About the Education and Employers charity

Education and Employers is an independent UK based charity launched in 2009 with the vision of “providing children and young people with the inspiration, motivation, knowledge, skills and opportunities they need to help them achieve their potential”. It aims to achieve this by working with schools, employers, the national bodies that represent them and a wide range of other partners including the government and third sector organisations. The charity also works with partners internationally – more details visit our website.

The charity runs Inspiring the Future, a free service which uses innovative match-making technology to connect volunteers with state schools and colleges, quickly, simply and at scale. Schools can very easily search a massive database of willing volunteers, filter against a wide range of criteria – e.g. subject, sector, career route and send them a message. It enables young people, wherever they live, whichever school they attend, the opportunity to meet people from a wide range of backgrounds doing jobs from across the whole world of work.

Over 90,000 people have already volunteered in the UK - people from all levels: apprentices to CEOs and all sectors: apps designers to zoologists and over 85% of English secondary schools have registered. People can volunteer from an hour a year in a local primary or secondary school to chat informally about their job and career route, take part in career speed networking session, give careers insights, provide mock interviews or feedback on CVs through to serving as a governor or trustee.  There is also the opportunity to link up with schools for workplace visits, job shadowing and mentoring.

Inspiring the Future operates on a technology platform kindly developed in partnership with Deloitte, Salesforce and Ordnance Survey. It allows the charity to run national campaigns others focused on specific geographic areas or economic sectors such as engineering, science, health and arts and culture. The campaigns have secured high profile support across government, business and teacher associations and ongoing corporate partnerships including our lead corporate partner Bank of America.

In partnership with the National Association of Head Teachers the charity has developed a version for primary schools called Primary Futures and over 6,500 primaries have already signed up. To see a short clip on how it works please visit our website.  All campaigns run through Inspiring the Future share a common objective: to broaden young people’s horizons, raise their aspirations and show them the range of opportunities and careers routes e.g. apprenticeships and university open to them. Over 3.5 million interactions between young people and volunteers from the world of work have already taken place.

The charity runs Inspiring Governance the free governor recruitment and support service. This Department for Education funded service aims to get highly skilled volunteers to serve as governors in some of the most disadvantaged schools in England and in so doing help raise educational achievement.

Since the Charity’s launch it has sought to understand what difference employer engagement in education makes to young people and the economy. It works with academics and researchers from around the world and its own research is regularly cited by government and international organisations like the OECD. The research, which has informed and influenced a range of government policies, shows that employer engagement helps improve social mobility, reduces the likelihood of young people becoming NEET (not in education, employment of training), increases the amount they earn in adult life, helps them make better informed career choices and leads to improvements in educational attainment.

Join a great team supporting local older people

Age UK Richmond are a local independent charity providing much needed support to older people throughout the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Our wide range of services have a highly positive and long-lasting impact on the health and wellbeing.  Our friendly and committed team of 45 staff and 100+ volunteers support around 4,000 local older people each year.

We currently have an excellent newly created opportunity to join our team and play a key role in our  development as we look to the future.

The population of Richmond upon Thames is expected to continue to grow older over coming years. Existing and new generations of older people will have different needs and expectations for us to respond to in partnership. Our local health & social care partners will need us to find new ways of providing support that will reduce pressure on them. We will also need to find ways to further increase, replace and diversify income. This challenging but rewarding new senior position has been created to help us respond to some of these opportunities and challenges.

We are looking for an excellent communicator, strategic thinker and relationship builder with fundraising / development experience. A proactive, flexible and positive approach is also essential, with a keen interest in improving the lives of older people at a local level. 

This central key role within the charity will include:

· Support the delivery of the organisation’s strategic objectives and be involved in the strategy development, business planning and financial planning process working with the CEO.

· Identifying  opportunities to further develop existing services and provide new ones (e.g. for older people with dementia and their unpaid carers) in ways that will improve reach and impact to meet the needs of existing and new generations of older people – working closely with staff at all levels and through the development of external partnerships.

· Developing high quality and successful funding proposals and business cases to support existing work and new development. Research and apply to funding sources aligned with the organisation’s strategy and beneficiary group and build relationships with these funders.

· Leading on specific projects, often working in partnership with other voluntary sector organisations and other stakeholders.  

· Representing the organisation in a compelling and inspiring way.
