A new and exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced individual with passion for working with Communities Experiencing Racial Inequalities (CERI) focusing on the Muslim communities living across the UK.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join All Ways Network (AWN) as our plans to grow and empower the needs of the organisations we support. We are committed to listening and developing their organisational structure to work towards securing funding from Grantmakers and donors alike.

Your role will engage and collaborate with NFPs and Grant-makers through one to one, group meetings and presentations. This new role will require the person to take lead for their own work, know the charity sector and Muslim communities very well. As a small organisation with a big impact, you will be working closely with the Board and volunteers.

Holidays: 22 + Bank holidays (pro rata)

Contract length: Until August 2024, with potential to extend

Reports to: Chair of Board of Trustees
