Administrator jobs in lambeth, greater london

The organisation is a grant-making charity, established in 2020. Our charitable aim is to transform young people’s mental health support in the UK.

Our vision is for a world where no young person is defined by their mental illness, and where they have access to the right support at the right time. We also want to strengthen organisations in the field and support the wider sector working to advance better mental health for young people. Our focus is on those young people who face particular need.

We award grants of approximately £8m a year. Grants are to youth, mental health and community charities working on the frontline with young people, universities and institutes to research better treatments for mental ill health and advocate for improvements. It is our intention to make a significant and long-term impact to young people in the UK.

Prospectus is proud to be working with the trust to recruit a new Grants Manager to join the team.

The role is offered on a full-time (minimum 0.8 FTE) basis with flexible working and the option of up to 25% of hours worked from home.

The role:
This is a key role at the organisation which will help bolster the capacity of our Grants Team. Reporting to the Head of Grants, the main purpose of the role will be to contribute to the smooth and efficient running of our grant-making activities.

This position would be ideal for someone taking their first step up into a Grants Manager role, with the successful candidate managing and monitoring a portfolio of grants and grant relationships from across our funded organisations, supporting the team with assessment of potential new grants, conducting research to inform future grant rounds, and carrying out day-to-day grants administration including via our Salesforce database.

This is a chance to join an organisation in the early years of its life, to contribute to shaping our grant-making and make an impact in an area you are passionate about.

The person:
The successful candidate will have a proven track record in grant-making in the charity sector, ideally having worked for a Trust, Foundation or Grant-making organisation which supports charities in the UK which strive to improve people’s lives.  This will have included experience of carrying out due diligence/charity analysis, grant monitoring, making funding recommendations and managing relationships with young people and stakeholders from a wide range of backgrounds. Exposure to youth mental health or a related field will be useful but not essential for the role.

This person will have exceptional levels of emotional maturity, discretion and diplomacy and will be an excellent communicator both verbally and in writing. An outstanding administrator with proven IT skills including MS Office, video conferencing and databases, this person will also have a keen eye for detail, the ability to multi-task and to plan ahead and to prioritise effectively. Whilst being able to process quite complex information easily, this person will be able to communicate simply and positively and will have a “can do” approach to their work. Experience of guiding and advising grant applicants will be important in addition to being responsive to others’ needs whilst being flexible and adaptable in a constantly evolving environment.

This role presents a fantastic opportunity to join this great organisation at a pivotal point in its development and offers plenty of room for professional development whilst working, learning and collaborating with an experienced, professional and friendly team.
