About the Role

The primary focus of the Grants Officer is to support schools and youth organisations to operate the Jack Petchey Achievement Award scheme effectively and to promote, grow and deliver this and other JPF grant programmes across London and Essex. Although the geographical remit of each Grants officer can change on occasion, it is anticipated that this role will be responsible for the London Boroughs across North West and South West London, plus uniform youth groups who deliver their activities cross-borough.

The Achievement Award scheme is JPF’s flagship programme, with almost 2000 schemes in over 1400 schools, colleges and youth organisations across London and Essex. Through the programme, we invest millions of pounds each year to support young people and youth work. This is an amazing chance for you to have a big impact. The Achievement Award Scheme enables schools, colleges and youth organisations to recognise, reward and celebrate young people’s achievements. At JPF we are passionate about encouraging young people to raise their aspirations, believe in themselves and make a contribution to society. Achievement Awards are designed to recognise a wide range of achievement, not just those achieving academically but those ‘doing their best’ or demonstrating leadership, resilience and determination.

The post holder will manage delivery of the scheme and associated small grants in an assigned area of London and/or Essex.

The successful candidate would therefore be someone who has flexibility to travel, work out-of-office hours, enjoys building local relationships and public speaking, as well as navigating a busy grants and assessment caseload (desk-based processing, telephone calls/emails, and regular use of a database).
