Programme Associate - Housing and Homelessness Programme

About Oak
Oak Foundation commits its resources to address issues of global social and environmental concern, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged. With offices in Europe, Africa and North America, Oak Foundation makes grants to organisations located in approximately 40 countries worldwide.

Oak’s head office is based in Geneva, and the Housing and Homelessness Programme regularly contributes to the core functions of the organisation. 

About the Housing and Homelessness Programme
The Oak Foundation’s Housing and Homelessness Programme is a grant-making programme which funds projects across the UK and US.  In additional to national projects, it also funds within the geographic locations prioritised in its current strategy. These locations are London, Bristol, Birmingham, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, New York, Boston and Philadelphia. 

With an annual budget of around USD 30 million, the programme makes 38 new multi-year grants annually; and in addition, maintains strong connections with existing grantee partners, sharing learning and opportunities. The programme is undertaking a strategic review, and underpinning this, is a deep commitment to social justice, racial equity, and strengthening the voices of people with lived experience. All the work we will seek to fund will demonstrate a strong understanding of the experiences of people facing homelessness and evidence that all proposed projects are rooted in the solutions people closest to the problem have identified.   

We know that homelessness and housing problems disproportionately and unfairly affect sections of our community, and so we want to support projects that address this. This includes women; people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities; disabled people; and LGBTQI communities.

About the role
The Housing and Homelessness Programme is currently made up of a programme director, four programme officers and one temporary programme support assistant. The role of Programme Associate is a new position, which will replace the current temporary programme assistant role.  We are looking for a highly organised individual, with the ability to juggle a variety of tasks at the same time.  You will be able to undertake research on housing and homelessness issues to inform our grant-making choices, oversee some of our monitoring and evaluation processes, whilst also providing administrative support such as organising meetings and maintaining our grant-making database.  You will need to be a self-starter with the confidence to work both independently and part of a team.

Please see the attached job description for full details about job responsibilities and requirements. 

Reporting lines
The position will be based in the London office, and you will report to the programme director.  You will work closely with the programme officers, and liaise with the Trustees and President, as required.

This role may require some travel to the cities where we fund, as well as to our head office in Geneva.

Interested candidates should submit a Curriculum Vitae and a compelling covering letter of no more than one page, explaining why you want the role, and addressing the key requirement of the post. Please apply directly through Charity Jobs by 30 May 2021.

Fairtrade Foundation is recruiting an Administrator to support the Programme Partnerships Team.

The post holder will provide excellent support to the Programme Partnerships team (and associated Supply Chain team) with a particular focus on handling the administrative and financial processes associated with active programmes, as well as organising information and data flows from the programmes work. The Foundation is increasingly focused on securing investment to provide programmatic support work with Fairtrade farmers and workers. The investment from grants or finance from commercial partners requires very careful administration to comply both with donor requirements and the Foundation’s own internal audit practice as well as to support learning within the Fairtrade system to improve our performance

The ideal candidate will need to have a very good eye for detail, be highly organised and have a good basic understanding of financial and data processes. We need this person to be comfortable with reporting procedures but it is not essential that you have experience in administering grants.

This role will work closely with colleagues and be supported by an experienced team within Programme Partnerships and Finance so we need good team work experience within an office environment and ability to work independently once shown the job requirements. We need excellent IT skills and ability to support the team with administrative tasks such as inputting information into databases and setting up systems and processes to support grant applications and management. There will be opportunities to learn about programmes work. The busy environment requires excellent organisational and prioritsation skills.

At Fairtrade we are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children & vulnerable adults in our work. We will do everything possible to ensure that only those who are suitable to work within this environment are recruited to work for us. Therefore for this specific role a Basic DBS check will be needed as part of an offer of employment. This will be paid for by the foundation.

The Fairtrade Foundation is an equal opportunities employer, offers flexible working and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

We particularly welcome applications from candidates with ethnically diverse backgrounds, LGBTQ+ candidates and from candidates with disabilities, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to greater results for producers and farmers around the world.

Closing date: 20th May (5pm)

Interviews will take place wc 31 May 2021

Contract: 12 month, fixed term contract
