Who we are

Grant Assessment Manager

£37,000 - £40,000 per annum (dependent on skills and experience) plus generous benefits

Fixed Term Contract until 31 May 2025.

Location: home-based, with occasional travel to Football Foundation office and funded sites.

We are the Football Foundation - the Premier League, the FA and government’s charity that delivers outstanding grassroots facilities, more and better places to play, transforming lives and communities where it is needed most. 

To help us with this important mission, we currently have a vacancy for up to two temporary Grant Assessment Managers to join us for a fixed term until 31 May 2025. This is an exciting role for those with grant management and grant assessment experience to use their skills to support grassroots community sports.

About the Football Foundation

Over the last 22 years, the Foundation has awarded more than 23,000 grants to deliver outstanding grassroots facilities across England worth more than £877 million. This year, the Foundation will be investing more money than ever into facilities across England and is committed to improving the experience of playing football for everyone. 

The Foundation’s goal is to unlock the power of pitches ensuring everyone has a great place to play regardless of gender, race, disability or place. 

The role

Our Grant Assessment Managers form part of a centralised Grant Assessment function – a flexible and adaptable team which provides critique and assessment of applications submitted to the Football Foundation and Premier League Stadium Fund for capital and revenue grants, working within short timescales. In addition to the core function, Grant Assessment Managers are required to undertake Post Award Support to ensure the objectives of our grants are being met. This involves both face-to-face and remote meetings with grant recipients, where an assessment of delivery of outcomes, KPI measures and compliance with grant terms and conditions is made.

What are we looking for?

You don’t have to be a football fan to join the Foundation, but you must have a detailed understanding of grant application and grant giving processes and governance, coupled with an ability to effectively apply this knowledge to provide high levels of customer service. You’ll have experience of critiquing and assessing grant applications, as well as an understanding of the operations, requirements and challenges faced by community organisations, statutory bodies and not-for-profits.

You must have strong communication and interpersonal skills with experience of communicating with and supporting a diverse range of colleagues and applicants remotely, as well as experience of producing detailed reports for decision-makers.

Grant Assessment Managers must be highly organised, with the ability to respond flexibly to changing priorities, adapting their approach for each programme to ensure governance and compliance requirements are met.

What can we offer you?

The salary for this role is £37,000-£40,000 per annum, dependent on relevant skills and experience.

You will start on 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, plus additional time off to volunteer. We also offer a generous pension scheme (8% employer contribution), collective bonus scheme, free health care provision, a monthly gym subsidy, interest-free season ticket loan, death in service benefit and access to selected match tickets

We are committed to helping our team members maintain a healthy work-life balance, so offer flexible working around core hours to help achieve that.

The Football Foundation is committed to, and values the principles of diversity, equality, and inclusion. We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive working environment where all our team feel respected and supported in fulfilling their potential.

Migrant Democracy Project Vision and Values
Migrant Democracy Project is building migrants’ political power in the UK. We are registering migrants to vote, campaigning for everyone to have the right to vote, and getting more migrants elected! The Electoral Organiser is essential in delivering our MPower - Political Leadership training programme, supporting first-generation migrants to stand for election, and creating
infrastructure of power for their electoral success. The MPower Programme aims to create a new generation of migrant political leaders in the UK.

We believe that our power comes from our lived experiences, community connections, and core values. We want to support migrants getting elected to create a fairer society for everyone. The Electoral Organiser will bring their political organising vision to this role by recruiting the next cohort of participants, creating a training plan for a new generation of migrant candidates to get elected, and supporting their communities’ ongoing needs. We believe our power comes from the community, so electoral organising and community organising go hand-in-hand. The Electoral Organiser will work and train our migrant candidates to become leaders and win for and with their communities.

Responsibilities

1. Delivering the MPower - Political Leadership Training Programme

• Strategise and design the second MPower Political Leadership Programme.
• Organise training sessions with migrant communities, considering needs of participants, suitable speakers, and employing engaging facilitation methods.
• Review the MPower Political Leadership pilot programme and set out recommendations for the next cohort.
• Strategically plan the geographical areas the next programme will be active in and how many participants will be in the programme.
• Run the recruitment of the next cohort of participants by engaging with civil society organisations, social media, and other recruitment channels.
• Schedule, plan, and organise the training sessions. This will be a mix of online and offline activities. This will include organising an in-person launch event as well as end-of-programme graduation event.
• Maintain open and regular communication with the training cohort, including coaching participants, collecting feedback, and being the main point of contact to resolve participants’ needs.
• Keep a record of training session attendance and participant queries.
• Work with the Director of Operations on implementing the MPower programme budget (speaker fees, venue costs, stipends use, etc.).

2. Leading on Migrant Democracy Project’s work in the electoral space

• One-to-one coaching and practical support for former and current MPower Political Leadership candidates on key campaigning skills such as voter registration, canvassing, media engagement, mobilisation of supporters, and more.
• Organising voter registration drives with MPower programme participants and graduates in key locations.
• Attending stakeholder meetings in the democracy sector related to migrant voter registration, political representation, and diversity in politics.

3. Administrative tasks

• Attend regular progress meetings with the Executive Director.
• Contribute to relevant funder evaluation reports linked to the role’s activities.
• Represent Migrant Democracy Project at relevant events when required.

Qualifications

We are looking for a proactive, confident, flexible, and well-organised person with the following skills:

• Excellent knowledge of the UK political system and the main political parties, including the candidacy processes, at least at the local level.
• Proven experience in an electoral organiser role, either for a candidate, party, or issue.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with a special focus on interpersonal skills that build up other people’s confidence and trust with the organiser and the organisation.
• Excellent administrative and planning skills, including dealing with last-minute changes to events.
• Knowledge of the UK immigration system and experience working with migrant communities, including campaign or support groups.
• Experience delivering or facilitating training sessions.
• Experience in coaching people.
• Good social media skills.
• Excellent knowledge of IT systems and online platforms, such as Zoom, Google Drive, Calendly, etc.

The following experiences would be helpful, although not necessary:

• Experience of organising training sessions with migrant communities.
• Experience producing campaign social media and media content.
• Knowledge of languages other than English.
• Knowledge of campaign strategies and theories of organising.

We particularly encourage applicants from people with lived experience of migration to apply for this role. Although most training sessions will be online, there will be some in-person activity in London and other areas where the cohort of programme participants will live. Ideally, this role would suit a person based in Greater London.
