Shepherd’s Purse is a new grant making project of the English Province of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd.
The Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd is a Roman Catholic Organization of religious sisters who have been working with disadvantaged women in Britain since 1841.
The English Province of the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd is a registered charity – charity number 1163502.
As the number of sisters able to continue the work with women declines, the Congregation wishes to set up a grant making project to facilitate other charities working with women in distress to do the work we can no longer do ourselves.
We are seeking a Grants Administrator (not a fundraiser) who will set up and run the project for us.
You must have a compassion for women and girls on the margins of society. Our motto is “One person is worth more than a world”. There is no distinction between creed, colour, or sexual orientation. A woman in need is simply that – a woman in need. You must have considerable experience in the charity sector, preferably in a grant fundraising role, or experience in a grant-making role. You must also be discerning, able to communicate, computer literate and able to work alone.
The aim of the project will be to identify and provide grants to bona fide charities working with women in the UK and abroad through the Congregation to its missions overseas.
The headquarters of the Charity are in Salford (St. James House, Pendleton Way). You will work out of the office in Salford to begin with but be expected to travel to visit some of the Charities applying for grants. Once established, we would be open to you working from home and visiting the office at least once a month. Initially, the post will require 2/3 days per week but may become full time as the project becomes better known and used.
For an application form please contact:
The Secretary, Good Shepherd Sisters, Suite 23, Floor 5, St. James House, Pendleton Way, Salford M6 5FW
