About Abbey Community Association:

The Abbey Community Association is a registered charity located in the heart of Westminster. The Abbey Community Association is a charity established in 1948, which supports the communities of south Westminster to improve their quality of life. Our focus is the households with priority needs living in the wards of Churchill, Tachbrook, Vincent Square, Warwick and St James. The south of Westminster is characterised by households living in concentrated areas of acute deprivation in close proximity to some of the wealthiest households in the UK. This diversity presents unique challenges for our communities, expressed in perceptions of low community cohesion and access to affordable food, services and housing. We work in partnership with organisations that share our ethics, values and passion for social justice to promote improved health and wellbeing for local vulnerable residents and families; and to increase inter-community and generational understanding and connections.

The charity has been based in and manages the Abbey Centre since 1991, located in the heart of historic Westminster, as a vibrant community hub buzzing with diverse activities and services. The Centre’s five-storey building is managed as a social enterprise, providing conference and training venues to corporate clients, with a friendly in-house café and catering service to generate funds to support our charitable work.

• Information advice and guidance
• Support into education and training to gain accreditation/certification
• Support into volunteering, placements, paid employment and self-employment
• Extra-curricular activities for physical and mental well-being
• Signposting and referral to other services to improve their health and well-being

• Design and develop an assessment plan and tools in line with the project manager and senior management at the Abbey Centre to carry out the overall study
• Be literate to generate qualitative and quantitative data from Upshot or be willing to learn the CRM system before the evaluation starts – approximately 4 hour-training provided
• Work closely with the WoW delivery team to generate appropriate data and collection methods to assist in the evaluation; this includes the collection of case studies

Are you an experienced Grants Manager? Are you passionate about helping make a real difference to people's lives?

Charity People are excited to be working again with a small but well established charity based in the heart of London to find them a permanent Grant Giving Manager, an integral role to the organisation, whose mission is to help improve lives of families and children by giving them grants.

Recent times with Covid 19 has brought about more enquiries than usual so this is a real exciting time to join and to make a key difference by giving grants to the people who need it most and who lay at the heart of this interesting charity. Your role will be to assistant and manage their grant applications from start to finish and help the charity to continue to grow.

This role requires someone who has lots of empathy, strong relationship building and people skills, who can work flexibly and adapt easily.

To be considered for this post which is integral to this small charity, they really are wanting the successful candidate to have worked in the same role, at a similar level and ideally have worked in a family and people orientated charity. Processes are already in place so they really require someone who can step in at a busy time and who has thorough knowledge in this field who can roll their sleeves up, promote learning and push the charity forward even more so. You will bring an array of skills such as, data protection, advanced Microsoft Office skills, knowledge of CRM systems (ideally ACT) and strong evaluation skills.

Given Covid 19, this post will be interviewed via phone, and initially you will work at home five days per week, but once the charity deems safe to return to the office (probably around August/ September) you will be working in the office five days per week, after a three month probation period there is certainly room for home working days/ flexible working discussions once you are settled in to the post.

Due to the amount of response we receive, unfortunately we are not able to give feedback to every applicant, if you have not heard back within 5 days from the application deadline please assume that you have not been successful for the role you have applied for.

Please note this role has a salary range of £30,000 - £35,000 per annum. There is no room to dicuss a higher salary.
