What npo法人職員(企画・運営) do

An English description is being prepared. Japanese description:

社会の様々な課題を解決するため、営利を目的とせず社会貢献活動を行うNPO法人(特定非営利活動法人)において、新規事業の企画立案や事業の運営を行う。
 NPO法人は、社会の多様化したニーズに応えるために、福祉、教育・文化、まちづくり、環境、国際協力など様々な分野で活動している。NPO法人では、有給職員だけでなくボランティアも活動しているが、その多くは、事業の実施を担う人材であり、企画・運営業務を行う職員の割合はそれほど多くはない。また、小規模のNPO法人においては、企画・運営業務だけでなく、一人で様々な業務を担当することもある。
 仕事は、大きく分けると、新規事業の企画立案と事業の運営の2つの業務がある。まず、日頃の活動を通じて、支援対象者の課題やステークホルダーのニーズを把握する中で、新規事業のアイディアが生まれる。そうしたアイディアをもとに、文献調査やヒアリング調査等を行い、先行事例や現場のニーズを把握した上で、新規事業の企画を行う。新規事業の企画が明確になったら、事業の予算を見積もり、事業計画を作成する。新規事業の企画プロセスでは、企画・運営業務を担う職員が中心となって企画を実現化していくほか、比較的大きな団体においては各事業部門の担当者とともに、チームを結成することもある。
 新規事業の運営にあたっては、事業に関係するステークホルダーと調整を行いながら、資金の調達、事業のスケジュール管理、イベントの計画や事業拠点等の手配、ボランティアを含む事業を実際に担う人材の確保・管理、予算の管理のほか、これらに関連する事務的な業務も行う。自治体等の委託事業を実施する場合は、申請書や報告書の作成などを行う。また、事業の評価指標を設定し、事業実施後にアンケート調査等によりその効果を検証した上で、事業の改善や事業の拡大につなげていく団体もある。
 行政や民間企業が取り組むことが難しい領域において、先進的・革新的な事業を立ち上げ、それが利用者の方の役に立ち、社会貢献につながった時に大きなやりがいを感じることができる。
