• Excellent communication and networking skills, able to influence and persuade a wide range of stakeholders and facilitate strong relationships with people inside and outside the charity.
• Someone who is highly organised with evidence of successfully working to deadlines and prioritising tasks.
• Ability to be self-motivated, with a pro-active approach to problem solving.
• Able to display patience, resilience and optimism in the face of periodic pressure.

Benefits of working with us

• A comprehensive, tailored induction to your new role.
• As part of a small, flexible team, you will be able to develop and expand this relatively new role.
• Flexible working arrangements are possible, with many team members split between office and home working.
• Learning and development opportunities to maximise your potential. 
• Ownership of projects and funding applications.
• Working with a range of people from charity staff, volunteers, beneficiaries and funders.

The closing date for applications is 11th August 2022. Interviews will take place in our Romford office.
