Are you organised, thoughtful, and excited to work at the heart of local infrastructure?

‍We’re looking for a Projects Officer to join our small team at NAVCA.

This is a role that sits at the heart of local and national - supporting infrastructure organisations across the country to build capacity, deliver impact and drive change. From shaping local delivery to supporting national projects, you’ll play a key role in making sure communities can take action on the things that matter to them.

About the role

You’ll be part of the team delivering NAVCA’s projects – from grant-funded initiatives to responsive support. You’ll work directly with our members, and make sure everything runs smoothly and is properly reported.

In particular, the post-holder will lead delivery of projects to build capacity in communities – identifying members to deliver capacity building support to local voluntary sector organisations. They will also work closely with the wider team to ensure timely and effective delivery of responsive project activity and NAVCA’s core member services.

This is a brilliant opportunity if you enjoy project management and working with people, and want to make a real difference to social action across England.

About you

We are looking for someone proactive, curious and highly organised – with great communication skills. You’ll bring experience of delivering projects and working with partners, ideally in a grant or contract-funded environment.

We are looking for someone who is passionate about the work of the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. Having experience in the VCSE sector is ideal, but not essential.
