Role and Responsibilities
You will support our local VCSE organisations across all aspects of their development, including providing advice and guidance on securing funding, strengthening governance, and establishing the right organisational structures. You will also set up, support, and facilitate networks and partnerships that enable VCSE organisations to amplify their voices and be represented, helping them shape and influence local strategic priorities through ongoing local conversations.
