The role

The Raspberry Pi Foundation aims to ensure that every young person develops the knowledge, skills, and confidence to use computers and digital technologies effectively in their work, community, and personal life – to solve problems and to express themselves creatively. One of the ways in which we achieve this aim is by providing high-quality, research-informed curriculum, resources and training for educators. This work is entering an exciting phase as we extend our educational products and programmes to include AI and expand globally. 

We are looking for a dynamic individual to join the Online Learning Products team as Programme Coordinator.

You will need to be highly organised and capable of managing projects and business processes. You will also work closely with our impact and evaluation team to ensure that we have the data we need to demonstrate our reach and impact, including managing our user database through Salesforce. 

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who will relish a diverse role at the forefront of the movement to broaden access to computing education. 

We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the job, we’ll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you’ll be working with an exceptional team.

About us

The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a UK-based educational charity with the mission to enable young people to realise their full potential through the power of computing and digital technologies.

Established in 2008 and first known for our product — the wildly successful Raspberry Pi computer — the Foundation has developed education programmes, learning experiences, and products that are helping millions of young people learn vital new knowledge and skills

Through Code Club and CoderDojo, we support the world’s largest network of free informal computing clubs for young people. Tens of thousands of educators have taken our online courses, and millions of people use our free online learning resources. To deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and how to create with digital technologies, we conduct academic research, and we use that knowledge to increase the impact of our work and advance the field of computing education.

Across all of our work, we work hard to engage young people who come from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the field of computing or who experience educational disadvantage. We work all over the world, with teams based in the UK, Ireland, North America, and India, and partnerships with mission-aligned organisations in over 40 countries.

We are at the forefront of the global movement to help young people learn about computing and digital making. You can read more about our mission, values, and goals in our Annual Review 2021 and our Strategy 2022–2025 .
