ABOUT GRACE

In the UK 21,000 women a year are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. That’s 58 women each day, and of these 21 will die. These cancers make up some of the most common and most fatal diseases that women face, but despite this, gynaecological cancer is neither high profile, nor well funded.

GRACE is a small charity here in Guildford, doing incredible things to improve women's treatment and recovery, keeping local Surrey/Hampshire/Sussex women’s cancer treatment near home and easier to access at a time where their health is already impaired. GRACE also has a mission to raise awareness of these cancers and their symptoms (or lack thereof) to better equip and encourage women to seek early intervention.

When we lose women, families are destroyed. At GRACE we believe our cause should matter to everyone, because our mothers, grandmothers. wives, sisters, nieces and daughters deserve the best outcomes should they ever face the frightening diagnosis of a gynaecological cancer.

Spearheading and supporting the growth of income, you'll take the lead on trusts and grants and nurture an already healthy income stream to reach its full potential.

With a strong focus on communication and writing skills, you'll manage and monitor your own workload and relationships and be timely and efficient with reporting. It's a 360-degree trusts role, so you'll also enjoy working with service delivery teams to gather detail, develop analytics and improve processes.

Who are we looking for?
Ideally someone with previous trusts experience, although we'd be happy to consider candidates from other income streams (community, corporate, major gifts) looking to forge a career in trusts. We'd also be open to bid writing candidates from the private sector with transferable skills. You'll be naturally inquisitive and always keen to learn and develop your skills, keeping abreast of trends and developments in the grant-making field.

Based from Cardiff office and open to partial homeworking. Flexible employer with life and family-friendly culture. Condensed hours, a 9-day fortnight and 4 days per week are all possible for the right candidate.

We're looking to move quickly with this opportunity, as the charity is currently supporting the NHS with essential COVID-19 efforts.

Please get in touch as soon as possible with a copy of your CV for lots more detail. Our regional specialist for Wales, Amelia Lee, is managing this opportunity: [email protected]
