Fixed-term contract for 12 months
As Grants and Partnerships Administrator you will provide general administrative support to the Grants and Partnerships Team, acting as first point of contact for grants and fundraising queries and assisting with the collation of information for grant applications, fundraising appeals and cases for support.
The Grants and Partnerships Administrator is a crucial role for the College as you will build and maintain communications with stakeholders and partners associated with the team’s work, whilst helping with the implementation of a fundraising communications plan which will promote the College’s grants and fundraising activities and wider income diversification work to both internal and external audiences.
Taking responsibility for the maintenance of existing spreadsheets, files and folder systems to support effective oversight of the College’s grants and partnerships activities, you will work collaboratively with colleagues in the team to continually improve the processes, systems, structures and databases which are used to hold income diversification data.
Educated to A-level standard or with relevant experience, you should have substantial administrative skills, including a background of scheduling meetings and minute-taking.
With the ability to act to minimise errors and inaccuracies, you will be able to maintain high standards of accuracy and correctness when dealing with information and data.
Your strong communication skills, both oral and written, along with your excellent report writing skills will enable you to present information in a fluent and persuasive manner to people at a range of levels.
Experience of working in a Royal College or other membership organisation and experience of working in a sales or customer service environment, along with an understanding of the child health or charity sector, would be desirable.
The Grants and Partnerships Team is part of the wider Income Diversification Unit in the Corporate Services Division. The Grants and Partnerships Team works with colleagues across the College to secure funding and establish collaborations and partnerships with charities, universities, industry and other organisations to enable the RCPCH to deliver on its objective of improving health outcomes for infants, children and young people.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health sets and maintains standards for the education and training of all doctors working in paediatrics and child health in the UK. We advocate on child health issues at home and internationally. Additionally, through a variety of activities, the College influences the quality of medical practice for children in hospital and in the community.
The RCPCH has more than 22,000 members and fellows and employs around 200 staff, most of whom work in our London office in Holborn. We have smaller offices in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
The RCPCH wants to represent all the communities we serve. Appointment will be made solely on merit. However, the College is particularly keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic candidates, and/or candidates with a disability who are currently under-represented at this level of the organisation.
The College operates a flexible and modern working policy, whereby our colleagues work in the office for a minimum of 40% over a 4 week cycle and the remainder from home.
Closing date: 9 February 2024.
