Job overview
Hours: Full time, term time only
Do you want to play an important role in creating opportunities for young people and helping to improve outcomes for disadvantaged children and families in Southwest London?
Emanuel School is looking for a warm, organised and proactive Community Partnerships Co-ordinator to help deliver its ambitious outreach and partnerships programme.
This is a rewarding role for someone who enjoys building relationships, bringing people together and making good things happen.
The role
You will oversee the co-ordination and administration of Emanuel School’s community partnership and outreach activities, working with local primary and secondary schools, charities, community organisations, as well as pupils and colleagues across the school.
The school’s partnerships work supports a culture of community service, shaped by its values of Aspiration, Connection and Empathy. Through programmes such as Primary Ambitions, Ascent and Year 6 Enrichment, you will help create positive opportunities for Emanuel pupils and the wider local community.
Your responsibilities will include:
Helping to organise and deliver key partnership and outreach programmes
Building and maintaining positive relationships with local schools, charities and community partners
Co-ordinating logistics, resources and communications to ensure events and activities run smoothly
Sharing positive and consistent messages about the programme through publications, social media and the school website
This is a full-time role during term time plus four additional weeks. Flexibility will be needed around planned events, and some evening and Saturday morning work may be required.
About you
We are looking for a confident, personable and highly organised individual who can build rapport with a wide range of people. You will bring excellent written and spoken English, strong planning skills and the ability to manage tasks calmly and professionally.
Experience of project co-ordination, outreach, partnerships, education or charity work would be helpful, but it is not essential. Emanuel is open to candidates from different sectors who can bring energy, integrity, discretion and a genuine commitment to supporting young people and the wider community.
This role also offers the potential for significant career development over time for the right candidate.
Working at Emanuel
There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school.
Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There’s a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there’s ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims.
We aim to look after our staff too. We have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee’s professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.

The closing date for this role is 15 August 2026.

“The school whole-heartedly fulfils its aims to inspire endeavour, confidence and ambition in its pupils.”
ISI Inspection Report April 2023
Welcome to Emanuel
We are a vibrant, fully co-educational school of over 1,100 pupils aged 10–18, supported by more than 200 dedicated teaching and support staff. Emanuel is a community driven by aspiration: our pupils, colleagues, and families share a commitment to excellence, personal growth, and lifelong learning.
This ambition is reflected in our record-breaking achievements. In 2025, 46% of GCSE grades were awarded the top grade 9, with 75% at 9–8 and 91% at 9–7 – the best results in the school’s history. At A Level, over 70% of grades were A*–A, with nearly a third awarded A*. Emanuel is now recognised as one of the leading fully co-educational schools in the country. The latest ISI Inspection report stated: “Pupils make excellent progress across the range of subjects and significant value is added to their academic outcomes.”
Our aspirations extend far beyond the classroom. We nurture talent in every field, with a deep commitment to sport, the arts, and STEM. We invest significantly in our facilities, including a ÂŁ30 million STEM and Refectory building currently underway, which will provide state-of-the-art science labs, maths classrooms, and vibrant social spaces. Our creative arts provision has earned national recognition, including the Independent School of the Year for Performing Arts (2023), while our work in Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion won the Talk Education Award (2024).
Connection lies at the heart of Emanuel life. Our thriving partnerships programme creates meaningful links with the wider community, welcoming over 1,000 primary school children to our site each month to learn alongside our pupils. This work was recognised with the Independent School of the Year Award for Community Outreach (2021).
Empathy shapes our culture. Emanuel is a positive and welcoming environment where every individual is valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive. Our talented and dedicated colleagues share a belief in the power of kindness, collaboration, and personal fulfilment. Together, we ensure that staff and pupils alike enjoy a sense of belonging and shared achievement.
We wish you the very best of luck with your application.
