Which of our values (We challenge ourselves, We keep it real, We bring the joy, We go beyond) most resonates with you and how would you live that value to contribute to the collective success of the firm, and the organisations we support.

• Reflecting on the changing landscape of the non-profit sector, identify a specific challenge you think More Partnership will face in the next 1-2 years and how you'll help us respond to it. Tell us about a time you've faced something similar.

• This role will see you work alongside our expert consultant partners to deliver your objectives. Tell us about a time you had to influence people you didn't manage to get something done. What was the situation, what did you do, and what was the outcome?
