About us 
The Jon Egging Trust (‘JET’) is a dynamic and innovative youth engagement charity. Last year we helped improve the life-chances of over 10,000 young people.

The Trust was set up in honour of Flt Lt Jon Egging, who lost his life following a display at the Bournemouth Air Festival in 2011. He was coming to the end of his first year with the world-famous Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team ‘The Red Arrows’ flying in the position of Red 4. The Jon Egging Trust realises Jon’s dream of inspiring young people through his love of aviation, teamwork and leadership, helping them to overcome adversity, identify their strengths and work towards their ambitions.

We are proud to work with 24 military organisations: including 17 Royal Air Force, 2 Royal Navy, 2 Army and 2 Ministry of Defence, as well as 22 civilian partners UK wide.  We have over 500 military volunteers (both serving personnel and veterans) and 100 corporate volunteers who work alongside us to deliver our bespoke and intensive educational programmes.

JET currently operates in 15 counties across the UK, divided into South, Central and North.

JET Youth Programmes 
JET offers two youth engagement initiatives: Blue Skies and Inspirational Outreach, in conjunction with our partners from the worlds of aviation and STEM.  

Blue Skies (BS) is an intensive, targeted, early intervention programme offered through two delivery routes: Blue Skies Three-year syllabus and Blue Skies Inspire Packages. Working in partnership with a particular school in each region alongside our military and civilian partners, we provide a set and standardised curriculum for young people from 10+ years old, based on the core values of Teamwork, Leadership and Inspiration. Schools can choose between our flagship three-year syllabus, and a bespoke series of sessions over a shorter timeframe, depending on their specific learning objectives and the needs of the young people. 487 young people graduated on BS programmes in the academic year 2017/18. 

Inspirational Outreach (IO) provides bespoke impact days or a short series of sessions for children and young people from key stage 2 through to school leavers according to the needs specified by schools.  9658 young people participated in IO sessions in the academic year 2017/18.

The Partnerships & Philanthropy Team has seen significant growth over the last few years, built around strong partnerships with major funders.  We have ambitions to increase income to £9m+ a year. 

The Senior Trusts & Foundations Officer will play a vital role in supporting this ambition, and in helping Practical Action achieve its wider goals. You will have a strong aptitude and proven success in winning new business and subsequently developing and managing a portfolio of donors and prospects capable of making five, six and, potentially, seven figure grants.  These donors and prospects are sophisticated grant-makers and major donors, drawn from the UK, Europe and the US, giving large, multi-year grants to complex projects and campaigns.
