Role summary:
UK Community Foundations is looking for a part-time Project Manager to support the team on an interim fixed-term basis of 3 months (commencing as soon as possible).
The main purpose of this role is to lead on our Revitalising Trusts Programme which we run in partnership with the Charity Commission for England and Wales. The Revitalising Trusts Programme aims to ensure that inactive charitable trusts are either revitalised, or their assets are transferred to another charity (in the cases we manage, this is typically to a community foundation).
You will be highly organised, proactive and have excellent attention to detail – a completer-finisher who takes pride in seeing projects through to the end. The ability to build strong relationships with member community foundations and the team at the Charity Commission is crucial to the programme’s success. Legal and charity governance experience is not essential but would be an asset to the role.
The successful Project Manager will be asked to provide support to the wider team on other strategic projects as needed, so we welcome an open and flexible mindset.
The role is very flexible. We are largely a fully remote team (with some desk space available in central London, if preferred). We are open to requests for flexible working patterns, e.g. 2 or 3 days per week, or a few hours each day. This is advertised as a 3-month fixed-term contract but there may be scope to extend the role.
At UK Community Foundations, we value inclusivity, relationships and ambition. We offer generous holiday and benefits, including 30 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays (pro-rated), enhanced pension contributions and flexible working patterns.
This role is available for immediate start.
Responsibilities:
Revitalising trusts and trust transfers
- Lead on the delivery of the Revitalising Trusts Programme
- Work closely with and build strong relationships with the Charity Commission
- Manage the inactive trusts pipeline, ensuring timely progress
- Work through various processes required to transfer trusts and trust funds. This will include navigating charity governance requirements and changing bank mandates
- Ensure clear communications about the programme with all stakeholders as required
- Provide support to trustees in transferring active and inactive trusts to the network, or another charity when more appropriate
Dormant charity accounts
- Liaise with the Charity Commission and relevant banks to progress caseloads, ensuring account transfers happen swiftly and legally
- Lead on distribution of investments to participating community foundations
Wider project management (<10% of the time)
- Provide light-touch support for colleagues leading on other strategic priorities, including an ongoing digital transformation programme
About you:
Skills and experience
- Experience of working with trusts and good knowledge of charity governance
- Strong finance skills and an understanding of charity endowments would be desirable
- A track record of influencing stakeholders, key opinion formers and decision makers
- Excellent organisational and project management skills with the ability to work to tight deadlines and prioritise conflicting tasks
- Legal experience is not essential but would be an asset to the role
- Experience of working with the Charity Commission is not essential but would also be an asset to the role
Personal qualities
- Mature, empathetic, engaging, diplomatic and influential, with the ability to engage with people at all levels, including senior policy/decision makers
- Fast paced, committed, solution focused
- A completer-finisher who takes pride in seeing projects through to the end
- Someone who enjoys complex problem solving
How to apply:
Please apply including your CV and short statement of interest (500 words or less). The closing date is Sunday 18th January 2026.
