Oversee high value fundraising streams and build a team at a hugely exciting time for this ambitious oracy education charity.
Voice 21 work with schools to transform young people’s learning and life chances through talk. The charity’s national network of Voice 21 Oracy Schools is changing the education system as we know it.
Unlike literacy and numeracy, too often spoken language skills (oracy) are left to chance rather than taught explicitly in our education system today. Voice 21 work with schools to change this, increasing access to high-quality oracy education for those that need it most. Since launching in 2015, Voice 21 have worked with over 2000 schools across the UK, helping more than a quarter of a million young people to find their voice for success in school and life. Today, over 450,000 children attend a Voice 21 Oracy School. By 2025, Voice 21 want to reach 800,000, as well as continue to build the case for an oracy rich curriculum.
The Fundraising team at Voice 21 is at an exciting time in its journey. Over the past 8 years, they have built and refined how they work with schools and have collated a strong evidence base for their impact. Together with the arrival of a new CEO, Dr Kate Paradine, who joined in October, this marks a real inflection point in their history and they need an exceptional Head of Fundraising to ensure Voice 21 can take oracy into every school across the UK.
