About the Role

This is a varied, hands-on role supporting the day-to-day running of the business.

You’ll help keep workshops, enquiries, and operations running smoothly, while gradually developing the skills to support - and eventually lead - sessions.

No two days will look the same. Some will be focused on admin and coordination, others on supporting delivery and being out in schools.

This role would suit someone who is proactive, organised, and confident communicating with schools, and who enjoys variety and wants to grow into a delivery-focused role over time.

What You’ll Be Doing

This role is a real mix of organisation, communication, and hands-on support. You’ll be key to us building relationships and helping to create a really positive experience from first enquiry through to delivery.

Day-to-day, that might look like:

• Managing the inbox and replying to enquiries from schools and organisations

• Sending out workshop information and helping schools get booked in

• Keeping the diary organised and making sure sessions and meetings are scheduled smoothly

• Following up on enquiries or conversations with potential clients, partners and schools

• Preparing and organising everything needed for workshops - from books and worksheets to kit bags and materials

• Supporting on delivery days, including setting up and packing down our equipment and workshop materials.

• Shadowing sessions and gradually building confidence to deliver workshops

• Supporting reporting and general administration tasks as required

• Helping us keep things visible by organising basic social media content scheduling

• Being a reliable, organised point of contact who helps keep everything moving

• Occasionally attending and representing us at events across the UK

What We’re Looking For

• Highly organised and naturally proactive

• A confident and clear communicator (both written and verbal)

• Someone who enjoys working with people and building relationships

• Willing to learn and grow into workshop delivery

• Self-motivated and happy to roll up your sleeves - we are a start-up, so it’s all hands on deck at times

• Comfortable using systems such as CRMs and Microsoft Office

• Someone who genuinely cares about making a difference in children’s lives

Desirable (but not essential)

• Experience working with children (education, youth work, etc.)

• Experience in admin, coordination, or customer-facing roles

• Background in VCSE, education, or social value

• Interest in safety, health, and wellbeing

• Full clean UK driving licence

• Enhanced DBS (this can be provided)

What We Offer

• Holiday entitlement of 28 days per year inclusive of statutory bank holidays (pro rata based on contracted hours)

• A role that balances office-based work with hands-on delivery

• Opportunity to be part of a growing social enterprise working with high-profile clients and partners

• Direct involvement in meaningful, real-world impact

• Full training provided, plus funding for any additional training required

• A supportive environment where your ideas and input are genuinely valued

Working Pattern (Important)

This role is contracted at 25 hours per week.

While typical days will be 5 hours, some days may occasionally be longer due to workshops and travel. These are balanced with shorter days across the week.

We understand that life doesn’t revolve around work, so we aim to communicate schedules clearly and in advance wherever possible.
