As an organisation we have a big responsibility; we’re here to inspire and develop the next generation and to support our community to be a positive place for everyone living and working in the Borough. To do that, we need talented, professional, committed people with diverse voices, cultures and experience.
We look for people who are passionate about what they do, and who care about improving the lives of others. We pride ourselves on providing a positive culture for all staff and we celebrate diversity in our workforce, recognising the wealth of ideas and experience that a diverse workforce can bring.
Joining our team means working for a people-focussed organisation which does great things in and for our community. If you are an experienced grants professional with a passion for place-based work and looking for the opportunity to develop your skills, knowledge and career please read on!
At the heart of our strategy “Together For Bedford” is a collaborative, place-based approach to supporting Bedford’s diverse communities. After a deep dive into Borough statistics and conversations with over 400 members of the public about the issues which concern them, we’ve created two collaborative and innovative community initiatives for children and young people, Bedford Giving and the Accelerator Programme. Now we’re turning our attention to our long standing grants programme, ensuring we maximise our impact on community needs.
We are looking for a highly skilled grants manager, with line management experience, who can ensure core systems and processes run smoothly and efficiently but is excited by the prospect of playing a pivotal role in developing a grantmaking strategy which responds to existing and emerging community needs.
In addition to a competitive salary and generous holiday entitlement, we offer an excellent pension scheme, life insurance, hospital surgical treatment insurance, employee assistance programme, and a cash plan scheme that includes a variety of wellbeing benefits. There is also ample free car parking on site.
