We’re passionate about improving the lives of young Londoners. We believe every one of them should benefit from a good school place, opportunities to thrive in safe and welcoming communities and a chance to have a say and contribute to London’s future. 

The London Curriculum is a successful way of providing London’s teachers and pupils access to the capital’s cultural and historic resources in and outside the classroom.  The London Curriculum has helped three out of five of London’s secondary schools and nearly a quarter of London primary schools by providing free teaching resources at key stages 2 and 3 that help bring the national curriculum to life. The key priority over the next year is for the London Curriculum to be used by more schools.

The London Curriculum team also leads on a range of specific initiatives to promote the take-up of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) subjects and careers, including the Mayor’s London Scientist programme and a new Gender Action Award to champion gender equality in childhood.

The Senior Projects Officer will need to support an effective communication strategy to help us achieve our long-term aim of every school accessing the London Curriculum. They will also work with the London Curriculum Project Manager to develop a STEM strategy to sustain and evolve activity, including the Mayor’s London Scientist programme.  

The ideal candidate will have a detailed knowledge and an excellent understanding of the issues relating to the STEM landscape in London, as well as subject knowledge in schools and the wider education agenda at a national and regional level. Enthusiasm to work for the benefit of all young Londoners, particularly the most disadvantaged, is a must.
