About Central Foundation

For over 150 years, the Central Foundation Schools of London has supported two state schools in East London. The Girls’ School in Tower Hamlets provides places for over 1500 girls while the Boys’ School is based in Cowper Street, Islington and has over 1100 students. Today, the Foundation continues to benefit students at our schools providing funding while also supporting the schools to strengthen the opportunities and educational outcomes for current and future students. Having spent significant funds adding to the buildings and facilities at both schools, the Foundation is now investing in a series of collaborations to enhance the student experience and opportunities available.

About The Role

We are looking for a project manager for an exciting new careers initiative being launched by the Foundation this autumn. The Student Opportunities Project Manager will manage the set up and delivery of an extension to the careers programme of our schools. Collaborating with the existing careers leads at each school, we are establishing a new work experience and career insight offer tailored to the needs of each school, supported by a monitoring and evaluation framework. This is a part time position 4 days (28 hours) a week, initially for an 18-month fixed term role. The role is based at the Foundation Office within the Boys’ School and the successful candidate will spend regular time at both schools, Central Foundation Boys’ School at Old Street and Central Foundation Girls’ School at Bow Road. Remote and flexible work arrangements will allow for some home-based working. This is a great opportunity to inspire over 2,500 young people annually, to raise aspirations, widen their career and study horizons and develop an exciting new offer.

About The Person

You will have a good understanding of careers pathways post-16 and post-18 and experience of working with students or colleagues from a diverse range of backgrounds. This will be set in the context of great skills in planning, prioritising, and implementing projects, and managing multiple deadlines. You’ll be good at collaboration and building relationships and we’d love you to have experience of establishing and managing corporate partnerships. Most of all, you’ll be someone excited by the potential of the next generation, keen to open opportunities for them to expand their understanding and career horizons, and unlock their potential.

Supporting Information

The role will be based at the Foundation Office located at the Boys’ School in Islington with regular travel to the Girls’ School at Bow Road with some provision for remote working. Appointment is subject to satisfactory references and an enhanced DBS check.

How To Apply

We aim to be an open and inclusive organisation and so take a slightly different approach to recruitment. Interested candidates are encouraged to submit a tailored supporting statement which answers the following questions:

• Why are you a great fit for this role? Please reference the person specification and draw on your track record of managing a financial operation (circa 300 - 400 words or 1 side of A4).
• Give an example of a project you have established what steps did you take and how did you assess the success? (circa 200 - 400 words or 1 side of A4).
• Based on your knowledge of the charity and our schools, what careers and work experience opportunities might be most relevant to develop for our students and why? (circa 300 words)
