Consultancy Opportunity

Sobus is the umbrella organisation for the voluntary and community sector in Hammersmith & Fulham. We provide support to local VCS groups in the form of capacity building and organisational development, forums and networks, bulletins and newsletters, training and resources, as well as providing office and meeting room space from our hubs in Fulham and North Kensington.

We are reviewing our direction of travel, and are looking for an external organisation or consultant to undertake a short review/audit of our services. We want to find out from our clients if the services we provide are effective and delivering what is needed and what changes we need to make to better support the organisations we work with.
We anticipate you will conduct interviews with up to 10 organisations – getting their feedback on what they value, what we do well and what we need to improve, and what support or services they need. You will then present us with your findings and recommendations to enable us to develop a creative and effective plan for the future. We anticipate that this would be around a week’s work, spread over a one month period, ideally completing before the end of April 2025.

The consultant should have:
– Experience of working within the voluntary and community sector.
– A track record of undertaking reviews or audits, including effective engagement with research participants
– Experience in collating and presenting results in a clear, concise and constructive way

Interested parties are asked to submit a brief Expression of Interest, outlining your suitability for the role, together with an indicative time frame and budget.
For further information or to submit your EOI, please contact:
