ABOUT US
We’re a small, creative and fast-growing charity that was established from inside The Economist in 2012. We support children, aged 10 to 16, from under-served backgrounds to develop essential skills for the modern world. We do this by enabling them to join inspiring discussions about the news, which teach them to think critically, communicate effectively and understand global issues.
Our activities
Our programme, Topical Talk, brings about these discussions in four ways:
- We create world-class teaching resources for classroom discussions about global news stories
- We run Topical Talk Festival: the only news festival for young people. Children from countries all over the world join discussions with each other and global experts; and they work towards publishing their opinions in written, audio and film format for the chance to win awards
- We offer Topical Talk Prizes: collections of resources for a series in-depth discussions about a big global issue or theme, following which students submit their work for the chance to win prizes
- We train and support teachers to bring high-quality news discussions into their classrooms; including through intensive, in-person community partnerships in the UK, US and Nigeria
Our impact
Children who take part in Topical Talk can make seven times more progress compared to their peers in creativity, problem-solving, open-minded listening and confident speaking. These skills are linked with better outcomes at school, in employment and as citizens. Our programme has received international recognition, including by HundrED as one of the top 100 educational initiatives of 2020 and 2021, and as first-prize winner of the UNESCO Global Media and Information Literacy Awards 2022.
Our ambitions
We are at an exciting point in our trajectory. We have demonstrated huge growth potential, going from a small UK pilot in 2013 to working with thousands of teachers globally today, including on-the-ground work in the UK and US. There is still an enormous unmet need, so we have bold plans to reach one million children in 2026, with 100,000 engaging on a weekly basis.
THE ROLE
We’re looking for a qualified teacher or ex-teacher who is excited to play a hands-on role in our team, training and building relationships with Topical Talk teachers in the UK and internationally.
You’ll be responsible, alongside our Teacher Engagement and Development Lead, for supporting teachers to get the most from Topical Talk programmes. You’ll do this by building strong relationships with a range of individual teachers, school groups (for example multi-academy trusts) and organisations. You'll be confident communicating with and motivating teachers, and delivering inspiring teacher training in a range of settings in the UK and internationally. You’ll also work directly with 10- to 16-year-old students on a regular basis, to model lessons to teachers, deliver workshops and facilitate online discussions.
From time to time you will work with our content team to give input into the creation of interactive lessons on news topics. You’ll share ideas for class activities or topics, join idea-generation and feedback sessions, and occasionally draft lessons yourself.
OPPORTUNITIES WE CAN OFFER YOU
- Real impact: you’ll work directly with teachers and students to make a real difference to children’s ability to think critically, listen well, express themselves and understand the big issues of our time
- Growth and development: you’ll join a fast-growing charity with opportunities to grow your skills and responsibility as the organisation takes on bigger challenges. We invest in training and development and will support you to build the skills and experience as you need, for example, working with you to find expert mentors within The Economist Group
- A friendly, driven and highly-effective team: we are deeply committed to being an inspiring, happy place to work, where we learn and achieve things that matter together. We work collaboratively and supportively, with the freedom to use our own judgement and be creative
- Flexible working: our core hours are from 10am to 4pm with a minimum of two days spent in the office each week (Wednesdays and Thursdays)
- Other benefits: Economist Group benefits include a great central-London office (The Adelphi Building near Charing Cross), private medical insurance, a cycle to work scheme and more

Kingston CF have no formal offices, this role is primarily home-based, with meetings in Kingston upon Thames and co-working days.
About Kingston Charitable Foundation
Kingston CF launched as an independent charity in January 2021, following eight successful years as local community fundraising project, Love Kingston. We are a small, dedicated team with over 30 years' third sector experience between us, and we work closely with our very supportive Board of Trustees.
Our mission is to:
• Identify where social needs exist in our area through commissioning, publishing, and utilising the best research available
• Provide funds to local support groups that have the expertise to alleviate need, enrich people’s lives and improve their life chances
• Inspire and engage with local donors to help build sustainable long-term funds to support our vision
• Build sustainable funds to increase the level of immediate and long-term resources available to organisations with charitable purposes across the borough of Kingston upon Thames
By awarding grants, Kingston CF enables community groups and small charities to continue to deliver much needed services and support across the borough. Our staff costs are entirely grant funded from other organisations, so that of every £1 raised through fundraising, 90p goes directly to these good causes supporting local people in our shared community.
There has never been a better time to join our ambitious team; Kingston CF is currently Charity of the Year for Kingston Chamber of Commerce, and we are undertaking Peer Research this summer, into ‘What Kingston Thinks’ with Rocket Science to inform and support the shaping of our strategy for the next 3 years.
