Join us in the fight for childhood.
The NSPCC has been working to prevent child abuse and neglect for over 130 years. Our vision is simple: every child deserves to feel safe, listened to, and understood. Through our Schools Service, we deliver safeguarding messages and resources to children, teachers, parents, and carers across the UK and Channel Islands.

We are now seeking a Reach Manager to lead the development and delivery of our Theatre in Education Programme, a key part of our Talk Relationships initiative. This is an exciting opportunity to shape innovative educational experiences that help children build healthy relationships and stay safe.

What you'll do

• Develop and implement a Theatre in Education plan, ensuring regional teams are equipped for success.

• Lead partnerships with theatre groups across the UK to deliver impactful programmes in schools.
• Coordinate project groups and manage internal and external stakeholders.
• Review and update programme content to align with NSPCC's Healthy Relationships strategy.
• Analyse reach data and produce clear, evidence-based reports for diverse audiences.
• Inspire and motivate teams to achieve shared goals for reach and engagement.

What we're looking for

• Strong project management skills and experience delivering large-scale programmes, across the UK.

• Proven leadership ability to build relationships and collaborate across teams.
• Knowledge of the Schools Service, education landscape, including SEND and informal learning settings.
• Experience in developing content related to healthy relationships and safeguarding.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to use data to inform decisions.

Why join us?

You'll be part of a passionate team committed to making a real difference for children. We offer a supportive, inclusive environment and the chance to lead a high-profile project that will have a lasting impact.

For a conversation about the role, you can contact janet.hinton@nspcc.org.uk

We have a number of employees at the NSPCC who are regrettably at risk of redundancy, following a significant restructure. In keeping with our values and our policies, if any of these individuals apply for a role and meet the minimum essential criteria, they will be given priority consideration. We hope that you understand our position on this and that this will not discourage you from applying. We cannot predict who, internally, will apply for a role, or whether they will meet the minimum essential criteria. Where no at risk candidates meet the minimum essential criteria, all applications will be considered as normal.

As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk. Our safer recruitment practices support this by ensuring that there is a consistent and thorough process of obtaining, collating, analysing and evaluating information from and about candidates to ensure that all persons appointed are suitable to work with our children and adults.

At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.

NSPCC is that the NSPCC highly embraces,

encourages and promotes diversity and

inclusiveness of staff.
