"Pratham's impact on the lives of millions of kids has been tremendous; it is quite simply an exceptional, best-in-class organisation that has managed to scale across India."
2019 Nobel Economics Laureate Abhijit Banerjee
Working for Pratham UK
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 now raise £1.5m a 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.
Current opportunities
Senior Grants Manager
This was previously advertised as Senior Programmes and Partnerships Manager. It is the same role, but the core competency we are looking for is grant fundraising. The title can be negotiated with the successful applicant.
The Senior Grants Manager is a key strategic role focused on securing large grants for Pratham’s flagship Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) program and vocational training work in India, while also supporting Pratham International’s expanding global initiatives.
You will play a vital role in building meaningful relationships with institutional donors, trusts, and foundations across the UK and Europe. With a strong evidence base underpinning our programs and global recognition of Pratham’s impact, this role offers significant scope for both growth and influence.
This role can be full-time or part-time (four days, or in exceptional cases three days per week).
For fundraising roles we adhere to the Non-Grads Welcome campaign and share interview questions in advance.
We are not able to sponsor work permits for any candidates.
Pratham UK does not offer unpaid internships, any paid internships will be advertised on this page.
