Grants form part of the Philanthropy department.

This is an exciting career development opportunity to maximise the potential of relationships with a wide range of UK and international grantors, including charitable trust, statutory, and lottery funders. The post holder will be the lead for the whole of Philanthropy on some projects, working closely with project delivery and other teams across the organisation.
