We are looking for a Programme Coordinator to help deliver a UK-wide, government-funded programme supporting around 700 university students to build the skills, experience and industry connections needed for careers in the electronics and semiconductor sector.
You’ll be joining a small, high-performing charity working at national scale. This is a hands-on role at the centre of delivery, where you will coordinate students, partners and activities across a complex, fast-moving programme.
This is a hands-on coordination role with real ownership across programme delivery.
You will take ownership of key areas of delivery, solve problems day-to-day, and help ensure the programme runs smoothly at scale. If you are organised, proactive, and want to build towards a Programme Management role while delivering meaningful work, this role will give you that opportunity.
Why this role matters
This programme plays a critical role in addressing the UK’s electronics skills shortage by supporting students from university into industry.
It combines in-person events, industry engagement and digital learning, delivered across multiple universities and partners nationwide.
At this scale, coordination is everything. Done well, it:
- Ensures a high-quality experience for every student
- Enables partners to engage effectively
- Allows a small team to deliver at national scale
This role exists to make that happen.
What you’ll be responsible for
You will play a central role in coordinating delivery across a large, multi-partner programme. Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing student communications, including responding to queries and supporting onboarding and participation
- Acting as a key coordination point between students, universities, industry partners and internal teams
- Supporting the planning and delivery of programme activities, including induction events, residentials, webinars, site visits and industry events
- Coordinating logistics such as registrations, attendance tracking, communications and on-the-day delivery support
- Supporting the recruitment and onboarding of ~400 new students, including application coordination and candidate communications
- Managing day-to-day operations such as programme inboxes, records, tracking and follow-ups
- Working across multiple internal stakeholders to keep delivery aligned, on track and moving forward
- Identifying and resolving routine delivery issues, escalating where needed
You will be trusted to manage your own workload, prioritise effectively, and take ownership of delivering work to a high standard.
What you’ll gain
- Real ownership in delivering a national programme at scale
- A clear pathway to Programme Manager, with hands-on experience across delivery
- Exposure to universities, industry partners and a government-funded initiative
What we’re looking for
We are particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:
- Experience coordinating projects, programmes or events involving multiple stakeholders
- Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities
- Confidence communicating with a range of audiences
- A proactive approach to problem-solving
- The ability to take ownership and follow through
You might have developed this experience in programme coordination, events, operations, education, or similar roles.
You do not need to meet every requirement. If this role excites you, we encourage you to apply.
Please note that UK-wide travel will be a requirement of this role.
