About the Role
The primary focus of the Grants Officer is to support schools and youth organisations to operate the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme effectively and to promote, grow and deliver this and other Jack Petchey Foundation (JPF) grant programmes across London and Essex. This role will be largely responsible for London Boroughs across Central and South-West London, and act as the lead for specific uniform groups who deliver their activities cross-borough. Our work continually evolves, so we ask all Grants Officers to be flexible to allow us to rework geographical areas, as needed.
The Achievement Award Scheme is the Jack Petchey Foundation’s flagship programme, with more than 2,000 schemes being operated in more than 1,400 schools, colleges and youth organisations across London and Essex. Through the programme, we invest millions of pounds each year to support young people and youth work. This is an amazing chance for you to have a big impact across a large number of organisations.
The Achievement Award Scheme enables schools, colleges and youth organisations to recognise, reward and celebrate young people’s achievements. At the Jack Petchey Foundation, we are passionate about encouraging young people to raise their aspirations, believe in themselves and make a positive contribution to society. Our Achievement Awards are designed to recognise a wide range of achievement, not just those achieving academically but are also aimed at young people who are ‘doing their best’ or demonstrating leadership skills, resilience and determination.
The post holder will manage delivery of the scheme and associated small grants in an assigned area of London. They will be responsible for maintaining and developing positive relationships with schools and youth organisations. The role will involve significant travel to visit schools and youth organisations, as well as outreach and community engagement work to identify and support new groups to apply to join our scheme. This work will also require evenings and occasional weekend work, especially to carry out assessment and review visits with youth organisations and to participate in our Achievement Award celebration events.
The successful candidate would therefore be someone who has flexibility to travel, work out-of-office hours, enjoys building relationships and public speaking, as well as navigating a busy grants and assessment caseload (desk-based processing, telephone calls/emails, and daily use of a database). You will need to be happy to travel regularly around Central and South-West London, and to our office in Canary Wharf.
The Jack Petchey Foundation is an Equal Opportunities Employer and we seek to build a team that reflects the diverse communities we serve. We particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates as they are currently under-represented in our team.
Key Priorities of the Role:
• To promote and strengthen the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme and associated programmes (Leader Award Grants, Educational Visits and Learning Experiences, Environmental Awards and Partnership Programmes) in schools and youth organisations.
• To support schools and youth organisations to administer the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme to a high standard and maximise the positive impact it has on young people.
• To ensure that schools and youth organisations make maximum use of the small programmes and partnership programmes associated with the Jack Petchey Achievement Award Scheme.
• To ensure that accurate data is recorded on all Jack Petchey Foundation systems.
• To support programme growth, impact and reach by building stakeholder relationships in your assigned local area.
• To assess new applications and monitor the impact of the Achievement Award Scheme and small grants awarded.
• To work with your colleagues in the Grants Team to deliver excellent grant making, review and improve processes, and strengthen relationships with all Jack Petchey Foundation stakeholders.

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell, and their families, make the most of every day. The charity aspires to become a centre of clinical excellence for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
We’ve been on a major upward trajectory in recent years, with more children being supported, more major hospitals being partnered with and more supporters donating. We’ve transformed from being an enthusiastic start-up delivering care in the community, to a serious player delivering major impact both in the community and at our state-of-the-art hospice building, The Ark, opened in 2019.
Philanthropy, which covers Grants, Trusts & Foundations and Major Donor fundraising streams, is pivotal to Noah’s Ark, typically accounting for around 50% of the charity’s voluntary income. This is an area of real expertise for Noah’s Ark, with much scope for further refining. The successful candidate will therefore be instrumental in taking this key income stream forward, add to an exciting portfolio and gain further training and support, working as part of a high-performing and super supportive team, ready for its next development phase.
The Grants, Trusts & Foundations Manager will work closely with and report to the Head of Philanthropy to develop the Trust pipeline, along with instrumental cross-team work on applications and reporting processes for other income streams. Whilst we work towards developing a more diverse funding model and navigate changes to the external Trust environment, sustaining and growing income from Trusts will remain vital.
The post-holder will manage a Philanthropy Officer (Trusts & Major Donors) and, together, they will be instrumental in taking the Trust programme to the next level, establishing lasting relationships with funders, securing new grants, increasing multi-year gifts and improving both quality and volume of applications and reports. They will also support the Philanthropy Officer, and the wider team, to the same end with their respective portfolios.
ABOUT YOU
You will be a highly organised, dedicated and reliable individual ready to play a significant role in income generation. An exceptional and eloquent communicator, excellent at managing your time and a natural relationship builder. You will have a collaborative mindset, and be willing to engage with colleagues across the fundraising team and wider charity to create the greatest outcomes for the children and families we support.
You will have considerable experience fundraising from grant makers and will be able to demonstrate your success with securing high value gifts and building meaningful relationships. You will have confidence in your ability to make an impact through collaborative lateral thinking. You will also support other team members with their applications, as well as acting as a key liaison with our Care team to obtain latest information about service delivery.
If you have ample experience of fundraising from Trusts, have achieved outstanding success in a short period of time or have held a key position within a Trust programme, including securing numerous significant – ideally six-figure – grants, we would love you to apply.
Please refer to the Job description for further information on this role.

ABOUT THE ROLE
The Senior Development Manager (Trees for Streets) is the strategic development lead for our Trees for Streets programme. It is a unique and exciting programme that operates across the UK.
They are responsible for managing and optimising the programme, also known as ‘The National Street Tree Sponsorship Scheme’. They will ensure that this special and innovative initiative can flourish as a nationally significant programme, which gets noticed by decision makers and the public alike.
Through maximising the opportunities offered by Trees for Streets, they will play a pivotal role in securing major and fresh investment into streets. This will help transform streets into leafy, liveable places, ultimately mobilising partners and communities towards the planting and long-term stewardship of urban trees.
ABOUT TREES FOR CITIES
Trees for Cities is an ambitious, far-reaching organisation.
Trees for Cities is the only charity that focuses on planting, protecting and promoting urban trees across the UK. We are a rapidly growing and developing organisation that suits ambitious, dedicated and passionate staff. It’s an exciting time to join as we embark on a new 5-year strategy, which will see us launch a movement for urban trees and tree equity.
ABOUT YOU
A strategic mindset: This is a senior, highly collaborative and outward-facing role, which can shape and execute strategic decisions to increase the effectiveness of this special programme for us and our partners. You will have a strategic mindset, complemented by deep programme management experience. You will be confident in scoping and identifying development opportunities, whilst also providing effective management of a multi-scheme programme. You are confident with partners, and they feel involved and central to decision-making.
On partnerships: You will already be adept at high-level partnership management and correspondingly have advanced influencing and negotiating skills. You have a good sense for where synergy exists and are confident engaging people about opportunities. A business mindset and ways of working will be innate to you. Importantly, you can blend the financial and technical opportunities offered by sponsorship platforms with the strategic objectives of a charity to help change lives with trees and build movements for change.
Managing programme complexity: This is a complex programme, with a wide range of internal and external stakeholders. You won't be phased by that, because you enjoy collaborative working and know how to manage a diverse range of relationships towards a common purpose, especially when you are not directly responsible for their work. Being a complex programme, there is a lot to keep on top of, but you are a natural problem solver, and attention to detail matters to you.
On learning: You might not know a huge amount about trees, and that's fine (for now), but you are passionate about how sponsorship programmes and ‘tech for good’ can play a pivotal role in making life better, drive powerful partnerships, and bring in fresh resources to help address environmental and social problems. Whilst your knowledge about schemes like this, or how to plant trees in streets is limited, you are not fazed by the need for this learning.
Understanding context: You will have great insight into how Local Authorities operate, know what’s important to them and instinctively know how a sponsorship scheme can help them deliver on multiple objectives that matter to them. At the same time, you’ll have at least some sense for the national stakeholders and funders who have an interest in creating leafy streets and can work up purposeful relationships with them.
Trees for Cities is committed to the principles of equal opportunity. We value diversity and are committed to promoting diversity within the workplace. We aim to ensure that our employees achieve their full potential and that all employment decisions, including recruitment, are taken without reference to irrelevant or discriminatory criteria.
