You will be providing guidance on how to answer the questions on the forms and useful information to include. It may occasionally include filling in the form with the family/young person when they are not able to complete it themselves

Volunteer: Data & Analytics / Funding Research Assistant
Jawbone Collective CIC
We are seeking a detail-oriented and analytical volunteer to support our data-driven decision-making and fundraising efforts. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys researching, organising information, and using data to tell a meaningful story — especially within a creative, community-focused arts environment.
You will help us collect, interpret, and present data that demonstrates our impact to funders, partners, and stakeholders. You’ll also contribute to researching grant opportunities, supporting funding bids, and strengthening our ability to secure financial resources for future programmes and accessible literary initiatives.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Assist in gathering data related to audience engagement, workshop participation, reach, and impact
-
Organise and present data clearly (charts, reports, summaries, insights)
-
Contribute to the development of evidence-based funding bids and grant applications
-
Research new funding sources including grants, trusts, donors, and corporate partners
-
Help maintain accurate records and metrics related to growth, performance, and community reach
-
Work collaboratively with our leadership team and provide data insights that support strategic planning
Ideal Candidate:
-
Strong analytical and organisational skills
-
Experience with spreadsheets, CRM tools, or analytical software is beneficial (but not required)
-
Some familiarity or interest in funding applications, research, or bid writing
-
Able to translate raw data into meaningful insight
-
An interest in arts, culture, and the social importance of accessible literature
What You’ll Gain by Joining Us:
You’ll become part of a collaborative and vibrant creative community where your ability to work with data has tangible cultural impact. Working within a poetic and literary organisation, you’ll see firsthand how numbers can reveal stories of growth, inclusion, and transformation. Your contributions will help secure real opportunities for emerging and underrepresented writers, and you’ll gain experience that strengthens your skills in fundraising, analytics, and nonprofit decision-making — all while supporting a mission rooted in creativity, equity, and community connection.
Time Commitment:
-
Flexible based on your availability — approximately 4–8 hours per week
-
Remote working — with optional involvement in in-person activities in the Southwest if you wish
Benefits:
-
Build portfolio-ready experience in analytics and nonprofit funding
-
Develop skills in bid writing and grant research
-
Gain insight into arts-based community development
-
Be part of a welcoming, inclusive organisation where every contribution matters
