You'll be responsible for efficiently and effectively supporting the work of the team to diversify Ambition Institute's income across multiple funding streams. You'll also play an important role in supporting the team across all parts of the process to contribute to responses to government tenders, grands and funding applications.
Who are Ambition Institute?
A great teacher changes the future every day. Especially for children who have had a tough start in life, a teacher can be the critical factor in their success.
At Ambition Institute we help schools tackling educational disadvantage to keep getting better and help their teachers and school leaders to become more expert over time.
That’s how we’ll make sure every child gets a great education and the best possible start in life.
- We train teachers and leaders at all levels to get better at the things that make the biggest difference: what you teach, how you teach it, and how you create the conditions for schools to thrive.
- We share what works. Everyone can benefit from evidence of how great teaching and leadership can improve schools and change lives, so we connect people to the latest research and best practice.
- We champion every teacher and school leader’s potential to develop, as the driving force for sustainable school improvement.
We would like you to:
- Support the team to identify and pursue funding opportunities across all income streams.
- Coordinate and maintain the opportunity pipeline for all bids and grant applications, supporting the team to manage and have good visibility of pipeline
- Support the delivery of funder bids, applications, proposals and EOIs, delivering high-quality content and materials to secure funding.
- Support the team in working with internal stakeholders on proposals, reporting, engagement opportunities, as well as to develop new projects and products, ensuring donor requirements are accounted for and met.
Working in a hybrid way, you’ll be attached to either our Birmingham, London or Manchester office and will report to the Development Manager. In line with our current ways of working, you’ll be expected to be in the office at least 1 day a month, in addition to team days and this may be reviewed by Ambition.
Skills, Knowledge and Experience
To succeed in this role you'll have proven experience of supporting the submission of funding proposals. You'll also demonstrate experience of using CRM systems to manage funder details, contact and pipeline for bid and grant applications.
It's essential that you have experience planning the delivery of external reports to a high standard. Whilst it's desirable that this experience be obtained in a development/fundraising environment it is not essential for applying to this role.
If you have an ability to work flexibly in a fast-moving environment, managing multiple competing priorities whilst meeting deadlines effectively, we welcome an application from you.
What’s in it for you….?
