Grants Officer

Office based, hybrid, at least three days in our rural Ashford office

We are looking for an experienced professional to take a key role in our grant-making team as our second Grants Officer.  You will be comfortable analysing applications for funding and making informed recommendations, as well as a highly competent database user, comfortable with “super user” responsibilities. In addition, you will take a lead on data – reporting on, representing and interrogating our grant-making data.  You will also be lead contact on a limited number of funds, so must be confident managing relationships with stakeholders.   Finally, you will oversee our grantee feedback process; managing process for receipt, collation and distribution of grant feedback. 

So, if you are database-confident, numerate, analytical, self-motivated, highly organised and comfortable taking the initiative, this could be the opportunity for you.  You would be an integral part of a great team getting much needed grants to worthy causes all over Kent & Medway.

This is a full-time position based at our offices in Smeeth near Ashford, requiring at least three days in the office.  Public transport links are very limited, so own transport is required.   

Applications should be in the form of an up-to-date CV and covering letter. (CVs received without an accompanying cover letter won’t be considered.) The closing date for applications is 5pm on Friday 12th July.  Interviews will provisionally be held on Wednesday 24th July.
