In 2021, Kew launched its Manifesto for Change and training the next generation of experts is one of Kew’s five key priorities for the next 10 years. We are now looking for a highly competent member of our Science education support team to administer and coordinate a range of training opportunities for undergraduates, postgraduates and professionals.

The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew) is a leading plant science institute, UNESCO World Heritage Site, and major visitor attraction. Our mission is to understand and protect plants and fungi for the well-being of people and the future of all life on Earth.

We are working to end the unprecedented extinction crisis and to help create a world where nature is protected, valued by all and managed sustainably. We will achieve these goals by drawing on our leading scientific research, unrivalled collections of plants and fungi, global network of partners, inspirational gardens at Kew and Wakehurst, and our 260 years of history.

Join us on our journey as protectors of the world’s plants and fungi. 

This is a varied role where your ability to deliver highly efficient education administration and coordination is as important as the relationships you build up across Kew and externally. You’ll coordinate a number of Continuing Professional Development courses, oversee our British Accreditation Council teaching accreditation, support Kew’s paid internship programme as well as coordinate academic training delivered to a large number of UK and international universities.

Working closely with Kew staff and external partner organisations, you will be adept at managing large and complex administrative portfolios, and able to quickly get up-to-speed with digital resources including online learning platforms. Ideally, you’ll have a background in biodiversity science, and understand the themes of research undertaken at Kew, but it will be your ability to work both collaboratively and flexibly, combined with the skills to cut through complex administrative problems to find innovative and effective solutions, which will be most valuable.

This is a hands-on position where your energy, style of communication and problem-solving skills are just as important as IT literacy, higher education administration experience and scientific knowledge.

Our fantastic benefits package includes opportunities for continuous learning, a generous annual leave entitlement, flexible working to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance, an Employee Assistance Programme and other wellbeing support such as cycle to work scheme and discounted gym membership. We also offer a competitive pension, an employee discount scheme and free entry into a wide range of national museums and galleries, as well access to our own beautiful gardens at Kew and Wakehurst.

The Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) is a think-tank and an experimental laboratory set-up to train a new generation of reporters in the tools of investigative, in-depth, and long-form journalism across all media. Registered as a charity, we robustly defend investigative journalists and those who work with them.

We’re now seeking a highly motivated Project Manager with a clear understanding of the debates and issues surrounding media and journalism, and experience of working on issues relating to the environment or climate change. This is a collaborative role in a senior position and includes budget and line management, and administration. You will work closely with several  regional coordinators to organise training in investigative skills to help uncover and tell the stories relating to climate change.

This is a new post to provide international training, through a network of regional partners, for those working on investigations and research relating to greenhouse gas emissions associated with human activities.

Job title: Project  Manager

Contract type: Full-time fixed-term until 31 January 2024, with the possibility of a short extension should the project require it. 

Starting annual salary: £42k

Direct report: Deputy Director

Start date: As soon as possible

Location: Remote working with very occasional meetings with the team in our London office

Description and Purpose of the post: This is a collaborative role in a senior position and includes budget and line management, and administration. You will work closely with several  regional coordinators to organise training in investigative skills to help uncover and tell the stories relating to climate change.

To support and further the aims of the Centre for Investigative Journalism through delivering:

Scoping the project - under the supervision of the Deputy Director

• Building on the knowledge within the Centre for Investigative Journalism and using existing networks and contacts, the first six months will be taken up producing a comprehensive scoping document consisting of a detailed project plan outlining the delivery of the training, budget and identifying any gaps alongside proposals as to how these can be filled. The project plan will determine the direction of work for the rest of the contract. 
• Through this scoping, we would expect the Project Manager to be able to:

  • Identify the regions and languages for the training

  • Secure collaboration with local partners

  • Recruit regional coordinators

  • Detail the type and level of training required and build a core curriculum around this

  • Determine the level and nature of input required from other team members

  • Identify any subject and region specific training

  • Produce a detailed budget for each of the regions

  • Produce a project plan for delivery of the training

  • Identify risks associated with the project and mitigation strategies for each

  • Identify any additional support that might be needed

  • Determine what support materials are needed

  • Propose how best to engage with audiences and ensure maximum coverage of stories

  • Establish a clear process for evaluating the project

Delivering the project - under the supervision of the Deputy Director

• Once signed-off, the scoping document will determine the role until the end of the contract as the work will be to deliver it.
• You will have the support of other team members for the process of scoping the project. You will also manage any staff that were identified as needed to deliver the project.
• The role is likely to require occasional international travel, although this should be kept to a minimum and the project should rely as much as possible on the regional networks

Essential Criteria:

• Project management experience of 5+ years

• Demonstrable experience of working on a similar project

• Knowledge of environmental/ climate issues

• Experience of working for a charity, NGO or CSO

• Happy to work on own initiative unsupervised

• Experience of managing budgets

• Experience of managing staff

• Created and developed networks

Desirable Criteria:

• A second language

• Assertive and comfortable with speaking in public

• Good network of international contacts

• PRINCE2 or equivalent
