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. This is a unique chance to play a hands-on role in shaping the future of specialist education, working on meaningful, fast-paced projects that truly make a difference, and we need someone like you to help us bring these exciting projects to life.

If you thrive in a dynamic, fast-moving environment, possibly have a background in property, construction, or estates management, we'd love to hear from you. You'll work closely with our Head of Organic Growth and experienced Project Managers, helping to drive forward a number of high-impact projects across the country.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Spot Opportunities : Assist in sourcing and assessing potential new school sites-supporting viewings, managing contacts, and liaising with property agents.
  • Keep Projects on Track : Create and maintain project timelines, support tendering and compliance documentation, and track budgets and spend.
  • Drive the Details : Coordinate quotations, invoices, and purchase orders, and support the development of robust business cases.
  • 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.

    • Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a bold and ambitious growth journey with a purpose-led organisation.
  • Enjoy variety, autonomy, and the chance to shape new projects from the ground up.
  • Work alongside passionate professionals in a collaborative, forward-thinking team.
  • Develop your career in a fast-growing organisation that values innovation and initiative.

    • Polaris is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All successful applicants will be subject to a DBS check (paid for by Polaris). We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all backgrounds.
