Grants Programme Administrator Jobs in Bristol

Engineers Against Poverty (EAP) is a leader in infrastructure and international development with strong links with development agencies, government and industry. We develop research, policy and practice in infrastructure investment, labour standards, climate change, transparency and accountability and local content in line with our mission to help reduce and eventually eliminate poverty.

EAP is seeking a self-motivated Programme Manager to help deliver quality results with its growing portfolio of programmes. Across the programmes you oversee, you’ll be responsible for coordinating their successful delivery of quality results.  Initially you will focus on an anti-corruption programme funded by the US Government and EAP’s contribution towards FCDO’s Green Cities and Infrastructure programme. You will work with EAP's senior leadership and its advisors, project partners and beneficiaries, funders and other stakeholders to maximise positive impact. You’ll strengthen EAP's programmes by managing specific budgets, KPIs, project plans, sub-grants and monitoring and evaluation efforts using established systems.

The programmes and projects you will work on will vary and evolve over time, as we strengthen donor and client relationships together. You’ll also have a role in shaping our future work, contributing to business development by coordinating grant proposals, commercial bids and strategic partnerships. You will also help to organise board meetings and international workshops.

Across all our programmes, professional communication, branding of EAP and stakeholder (new) engagement and management is key. Programme delivery is rarely linear so you must be comfortable in rapidly evolving and dynamic environments.

The appointee will also take on for the same role for CoST, the Infrastructure Transparency Initiative – a transparency and accountability programme which operates in 20 countries and for which EAP hosts its International Secretariat. 

You will be working remotely with in-person team meetings usually held in London 4 to 5 times a year. We are open to candidates living outside of the UK.

If you wish to apply, pllease submit a CV with a one page covering letter by 10am GMT Monday 11 December 2023.

You will be responsible for overseeing the efficient and effective running of our three respite homes providing our wrap-round services:

• Stress busting Residential Respite Breaks, giving young carers the opportunity to make happy memories.
• Three- week SEAL education booster program including a four-day residential stay at Honeypot, to help young carers who struggle to progress in school due to poor confidence and self- belief that they can learn, to find the confidence that they can succeed in education.
• Wellbeing grants, for essential items no child should lack, such as a clean bed, or new school clothes.
• Face to face outreach including memory making days out at the beach, countryside, or fun park for young carers who never get this experience.
• Pastoral Care promoting the welfare of children and ensuring their needs are being met.
• Healthy Eating and Nutrition, for children who receive free school meals during term time but resort to sugary drinks and snacks during school holidays. Honeypot helps children to perfect a healthy signature dish and provides funds for the ingredients.
• Urgent Pastoral Care, for young carers and their families, who are struggling to cope.

As Operations Director you will be an integral part of the Senior Leadership Team with the responsibility of developing and embedding the new 3-year plan and the Charity’s values, ensuring service delivery supports the overall business strategy and plans of Honeypot, whilst meeting budget guidelines.

Please see the JD for full details.

This is a unique opportunity for a skilled administrator to join a lively, growing team in an emerging field. You’ll report to our Program Manager and support her with all aspects of grant administration, as well as providing administrative support for events, and for our Executive Team. 

‍The responsibilities of the Program Administrator role will include:‍

• Ensuring information about our grant calls, events and hiring rounds reach our audiences by updating our website, sending Mailchimp campaigns and reaching out to our networks in a variety of ways
• Responding to inquiries about our grant calls and events, and identifying FAQs to be published in our communications for the future 
• Initial grant application screening, including checking declared conflicts of interest and assigning grant applications to the review team 
• Undertaking routine due diligence enquiries for grant applications 
• Supporting the review teams and grantmaking committee by ensuring they have access to the documentation they need
• Making sure all documentation is complete, systematically named, and in the right place
• Booking venues and catering for our events, managing bookings, and supporting the delivery of online and in-person events
• Routine financial administration such as ensuring documents and receipts are uploaded to our online system 
• Booking transport and accommodation, and arranging some meetings for the Executive Team

‍The successful candidate will be expected to learn about all aspects of grant management, and about current priorities in Cooperative AI. We expect the focus of the role to develop over time, and for progression opportunities to emerge.

You are an experienced peacebuilder and manager of people and programmes, and have worked previously in Sudan.  You have proven ability in designing and adapting programmes, keeping them relevant and accountable in complex local contexts, ideally in Darfur.   

Concordis has worked in Sudan and South Sudan since we were formed as an organisation in 2004.  The devastation caused by the current war is heart-breaking, but it also reminds us of the vital importance of peacebuilding.   

Concordis continues to implement directly in South Darfur, with a team of eight national staff who remain in Darfur and three more working from outside the country.  The team consulted over 3,500 people before the war began and identified a network of 103 local peacebuilders across South Darfur.  We work alongside national partner Malam Darfur Peace and Development, and support local peacebuilders where conflict is fought and felt.  You’ll take on leadership of the team 18 months into the current EU grant.   

You also have a track record of engaging effectively and proactively with international donors, sharing analysis, communicating the vision and winning funds. You’ll use those skills as you adapt the current programme to meet entry points for peacebuilding, as you work with the team and local partners in designing the next steps, and as you work collaboratively with donors in keeping them on board.   

Despite the evident challenges, we see opportunities and an urgent need to support local peacebuilders in managing South Darfur’s myriad local conflicts, to prevent them escalating or from becoming instrumentalised in the war.  There are also emerging opportunities to expand on this programme elsewhere in Darfur, and with Darfuri herders displaced into South Sudan and beyond.

This will require visionary leadership and the skill and drive to navigate a way forward in the coming months and years.   Concordis’ peacebuilding programme in South Darfur is primarily about promoting peaceful coexistence amongst and between pastoralist groups and the settled population.  This mirrors our existing work over the border in Central African Republic, where we engage with some of the same pastoralists during the dry season, and complements our ongoing work along the border of Sudan and South Sudan, including in Abyei.

This work can demand a lot from all of us, and we have high expectations for the person in this post, but they’ll be part of a supportive team, leading an exciting programme, helping to make a measurable change for peace.

Please take care to complete the application form in full, as we’ll assess whether you meet the person specification based solely on the answers given in the application form.
