Are you passionate about improving technical education? Gatsby Charitable Foundation is looking for a highly organised Project Officer to play an integral part in its programme delivery, with a particular focus on T Level industry placements.
Location: Manchester (On-site Tuesday-Thursday)
Applications close at 9 a.m. Friday 12th December.
Who we are
In 1967, David Sainsbury wrote out a cheque for five pounds to establish the Gatsby Charitable Foundation. Lord Sainsbury has since given Gatsby more than £1 billion to distribute to charitable causes in fields he is passionate about, including neuroscience, plant science, development in East Africa and public policy.
Gatsby established a small team focused on education policy in England almost 40 years ago. The team’s priorities have typically mirrored and sought to address the policy challenges of the times, from addressing the uptake of engineering degrees in the 1980s to our commitment to the improvement of the nation’s technical education and career guidance systems today. While priorities have changed and evolved, our approach has been consistent: we aim to be more than a funder. We act as an enabler for projects, working with partners in designing, developing, and, in some cases, delivering activities. We take a long-term view as we do not think much can be achieved by short, one-off projects.
We believe that a strong technical education system can open up good career opportunities for young people and adults, as well as drive greater national productivity and economic competitiveness. That is why our current work is focused on supporting the implementation of technical education reforms and the embedding of a stable career guidance system in England.
About the role
Gatsby is seeking a proactive and curious Project Officer to support the delivery of work that strengthens T Level implementation and expands high-quality industry placements across England. Working in the Industry Placement Team, you will help manage grants and contracts, coordinate employer-facing projects, organise events and networks, and capture insights and outputs to inform future activity. You will contribute to developing training and support for industry placement coordinators, produce case studies and blog content, and build relationships with providers, employers and sector partners.
This role works across several T Level subject areas. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with experience in or adjacent to further education, strong organisational and communication skills, and an enthusiasm for supporting technical education.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Friday 12th December.

We work with some of society’s most vulnerable children and young people, including those facing mental health challenges, trauma, special educational needs, disability and neurodivergence. Many cannot access school because there is no suitable place for their needs, or because school is not safe for them. Their families fight every day to get the help their children need, often while facing housing insecurity, exhaustion and systems that can feel indifferent or overwhelming.

You will:
- Lead with courage, curiosity and care, empowering staff, volunteers and partners to deliver excellence.
- Shape and deliver a bold, forward-looking strategy that strengthens impact and secures financial sustainability.
- Be a visible and credible ambassador for Love Squared, helping to build our national profile and champion our values.

- Build strong partnerships with funders, commissioners and collaborators across the statutory and voluntary sectors.
About you
You will bring:
- Proven senior leadership experience in a values-driven organisation, ideally within charity, education or social care.
- Strong strategic, operational and financial skills, with the ability to lead through change and growth.
- A collaborative leadership style that inspires trust and brings out the best in others.
- A genuine commitment to inclusion, safeguarding and trauma-informed practice.
- Imagination to see opportunities where others see obstacles and resilience to lead with warmth through uncertainty.

About us
Remember A Charity
Remember A Charity is a vibrant behaviour change campaign that aims to inspire the public to leave a charitable gift in their Will. Working collaboratively, the campaign’s mission is to do what no organisation can do alone, growing the legacy market and normalising charitable gifts in Wills.
Why grow legacy giving? Charitable gifts in Wills are one of the largest sources of voluntary income in the UK, raising £4.5 billion for good causes each year. As such, it’s a crucial source of income for thousands of charities, particularly in the current economic climate.
Established in 2000, Remember A Charity now represents almost 200 member charities, who work together to drive change through inspiring consumer campaigns, strategic partnerships with solicitors, Will-writers and professional advisers, and by lobbying government to enhance the wider legacy giving environment. The consortium encompasses a diverse range of charities, giving them the platform, resources and guidance to maximise their legacy fundraising. Remember A Charity works all year round to promote legacy giving, also running Remember A Charity Week each September as a central focal point for public awareness activity.
Our four key strategic pillars are:
- Inspiring the UK public to leave a charitable legacy
- Embedding legacy giving across Will-writing and estate planning
- Influencing government & decision-makers to protect and nurture the future of charitable legacies
- Equipping & enabling our members to maximise their legacy fundraising
Remember A Charity is part of the Chartered Institute of Fundraising and our goals align with its strategic priority of growing charitable giving.
Chartered Institute of Fundraising (CIOF)
The Chartered Institute of Fundraising is the UK's professional membership body for fundraisers, championing excellence, providing professional development and education, and fostering connections across the sector. We've launched a new ten-year strategy to tackle critical challenges like diminishing income, increasing demand for services, and issues such as fundraiser burnout and lack of investment that are impacting charities nationwide. We believe that every fundraiser should feel valued and nurtured.
This strategy focuses on four key pillars with clear five and ten-year targets: attracting, retaining, and nurturing fundraising talent to combat the "revolving door"; reframing the narrative to change perceptions of fundraising and drive investment; driving excellent fundraising practice, setting standards, ethics and guidance to build public trust; and fostering a culture that inspires more people to give to reverse declining donor numbers. Our ultimate aim is to double our impact in a decade, ensuring a sustainable future for both fundraisers and charities.
