Careers at Big Change
Big Change is a UK based charity, supported by a global and local network of allies. Our vision is to see society working together so that all young people are set up to thrive in life, not just exams.
We act as a catalyst for transformation focused on long-term system changes to education and learning. We do this by focusing on three main areas of impact work:
1. The Big Education Challenge A £1m prize fund backing early stage ideas with the potential to transform education and learning in the UK.
2. A New Education Story Generating insight and learning from different contexts to drive transformation and not reform.
3. Big Education Conversation A public listening exercise focused on inclusive conversations about the purpose of education.
Escape's take on Big Change
Big Change is all about flipping the script for young people, nurturing a future where they can truly thrive. They connect an inspiring community of bold changemakers, backing fresh ideas that rethink and reshape the systems around young folks. Imagine working in a place where your potential is cherished, with a stellar learning budget, unlimited leave, and a genuine belief in personal growth—not your everyday corporate gig! They’ve got a knack for championing early-stage leaders under 30, supporting impactful projects like Voice 21, which revolutionized oracy education. Big Change is not just about making a living but making a life-changing difference.
