Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with Resonance Ltd., a fellow B Corp who provide life changing homes and solutions for people and communities facing crisis. Resonance is looking for a Relationship Assistant (Social Investment Funding) to support across a portfolio of capital grant investments as well as managing their own smaller portfolio.
The role is offered as a contract until March 2025 on a hybrid basis and you will be assigned to one of our offices in either Launceston, Bristol, London or Manchester. There is a requirement to attend your assigned office twice a week alongside a monthly face to face meeting every 2 months. Additional travel will also be required as part of grant project management and Partnership engagement. The role is offered as a 9 day fortnight and has a great deal of flexibility with core hours 9 – 3.30pm.
Resonance is a social impact property fund manager. Launched in 2002 with the mission of connecting capital to social enterprise. We are proud to be a B Corp and of our 20-year track record of impact investing. The Youth Investment Fund (YIF) is part of our eco-system and is a £368 million fund created by the UK government to create, expand and improve youth facilities and services in England to drive positive outcomes for young people. The Youth Investment Fund (YIF) is being delivered by a partnership between Social Investment Business, The Key Fund, National Youth Agency and Resonance.
Together, we are delivering grants for up to 300 facilities in selected eligible areas across England by 2025 that represent positive value for money, are environmentally sustainable and enable positive activities for young people aged 11–18 (up to 25 for young people with SEND). This funding will drive value-for-money facilities that youth organisations can then afford to sustain. Using innovative construction techniques, as well as supporting redevelopment projects that expand youth service provision, the Youth Investment Fund will achieve savings on facility running costs, so that resources can focus on activities that enrich young people’s lives. It will support projects to level up youth provision, assessing and distributing grants so that local youth facilities and services can be the best they can be.
Reporting to the Senior Relationship Manager (Youth Investment Fund) and supporting the other Relationship Managers, this role plays an important part in the provision of capital grants to our charity customers working in the youth sector as part of the Youth Investment Fund (YIF). You will take responsibility for ensuring key data points are kept up to date on our Salesforce database and working with grantees to ensure that they log key project updates (e.g. project forecasts, planned transactions, construction status, start and end dates). Furthermore, you will support the collection, review and report on monitoring information from grant recipients which is predominantly financial information (management accounts, annual accounts and forecasts) and construction progress reports. There will be the opportunity to manage a small portfolio of your own capital grant investments. Key to success in this role will be adopting Resonance’s continuous improvement and learning ethos.
The right candidate will be a strong team player with previous experience of grants administration, particularly in the context of government funding programmes and/or experience of capital funding. This is a great opportunity for someone to be involved in making a difference to young people. You will be proactive and can work well both autonomously and as part of a team and you should be flexible, adaptable and able to manage competing priorities. The Relationship Assistant will hold a track record of managing and working with a portfolio of organisations and thrive in using databases and interpreting and understanding data in a range of formats. Knowledge of the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector, particularly the youth sector and/or knowledge of construction projects, real estate or property would be desirable but not essential.
Here at Resonance, we believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all.
