Working across a range of funds and programmes, you will perform numerous actions such as answering applicant enquiries, assessing applications, managing award communications and delivering pre-application support. Your work will ensure applications move smoothly through the process and that every applicant receives a fair, accessible and inclusive experience.
Alongside delivering high-quality support, you'll help us continuously improve the experience we offer.
