Trust and Foundations Manager

New City College recruitment pack

Role overview

Job title Trust and Foundations Manager

Salary Starting at £38,900

Location Poplar High St, Poplar, London E14 0AF

Reports to Senior Projects Manager

Work closely with Senior management team; Poplar campus redevelopment team; Finance

Type of position Full-time, permanent

Introduction to New City College

New City College (NCC) is the fourth largest further education college in England. It has been formed through five mergers: the merger between Tower Hamlets College and Hackney Community College in August 2016 and subsequent mergers with Redbridge College in April 2017, Epping Forest College in August 2018 and the mergers with Havering College of Further and Higher Education and Havering Sixth Form College in August 2019.

NCC currently has over 25,000 students with a small provision of 14-15 education, a large cohort of 16-18 students and a significant number of adult students. It offers over a 100 courses from A Levels, BTECs and ESOL to vocational subjects, such as business, IT, performing arts, trade skills and catering as well as pre-University courses. Throughout its intensive period of growth, NCC has maintained a focus on students and teaching and learning.

NCC is based in east London and has 10 sites in five local authorities: Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Redbridge, Epping Forest and Havering. The College continues to maintain its strong local presence, serving the needs of its local communities.

Join an ambitious and exciting redevelopment project

The College has an ambitious plan to redevelop its campus in Poplar. Located on Poplar High Street, right next to Poplar DLR station and within 200m of Canary Wharf and Crossrail, the current campus is formed of an amalgam of buildings from different areas. The oldest part is a 1894 Poplar library building and it includes a grade II listed Naval College from 1906. Newer parts of the building are from 1990 and 2006. The current building is inefficient and it is no longer future proofed to accommodate education and training provision for decades to come.

As such, the College is looking to redevelop the new campus into a state-of-the-art education facility which provides a flexible learning environment, is aligned with industry requirements, is green, accessible and sustainable and celebrates the heritage of the local area and the Naval College. The new campus will be funded through an enabling development, built on the same site as the new campus. There is also an opportunity to enhance the public realm around the new development, including invigorating Poplar High Street.

Could this be the future campus in Poplar?

As part of the early planning for the redevelopment, NCC has worked with fundraising consultancy More Partnership to assess the overall potential to seek philanthropic support for aspects of the redevelopment, including specific subject areas and student groups. From this, it is clear that there is considerable scope to engage Trusts and Foundations with the project, and that resulting impact NCC has on the lives of young people in this part of London. 

As a result, NCC now wishes to appoint a Trusts and Foundations Manager to lead this work, and in so doing, to put in place a long-term and sustainable grant-focused fundraising programme.

Interviews will take place week commencing: 13th January 2020

If you wish to apply please email your CV and a supporting statement of no more than two sides of A4 explaining how you meet the requirements of the role.

Are you a skilled organiser, communicator and connector looking for your next challenge? 

Are you passionate about tackling complex societal challenges – and have an appetite to work in a fast-paced, collaborative role using design for social change? 

Do you want to use your skills and experience of delivering impactful projects to support a global community of creative problem-solvers, working for a progressive and constantly evolving organisation? 

We’re looking for a Project Manager to help us deliver the RSA Student Design Awards 

The RSA Student Design Awards (SDA) is a global competition focused around a set of project briefs that challenges university students and new graduates to tackle the big societal issues of our time through design thinking.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic Project Manager to be the driving force in delivering a brilliant SDA competition. This role will manage the delivery of multiple workstreams, bringing operational excellence, a solution-oriented mindset and great stakeholder engagement and communication skills. 

This is a hands-on position with lots of variety, from managing events, logistics and producing written content and communications for a range of channels, to cultivating strong relationships with SDA participants, alumni, judges, sponsors and higher education stakeholders. You’ll manage our outreach work with students and universities, oversee the judging process, track and measure our impact, and manage key communications throughout the programme cycle.

While there’s an incredible legacy behind the SDA programme (now in its 96th year!), it is also constantly evolving. We’ve achieved great things in recent years and throughout our history, but we have big ambitions to grow our impact even further. Each year our competition briefs change to reflect current societal and environmental challenges, and we always strive to adapt and improve the programme. 

You’ll show a commitment to the RSA’s mission and ideally be able to demonstrate an interest in the application of design for social change. You will have strong organisational skills, enjoy delivering at pace, and be able to work flexibly within a busy team environment. You have great interpersonal skills, and the confidence and ability to communicate effectively and build relationships with a wide range of stakeholders. Mindset also matters just as much as experience. You approach work with humility and a willingness to problem-solve, continuously learn, and collaborate.  
 

Valuing diversity is essential to the RSA's work. We are an equal opportunities employer, we are committed to recruiting people from underrepresented groups and we actively encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds.
