Project Manager

The Gatsby Charitable Foundation is looking for a highly organised Project Manager to play an integral part in the design and delivery of teacher support.

Location: Manchester (with some hybrid working)

Salary: £58,177 – £62,923 + pension and benefits

Applications close at 9 a.m. Tuesday 26th August.

Who we are

In 1967, David Sainsbury established the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and, over the years, has given Gatsby more than £1 billion to distribute to charitable causes in fields he is passionate about. Gatsby started 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.

About the role

As Project Manager, you will play a pivotal role in projects relating to the implementation of Technical Education Networks (TEN) activity, including work to support teachers and training providers delivering T-Levels.

This is a role for someone with a strong interest in technical education who is highly organised, with a track record of managing projects to successful outcomes. You will be a confident communicator, and will have a broad remit to manage the implementation of projects using an understanding of areas such as curriculum development, professional development for teachers and/or publication processes.

This is an exciting opportunity to support the high-quality delivery of T-Levels and drive innovation in technical education across the country.

Who we are looking for

First and foremost, we are looking for someone with a strong interest in our areas of work, especially supporting the improvement of the nation’s technical education system.

Candidates will have experience in managing projects, including budgeting responsibly, as well as dealing with external contracts or grants to deliver agreed objectives. This role will also be responsible for implementing new processes. Experience in teaching resource development and/or publishing is desirable.

You will have excellent communication skills, a collaborative approach, and the ability to coordinate complex projects with a diverse range of stakeholders.
