Hackney CVS is looking for a Development Manager to lead our Organisational Development work and strengthen support for the voluntary and community sector (VCS) across Hackney and the City of London.

This is a key role, overseeing a small team and shaping a high-quality, responsive offer of training, advice and capacity building for local organisations. You will work closely with VCS groups of all sizes, building trusted relationships and ensuring our support reflects the realities they face.

You will also connect insight from the sector with funders, partners and stakeholders, helping to improve access to resources and opportunities. Working across Hackney CVS, you will collaborate with colleagues to ensure our work is joined up, impactful and aligned with organisational priorities.

We are looking for someone with strong experience in organisational development within the VCS, with the ability to lead, build relationships and think strategically. A commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion is essential, particularly in supporting organisations led by and working with underrepresented communities.

If you’re interested in this exciting opportunity to shape how infrastructure support is delivered locally, we’d love to hear from you.
