Job description

About the role

As the AI Enablement Coordinator, you will champion and embed practical, AI-powered tools and workflows across Achieving for Children, empowering our teams to innovate and work more efficiently.

Working under the broad direction of the AI Enablement Lead, you will:

• Analyse everyday service workflows to pinpoint where applications like Google Gemini, NotebookLM, and Magic Notes deliver genuine efficiency and quality gains.
• Take end-to-end ownership of deploying, optimising, and quality-assuring AI tools across assigned service areas.
• Act as an accessible, go-to guide for colleagues and leaders on what AI can do, how to use it safely, and what best practice looks like.
• Identify root causes when tool uptake stalls or solutions underperform, working proactively to resolve operational issues.

• Monitor progress, measure adoption metrics, and report on the performance of active AI projects across the organisation.

About you

As an AI Enablement Coordinator, you will champion and embed practical, AI-powered tools and workflows across Achieving for Children, empowering our teams to innovate and work more efficiently.

This role is about enabling our colleagues to use AI tools more effectively. We aren't expecting you to be a technical expert in all things AI, but need to be willing to learn new tools and be confident using technology. You'll need to be a good communicator and be able to support colleagues who may be resistant or uncertain about some of the new technology we are rolling out, helping them realise the benefits these tools can offer. You'll need to understand how the practitioners you will support work, so you will need a broad understanding of children's services.

• Identify practical opportunities: Review everyday team workflows to find clear opportunities where tools like Google Gemini, NotebookLM, and Magic Notes can improve efficiency and work quality.
• Lead local implementation: Take ownership of introducing, refining, and embedding AI tools across designated service areas so they deliver maximum value to teams.
• Serve as an accessible AI champion: Act as an approachable advisor for colleagues and leaders-demystifying AI capabilities, sharing best practices, and promoting safe, confident use.
• Overcome adoption barriers: Spot where engagement is low or solutions aren't delivering, working proactively with teams to resolve practical challenges and improve usage.
• Ensure safety and compliance: Work alongside system leads and vendors to maintain clear guidance, understand how information is used, and ensure tools are used responsibly.
• Track progress and impact: Monitor tool adoption, measure performance, and report on the overall outcomes and success of active AI projects across the organisation.
