OCVA is seeking an organised and proactive Administrator to ensure the smooth running of our office and support our team. As our Administrator, you’ll often be the first point of contact, managing our main phone line, handling the admin inbox, and processing incoming post. You’ll look after the administration relating to our building, keeping on top of our facilities compliance, and provide support to the CEO and Board of Trustees, including scheduling meetings and taking concise and accurate minutes. We provide a regular programme of online and in-person training which you will work with the team to schedule, overseeing registrations and payments and ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day.

We are looking for someone who is organised, enthusiastic and quick to learn. You will enjoy working with all sorts of people, have great communication skills and be diplomatic, with an ability to take the initiative when opportunities arise. You will be confident with Microsoft Office and willing to learn how to use other programmes such as CIVI (our online database), Xero (for raising invoices), Microsoft Teams and Zoom (for online meetings).

We aim to make our programs a model for the highest global standards and to cultivate power and lasting change not just for our clients but for all people affected by humanitarian crises. To achieve that vision, the IRC’s Technical Excellence (TE) group, located within the Crisis Response, Recovery and Development (CRRD) Department, provides technical assistance to IRC’s country program staff and shares what we learn to influence policy and practice.

IRC’s Technical Excellence team is comprised of five teams or sector “Units” which have deep expertise in their respective fields: Education, Economic Wellbeing, Governance, Health, and Violence Prevention and Response, as well as teams which provide measurement and finance/grant management support. Technical teams are also matrixed with a team that focuses on the quality and content of cross-sectoral programming in emergency responses.

IRC’s Technical Excellence teams offer five core services to IRC country programs and the wider organization:

1. Program Design: We support country and regional teams to design state of the art programming, incorporating the best available evidence, cost data, and expertise of what has worked elsewhere, with the knowledge that country teams, partner organizations and our clients bring to the table.

2. Quality Assurance: We partner with our measurement teams to design and drive the use of indicators to measure progress towards outcomes; we partner with regional and country teams to review program delivery progress and help address implementation challenges and adapt interventions to changed circumstances.

3. Business Development: We partner within and outside the IRC to design winning bids and identify winning consortia; we deploy technical expertise in public events and private meetings to position IRC as a partner of choice.

4. Research & Learning: We partner with our research lab to design cutting edge research to fill evidence gaps, and with country teams to learn from implementation such that we continuously improve our future design and delivery.

5. External Influence: We showcase the IRC’s programs, technical insights and learning in order to influence and improve the humanitarian sector’s policy and practice.

Technical Excellence is currently going through a change process called "Regional and Technical Alignment." We are doing this to ensure that the impact of our programs and the influence of our ideas create meaningful change for people affected by crisis. This next phase of IRC's commitment to program quality will more deliberately resource and link global thought leadership with practice on the ground. Updated Technical Unit structures will have new roles with clearer mandates. The Global Practice Lead is a new leadership role introduced by this change process.

Deputy Development Director

The salary for the post will be £49,000 - £55,000 per annum FTE

Peterhouse is the oldest College in Cambridge (founded in 1284) and is also among the smallest (currently 291 undergraduates; 176 postgraduates; 44 Fellows). The College provides accommodation for almost all its Junior Members either on or near the main College site. The College is, therefore characterised by a greater degree of regular interaction between Senior and Junior Members than is the case in some larger Colleges. It is a vibrant community, with many active clubs and societies, and a strong tradition of table fellowship. Peterhouse is situated in Trumpington Street in Central Cambridge.

The College’s development activities are essential to its future. The Office fundraises for the College, and organises a wide range of events and produces publications for alumni.

The College seeks to appoint a Deputy Development Director with two main responsibilities – the day-to-day management and motivation of members of the fundraising team, and the cultivation of an individual portfolio of 50 UK-based prospects with giving capacity of up to £50k. 

The successful candidate will oversee the day-to-day running of the development office and optimise efficiency in all operational areas, including our database, financial systems and reporting, policies and procedures, event planning, and daily workflows. The post-holder will line-manage, support, and motivate all members of the development team and promote positive working relations through regular one-to-ones, mentoring, team meetings and away days. A key activity is to manage an individual portfolio of 50 UK-based prospects with giving capacity of up to £50k (alumni, non-alumni, trusts, foundations) and develop a cultivation strategy for each constituent, based on regular face-to-face meetings and other KPIs to be agreed with the Development Director after six months in post. It will be expected that the post-holder will create and implement a multi-year strategy to grow annual fund income, including from the telephone campaign, the 1284 Circle (regular giving) and other new initiatives

You will have track record of successfully line managing one or more individuals in a high-performing team, together with experience of effective fundraising and asking for gifts or equivalent experience in a results-oriented, project-based environment. You will possess the ability to influence and negotiate at senior levels externally and within an organisation and to describe and communicate compelling propositions. You will have highly developed stakeholder management skills and able to develop, create and sustain trusted and effective relationships with potential partners.

You will enjoy:

• Holiday entitlement is 25 days plus 8 bank and public holidays. A car parking space may be available, subject to capacity.
• The College offers an auto-enrolled pension scheme to eligible employees, after 3 months’ completed service.  The scheme is the Cambridge Colleges Group Personal Pension Scheme (CCGPPS) with Aviva.
• Lunch is provided free of charge when on duty over lunchtime and when the College kitchens are open.
• The College offers a medical cashback scheme to staff.

 The closing date for applications is 8.00am on Thursday 28th November 2024. Interviews will take place on Thursday 5th December 2024
