"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 Digital Fundraising & Communications Officer
This role will be key in sharing Pratham’s impactful work with our supporters. The core of the role is to manage digital content across email, social media, and our website, and play a vital role in supporting fundraising events, particularly our annual gala which will be held at the V&A in November this year and recruiting runners of the London Marathon.
We expect to launch a new website in 2025, a version of the new Pratham USA website that is due to roll out in mid-March. You’ll have an important role in adapting and tailoring it for Pratham UK.
There is potential for some advocacy work but that is secondary to the fundraising and communications elements.
If you’re a proactive communicator who thrives on creativity and is excited by the opportunity to support events and grow with an ambitious organisation, we’d love to hear from you.
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.
We may occasionally facilitate work experience placements for pupils of school age, these will not extend beyond two weeks.
