Job description

The Seafarers’ Charity is the leading fundraising and grant‑making charity dedicated to improving the lives of seafarers and their families. For over 100 years, we have supported those who work at sea by funding vital welfare services and driving long‑term, systemic change across the maritime sector.

We are now seeking an experienced Grants Manager to lead the delivery of our annual grant‑making programme and play a key role in achieving our Thrive strategy.

About the role

Reporting to the Impact Director, the Grants Manager will manage an annual grants programme of approximately £3 million, overseeing the full grants lifecycle from application and assessment through to monitoring, evaluation and learning. You will build strong relationships with funded partners, prepare robust funding recommendations for Trustees, and ensure our grant‑making is effective, proportionate and aligned with best practice.

You will also line manage an Impact Executive (0.4 FTE) and work closely with colleagues across the organisation to share learning, evidence impact and support wider fundraising and advocacy work.

About you

You will bring:

  • Experience working in a charity, trust or grant‑making environment
  • Proven experience managing grant programmes and the full grants lifecycle
  • Strong analytical and organisational skills, with confidence reviewing budgets and financial information
  • Experience using grant management or CRM systems
  • Excellent communication and relationship‑building skills
  • A collaborative, proactive approach and a strong commitment to improving outcomes for seafarers

Knowledge of the maritime or fishing sectors, experience working with Trustees, or relevant professional training is welcomed but not essential.

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a friendly, inclusive organisation of around 20 staff, working in a hybrid model from our London office. We are proud of our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds.
