About the role

As Grants Officer, you'll play a key role in delivering a collaborative and inclusive grant-making approach, supporting work that brings the law closer to communities.

You'll be part of a small, supportive team and involved across the full grant lifecycle from early conversations with applicants through to assessment, decision-making and ongoing grant management.

This is a role with real scope to contribute ideas, shape practice, and deepen how the organisation works with its partners.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting applicants and helping develop a strong pipeline of grant applications
• Assessing proposals for funding including reviewing financial and other organisational information
• Building trusted, thoughtful relationships with funded partners
• Managing a portfolio of grants and supporting partners over time
• Contributing to learning, reflection and continuous improvement across the grants team
• Working collaboratively with colleagues to strengthen processes and practice

You'll also have the opportunity to contribute to wider conversations about social justice, funding practice, and the external environment.

About you

They are looking for someone who brings both practical experience and a strong alignment with the organisation's mission and values.

You might already be working in grants, or you may be looking to bring your experience from the charity or social sector into a grant making role.

You'll likely bring:

• Experience building and managing relationships with a range of stakeholders
• Experience working or volunteering in the charity or social sector
• Experience of managing grants, partnerships or programmes, or equivalent relationships
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to engage sensitively with diverse stakeholders
• Clear and confident communication skills (written and verbal)
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities
• A collaborative, reflective approach to your work

An understanding of the UK social justice landscape or lived experience connected to the organisation's mission, would be valuable, but is not essential.

If you don't tick every box, we'd still encourage you to apply.

Working remotely as part of a rotational shift pattern, you'll provide calm, focused and compassionate support through telephone, online chat and digital platforms.

We're particularly interested in people who can remain calm and effective under pressure, make sound autonomous clinical decisions, communicate with compassion and clarity, and work confidently within structured clinical frameworks in a remote, shift-based service.

Experience in crisis helplines, acute mental health services, emergency services, suicide prevention, trauma-informed practice or digital service delivery would be an advantage.
