We are seeking a Funding Programme Officer to join our small, friendly team.

 

As Funding Programme Officer, you will play an important role in the Foundation’s work to support our partner organisations in building a better economy, primarily through grant giving.

 

We are looking for someone who has experience of working in the charity or community sector and is interested in applying their experiences to the world of funding. We need someone who is highly organised, a good communicator, good at making judgements and decisions, and who can handle conversations with the public with sensitivity and tact.

 

The post can be partly home-based, but we do require weekly (one day minimum) attendance at our office in central York. The role involves some occasional travel within the UK to attend Trustee meetings and other events.

 

If you share our values and ambitions and are interested in joining our team please download the application pack.

 

We see this as a role that the right candidate can grow and develop in, so we do not necessarily require previous grant-making skills. We know that often people can feel reluctant to apply for a role if they don’t meet all the criteria on the job description or if they have had a gap in their career. We would encourage you to apply if you think you’d be a good match for the job and can demonstrate relevant transferable experience, even if you don’t match to every aspect of the job description.

 

We are committed to being an inclusive employer, where equity and social justice is one of our central domains in creating a fair economy. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds including age, disability, class, race, sexuality, and gender identity. If you have a disability and would like to request an application form in a different format, or discuss your application at any point, please contact [email protected].
