Social Enterprise Academy Hiring for Education Coordinator Job at London, England Full Time

Join us as our new Education Coordinator (England) to help us grow our Social Enterprise Schools programme in London and across England.

The Social Enterprise Schools programme – part of the Social Enterprise Academy – is an extra-curricular programme which inspires young people (aged 5-18) to become social entrepreneurs.

We ask young people to identify a social or environmental issue they care about, before supporting them as they create a trading social enterprise over the course of a school year. Through Social Enterprise Schools, they build critical skills for life and work, connect with their communities and impact a social problem. Over the years, young people have created a range of innovative social enterprises, from tackling local unemployment through coding classes to selling books with diverse heroes in them (see this video for more detail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhZSQnFwx9A).

You will be joining the team in England at an exciting time. Since 2007, Social Enterprise Schools has predominantly been based in Scotland, where we have worked with circa 50,000 young people. More recently, we have established a base in London, and are currently working in 7 boroughs with 50 schools. This is set to grow over the years to come – both in London and across England.

We are looking for a talented Education Coordinator with strong organisational, administration and communication skills to join us as we roll out the programme to more schools and more geographical areas over the next few years. As part of a highly motivated team, this opportunity offers variety, satisfaction and a great opportunity to be part of something that is making a difference across the UK.

We are looking for someone who is up for working with the vibrant, entrepreneurial and dedicated people in our organisation and who wants to join us on this journey and grow as we grow.

Having the right mind-set, attitude and approach is as important for us as having the right experience and skills. We appreciate that the best person might not have all the listed criteria yet, so if you feel your experience and skills will help you to make a great contribution in this role and you have the right mind-set, we would welcome an application from you.
