These roles will support the Head of Grants and be an integral part of the Grants Team at NHS Charities Together (NHS CT). An important aspect of these roles is to ensure the delivery of the grants programmes to member NHS charities, with a focus on providing positive impact for the NHS above and beyond statutory responsibility.

The postholders will be a key point of contact for grants queries, reviewing and assessing grant applications and ongoing relational grant management. They will prepare papers for grant reviews by the Grants Advisory and Review Panel, summarising grant applications for grant meeting consideration and Board review. The postholders will enhance our offer to member charities through the development and delivery of Grants+ support and input into future grant strategies and programmes. This is an exciting time to join this small but agile team.

We are looking for two members to join our team, one Senior Grants Officer (permanent contract) Circa £30,000 and one Grants Officer (1 yr fixed term contract) circa £25,000.

We distribute the donations we’ve raised through a grants framework via our 240 NHS charity members and wider network. We have a national impact by working with our members, in collaboration with the Department of Health and a variety of other stakeholders in healthcare, to support the NHS to go above and beyond for patients, staff, volunteers and local communities.

We recognise the wide ranging and holistic nature of the health sector and have a particular focus on encouraging partnership working across our communities in providing the very best impact to support the health of our nation.

We’re uniquely placed to understand, through our engagement with both our members and the wider system, where the needs are and where our grants can fund initiatives to be most impactful nationally.

These vital funds and services are above and beyond what the NHS alone can provide, touching lives and making a huge difference to millions of people when they are at their most vulnerable.

Sufra NW London is a Community Hub that provides a lifeline to people in crisis – including families living in extreme poverty and people who are vulnerable, homeless or socially isolated. We provide them with the food and support they need to survive, empower them to learn new skills and improve their wellbeing, and help them to find work and become financially stable.

Our core work focuses on providing emergency food aid through our Food Bank and Community Kitchen, but these are gateway services that enable our service users (we call them guests) to access a wider range of services and activities designed to address the root causes of poverty and homelessness. Our services include:

• Food Bank: Last year, we provided emergency food aid to around 3,000 people who cannot afford the basic cost of living. Access is strictly by referral from one of our 60 registered local referral agencies and guests are typically limited to four food parcels a year.
• Community Kitchen: We serve a freshly cooked three-course vegetarian meal every Friday evening. (pre covid) Referrals are not required; the service is open to the community. Last year we served over 2,000 meals, mainly to people who are homeless, socially isolated, food bank users or those in debt or claiming benefits.
• Welfare Advice Service: Our Advice Worker helps people address the underlying problems that led them to our Food Bank – such as benefit disruptions, housing problems and other financial difficulties. The support we provide is ongoing and tailored to the needs of the individual – no matter how long it takes.
• Food Academy: This is an AQA accredited 6-week cookery course that teaches young people about nutrition and healthy eating as well as food preparation and kitchen skills. The course is designed to increase community cohesion, reduce social isolation and improve the health and wellbeing of the families we support.
• Refugee Support: Our Refugee Resettlement Programme helps newly arrived refugees and asylum seekers access the housing, healthcare, training and jobs they need to build a new life in the community. We offer cultural trips, access to ESOL classes, support groups, orientation classes and events to improve integration and independence. 
• Employment Training: We regularly run programmes designed to empower the long-term unemployed to find work by gaining professional skills and experience. Our accredited courses also help with CV writing, work experience and finding work.
• St. Raphael’s Edible Garden: We’ve worked with local residents to turn an abandoned space on the estate into a Community Garden, where we offer horticulture courses and volunteering opportunities for local residents and people with additional mental/physical health needs. The space includes a teaching tipi, a wildlife pond, a chicken coop (with 20 egg-laying hens), an orchard and an abundance of raised beds for growing vegetables and fruit.

Each of these services is designed to lead vulnerable people on a personal journey from crisis to economic stability, social inclusion and active participation in the community. We rely heavily on our dedicated volunteers to ensure that we can deliver our services, and we work closely with faith groups, schools and voluntary sector organisations who provide a wide range of additional support.

About the Role

We are recruiting a Grant Writer & Fund Researcher to lead on sourcing and pursuing potential funding opportunities, as well as writing and submitting grant applications alongside any supporting documentation. This role is primarily focussed on raising funds from grant making bodies including trusts and foundations, corporations and other organisations.

The successful candidate will have excellent writing skills with a particular flair for writing persuasive bids, be a confident communicator and an organised self-starter, with 3 years’ experience in a fundraising role and a proven track record of securing high value, multiyear funds.

This is an immensely rewarding role working in a dynamic charity built on an ethos of sharing, hospitality, and inclusivity. We are looking for an exceptionally committed individual who is willing to go the extra mile and has flexibility to work to tight deadlines. Through your activities, you will be able to convey the charity’s passion and commitment to supporting vulnerable people and demonstrate the impact of our interventions in transforming the lives of beneficiaries.

Flexible working hours/days are available to fit around childcare or other needs, including some home working.

Do you enjoy finding creative and proactive ways to build relationships with new and existing funders? We’re looking for a talented person to join our fundraising team to provide exceptional support on grant applications, management and reporting. 

About the Bureau

The Bureau is the UK’s largest independent investigative journalism organisation. It exists to inform the public about the realities of power in today’s world. Our investigations seek to expose systemic wrongs, challenge misinformation and spark change. With no corporate or political agenda, we bring to light serious issues affecting individuals and communities in the UK and around the world. We work strategically and collaboratively to maximise the impact of our reporting and share our findings openly with local, national and international media outlets to reach as many people as possible.

Our fundraising 

At the Bureau, our funders and supporters are absolutely vital. We’re entirely funded through grants and donations so - put simply - without their support, we wouldn’t be here. 

Though they may have very different backgrounds or priorities, all our supporters have a shared desire to tackle issues across our society that are corroding democracy and driving inequality. They support our investigations in order to hold those with power to account, uncover new evidence that could be used to support positive change and empower citizens. Over the last few years we’ve grown significantly as an organisation in terms of our impact, our outlook and our size. We’ve already secured major investment to support ambitious plans for 2021, and now we’re looking to sustain and grow this success further.

About the role 

Support from trusts and foundations is our main source of philanthropic income so this role is a central new addition to our team. We are looking for someone with experience in grants fundraising who can apply their skills and expertise quickly. You’ll work closely with our Development Director to report to and liaise with current funders, and to manage a pipeline of prospects and submit successful applications to secure new grants.  At this important time for fundraising at the Bureau, you’ll need to have the drive to seek out and maximise a wide range of funding opportunities. You will work collaboratively with people at all levels across the organisation, from impact producers to reporters to finance and operations. An excellent communicator, you will also be passionate about building strong relationships with our funders and supporters. 

You don’t have to have raised funds for non-profit media, but you do need to be able to get to grips with the Bureau’s key areas of work and impact, and be able to articulate this in a way that is accessible, accurate and compelling. Good knowledge of the trusts and foundations landscape - particularly in the UK, EU and US - is essential and an understanding of public interest journalism would be a distinct advantage. Although primarily focused on grants fundraising, we envisage this role will grow to include wider project and partnership development. We’re a small team so you’ll need a willingness to muck in on fundraising tasks big or small to ensure the Bureau is in the best position possible to pursue our mission.

Essential:

• Excellent grant fundraiser with a demonstrable track record of 5+ years experience of successfully raising significant funds for charities or non-profits and managing relationships with/reporting to funders;

• Great analytical and writing skills, able to work with complex information and data to create compelling narratives for applications and reports;

• Strong background in managing grants admin including due diligence and processing agreements;

• Excellent oral and written communication, able to speak and write English fluently;

• Experience of researching and identifying new funding sources for different projects;

• An established knowledge of the grant and trust fundraising landscape;

• Ability to work to tight deadlines and manage multiple priorities;

• Experience of working with databases and funding pipelines;

• Excellent computer skills with own computer, webcam/mic and internet at home;

• Exceptional time management skills, a professional attitude and meticulous attention to detail;

• Resourceful and able to think creatively with strong problem solving skills.

Desirable:

• Specific experience in securing funds for journalism, social justice, civil society or human rights;

• Understanding of the important role public interest reporting plays in supporting a strong civil society.

The Bureau is committed to being an equal opportunity employer. We strive to create a diverse, inclusive and adaptable environment where people are encouraged and supported to do their best work.
