Governance and Planning Manager Company: The Charity for Civil Servants
Salary: £45,000 per annum
Hours: Full-time
Location: Sutton, SM3 8DY
Job type: Permanent
Posting date: 22 Sept 2026
Closing date: 22 Oct 2026
The Charity for Civil Servants sits at the heart of the UK Civil Service. While we can’t always prevent the tricky, stressful, sad stuff from happening, when it does happen, we help current, former and retired civil servants get the best support.
We’re 140 years old in 2026 and we’ve got big ambitions to ensure we are there for those who need us for generations to come.
We are now recruiting for a Governance and Planning Manager, a key role responsible for ensuring strong governance, business planning and project management across the Charity. You will also, crucially, help us to ensure that our high-profile trustees are supported effectively.
Reporting to the Head of People and Governance, you will be working with colleagues across the Charity to provide guidance on trustee governance and business planning. You will be demonstrating your experience in project management and helping to bring together our diverse and dedicated teams to support collaboration and a ‘one Charity’ approach.
To be successful in this role, you’ll be organised with strong attention to detail and ideally be qualified in a project management discipline, although we’ll also consider candidates with demonstrable experience in lieu of a qualification. You'll be an excellent minute-taker with strong report writing and business planning skills.




You will also have strong influencing and interpersonal skills and be able to build accountability across individuals at all levels of the Charity to meet our collective targets and business objectives.
In return, we can offer you a supportive, inspiring and friendly team culture and excellent advantages including a health cash plan, Headspace, life assurance, excellent pension, generous annual leave, birthday leave, a cycle to work scheme and an electric vehicle scheme.
The Charity for Civil Servants are committed to building and developing a workforce which reflects the diversity of the civil service community that we support. We seek to ensure all job applications are treated fairly, with respect and without bias and we encourage applications from suitably experienced candidates regardless of sex, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion or belief, or any other factor.
