About You

You must be passionate about making a difference in people’s lives! You will have demonstrable experience of being successful in programme funding roles and have risen through the ranks working in programmes, fundraising, or MEAL roles.

You will bring significant experience of leading design processes to develop new projects or programmes. You will have a strong track record of preparing and submitting successful proposals to institutional donors including development of tools such as theory of change, log-frames, budgets, concept notes and full proposals. You will ideally have experience of working in an international NGO and of developing and sustaining external partnerships and networks.

You will have an eye for detail, enjoy analysis and problem solving, and have excellent interpersonal skills. You will have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, as well as be confident at public speaking and workshop facilitation. You will also be a strategic thinker able to think out of the box.

You will have a “going the extra mile” attitude and will be ready to challenge and be challenged. Good sense of humour always a bonus.

You will have a good understanding of impact measurement and have a strong commitment to working within a safeguarding framework. You must have a passion for diversity and inclusion with an understanding of equal rights and equal opportunities.

What we Offer

• Fair and competitive pay rates within the sector
• A generous employer contribution to a company pension scheme with additional life cover
