Education Coordinator Maternity Cover
Job Description | October 2025

About UJIA

UJIA is dedicated to ensuring that young Jewish
people in the UK forge a personal relationship with
Israel, so that they have a strong sense of belonging
to the Jewish people.

Our work is organised into three pillars:

1. Empowering Young People

educational settings that are instrumental in
strengthening a relationship with Israel.

Beyond initial connection, we emphasise the
importance of expressing and deepening this bond
with Israel through support for initiatives aimed at
combating inequality and enhancing social mobility
within Israel’s most disadvantaged communities. Our
efforts ensure that young people and their families in
the UK are not only connected to Israel but are also
active participants in its progress and development.

2. Experiencing Israel

7th October and Deepening Israel Connections

3. Deepening Israel Connections

We are dedicated to empowering young Jews
by removing barriers to help them form strong
connections with Israel and by cultivating future
leaders who can inspire their peers. We do this
through developing a thriving informal Jewish
education sector with the Youth Movements and
the Union of Jewish Students.

We have decades of experience in sending
young Jews in the UK to Israel on rite of passage
programmes, such as Israel Tour, Gap Years and
Birthright Israel. These Israel experiences offer
firsthand encounters, peer connections, and

UJIA’s day-to-day work in Israel radically changed
after 7th October, even as we continued with our
existing work. Our team in Israel immediately
addressed the urgent financial needs of survivors
and then began supporting thousands of evacuated
families with food and hygiene supplies. UJIA
worked with local partners to establish temporary
daycare facilities, pop-up schools, and playrooms for
thousands of evacuees. All of this is in addition to the
thousands of hours of trauma therapy our support
has made possible for those who experienced the
atrocities of 7th October.

Now our work has shifted to helping communities in
the South recover and rebuild, and helping the tens
of thousands of men, women and children from
Israel’s northern border who are still evacuated from
their homes. This work is all on top of our regular,
ongoing work with partners across Israel that are
working with Israel’s most vulnerable every day.
