Engineers Without Borders UK is looking for an enthusiastic individual to support our Learning Portfolio and assist in the delivery of our Learning Portfolio programmes.

The role holder will be based in the EWB-UK office in London, reporting to the Head of Learning, Research & Innovation and supporting the work of our volunteer programme leaders.
