Education Associate

What it’s like working at Skills Builder Partnership

Joining Skills Builder is not like working anywhere else. Our team consistently say they have never worked anywhere as collaborative, supportive or mission oriented. We combine the fun and dynamism of a start-up, the professional development opportunities of a corporate, the innovation of a digital native and the social impact focus of a charity.

We are serious about delivering social mobility through our vision that one day everyone builds the essential skills to succeed. That means we are ambitious and set high standards for ourselves. We are reflective, inclusive and supportive.

In practice this means that everyone makes time for others in the team, we get stuck in to solve problems together, we have regular employee surveys where leadership talk through every single suggestion and the whole team is involved in developing our strategy.

About the role

In this role, you will be at the forefront of delivering tangible change. You will work with our partners strategically to embed the Skills Builder framework and approach into their organisations, enabling individuals to build the skills that unlock social mobility and life outcomes.

Our Education Associates all have a track record of high-quality teaching practice in the UK in any subject specialism. Being able to effectively build relationships is also really valuable, including the ability to influence senior leaders.

The role presents a unique opportunity for those with a teaching background to build a career in delivering systemic social impact. To begin with, you’ll work with Schools and Colleges. As you build your confidence, you’ll then have the opportunity to work in new areas. This could mean working with our employer partners or other social impact organisations, our tech products and resources or leading a strategic innovation project in the education team.

We have big ambitions and your scope to grow, learn and achieve matches that. If you want to benefit from working with an inspiring team, with huge potential for learning, growth and development, we want to hear from you.
