Company Profile EduSpots is an innovative, dynamic, and locally driven UK and Ghanaian registered charity which connects, trains, and equips voluntary community educators to create transformative literacy and STEM opportunities through education spaces named ‘Spots’, with a focus on female empowerment and environmental action. Together, we are creating a movement of community-based changemakers. Since 2016, through collaborating extensively with over 250 local volunteers, we have supported 50 communities in creating and running community-led and owned education spaces named ‘Spots’, with a strategy to support them in moving towards our ‘Dream Spot Model’. We are developing a model for a community-led education space with accompanying network engagement that could have applications across the world. Our 16-strong but entirely part-time and remote working Ghanaian team creates collaborative learning opportunities through our Ignite and Community Leadership in Development (CLEd) Programmes which include training to lead our EduLit, EduSTEM, EduKidz and Ignite Girls clubs, alongside locally designed education projects, reaching over 15,000 students of all ages annually. Read our 2022 Impact Report here. We are in an exciting period of our development. We won the Tes International Award in 2018 and the Big Give Supporters’ Choice Award in 2022, and we were recently selected as a finalist for the Their World Scale-Up Innovation Prize. In 2021, our Founder was a Finalist in The Varkey Foundation’s $1 million Global Teacher Prize, supported by UNESCO, partly for her role in developing EduSpots. We are excited by our future.

We are looking for a dynamic individual with a passion for gender equity. The candidature will have the ability to inspire our voluntary Catalysts through online training and resources, holding the drive, creativity and online working skills to make this programme a success.
In 2023, we launched our new Ignite Girls clubs programme through five regional conferences as part of the wider Ignite Programme. The programme has been a huge success, with over 100 volunteers proactively engaging in the activities, and creating their own to further advance the change through 23 of the ‘Spots’, reaching over 600 learners. In 2024, following requests from the communities, Ignite Girls started to involve boys in promoting girls' rights, also focusing on the gender-focused needs of boys at Junior High Level, leading to a name change to 'Ignite Equity'. The Ignite Equity Club programme is led at a local level by 50+ community volunteers with clubs involving 20-30 boys and girls in Junior High 2. The themes that will be explored on a monthly basis include gender stereotypes, communication skills, menstrual hygiene, social entrepreneurship, sexual harassment, careers, and other topics identified as important through our communities.
The role of the Ignite Equity Coordinator will be to create the monthly content and training material for this programme, working closely with the Education and Research Manager to offer a strong remote community of support, bringing volunteers together to collaborate via WhatsApp and Zoom. You will oversee all elements of the coordination of the programme, including the management of small grants, also managing the Peer Mentor for Ignite Equity to provide outstanding support for our local volunteers. This role will also involve oversight of a curriculum of engagement relating to our ‘Keeping Spots Safe’ work which intersects with elements of the Ignite Equity programme. You will work with the Education and Research Manager, and the Head of Programmes, to develop regular content on training to support Catalyst and learner engagement in child rights and safety, ensuring that our Spots are safe spaces for learning.
