- Supporting community organisations with governance, planning and organisational improvement.
- Facilitating workshops, training and capacity-building activities.
- Supporting volunteer recruitment, engagement and matching.
- Representing NFP House at meetings, events and community activities.
- Monitoring project outcomes and making sure funded projects deliver what they set out to achieve.
We are looking for someone who:
