This role will support the Government Relations Managers and Government Relations Coordinators to deliver initiatives designed to ensure the strategic and tactical growth of the organisation through a range of grant management, administrative and support tasks.
You will provide day-to-day administrative support to contract coordination and management activities, ensuring effective internal coordination and a consistent approach to delivery, and reporting across relevant programmes. You will also have the opportunity to support the development of new programmes and projects by providing input and administrative support to the development of briefing notes, concept notes, proposals and bids.
