The Polaris Community is one of the UK's largest providers of children's services-and we're growing fast. We're on the lookout for a proactive and motivated Project Coordinator to join our new Projects Team. We're deeply passionate about the schools we build and the projects we deliver-each one is an opportunity to transform the lives of children and young people.

* Be the Connector: Act as the go-to communication hub between internal teams, external contractors, and stakeholders-keeping everyone aligned and moving forward.
* Stay Ahead: Contribute insights on property trends, project delivery innovations, and smarter ways of working.
* Be Hands-On: Attend site visits, support due diligence checks, and help ensure our new schools are built to the highest standards and future ready.
What We're Looking For
* Strong project coordination skills, ideally within property, construction, or facilities-related projects.
* Excellent organisational and time management abilities-nothing slips through the cracks on your watch.
* Experience managing multiple tasks, teams, and deadlines with accuracy and confidence.
* Confident communicator who builds relationships easily and keeps projects moving with clarity and energy.
* Comfortable using project management tools, Microsoft Office, and collaborative systems.
* A can-do, self-starter attitude with a genuine passion for meaningful work that creates better futures for children and young people.
