About Kindred Squared
Kindred² is a well-funded education charity with a clear purpose and sense of mission.
Our vision is to ensure that every child is equipped to thrive when they begin their school-based education at the age of four. For this to happen the country needs to allocate a greater share of its scarce resources of time, attention, skills, and money to meet the needs of children aged 0- 60 months.
Our mission for the next three years is to increase public awareness of:

The interactions we have in the first four years of life are critical to later life outcomes.
Our national failure to support the early development of all our children olds impacts not only individuals’ life chances but the future success and prosperity of the nation.
The simple steps that can be taken by us all to do better.

We work in partnership with private, public and third sector organisations.
The Kindred team has a culture of high performance, and we are seeking a dynamic individual who enjoys working flexibly and thrives in a fast-paced environment.
The team
We are a small team of highly committed and energised individuals who are totally focused on raising the awareness of the importance of the early years to individual children, their families, communities and society as a whole. We have a huge ambition, but we are grounded in the realities of political priorities and effective partnership working.
We are funded by our trustees for at least three years to cover planned expenditure required to deliver and develop our plans without recourse to other donors.
We value rigour, collaboration, energy, creativity, delivery and good humour. We seek the delivery of concrete results in line with our mission and, of course, having fun.
We respect and embrace diversity of all sorts.
