12-month fixed term contract

About the role

Do you know your Hastings from your Haywards Heath?

Your Rochester from your Royal Tunbridge Wells?

If you’ve got experience in grant-making, and of working closely with small and medium charities to improve their practice, we really want to hear from you.

This is a really exciting time to be doing what we’re doing, and a crucial one too. The challenges facing small and medium-sized charities are well documented, but through a combination of longer-term funding, developmental support and influence work, we are working towards creating a stronger, more resilient sector.

Because of an internal secondment, the Foundation is looking to appoint a Grant Manager based in the South East of England on a 12-month fixed term contract. They will be responsible for a regional grant portfolio of c.£3m, where grants are for up to £200,000 over six years.

The portfolio will cover an area that includes parts of South and East London*, East Sussex, West Sussex and Kent. The role is home-based (which must be ‘on patch,’) but requires frequent travel across the region and to the Foundation’s London Office.  Given the nature of the work, we also pay an essential car allowance, and we expect candidates to hold a full driving licence. 

You will have at least three years’ experience providing developmental support to help strengthen charities as well as some experience of assessing grant applications and managing live relationships. Candidates should also have well-established networks across the voluntary sector and a good understanding of the environment that small and local charities are operating in.

The role is suited to an individual who can demonstrate sound judgement and an ability to initiate and deliver discrete strands of developmental work with charities alongside traditional grant making. They will have experience of supplier management and demonstrate strong communication, influencing and negotiating skills.

The role will include responsibility for contributing to wider Foundation activity, including working with colleagues within Lloyds Banking Group, other funders and infrastructure organisations. The Foundation is passionate about developing and maintaining relationships and sees itself a partner to charities, so a key aspect of the role involves meeting with charity staff, trustees and beneficiaries.
