The Opportunity

At the Social Mobility Foundation we believe in a world where every young person can achieve their potential, regardless of the background they come from. Our practical contribution to this change is our Aspiring Professionals Programme – our flagship programme that serves thousands of students to gain the confidence and skills to access top universities and competitive graduate jobs.

The role of the Aspiring Professionals Programme Coordinator is central to the work of the Social Mobility Foundation as you work directly with our young people. You’re on the frontline of change. You’re responsible for diverse and varied projects, which range from running residentials to speaking in schools to shaping the programme for future years. The role is high paced and would suit someone who is truly motivated by our vision for social mobility, working with young people and who can take ownership of key delivery projects. We’re looking for a strong communicator, time manager and enthusiastic team member to join us.

Hours: Full time (37.5 hours) 9am-5.30pm. This role will require some evening and weekend work outside of your usual office hours for which you would accrue time off in lieu (TOIL). This is more common during our delivery period which typically falls between March and August each year but is not limited to that time.

SMF staff are currently working with a mix of home and office working for staff across all cities and so it is expected that you would travel to the relevant office and into the city to support with student delivery.
