OAT #iwill Project Leader

We are looking for an exceptional individual to join us in a new and rewarding opportunity working alongside the #iwill campaign. #iwill promotes social action among 10-20-year-olds and includes activities such as campaigning, fundraising and volunteering, all of which create a double benefit to communities and young people themselves. The focus of our role is working with us and our sponsor Ormiston Trust to increase students’ social action activity and social, emotional and life skills (SELS) through things like student voice, PHSE, careers and literacy across our extensive national academy network. This individual will play a pivotal role in ensuring that our OAT students are meaningfully engaged in all aspects of the #iwill programme including key decision-making powers regarding the focus of social action proposals as well as opportunities to contribute strategically to what direction we take.

The successful candidate will ideally have:

• Extensive experience in leading or delivering programmes that teach young people social, emotional and life skills so will have worked in an education setting at some stage in their career
• Strong leadership skills and the ability to deliver tangible outcomes in a time critical manner across a diverse geographic network from Grimsby across to the Isle of Wight
• An understanding of evidence-based practice approaches and a good knowledge of monitoring and evaluation techniques
