Project Coordinator Jobs

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone with a killer eye for detail, a can-do approach, and a healthy dose of get-up-and-go. You’re savvy and clued up about how the latest digital tools can help you with the day-to-day, and love figuring out how stuff works. You're someone who takes pride in doing things quickly and to a high-standard, and can work well as part of a busy team. You're also extremely personable and a creative problem-solver, ready to patiently meet people where they are while guiding them through a brand-new LMS and way of working. You're proactive, take pride in a well-oiled machine, and are passionate about supporting people to make the most of the opportunities available to them. 

Role Purpose  

Foyers are transformational living and learning environments for young people who can’t live at home, where they can realise their power and purpose. However, access to high quality learning opportunities and progression routes can be sparse, and funding for learning in Foyers has been significantly reduced. Our vision is to build a creative learning and development environment that is shaped by the Foyer community and is accessible to any young person in a Foyer.

Our Advantaged Thinking Learning Community (ATLC) framework and digital Learning Management System (LMS) will provide an environment for young people to thrive, with space for collaboration, learning and personal development in a supportive community they can help to build. We are co-creating a bank of accessible and engaging learning materials, embracing existing learning programmes in Foyers while stimulating new approaches by creating a ‘living curriculum’ that remains relevant to people’s aspirations. 

In spring 2025, we will be launching the ATLC across our network of youth Foyers, adding to our existing offer of programmes, training and events. We're looking for a passionate Digital Learning and Projects Coordinator to nurture the LMS, coordinate our network activities, and help us grow a national community of learners.

Founded in 1951, the Refugee Council exists to support people who come to the UK in need of safety and speak out for compassion, fairness and kindness. We achieve this by providing expert advice and casework, building the capacity of refugee community organisations, and working with allies across society to change government policy.

Refugees into Jobs (RiJ) Service

People who are recognised as refugees in the UK face a number of obstacles on their way to full inclusion into the British society. One of the main one is the ability to access meaningful employment. This is where Refugees into Jobs Service comes in. It was founded in 1995 as an independent charity, and merged with Refugee Council in 2011. Ever since it has been helping hundreds of refugees every year to fulfil their dream and find work that has meaning and helps them feel even more included into their new country.

Refugee Council has an ambitious goal that by 2033, 60% of refugees entering the UK will be able to access meaningful employment within 5 years of gaining the right to work. What constitutes “meaningful” is defined by each individual client.
