About the role
We are looking for a new Grants Officer, to join our small but ambitious Grants Team and provide administrative and organisational support for our grantmaking operations (and the wider organisation as needed), as well as managing a portfolio of up to 30 grants and participating in special projects the Grants Team is working on, such as monitoring and learning work.
This role requires close and collegial working relationships with the Senior Grants Manager, the Grants Manager and the Director, as well as the wider team. You will also be working closely with our Board. You will also be a key point of contact for applicants, as well as our grant-holders and the wider sector.
This is an exciting time to join us. We are well into the delivery of our organisational strategy for 2022-25. Our strategy calls on us to deliver our work with 100% of our assets – namely our grantmaking, our investing, and our operations. For our grantmaking, this means ensuring that we embrace and deliver best and promising practice, with a focus on offering more ways of receiving pre-application advice, further refining our core funding offer, working more collaboratively, convening and connecting organisations we fund, investing more time and resource into learning and reflection, and delivering a wider offer of support to those we fund.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about our work and that of the wider charitable sector. The successful candidate will be someone who has great communication and networking skills, with a proven ability to work independently and collaboratively within small teams and organisations and manage a varied workload with a range of different deadlines. Our ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, with experience of database management and office systems,
and be interested in using our data and learning to consider how we can evolve and improve our grant making offer.
