Recently featured as an Escape the City Top 100 Places to Work, The Girls’ Network is an award-winning charity with a large and growing network of supporters, mentors and schools across eight regions of England.
We are now looking for a Network Manager to join us in the North East.
FUNCTION: Delivering our successful mentoring programmes in Tyne & Wear, Tees Valley and across the wider NE area.
WHERE THE ROLE FITS: Reporting to: North Senior Network Manager
SALARY: £27,825 per annum
CONTRACT: Fixed Term Contract - 12 months with possibility of extension
HOURS: 5 days per week, 37.5 hours (with some evening work)
LOCATION: Home based with weekly travel to schools and partners across the NE region. (Access to own vehicle required)
WHAT WE DO
Young people from lower income families are 40% less likely to go to University than wealthier peers (Dept for Education, 2020) which can have a lifelong impact on earning potential. Covid-19 has deepened inequalities (Social Mobility Foundation, 2022) and negatively impacted on young people's wellbeing (GirlGuiding, 2020). We believe that no girls should have their futures limited by their gender, sex, ethnicity, background, or parental income and they should be supported to realise their ambitions, to discover their self-worth, and to develop their capacity to shape their world and their futures.
We work in communities of least advantage across England to deliver two core programmes to achieve this vision. Through our mentoring programme we connect 14-19 year old girls with a mentor and a wider network of role models who are women and deliver opportunities which help them to build life skills and nurture their ambitions. Based on the idea that 'you can't be what you can't see', our mentors often help girls to broaden their horizons and create a more positive vision of their futures. After the programme, the mentees can join a free, lifelong network of support - our Ambassador Community, which offers further opportunities to reach their goals, build their confidence and to share their voices and experiences.
Our programmes help girls and young women to develop the knowledge, skills, self-belief and opportunities to thrive, and to be supported as part of a network that champions them and ensures their voices are heard.
