Associate - London Funders

Salary: To be discussed

Contract: Consultancy or Freelance, minimum 25 days across 12 months

Deadline: 12pm, 6 September

About the role

London Funders is looking for an Associate to join our team. The Associate will act as a convenor and facilitator, supporting some of our networks of funders to create a better London. 

This role is offered as a consultancy/freelance opportunity, for the next 12 months as a minimum.  Currently we expect this work will comprise a minimum of 25 days for the next 12 months, with any additional days agreed with you as well as the pattern of delivery. Any additional packages of work agreed during the year will be based on your capacity and the needs of the organisation.

We are looking for an Associate to act as a convenor and facilitator, supporting our growing movement of funders to create a better London. 

A key part of the role will be to chair and facilitate of our existing place based networks of local funders and our London’s Giving network meetings. Following a recent review of the forums and London’s Giving, it is clear that members value these spaces to share learning, connect and make more strategic approaches to funding within and across London’s boroughs. Due to the growth of London Funders’ other programmes and demands on the team, we now need to bring in more capacity to support these areas of work. This role will complement the work being done by other staff members, so as an Associate you will collaborate with the team while working with a large degree of independence. 

We’re looking for someone who is an excellent communicator, who facilitates in an inclusive and dynamic way, who can help direct and provide focus to discussions and can create spaces that encourage diverse perspectives. You will be a keen collaborator, with a solid grounding in the funding community, so you are able to identify issues which are relevant to our members. You will be someone who relishes the opportunity to bring different stakeholders together to find and act on common goals.  

Most importantly, you will be someone who wants to help build a better London by taking action on what matters to our city and our communities. 

About London Funders

We’re at the heart of a great network of over 170 member organisations, focused on funding in London. This includes every local authority in London, City Hall, independent trusts and foundations, businesses, social investment organisations, housing associations and more. Together, our members invest hundreds of millions of pounds every year in civil society through all aspects of London’s life, from arts through to welfare, so that people across our communities can live better lives.  We’re the place where funders come together to connect and collaborate, where ideas are generated and acted on, and where people work to ensure that resources are channelled to the right places. You can read more about our ambitions here. 

Over the past year we’ve grown in number and have several new programmes of work underway, including Collaboration Circle, a new space for funders and civil society to make funding decisions together, and the Place Based Giving Resource Hub, which will strengthen and amplify the reach, profile and influence of place based giving across London and beyond. This Associate role comes at a critical time to help us understand and connect the work happening across our membership, share the learning we’re gathering through our work, and promote how funders can collectively address the challenges facing Londoners.  

How to apply

Please send us your CV, together with a covering letter (no more than two sides of A4) that explains how your skills, experience and knowledge make you the right person for this role. Please also tell us what your day rate is; and if you are applying as a secondment basis please let us know what your salary expectations would be. We’d also like you to fill in a monitoring form, which will be detached from your CV/letter on receipt, and used to help us ensure that we’re reaching the full diversity of London’s communities with our recruitment.  

All personal details will be redacted from your CV and covering letter prior to shortlisting so please send in a Word format that can be copied and pasted. 

The deadline for getting your application to us is 6 September 2024 at 12 noon. If you need any alternative formats, you would like to discuss any reasonable adjustments, or anything else please don’t hesitate to contact us.  

When you’re ready, send your CV, covering letter, and equality and diversity monitoring form to our Operations Coordinator jessica.allsop@londonfunders.org.uk – you can also contact Jess on that email address if you have any queries, or call us on 020 7255 4488.  We look forward to hearing from you!
