About this role

As Programme Officer, you will provide high-quality programme and operational support across Turn2us's national, place-based and ongoing grant programmes. This is a varied, hands-on role where you will help deliver and improve integrated programmes that bring together grant-making, income maximisation, partnership working, community insight and co-production.

You will support grant applications and payments, coordinate programme activities, maintain accurate records and help organise and facilitate meetings and workshops. You will build positive relationships with programme and community partners, people with lived experience of financial insecurity and colleagues across Turn2us.

Working across several programmes, you will take ownership of your work, manage competing priorities and contribute learning and insights that help us improve our programmes and work towards ending financial insecurity.

About you

We are looking for a proactive, organised and collaborative person with experience supporting programmes or projects and people experiencing poverty or financial insecurity.

You will be confident managing competing priorities, taking responsibility for your work and seeing tasks through to completion, while knowing when to raise risks or ask for support.

You will bring experience of grant-making, financial support or similar processes, alongside confidence using CRM or case-management systems, maintaining accurate records and handling personal information responsibly.

Strong communication and relationship-building skills are essential, including the ability to work respectfully with people with different experiences and perspectives.

You will understand safeguarding, data protection and inclusive practice, and bring empathy, sound judgement, adaptability and a willingness to learn. Experience can come from the charity, community, public or other relevant sectors.

We offer flexible working patterns, both in terms of hours and remote working. Please note that all employees are required to work from the office a minimum of 1 day a week.
