Job Details

You will be taking up a permanent role as an Education Worker on IntoUniversity’s Graduate Scheme, helping to change the lives of young people.

Location: We have positions available in Hartlepool and Manchester/Salford.

Education Workers are based at one of our IntoUniversity learning centres and work directly with young people, schools and families on a daily basis. It is therefore not a hybrid role and is based full-time in our centres.

You’ll be joining our charity as a permanent member of the team. Our Graduate Scheme provides two years of training and career development and we ask candidates to commit to staying with the charity for at least this duration. 

After completing your first year of the programme there will be the opportunity for everyone on the graduate scheme to take on a new challenge and apply for a promotion to Senior Education Worker, subject to satisfactory performance in role. And after you’ve completed the two-year scheme, you’re guaranteed a position with us - our Graduate Scheme roles are permanent jobs. 

New job roles and further promotions are regularly available - many of our Education Workers go on to become Centre Leaders running our centres, or take up promotion opportunities in central operational or Head Office roles.

The Education Worker role is a fast-paced and rewarding role where no two weeks will look the same. A typical day will have different activities, possibly spread between the IntoUniversity centre, partner schools and the offices of a corporate partner.

In order to be eligible for the graduate scheme, applicants must: 

• Have completed (by the time of starting) an undergraduate degree to a 2.2 or higher.
• Have achieved a grade C / grade 4 or higher in GCSE Maths and English/ achieved National 5s or Standard Grade at Credit level (grades 1-2) in Maths and English (or equivalent). 
• Have some previous experience (voluntary or paid) of working with children or young people.
