Are you our new Grants Manager?
- Are you committed to defending human rights and human dignity, and interested in issues affecting marginalised and excluded people?
- Are you passionate about social justice and believe in the agency of people to create change?
- Do you have a personal and/or professional connection to one or more of our priority areas, and experience or understanding of grant making?
- Are you emotionally intelligent and able to form and develop strong working relationships with a range of individuals and groups?
If so, then you might be the right person to join the AB Charitable Trust at this exciting time.
Our priorities and approach
- The human rights framework
- The criminal legal system
- Migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum
- Access to justice
The A B Charitable Trust exists to promote human dignity and defend the human rights of the most marginalised and excluded people. Our approach is founded on liberal principles of universalism and human rights. We believe in justice, not charity. For us, this means supporting work that promotes rights and does not diminish dignity. It also means supporting efforts to change the systems that shape the lives of marginalised and excluded people in pernicious ways. We have a particular interest in work that uses the law to address inequities and injustices.
Our journey
The Trust was founded 35 years ago to promote and defend human dignity. Since then, we have given over £47m to organisations, and this year we will spend some £10m. We have significantly increased our grantmaking over recent years and intend to continue on a trajectory of growth. This role will join us as we look to the longer term future and begin to develop a new strategy that will build on all that is being achieved through our current strategy, which ends in 2027.
We are excited by the future and are fortunate to have a modest but growing budget which is expected to reach £15m by 2027. But we are realistic about the challenges involved. The areas we work in are highly politicised and the need is ever increasing, which is why it is important that we attract candidates who are able to help us navigate these waters and who can contribute to maximising our impact at this critical moment.
About the role and you
The key purpose of this role is to:
- Effectively manage a portfolio or grants across all of our priority areas
- Work closely with the team, grant holders and Board members, developing strong and supportive working relationships
- Contribute to the development of our new strategy and be committed to our values and share our aspirations around best grantmaking practice
The new Grants Manager will need to be genuinely interested in grantmaking in our priority areas and will have the curiosity to learn and develop new areas of knowledge and expertise. You will need to be able to demonstrate a passion for the work of small, grassroots organisations, have emotional intelligence and strong communications skills, and also be genuinely excited about joining our team.
This could be the right opportunity for a range of potential candidates. We value the knowledge and expertise gained through lived experience of social injustice alongside sector experience. We’re not looking for a seasoned grant maker but you will need to bring commitment to our work and vision, demonstrate experience of seeking to bring about change on tough issues, and have experience of one or more of our priority areas.
If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role then please contact Allyson Davies, who is advising on this appointment.
We value, welcome and respect all the differences that make us who we are, including: age, cultural background, disability and mental health, ethnicity and race, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and social background.
