So that these organisations are better able to develop, engage with others, and do what they want to do, better. We are a group of ethical and values-driven practitioners with expertise in civil society strengthening. Through our staff and global network we provide consultancy services, training and practical resources to support civil society actors in different ways.
We are particularly focused on organisational change and strengthening and providing support to strategy development, evidencing impact, and capturing, and responding to, learning. We work with organisations, movements and networks, and to strengthen the enabling environment for civil society. Our ambitious new strategy focuses on strengthening civil society ecosystems, rooted in local culture, methods, practices and knowledge bases, and connected to global learning and debate to enable further sense-making and collective action to change how civil society is supported.

You will work on a range of activities, such as organising and supporting online learning sessions, meetings or focus groups, coordinating feedback, communicating with team members and clients, administrative tasks, to support the smooth running and success of our work.
You will have an eye for detail, experience providing administrative and coordination support to complex projects and will be comfortable carrying out a number of tasks with competing deadlines at the same time.
