What you will do:

• Carry out checks on grant claims to make sure they meet our criteria, following up with applicants and colleagues as needed.
• Support the application process, including preparing panel packs, drafting grant offers, and gathering due diligence information.
• Help keep our administrative systems, databases and financial records accurate and up to date.
• Provide programme support including preparing for audits, collating information for funders, and monitoring project data.
• Respond to enquiries and provide excellent customer service to applicants and stakeholders.

What you will bring:

• Strong administration and numeracy skills with excellent attention to detail.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to follow clear processes.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a track record of providing excellent customer service.
• Confidence working with Microsoft Office, particularly Excel.
