As leading charity recruitment specialists and a certified B Corp™, Harris Hill is committed to high and ever-improving standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and other protected characteristics.

This job is all about working with the local third and public sector to engage with local people to create change. To make this happen, the role has three key bits to it:

• listening to what local people want (gathering the insights);
• building a vision for a ‘better way of doing things’ (planning to make change); and
• getting stuck into supporting our clients and wider team to make things happen (doing the stuff we’ve planned).

Each day you’ll be shaping and delivering Capacity’s current and future projects, managing expectations, excitement, and priorities - keeping a smile on your face and a spring in your step. Even on the busiest of days, our Designers and Doers remind themselves why they’re in it, finding the get-up and go to make public services, people services.

Alongside delivery, you’ll contribute to business development, client relationships, and the continued evolution of our Homes and Missions model.

The to-do lists you write and the skillsets you engage will vary hugely, one day you might be working on recruitment strategies for social workers, the next on service design for family early help, and another strategy planning for a primary care team. When job descriptions say ‘no day is the same’ that can often feel twee, at Capacity - it’s a promise.

You’ll spend your time being proactive - delivering on our promises to clients and local people, whilst staying ready to catch any ‘off-project’ work that might need sorting along the way. You’ll support us to get new clients on board but also play a key role in further engaging our existing ones, making sure they continue to feel connected to Capacity and proud to be involved in the work we’re doing.

The projects we deliver are often complex, and things won’t always work out. For that reason, you’ll be open and honest about what’s working, what isn’t and where you might need extra support. If you’re considering this role it’s really important you aren’t afraid of making mistakes or asking for help.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team in a role that sits at the heart of everything we do, providing hands-on, high-quality and proactive support across communications, events and operations for the Capacity Group.

You’ll spend your time making things happen. The to-do lists you’ll write and the skillsets you engage will vary greatly. Whether it’s coordinating one of our events, scheduling social media content, keeping our CRM system up-to-date or planning a brilliant staff social for the team, you’ll be the kind of person who spots what needs doing and gets on with it.

We’re looking for someone with a genuine can-do attitude, a team player who thrives on variety, keeps calm under pressure, and relishes completing tasks to a high standard while meeting deadlines. You’ll muck in wherever you’re needed, bringing organisational nous and a spring in your step even on the busiest of days.

Our ideal candidate will be a people person, happy to get stuck in, confident building relationships across the team and with external partners, and excited by the idea that no two days will look the same – because at Capacity, they won’t.

It’s a role with variety and scope to develop as Capacity grows, ideal for someone who wants to grow alongside us.
