We have been building powerful partnerships for children for 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.
As Programme Support Officer you will manage the project cycle for a portfolio of Major Partnership Unit funded projects; ensuring that projects are aligned with UK and Country office strategy and standards; that project learning is shared; and most importantly, that projects are implemented according to agreed objectives and donor contracts. You will also support Programme Officers in new project proposal development, contributing to narrative, budget and M&E aspects of new project proposals. In addition, you will take responsibility for the development and implementation of team grant management systems and processes, ensure data collection for reporting against grant and programme KPIs, and support knowledge management within the team on thematic areas such as monitoring and evaluation.
You will have prior experience of partnership/institutional fundraising and project cycle management. Managing such a portfolio will demand excellent communications skills, strong time management skills, plus the ability to identify issues and find creative, collaborative solutions to ensure projects are delivered and expectations met. Above all, you will also be a passionate advocate for Plan International UK and be able to build excellent relationships at all levels of the organisation.
