Our client is the national fundraising charity for art. They believe that art can make you see, think and feel differently, and through their work they help make art more accessible to as many visitors as possible, wherever they are. They give grants to help museums and galleries acquire works of art for their collections, share them with wide audiences, and support the training and professional development of curators. They are supported by their growing membership of 130,000 through the National Art Pass, as well as the generosity of many trusts, foundations and other individuals.

As Programme Assistant you'll support the Programme team with the delivery of their annual grant-making programmes by providing administrative assistance and fostering good relationships with their museum and art professionals network. Your key responsibilities will include responding to and redirecting enquiries received by the Programme team, processing grant applications and grant payments, assessing applications, preparing papers for trustee and panel meetings, producing and sending paperwork related to applications, troubleshooting and escalating technical issues reported by applicants, and keeping up to date and accurate records across their systems and databases.
