Job overview
Fixed term until June 30th 2020
London
The link between low income and low academic attainment is greater in the UK than almost any other developed nation. Children eligible for free school meals are less likely to get good GCSEs and go on to higher education. This makes it more likely they will struggle throughout their lives, widening social inequality. It’s a cycle that we’re determined to break.
We work with thousands of brilliant teachers, schools, universities and partners in England and Wales, and to support this work we are looking for an exceptional School Partnerships Lead to join us on a fixed term basis in our London office.
This role will be responsible for developing and implementing a strategy for school partnerships which increases the breadth of our school relationships through recruitment of new schools and deepening existing school relationships by connecting schools to the wider Teach First network of partners.
You will be recognised within the marketplace as a recruitment specialist or subject matter expert with in-depth understanding of both sector best practice and future trends, and have extensive experience of managing existing relationships and negotiate, developing tactics to generate, manage and cultivate leads.
Along with the satisfaction of knowing you are making a real difference, you will also receive £31510 per annum with roles based in London receiving a further £3000 London Weighting Allowance & excellent benefits.
The day when no child’s future is limited by their background is coming, yet, there is still more to be done. Join us and help us ensure every child in the UK has a fair shot at their ambitions.
