***INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY, PLEASE***

We're looking for a Programme Co-ordinator to join our fundraising team on a 24-month contract.

You’ll provide key administrative support to the Head of Fundraising Transformation and the Communications Manager, adhering to the strategic communication plan. 

Key to this role will be collaborative and flexible working across workstreams. You’ll build relationships, share knowledge, co-ordinate stakeholders and identify efficiencies. There will be an opportunity to develop and handle new project management processes as well as collect and analyse information to support projects and strategic initiatives.
