About Impetus Our vision is for a society where all young people, regardless of their background, can thrive in school, secure crucial qualifications, and take their first steps into the world of work on the journey to sustained employment in adulthood, for a fulfilling life. As a leading impact funder, since 2002, Impetus has been helping the best leaders build stronger organisations delivering the most promising interventions that support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to succeed against the odds. We do this by using our deep expertise and high calibre networks to give the best non-profits the essential ingredients to have a real and lasting impact, through a powerful combination of long-term funding, direct capacity building support from our experienced team and our pro bono partners, alongside research and policy influencing to drive lasting systems change. We tackle the three most difficult challenges that affect a young person''s ability to succeed in life in Britain today:• Lost learning through absence, suspensions, exclusions from school.• Stagnation in education attainment outcomes, which means many are missing out on key qualifications like GCSE English and maths.• The large numbers of young people out of education, training and employment. These are challenges that are faced by all young people, but they disproportionately affect young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. You would be joining a team that is passionate, rigorous, determined, creative
