Job description

PHF has a long-standing interest in Arts Education. We currently have two Funds focusing on this area; our Arts-based Learning Fund and the Teacher Development Fund. As a Grants Manger - Arts Education, you will be particularly focused on these two Funds.

We believe that arts-based approaches can build equity in classrooms and support children and young people, particularly those experiencing disadvantage, to overcome barriers to learning. We know that the arts play an important role in supporting young people to thrive in education. The arts can enrich learning experiences, increasing young people’s engagement in school and learning and supporting key educational outcomes. The arts can also unlock potential by helping young people to develop skills in critical thinking, collaboration, creativity and problem-solving. In addition, engaging with the arts supports young people’s communication, empathy and emotional wellbeing.

Through our Arts’ Education funding we support arts/cultural organisations and education settings to work in partnership to explore how the arts can enrich the lives of children and young people and develop the professional practice of teachers.

In addition to our grant-making the Arts Education team supports a range of learning activities for grant-holders. This includes a formal Cohort Learning Programme for organisations involved in the Teachers Development Fund and informal online learning and networking events for organisations in the Arts-based Learning Fund portfolio.

What will be my main contribution?

As a Grants Manager, you will act as the primary point of contact between applicant organisations and Paul Hamlyn Foundation, undertaking enquiry calls, assessing applications and making funding recommendations to our decision-making panel. You will work closely with funded organisations in the Arts-based Leaning and Teacher Development Fund. There is a current portfolio of c 50 live grants that you will manage and be the key point of contact for. You will build strong relationships with funded organisations, responding to emerging needs and supporting them to achieve their growth and development goals.

Who will I line manage?

You will report to the Head of Programme – Education.

Who will I line manage?

You will not have line management responsibilities. However, you will be expected to work in a small and fully interconnected structure that relies on collaboration, flexibility and the ability to operate within both formal and informal reporting relationships.

What other key internal relationships will I have?

You will work closely with colleagues in the Strategic Learning, Insight and Influence team to – share intelligence; develop an understanding of the impact that our funding and support are having; and highlight and celebrate best practice more widely to help drive the change we would like to see.

You will also work closely with colleagues in the Finance and Resources team to ensure good and effective grant management.

What level of budget responsibility will I have?
