Our business is growing. We’re looking for a passionate and innovative team player to help us provide expert impact support to clients across England. You’ll need to be a confident facilitator attuned to the needs of the sector, identifying emerging themes and areas of support.
You will have a versatile style and be comfortable working closely with a wide range of stakeholders. At times you’ll need to influence and negotiate at different levels.

Whatever your previous experience we don’t expect you to tick every box. We want to support your learning so you can develop in the role.
You will join our interdisciplinary team of consultants helping shape the future and empower charities to thrive. As well as being motivated by creating change for our clients through consultancy, mentoring, and training, you will also need to be energised by hitting targets on utilisation and income.
