Pratham is one of the largest and most respected education charities in India. We developed a model that can teach a child to read and do basic maths in as little as 30 days for £14. We also have preschool, vocational and women's education programmes. 

We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth, having tripled in size in three years. We expect to raise £1.8m this year and are ambitious to at least triple again. 

While you will work in a small, fully remote team daily, you will be part of the global Pratham network. The team in India has over 6,000 staff, and they raise $28m locally. Pratham USA has 14 chapters and produces around 12 galas annually, contributing to its $30m income. We have recently launched Pratham International, and we will work with them to reach more children worldwide in the years ahead.

This role will be key in sharing Pratham’s impactful work with our supporters. The core of the role is to manage digital content across email, social media, and our website, and play a vital role in supporting fundraising events, particularly our annual gala which will be held at the V&A in November this year and recruiting runners of the London Marathon.

We expect to launch a new website in 2025, a version of the new Pratham USA website that is due to roll out in mid-March. You’ll have an important role in adapting and tailoring it for Pratham UK.

There is potential for some advocacy work but that is secondary to the fundraising and communications elements.

If you’re a proactive communicator who thrives on creativity and is excited by the opportunity to support events and grow with an ambitious organisation, we’d love to hear from you.

A brilliant opportunity to lead a small charity delivering impact where it matters for people with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions.

Use your business leadership skills to nurture the spiritual growth, personal development & social responsibility of children & young people.

About us

We are a provider of creative digital content for Catholic schools throughout England and Wales, with an ambition to expand our work into new areas. We use story - drama, narration, personal testimony - to speak to the hearts and minds of children and young people about the issues that most matter to them and most impact their lives. Presented through a Catholic lens, our programmes help pupils to navigate the complexities they experience growing up.

Our vision is a world where children and young people, alongside their teachers and parents, discover ‘life to the full’. Our mission is to nurture spiritual growth, personal development and social responsibility by sharing inspiring creative content through a Catholic lens. And our values flow from respect for the innate dignity and worth of every person, made in God’s image. 

The Role

We now seek a Director of Business and Finance to join our small Senior Leadership Team and provide business leadership to the next phase of our growth. We are fortunate to have a strong business model that is underpinned by a team of 12 fantastically talented staff. Your role will be to ensure that organisational decision-making and growth is guided by strong financial thinking, principles and planning, and strategic discipline.

The Person 

You will bring business leadership experience in an organisation at least of similar size and complexity, ideally in a growth context. You'll enjoy working in a rigorous but vibrant, creative culture, and will have a clear and demonstrable appreciation for the Christian and/or Catholic tradition and what it offers. This will lead to a passion for bringing the depth and richness of the Catholic vision to our culture and for helping children, young people, teachers and parents discover how to 'live life to the full'.
