Learning Hub Manager

What if young people ran their own reception, cooked their own food, organised their own celebrations and took real responsibility for the community they are part of?

At Global Village Learning, they do.

We are looking for someone pretty special to become the steady centre of our Entrepreneurship & Social Impact Learning Hub at New Gisborne.

This is not a teaching role.

It is a community role.

Our Entrepreneurship & Social Impact Learning Hub is home to learners aged approximately 11 to 16. It is learner-led and adult-supported, with young people increasingly taking responsibility for their learning, their spaces and the community around them.

Working closely with the Hub Lead, you’ll be the constant presence across the Hub. The person who knows the people, knows the spaces and generally knows what is going on.

You’ll know every learner by name and, over time, their families too. You’ll notice the space that needs resetting, the maintenance job that needs logging, the learner whose attendance has changed, the Guide who needs a hand, or the young person with an ambitious idea who needs help making it happen.

And you won’t do it from behind a desk.

You might be cooking alongside young people in the kitchen, coaching the learners who run our reception, backing the Social Committee as they organise events and celebrations, or walking our spaces, inside and out, leaving them better than you found them.

You’ll help keep the Entrepreneurship & Social Impact Developmental Learning Hub calm, organised, welcoming and cared for.

You’re probably someone who remembers names and faces, notices detail and genuinely enjoys being around young people. You like things organised but can handle a day that doesn’t go to plan. You’re practical, you get stuck in, and you don’t walk past something because it belongs to someone else’s job description.

Most importantly, you believe what we believe.

Young people have far greater capacity than we give them credit for.

At GVL, they don’t just learn about agency, responsibility and community contribution. They live it.

Our job as adults is to create the conditions that allow that to happen.

If knowing every learner who walks through the door, cooking alongside young people, helping them run their own reception, backing their ideas and making sure an entire community feels cared for sounds like a great day at work, we’d really like to meet you.
