Officer jobs in douglas, douglas
Carers are at the heart of everything we do. That's because unpaid carers are the people holding their communities together. Caring can be rewarding, but far too many carers are facing tough life challenges that can make it hard to keep on going. It could be money worries because they've had to give up work or the sheer exhaustion that can come from caring. Carers, of all ages, including young carers, need much more support. And that's why we're on their side, fighting for the recognition they deserve and delivering the services they need most.
We do this by partnering with our UK-wide network of local organisations, who collectively reached over one million carers last year. We work with our network to deliver the best possible support for carers - both nationally and locally. At a national level we raise funds, influence governments and campaign for change. Then we turn this into what carers really need: small grants, up-to-date information and practical support.
Our ideal candidate:
- Proven experience in project management using Agile and Waterfall approaches, particularly in CRM implementation or similar digital transformation projects.
- Strong understanding of Dynamics / Salesforce CRM systems and their application in a non-profit or charity context.
- Excellent organizational and time management skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively with diverse teams and stakeholders.

This is a permanent position, offered on a full-time or part-time basis (five or four days per week). While primarily home-based, the successful candidate will be required to work on a hybrid basis for the initial months (1-2 times a week in the office in Farnham, Surrey).
Our client manages a portfolio of charitable grants on behalf of a private, anonymous Trust. Their work spans continents and a diverse range of issues, from education and health to humanitarian relief and sustainable development, always with a focus on long-term impact. At the heart of their mission is a commitment to building an equitable, sustainable world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential and live a healthy life. The Trust wishes to remain as anonymous and low-profile as possible to give humbly and keep focus on those who are working to alleviate suffering.
Although high-level executive support is a key component of this role, it is far more than diary management. The Executive Assistant will become a trusted member of our client’s small team, helping to develop and maintain streamlined administrative systems, supporting the setup and oversight of grants, coordinating meetings and hybrid events across different time zones, and liaising with a wide range of stakeholders. From managing expense claims and grant documentation to planning international gatherings and ensuring follow-through on action points, this is a varied and essential role.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience as an Executive Assistant, supporting a CEO and senior management team—ideally within a charity, trust, or foundation. They will bring significant experience in diary management, event coordination, and committee servicing, and be a confident and efficient minute taker. Highly organised, proactive, and adaptable, the post holder will have the ability to plan well, build relationships, and be comfortable in taking the initiative. The new EA will be comfortable using a wide range of digital tools and platforms (including MS Word and Excel, CRM databases, SharePoint, MS Teams, Zoom, and project management applications). They will thrive in a remote-first environment and be confident juggling multiple priorities while working both independently and collaboratively.

If you want to join an impact-driven organisation, improving outcomes for vulnerable children and families then apply today!
Position: Senior Programmes Manager
Location: London/hybrid
Hours: 35 hours full-time, with flexible working considered

The role
The organisation funds the generation of high-quality evidence to improve the lives of vulnerable children and families in England.

The Programmes Team is central to this mission. It is responsible for designing and running funding processes, managing a portfolio of delivery grants, and ensuring that the work supports actionable, robust research. The organisation uses programme funding not only to address evidence gaps but also as a way of raising the standard of research and evaluation across early intervention and children’s social care.
