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 Jack Petchey Foundation (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 positive contribution to society. Achievement Awards are designed to recognise a wide range of achievement, not just those achieving academically, but are also aimed at young people who are ‘doing their best’ or demonstrating leadership skills, resilience and determination.
The post holder will manage delivery of the scheme and associated small grants in an assigned area of London. They will be responsible for maintaining and developing positive relationships with schools and youth organisations. The role will involve significant travel to visit schools and youth organisations, as well as outreach and community engagement work to identify and support new groups to apply to join our scheme. This work will also require evenings and occasional weekend work, especially to support our Achievement Award celebration events.
The successful candidate would therefore be someone who has flexibility to travel, work out-of-office hours, enjoys building 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). It could be a great role for someone living in North West or South West London.

To promote and strengthen the Jack Petchey Achievement Award scheme and associated programmes (Leader Award Grants, Educational Visits, Environmental Awards and Partnership Programmes) in schools and youth organisations
To support schools and youth organisations to administer the Jack Petchey Achievement Award scheme to a high standard and maximise the positive impact it has on young people.
To ensure that schools and youth organisations maximise their use of the small programmes and partnership programmes associated with the Jack Petchey Achievement Award scheme.
To ensure that accurate data is recorded on all JPF systems.
To support programme growth, impact and reach by building stakeholder relationships in your assigned local area.

About Unlocked
Unlocked Graduates exists to break cycles of reoffending. Currently prison isn’t a place which successfully does this – the average prisoner has 16 previous convictions and 55% of those released from short term sentences reoffend within one year. The work we do is both extremely challenging and massively urgent. We aspire to have deep impact on the landings of individual prisons, but also breadth of impact through the whole sector, and society at large.
Since 2017, we have sought to lead this change by recruiting, training and challenging the best graduates in the country to become prison officers. Our two-year programme has put the role on the map as a career where the best people can develop extraordinary leadership skills whilst making a real difference. We are established as a Times Top 100 Graduate Employer, and recognised in the UK and internationally for the impact our participants have on the landings.
We know that we will never achieve change on our own. Real, long-term change depends on our ambassadors – those who have completed the programme and are driving impact across the criminal justice system. To be an Unlocked ambassador is to be part of a movement for change: Whether they stay on the front line, shape national policy, or lead work in the wider sector, they draw on their shared experience to push for meaningful reform. By supercharging their collective expertise, we are building the momentum needed to transform prisons and break cycles of reoffending.
Our mission
The mission of Unlocked Graduates is to break cycles of re-offending by developing outstanding individuals to lead rehabilitation in prisons and throughout society.
About the role
Our ambassadors are connected by a powerful shared experience, deeply held values, and a collective commitment to furthering our mission. The Ambassador Network Manager role is integral to harnessing this potential, ensuring our growing community remains engaged, connected, and empowered to make an impact.
We have strong engagement across the ambassador network and work closely with this community involving them in our programme, and supporting them to tackle cycles of reoffending in whatever path they choose. We have made a significant strategic commitment to investing in a purposeful, high-impact ambassador network; one that fosters connections, empowers ambassadors to thrive in their careers, and drives collaboration across the sector.
As our network grows, this role needs to go beyond one-to-one relationship management, applying community organising and self-sustaining network-building principles to ensure ambassadors can support and mobilise each other. Our strategy is evolving at pace, so we’re looking for someone who can test and trial new approaches to engagement, bringing fresh ideas and adapting quickly.
We are looking for someone with proven experience in relationship building and community management, with a drive and enthusiasm for growing our network to have impact.

Are you an experienced fundraiser with a track record of securing and managing large grants? Do you enjoy finding creative and proactive ways to build relationships with new and existing funders? We’re looking for a talented fundraiser to join us. Reporting to the Development Director and working closely with our project leads, this role will be a crucial addition to our mission-driven team. Individuals who are passionate about public interest journalism and its power to drive real-world change are encouraged to apply.
About the Bureau
The Bureau is the UK’s largest independent non-profit investigative journalism organisation. In the last year, our investigations were published in over 100 countries across local, national, international, specialist, TV and digital platforms. Our four global investigative teams work with reporters around the world on priority cross-border issues – environment, health, dirty money and big tech. In addition, our UK-focused Bureau Local team uses an innovative community-led approach to cover issues like insecure work, migrant rights and family courts, amplifying the voices of underrepresented communities. Founded in 2010, we’ve grown from a small group of journalists to a diverse team delivering hard-hitting investigations that have prompted inquiries, sparked legal challenges and informed policy change in the UK and across the world. This role will initially focus on the work of our Bureau Local and Dirty Money teams.
Our fundraising
At the Bureau, our funders and supporters are vital. We are almost entirely funded through grants and donations so – put simply – without their support, we wouldn’t be here.
Although our supporters may come from different backgrounds or have varied priorities, they all share a common goal: tackling the issues across our society that are eroding democracy and driving inequality. They support our work to hold those in power accountable, uncover new evidence to support positive change, and empower citizens.
The Bureau has experienced significant growth over the past three years, increasing our annual income to £2.8m and expanding to a team of more than 40 people. While the majority of our income comes from grants, there is strong potential for further fundraising growth, and we are actively working to diversify our funding streams beyond trusts and foundations.
This is an exciting time to join the Bureau as we continue to build on our strong relationships with existing supporters while exploring new funding opportunities.
Role and Responsibilities:
Support from trusts and foundations is our main source of philanthropic income so we are looking for somebody with experience in grants fundraising who can quickly apply their skills and expertise. You’ll work closely with our Development Director to report to and liaise with current funders, manage a pipeline of prospects and submit successful applications to secure new grants. You’ll also work closely with our other Fundraising Manager, who manages a pipeline focused on our environment, global health, and big tech work, and may be asked to work on these areas from time to time. In addition, you will support in building a major donor programme to diversify and strengthen our funding base. You will collaborate with colleagues at all levels across the organisation, from impact producers to reporters to finance and operations, in a supportive and welcoming culture that values teamwork and shared success.
As an excellent communicator, you will be able to take complex issues and translate them into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with funders and stakeholders. You will also be passionate about building strong relationships with our funders and supporters.
While experience in high net worth fundraising would be a valuable bonus, it is not essential. You don’t need to have raised funds for non-profit media before, but you do need to be excited by our work and able to express the Bureau’s key areas of work and impact in an accessible, accurate and compelling way. We’re a small team, so you’ll need the willingness to pitch in on fundraising tasks – big or small – to ensure the Bureau is in the best possible position to pursue its mission.
We envisage this as a full-time, primarily hybrid working role, working from our London office two/three times a week.
Skills and Experience
• Excellent fundraiser with a demonstrable track record of 3+ years’ experience successfully raising significant funds for charities or non-profits and managing relationships with funders (foundations - essential, high net worth individuals - desirable);
• Strong background in managing grants admin, including due diligence and processing agreements;
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, able to speak and write English fluently;
• Great analytical skills, with experience of researching and identifying new funding sources for various projects;
• Ability to work to tight deadlines and manage multiple priorities;
• Experience of working with databases and funding pipelines;
• Exceptional time management skills, a professional attitude and meticulous attention to detail;
• Resourceful and able to think creatively with strong problem solving skills;
• Strong interpersonal skills, able to collaborate at all levels across the organisation.
• Experience in securing funds for journalism, social justice, civil society, human rights or related causes, particularly from UK funders, is desirable but not essential;
Benefits - what we offer
• 25 days annual leave
• Additional gifted leave during Christmas festive break
• Flexible working arrangements
• Hybrid working
• EAP - Employee assistance programme
• Enhanced sick pay
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after 12 months’ service
• Learning and development opportunities
• Cycle to work scheme
How to apply
The Bureau is committed to being an equal opportunity employer. We strive to create a welcoming, diverse, inclusive and adaptable environment where people are encouraged and supported to achieve their best. We welcome applications from those belonging to groups traditionally under-represented in the media. You don’t need to tick every box in this ad – we are committed to hiring people with potential.
