"My previous experience in university settings, justice issues, and the broader education sector has highlighted the importance of strategic approaches in creating opportunities for the youth. Joining the Impetus team allows me to refine and align my skills with a mission that drives meaningful and impactful change."

"My life has been profoundly shaped by educational opportunities which broadened my career prospects and helped me to better understand the world’s complexities - but I know too many people aren't as lucky. I’m thrilled to be part of an organisation that is not only expanding access but also striving to shift the narrative about underserved communities and amplify diverse voices on education and employment."

“Young people are the future of the UK and yet, investment in their future through education and youth employment continues to be limited. Particularly in the wake of challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and an ongoing cost of living crisis, Impetus' efficient, evidence-led approach is more crucial than ever. I'm thrilled to be part of such a spirited team, whose work makes a meaningful and visible contribution to people's lives.”

“Too many of my friends from school didn’t get the opportunities I did, but the organisations Impetus works with are putting that right. I love to hear the inspirational before and after stories from the young people those organisations work with. Transformational change is possible.”

"I joined Impetus because I am inspired by its commitment to ensuring all children, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds, receive the support they need to thrive in school. Having been the first in my family to attend university, I understand the transformative power of education. My role at Impetus allows me to leverage research and insights to influence policy and decision-makers, and I am excited to contribute to Impetus' mission after a decade in higher education."

"My goal is for equality to be brought about in our society. Providing opportunities for, and access to, education for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds is crucial for a fairer, more equal society - Impetus is driving the structural changes needed to make this vision a reality."

“Having spent a number of years as a school governor I know how important it is that all young people are supported to get the best start in life. The work that Impetus does is vital and lifechanging, and I am excited about being able to use my skills to help brilliant organisations transform young lives...”

"Having joined from one of Impetus' portfolio partners, I know first-hand how an organisation can benefit from Impetus' support. One of my favourite experiences there was an Impetus Driving Impact Workshop, when the whole organisation came together to agree how we could better reach the young people we existed to serve. We left that workshop inspired and confident in how we could transform the lives of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds."

"Supporting organisations to find what works and taking their impact to scale is more vital than ever in tackling the barriers that hold back too many young people. Impetus and our partners are uniquely placed to take those voices to power and achieve lasting change.”
