GRANTS ADMINISTRATOR 
 
£36,000 to £38,000 per annum (depending on experience)
Mill Hill, London NW7 – Largely office based with potential for some flexibility
Full Time (37.5 hours per week) | Permanent

The Laing Family Trusts are a group of four grant-making trusts which provide funding for a wide range of charities engaged in promoting Christian faith and values and in the relief of poverty both in the UK and overseas.
 
The Trusts are going through an exciting time of transition, with changes in our staff team, new Trustees, a planned move to a new database which will facilitate the introduction of online processes, and the launch of exciting new funding programmes – Constructive Pioneers, encouraging science and engineering innovation in the built environment, and a place-based programme on the Isle of Wight-, all contributing to the organisation’s growth as we prepare for the future. The Grants Administrator role will be a crucial support to these developments. 

This is an excellent opportunity to gain administrative experience and knowledge of the voluntary sector in a small but busy and friendly environment, learning how grant-makers work to support charities helping those in need.

The successful candidate will be actively involved in the grant-making process as the first point of contact for a wide range of people communicating with the Trusts and will be responsible for looking after the database which supports this process. Initiative, flexibility and the confidence to work independently are essential for this role. Could this be you?

If you have excellent administrative skills, a highly organised approach to work and enjoy communicating with a wide variety of people, then we’d love to hear from you.
