This is an entry-level opportunity to join DiversITy-Talent (DVITT) and help run a programme that supports schools, colleges, community groups and businesses. You'll help plan and deliver sessions, keep track of progress, and support the wider team — all while learning directly from experienced leaders.

No prior experience running a programme is required. We're looking for someone organised, enthusiastic and keen to learn, who will grow into the role with structured support from our Co-Founder, Jeremy Blain, and our CEO, Anna Somaiya. There is genuine potential to progress into a more senior programme or leadership role as you build experience with us.

You must be a self-motivated individual, demonstrating strong action-oriented initiative from the start. You also must have strong interpersonal communication skills, including being comfortable presenting in front of groups. 

Running Programme Sessions

Keeping People in the Loop

•     Be the day-to-day point of contact for partners and internal teams — helping plan, communicate and solve problems as they come up.

•     Track shared goals (Key Performance Indicators - KPIs) with partners and report on progress monthly.

•     Join weekly team meetings to stay aligned with the wider facilitator team.

•     Help make sure sponsors feel informed and involved, including opportunities to get hands-on through mentoring.

Looking After Our Materials

•     Help keep the website updated each month with new photos, videos and news.

•     Keep our shared Google Drive organised, accurate and easy for the team to use.

Reporting and Tracking Progress

•     Build and update a simple monthly dashboard (internal and funding-partner specific)

•     Write clear monthly reports for sponsors and funders, showing progress and results.

> The report will show how the programme is progressing across schools, colleges and communities in Telford / West Midlands especially.

•     Help pull together the end-of-year consolidated report summarising the year's results.

Working with the Facilitator Team

•     Join weekly catchups with the facilitator team, led by Jeremy and with peers as and when.

•     Gather updates and insights from facilitators for reporting.

•     Offer support and help solve problems for facilitators.

•     Help keep delivery quality consistent across every location.

This role is designed as a launchpad. You'll receive hands-on mentoring from Jeremy and Anna, alongside other members of the team. You will get exposure to real strategic decision-making, and the chance to build skills across programme management, stakeholder engagement, facilitation and presentation, reporting and content creation. As you grow in confidence and capability, there is a clear route to take on more responsibility and progress within a fast-growing organisation.

You must be a self-starter and be prepared to take strong action-oriented initiative, demonstrating strong interpersonal communication skills and taking ownership for your deliverables.
