The Grants Administrator has overall responsibility for the efficient operation of the grant-giving activities of the Grocers’ Livery Company – from the receipt of the initial enquiry and grant application to the processing, selection and recommendation of grant applications to the decision-making Committee.
Reporting directly to the Chief Executive of the Company, the Grants Administrator is the primary contact with the grant applicants and the beneficiaries, which include Schools, Churches and other charitable organisations. Working with the Education and Charities Committee is a key aspect of the role and there will be frequent internal contact with the finance team and the Chief Executive.
The successful candidate will be degree-level educated, have good all-round office skills, including regular use of MS Word and email, possess a confident phone manner, the ability to prioritise and to take responsibility for own work without the need for close supervision. Previous experience of working with Committees will be useful but not essential.
The Grants Administrator needs to be in the office 5 days a week but the hours can be flexible. The Grocers’ Company, located close to Bank station, is one of the City of London’s Great 12 Livery Companies, a membership based organisation and a major grant maker through its extensive charitable activities.
