INTERVIEWS: W/c 8th Feb 2021

The purpose of the role is to provide day-to-day support to the FICS programme teams and to coordinate projects across our field-building, policy and communications, and grantmaking functions. 

About FICS

FICS’ vision is a world in which people – both collectively and as individuals – have the power to hold their leaders accountable and shape their government, economy and society towards justice, equality and fairness for all.

In order to achieve that goal, FICS defends and expands civic space – the physical, digital, and legal conditions through which progressive movements and their allies organise, participate, and create change. We do this through:

• Thought-leadership: FICS forecasts the trends that shape the future of civic space to ensure that progressive organisations and donors are ahead of the curve, and identify strategic opportunities to disrupt and reform the drivers of closing civic space.
• Building a donor ecosystem: FICS builds support from a community of donors and donor networks in alignment with its analysis, creating a community of learning and practice around what works to defend and expand civic space.
• Incubation: FICS hosts new civic space initiatives to enable donors to mobilise resources collaboratively and at scale around key opportunities to disrupt and transform the drivers of closing civic space. Through these new initiatives FICS will offer civic actors not only grants but support with field-building, technical assistance and building alliances across sectors and movements.

FICS was established in 2016 as a donor affinity group supported by a secretariat of two. We are now entering a period of growth, more than doubling our staff team during 2021 to deliver ambitious new grant-making and research programmes that will enable funders and civil society to collaborate around the systemic issues that drive closing civic space.

The Programme Coordinator sits at the heart of this growth. Highly organised, inquisitive and adaptable, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work across a range of projects and issues. Coordination and administration will remain core to the role but, as the team grows, there may be opportunities for the post holder to deepen expertise in one or more specialist subject area.

Job Description

Primary responsibilities include:

Coordination and administration

• Planning, managing and monitoring a range of projects, in collaboration with the wider FICS team.
• Coordinating meetings, events, and webinars – liaising with participants and speakers, researching venues and catering.

• Providing financial administration for FICS, including entering data into accounting software, producing reports, drafting and monitoring consultant contracts.
• Providing scheduling support to the FICS team, organising travel and accommodation, contributing to risk assessments, maintaining records.

Grant-making support

• Providing grants administration to FICS, coordinating calls for proposals, responding to enquiries, ensuring compliance with Global Dialogue’s grant-making procedures, producing reports.
• Attending conferences and meetings to help gather intelligence about closing civic space and grant-making practice.

Knowledge management and communications

• Supporting internal knowledge management, both online and offline.
• Supporting FICS’ external communications, liaising with editors and designers to ensure timely and high-quality publications, updating the website, helping to moderate and drafting content for relevant online communities.
• Working collaboratively with other members of the FICS team to identify and assess opportunities to build FICS’ programming and strengthen its impact.
• Assisting with background research and the preparation of relevant reports, briefings, and presentations, to inform the strategic initiatives, fundraising and stakeholder management.
• Other duties commensurate with the role.

Proper Job is a successful, community-led environmental charity, located in the small, Dartmoor town of Chagford in West Devon. It’s a locally rooted response to a global issue; that of wasted resources and the profound disconnect between what we buy and what we throw away. It aims to reclaim and retain these wasted resources on behalf of its community, challenging and changing perceptions in the process. By doing so, it also demonstrates to the world the level of change thats possible to effect from a grassroots level.

Proper Job has three arms: a community reuse centre on the edge of the town that takes people’s unwanted items for reuse, composting and recycling (The Resource Centre), and another that’s a second- hand clothes and homeware boutique shop in the centre of town, that sells the best seasonal items donated to the centre (Uptown). The third arm is a programme of in-person and online educational outreach work in line with Proper Job’s charitable objectives. As such, they address the way we live in the world and the value we place on its resources, and seek to define a better, healthier future for people and planet.
