Programme Funding Officer

 
Looking for a great way to develop a career in the NGO sector? Then help our Funding Team plan, raise and manage funds from institutional and non-institutional donors. You’ll be supporting crucial initiatives while discovering how we work, and how you can progress into a field-based role.
 
About the role
In this admin-focused role, you will gather and collate all the information that explains how these funds are used and managed, pulling together reports and proposal submissions and sending them out to key people. There will be deadlines to meet and internal staff to keep up to date. But no matter how busy or pressured it gets, you will be unfailingly accurate and well organised.
 
About you
Although familiarity with donors and humanitarian programming is a plus, what is vital is that you can work both independently and as part of a team, and that you have plenty of initiative, enthusiasm and common sense. As you will be co-ordinating and editing reports, good research and communication skills are important too. And, of course, you will be flexible enough to juggle priorities and analytical enough to pinpoint key information. Just as importantly, you will have the travel permits that give you the right to enter Jerusalem and the West Bank.
 
About Oxfam
A simple, inescapable truth underlines everything we do at Oxfam. There is enough wealth in this world to go around. It’s not unfortunate that people live in poverty. It’s unjustifiable. And it’s not just their problem. It’s ours too. At Oxfam we believe that with the right support, we can beat poverty and injustice. More than 8,000 people already commit their time and talents to our campaigning, humanitarian and long-term development projects. Now we’re looking for yours!
