From local and national support services to green spaces, sports clubs, museums and the arts, voluntary organisations and volunteers are a vital part of communities across the country. As the membership community for charities and voluntary organisations, NCVO has championed volunteers and the voluntary sector for over a hundred years.
We’re an established and trusted training provider to over 5,000 people each year from across the charity sector and beyond. We run our training services as a social business, offering cost effective, high-quality learning.
Our wide-ranging well-respected portfolio of training aims to give the people working or volunteering for a charity what they need to thrive in their role. Our training also generates significant income for NCVO, playing a vital role in our financial sustainability and allowing us to achieve our mission.
Our training programme has three key strands:
open (delivered live online)
in-house (delivered online and/or face to face with an organisation on a specific theme)
eLearning.
With support and oversight from the training and development manager, this role is responsible for the smooth running of our open training.
To be successful in this role you will need to be a highly organised and detail focused individual with experience of managing programmes, events, or courses. You’ll be comfortable using technology, be able to quickly learn new systems, and have experience of customer management systems for managing projects and reporting information.
You will be part of a busy friendly team who work closely together to achieve excellent customer results and impact on the sector. There will be opportunities to develop your own skills and input ideas in this varied and exciting role.
In return, we hope to offer a flexible, varied, and purposeful role, that allows you to learn and grow.
NCVO is fully committed to equity, diversity and inclusion in our sector. We want this to be reflected in the diversity of the people who work for us.
We welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and identities. We particularly welcome applications from disabled and black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under-represented at NCVO. As part of our commitment to employing disabled people, all disabled candidates who meet the minimum requirement for all competencies on the person specification will be guaranteed an interview.
We’d love to hear from a diverse range of applicants, please consider applying if you meet some but not all the experience for the role but feel you have skills and knowledge to do the job. If you’d like further information or an informal discussion, please contact our training and development manager, Melinda Dixon.
If you have access needs or require reasonable adjustments as part of the recruitment process, please let us know.
