Job Purpose

We are looking for a Programmes and Partnerships Coordinator to coordinate and develop Villiers Park's programmes in the East of England.

The Programmes and Partnerships Coordinator will manage our Future Leaders hub in Norwich and develop relationships with schools, colleges and other partners in
Cambridge, Norwich and across the East of England. You will help us extend Villiers
Park's reach and impact, so that we can enable more young people from under
- represented and disadvantaged backgrounds to realise their potential.


Organisational Values

Fairness:

We strive for justice and argue unwaveringly for fairness in a world of compromise, prejudice, inequality and deeply entrenched disadvantage.


Empowerment:

We are passionate about working with individuals to enable them to find the skills and resources within themselves to flourish and have healthy futures.


Aspiration:

We continually seek ways to improve what we do, how we do it, and the impact we have on the world around us.


Courage:
We create an environment where we can be courageous by speaking and listening openly. We know that courage means taking risks and support others to learn.


Who we are:

Villiers Park Educational Trust is a national social mobility charity committed to empowering young people to realise their potential.

We've been working with underrepresented young people in areas with historically low access to higher education and careers opportunities since 1909, helping them to achieve better life outcomes.


What we do:

We are experts in working with young people aged 14-19 from underrepresented backgrounds.

We believe every young person should have an equal opportunity to excel at school, at university and into their careers.

Our unique and highly-tailored programmes increase aspirations for learning and motivation, develop academic, employability and personal skills and raise attainment.


Where we work:


We work in areas with historically low participation in higher education and persistently high levels of deprivation, ensuring that young people aren't disadvantaged by the postcode lottery.


Our Hub Locations:

  • Tyneside
  • Norwich
  • Swindon
  • Cambridge
  • Hastings & Bexhill
