YOUR RE-ENTRY REPORT
Leanne
Your coordination, communication and education-programme experience can open more than one route
You have evidence of coordinating schedules and communications, creating written and visual materials, and helping secure and deliver an education research programme with a school. That supports a close move into project coordination, plus routes into policy and research, content design, and customer experience. These are possibilities to investigate, not confirmed matches to current vacancies. Your hybrid, team-based and mentoring preferences, £42,000 minimum salary expectation, and preference to avoid overtime need to be tested against the requirements of each route.

Project coordinator
This is the closest meaningful move from your current work. It shifts the focus from general administration toward coordinating project activity and delivery, including work with partners.
Transferable
Research / Programme Support Officer
Your contribution to securing an education research programme and working with a school to deliver it gives you a relevant starting point for supporting research or programme activity. This direction focuses on coordinating and supporting programme work, not on assuming you have independently conducted research or policy analysis.
Transferable
Content / Communications Coordinator
This direction uses your writing and content strengths in a communications-focused role rather than a specialist content design role. You have already created marketing materials and presentations, which gives you relevant examples to build on.

06 · YOUR MARKET EVIDENCE
Where your experience meets today's market.
Your experience is already translating into live roles across Project coordinator, Research / Programme Support Officer, Content / Communications Coordinator. Your Coordination and organisation, Written and visual communication, Customer and stakeholder communication experience gives you evidence to build from.
The main practical challenge is matching a credible entry point with your £42,000 minimum, hybrid preference, mentoring needs and limits on overtime. A plausible transfer into project work does not establish that all those conditions will be available together.

05 · YOUR QUESTION
The question you wanted answered.
You can move beyond general administration into project coordination, policy or research support, content design, or customer experience work. Your strongest evidence is that you coordinated schedules and communications, created marketing materials, and helped secure an education research programme and work with a school to deliver it. Project coordination is the closest step; the other directions use your writing, customer service and coordination strengths in different role families. Since you want teamwork, mentoring and hybrid working, check those conditions role by role. Your £42,000 minimum salary expectation may narrow which opportunities are suitable, and I cannot confirm current vacancies or salary availability from the information provided.

Her administration, coordination, email and content-creation experience maps to the role's communications-process support.

Programme Officer, Operations
ARTICLE 19
£46,900 gross per annum
Full-time, 37.5 hours per week; hybrid in London, office and home-working frequency agreed with the successful candidate. Employer describes flexible working via a 4.5-day week. Overtime expectations: Not stated. Occasional travel may be required.
The employer's application page lists the vacancy and gives a closing date of 10 November 2026, so it is open as of 29 October 2026. Leanne's scheduling, communications, coordination and school programme delivery evidence is relevant. However, budget management across grants, donor financial reporting, financial compliance and improving operational systems are material requirements not demonstrated in her profile. Financial management and grant operations make up a substantial part of the role, so this is a stretch rather than a close match. Hybrid London working is stated; overtime expectations are not stated.
