Closing date: 10am Monday 4 August 2025
This a 12 month fixed-term contract with a salary of £23,400 pa.
The role:
National Numeracy supports volunteers from our corporate partners to deliver sessions in primary schools that inspire children to see the value of maths in the real world. The Programme enables volunteers to directly support communities with low number confidence and skills, celebrating everyday maths, and developing the building blocks of social mobility in areas of need.
The new Programmes Assistant will work with the Volunteering Manager and wider Programmes Team to deliver this exciting Programme. The role will involve working with internal team members and external partners to assist with delivery, including recruitment of volunteers and schools, training of volunteers,resource delivery and preparation, feedback, data collection and associated admin. The Programmes Assistant will be the first point of contact for volunteers, schools and partner organisations.
We are looking for someone who is flexible and able to respond to the fast-paced work around the busiest periods of the year for the Programme. It’s not imperative that you come from the education or charity sectors, or that you have held an equivalent role previously, as long as you can show us that you have relevant transferable skills and an understanding of what it takes to be successful in this role.
National Numeracy is based in Falmer, just outside Brighton, but we are offering significant remote/hybrid and flexible working with this role. The role may include occasional UK travel, to visit schools, partner organisations, attend occasional Team Awaydays, and very occasionally to visit the office.
