Job Specification : Junior Project Manager – Grant Funding

We are a social enterprise that delivers ethical, overseas educational programmes for school and university students. We’re passionate about empowering young people to become global citizens through immersive travel that supports community development in low-income countries. All our programmes are carbon neutral and contribute directly to our charity, the FutureSense Foundation. Our trips are not holidays – they are purpose‑driven journeys that change lives for the students who gain confidence, leadership skills and global awareness, and for the communities we partner with, who benefit from long‑term support.

Through our Further Education (FE) team we work with a wide range of schools and colleges to assist them with accessing funding for their students to undertake short term overseas educational programmes. We provide full support throughout the application process and ongoing project management, ensuring students benefit from impactful and accessible global learning experiences.

Role Summary

We are looking for a proactive and detail‑oriented Junior Project Manager to join our FE team remotely. This individual will work closely with the UK‑based Senior Project Manager to support the delivery of Government‑funded education projects. The role includes project coordination, partner communication, administrative support, reporting, and monitoring and evaluation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Stay informed on public funding opportunities and support research into new streams
  • Team & Operational Support

  • Maintain internal systems and documentation to support team operations
  • Provide ad hoc support to the wider team as needed
  • Requirements

    Essential Skills & Experience

  • Previous experience in a project coordination or administrative support role
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills (fluent English required)
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office (particularly Excel and Word) and online collaboration tools
  • Comfortable working independently in a remote role and taking initiative
  • Strong attention to detail and a proactive, solution‑focused mindset
  • Desirable Skills & Experience

  • Experience with government‑funded projects (e.g., UK’s Turing Scheme or similar)
  • Knowledge of monitoring and evaluation practices
  • Familiarity with education or non‑profit sectors
  • Experience using CRMs or project management platforms (e.g. Airtable, Trello, Asana)
  • Personal Attributes

  • Passion for education, global citizenship, and youth development
  • Reliable, self‑motivated, and results‑oriented
  • Able to work effectively across time zones and communicate clearly with UK‑based teams
