From local and national support services to green spaces, sports clubs, museums and the arts, voluntary organisations and volunteers are a vital part of communities across the country. As the membership community for charities and voluntary organisations, NCVO has championed volunteers and the voluntary sector for over a hundred years.
Our members are operating in uncertain and changing times. Yet when times are tough the charity sector has proven time and again its ability to innovate, provide vital work and exceed expectations in supporting the most vulnerable in our society. We walk alongside charities, providing support as they transform how they work. We are looking for someone who can support charities to be more impactful by strengthening their impact planning and evaluation practices.
At NCVO we run our consultancy and training services as a social business. We provide cost effective and high-quality support focused on the areas which matter most to charities. Our work generates income and valuable insights to support NCVO in achieving our mission.
Our business is growing, and we are looking for a passionate and innovative team player to help us provide expert impact support to clients across England. You need to be a confident facilitator attuned to the needs of the sector, identifying emerging themes and areas of support. You would have a versatile style meaning you are comfortable working closely with a wide range of stakeholders and at times influencing and negotiating at different levels including with boards, chief executives and senior managers, to help them improve their work, better demonstrate the difference they make, and plan for the future. High levels of sensitivity and assertiveness are required, as is the ability to think on one’s feet. In return, we hope to offer a flexible, varied and purposeful role that allows you to learn and grow.
You will understand what it takes to make an impact on a cause, measure that change and demonstrate this clearly using evidence. You’ll also have the mindset to see roadblocks and barriers to success, to unpick options and consider how desired outcomes can be met through multiple, often interconnecting means. You will be the person that see the bigger picture and think in terms of systems. Yet, with the skill to hone in, interrogate detail and help organisations understand their unique contribution to the whole. Articulating this kind of complex information simply in a way that different audiences can meaningfully engage with is essential.
You do not necessarily need to be experienced consultant, but you will need the skills and mindset to adapt quickly to this context. Being a curious, analytical team player who is comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with competing priorities will all be important traits. The role does involve project management and deadlines so the right candidate will be organised with an attention to detail.
You will have a background in one or more of the following; impact planning, evaluation or research. This may be complemented by experience of strategy development, programme management, training, facilitation or similar areas. Whatever your previous experience we don’t expect you to tick every box, we want to support your learning so that you can personally 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.
NCVO is fully committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in our sector. We want this to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work for us and we welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and identities. We particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups in the voluntary sector and those with diverse, lived experience. As part of our commitment to employing disabled people, all disabled candidates who meet the minimum requirement for all competencies on the person specification will be guaranteed an interview. If you require more information or informal discussion about the role please contact our Senior Consultant Sarah Menzies.
If you have access needs or require reasonable adjustments as part of the recruitment process, please let us know. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a pre-interview task and will have one week to complete the exercise. Interview questions will be shared in advance.
