Job Details

Summary

This role is with the International National Trusts Organisation, a separate charity which acts as the umbrella body for the global family of National Trusts. We have created a new capacity building project which seeks to build the capacity of our member organisations whilst at the same time growing INTO’s impact and reach. We have created a vision and an outline framework and now need someone with a flair for weaving together different project strands (technical assistance programme, membership growth and communications) with a focus on delivering hands-on advice to INTO member organisations.

To support your application please provide a covering letter outlining your suitability.

What it's like to work here

It’ll be a challenging role that will push and stretch you, but, for the right person, it’s an amazing opportunity to play a central role in an exciting period of INTO’s development.

You will join INTO’s small, highly motivated and mostly volunteer, global team. A considerable part of the work will be based in London and/or Swindon and you must be willing to travel extensively internationally.

Please note this role can be based in either our head office in Swindon (SN2) or Grosvenor Gardens (SW1).

What you'll be doing

It’ll be a challenging role that will push and stretch you, but, for the right person, it’s an amazing opportunity to play a central role in an exciting period of INTO’s development. You’ll be responsible for the design and implementation of TAP-INTO, our new technical assistance programme aimed at helping national trusts around the world to grow, develop their campaigns and share best practice. You will also lead INTO’s membership growth and retention strategy and develop a communications plan to increase INTO's global profile.

Your day to day work will vary through the life of the project but will include programme development, practical advice and hands-on support (in country) to INTO member organisations, financial management and administration, membership recruitment and retention, fundraising, project reporting, stakeholder management and advocacy.

You will join INTO’s small, highly motivated and mostly volunteer, global team. A considerable part of the work will be based in London and/or Swindon and you must be willing to travel extensively internationally. You'll be instrumental in ensuring that all aspects of the project are delivered to meet both INTO and our funder’s requirements.
