Are you passionate about improving technical education? Gatsby Charitable Foundation is looking for a highly organised Project Officer to play an integral part in its programme delivery, with a particular focus on T Level industry placements.

Location: Manchester (On-site Tuesday-Thursday)

Applications close at 9 a.m. Friday 12th December.

Who we are

In 1967, David Sainsbury wrote out a cheque for five pounds to establish the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. Lord Sainsbury has since given Gatsby more than £1 billion to distribute to charitable causes in fields he is passionate about, including neuroscience, plant science, development in East Africa and public policy.

Gatsby established a small team focused on education policy in England almost 40 years ago. The team’s priorities have typically mirrored and sought to address the policy challenges of the times, from addressing the uptake of engineering degrees in the 1980s to our commitment to the improvement of the nation’s technical education and career guidance systems today. While priorities have changed and evolved, our approach has been consistent: we aim to be more than a funder. We act as an enabler for projects, working with partners in designing, developing, and, in some cases, delivering activities. We take a long-term view as we do not think much can be achieved by short, one-off projects.

We believe that a strong technical education system can open up good career opportunities for young people and adults, as well as drive greater national productivity and economic competitiveness. That is why our current work is focused on supporting the implementation of technical education reforms and the embedding of a stable career guidance system in England.

About the role

Gatsby is seeking a proactive and curious Project Officer to support the delivery of work that strengthens T Level implementation and expands high-quality industry placements across England. Working in the Industry Placement Team, you will help manage grants and contracts, coordinate employer-facing projects, organise events and networks, and capture insights and outputs to inform future activity. You will contribute to developing training and support for industry placement coordinators, produce case studies and blog content, and build relationships with providers, employers and sector partners.

This role works across several T Level subject areas. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in or adjacent to further education, strong organisational and communication skills, and an enthusiasm for supporting technical education.

Please click 'Redirect to recruiter’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the job description and register your interest to apply.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Friday 12th December.

The essentials …

• Full-time (Monday – Friday), permanent
• £37,000 - £40,000 (based on experience)
• Hybrid working, typically two or three days per week in the office but may vary depending on workload. Some out of hours working may be required, with time in lieu offered.

This is an exciting role helping to bring one of our most successful innovations of recent years to the next level. You will take the lead on management of the Training Course programme from inception to completion, working within a friendly and dynamic events team. With help from our Training Course Committee and others you will secure a pipeline of repeat courses, lead the process of developing and commissioning new courses, work closely with convenors and trainers to bring courses to fruition, develop relationships with big customers and work with marketing colleagues to promote courses, organise the delivery of the courses and ensure customers are delighted with the outcome.
