We have built a strong team, with a very positive and collaborative culture. Therefore, as well as understanding the CEO’s intent, the key to the role will be working with the team to support each other to achieve the charities aims.

About the UKESF

We are the voice for skills in the Electronics Industry. Through engagement with Schools, Universities and Industry, it is our mission to encourage more young people to study Electronics and to pursue careers in the sector.

The UK has a long heritage of technological innovation and has a world-class Electronics sector with the potential to provide solutions to some of the biggest challenges facing society today. However, the demand for capable, employable Electronics Engineers and designers is currently outstripping supply.

The UKESF works tirelessly to ensure that more schoolchildren can learn about Electronics, in an engaging way, and be aware of the opportunities available. We have a number of programmes and initiatives that help aspiring engineers to develop their interest through to university study, and support that prepares undergraduates for the workplace.

Although we are a micro-organisation, recent funding successes, growing stature and increasing activity mean that we now seek a committed individual to join our team in a senior capacity.
