Help us create a thriving network of rural community businesses across the UK.

Role: Project Manager
Starting salary: £28,000 to £32,000 per annum
Contract: Full time, temporary post (maternity cover)
Location: Woodstock, Oxfordshire

Plunkett Foundation helps rural communities to tackle the issues they face, through promoting and supporting community business. Community businesses are enterprises that are owned and run democratically by members of the community and others, on behalf of the community. They come in many forms, including shops, pubs, woodlands and anything which lends itself to community ownership. In addition to developing and safeguarding valuable assets and services, community businesses address a range of issues including isolation, loneliness, wellbeing, work and training.

Plunkett Foundation is pleased to announce an exciting opportunity to join a national charity and be part of bringing positive change to rural communities across the UK. This Project Manager role will oversee the delivery of one of our major projects that works to inspire rural communities to explore the community business model as a tool to reverse the decline of rural services. As well as providing core services, community businesses bring a wealth of benefits such as training and employment opportunities, enhancing wellbeing as well as tackling issues such as loneliness, poverty and social isolation.

We are looking for a candidate that will bring a wealth of communications, marketing and events experience to the role and, in our Centenary, help us reach more rural communities than ever before.

Closing date for applications: 9am on Monday, 4th February 2019
Interview date: Interviews will be held on a date to be confirmed during the week commencing 18th February 2019 at the Plunkett Foundation’s offices in Oxfordshire.
