About Us

They are looking for an Fund Engagement Manager to join their ambitious Grants Team and support the management of their special purpose funds.

- Free gym membership and access to yoga classes

If you have experience of stakeholder engagement and grants management, this is an amazing opportunity to help redevelop and manage funds for a growing charity. 

Our client’s grants enrich their hospitals and support staff and patients, from research fellowships to assistance for those who are in extreme financial difficulty as a result of being in hospital. 

You will have the chance to make a real difference within our client’s hospitals by championing their grants programme and ensuring funds are helping as many people as possible.

So, if you are looking to develop your skills and have the opportunity to bring about change within their way of working, they would love to hear from you.

Specifically, you will work with NHS staff who have delegated authority for our client’s special purpose funds. You’ll ensure funds are spent in line with guidelines, governance is followed and opportunities for grant spending and fund growth are capitalised. 

You will:

- Enhance engagement with their special purpose funds and promote their work

- Facilitate their strategic goals for their grants, fundraising and finance teams
- Support the senior management team and board of trustees
