We're FIRST UK, a EdTech charity using robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive – empowering young people with the technical knowledge and soft skills to engineer better futures.
It’s an exciting time to join us as we move from startup into scaling mode. We’re backed by some of the world’s leading tech-enabled businesses including Arm, Purposeful Ventures, Smiths Group, Bloomberg, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and many more.
In summer 2026 we’ll publish a new 5-year strategy articulating how we will build more than robots in schools and community groups nationwide, alongside growing our annual income to £2m by 2027.
It’s easy to see why competitions like this really do help students develop the skills they’re going to need for the rest of their lives. Honestly, I wish I had something like this when I was at school.

What we're looking for
A fundraiser, partnerships guru, and consummate relationship builder. Someone who can support the CEO to identify, go after, and convert opportunities which sustain and scale the charity’s impact. Broadly this means more money and greater participation. Through your ability to seek out and support the relationships which matter most you will ensure the charity secures:
- Income generating relationships with trusts, foundations, and philanthropists
- Corporate partnerships fuelling our programmes with funding and volunteers
- Collaborations with organisations supporting outreach and growth
- An ecosystem of proactive trustees, advisors, ambassadors and advocates
Working closely with the CEO you’ll get the charity in front of the right people, having the right conversations which grow investment and participation. Your tenacity will help build and steward a network to achieve our mission better and sooner.
Who this might suit
A people person. You love seeking out and building relationships, then maximising their impact. You might have worked in a charity fundraising position before. You understand what good looks like in terms of brokering strong partnerships – and relish the mix of research, prospecting, proposal development, pitching, and importantly onward stewardship of the relationships we win to ensure we amplify, leverage and retain them.
Whatever your background – the common, transferable skill set is being excellent at relationships. Understanding that it’s not just about the chat, it’s about the follow through. You do what you say you will – and do it well.
The experience you'll have
- Evidence of winning income (e.g corporate partnerships, sponsorship, grants etc)
- Evidence of driving growth (this might be in sales, membership, users, income etc)
- Experience stewarding relationships (partners, funders, trustees, volunteers, stakeholders)
You might also possess
- Passion for STEM, tech for good, inclusion
What you'll get
Responsibility, autonomy, sense of purpose. You’ll be working in a small organisation which is lean, agile and fast-paced. Unimpeded by hierarchy and bureaucracy you’ll have the freedom to experiment, fail fast and crack on. You’ll be presenting a compelling case for support against a validated impact model. Long before pandemics we were working flexibly and remotely – it’s embedded to our culture.

The Fawcett Society is the UK’s leading feminist campaigning charity. Our vision is a feminist future where every woman and girl has the power to make her own choices and thrive.
We are recruiting a Community Builder to strengthen and grow our grassroots feminist movement. This role will support Fawcett’s Local Groups, develop clear and inclusive pathways for people to get involved, and help connect local activism with national campaigns and policy change.
This is a role for someone who believes power should be shared, not hoarded — and who is motivated by building feminist power beyond any single organisation.
About the role
Local Groups are the foundation of Fawcett’s movement. Our Local Groups campaign on local issues affecting women in their locality, and create national campaigns and policy drives based on the lived experience of their local group.
We want to do more to bring these groups together, to strengthen our support of these groups, to pull together the voices and campaigns into national policy priorities, and ensure that every member of a local group feels connected to the national movement.
This is where this new role comes in.
The Community Builder will help people set up new groups, and ensure our groups are well supported, informed, and connected, while also exploring new ways for people to organise together, including thematic and digital communities.
Alongside relationship-building, the role carries responsibility for ensuring community activity is underpinned by clear processes, agreements, and risk management, so that grassroots organising is safe and sustainable.
This is a manager-level role, working with autonomy and initiative, with scope to grow into line management in future.
What you will do
- Support and strengthen Fawcett’s local groups, building trusted relationships with activists and group leaders.
- Create clear, accessible pathways for people to set up new groups, join existing ones, or engage in other forms of feminist activism.
- Connect and embed grassroots insights and lived experience with Fawcett’s national campaigns and policy work.
- Support activists to grow their skills, confidence, and leadership in inclusive and democratic ways.
- Develop and maintain processes, agreements, and protocols that support safe, compliant, and sustainable community organising.
- Explore and assess new models and tools for feminist community-building, including digital approaches.
- Collaborate across campaigns, communications, and membership to strengthen Fawcett’s overall impact.
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to have done this exact job before.
We’re interested in people who bring:
- Experience of grassroots organising, community-building, or supporting volunteer networks (paid or unpaid).
- A strong commitment to intersectional, anti-racist feminist practice.
- An understanding of activism and how to amplify lived experience in national policy and campaigning.
- A collaborative approach to leadership and decision-making.
- Confidence working with ambiguity and helping shape new approaches where no template exists.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust across diverse communities.
- Awareness of risk, safeguarding, or compliance considerations in grassroots or volunteer activity.
- Curiosity about digital tools and inclusive ways of organising.
Encouragement to apply
We know that women and people from marginalised backgrounds are less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every single criterion listed. If this role excites you and you feel you could do it well, we strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements.
We care about values, potential, and how you approach your work, not just whether your experience matches the role line-by-line.
Inclusion and adjustments
We are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. You do not need to disclose a disability to request adjustments.
Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential
