About the role
This executive interview examines how you would shape and govern a portfolio of community programmes in a faith-based NGO. The panel is looking for strategic choices grounded in evidence, firm safeguarding leadership, responsible use of grants and the ability to maintain fair access while working with varied partners and communities.
How to prepare
- Prepare an example of reshaping a programme portfolio in response to evidence or changing needs.
- Review how you connect programme design, budgets, risk, learning and community feedback.
- Think through your executive responsibilities when a safeguarding concern is reported.
- Prepare a difficult funding or portfolio decision and the criteria you used.
- Practise explaining how faith-based identity can coexist with fair, accountable service delivery.
Common mistakes
- Equating activity counts with meaningful outcomes.
- Treating community consultation as a one-off meeting.
- Delegating safeguarding responsibility without executive oversight.
- Avoiding clear choices when funding cannot support every programme.
- Failing to separate service eligibility from religious participation.
