Are you an experienced grants manager seeking an opportunity to make a meaningful impact? Are you passionate about making a difference, bringing out the best in others, acting with integrity, and delivering effectively and efficiently?

Charity People are delighted to be partnering with The Bloom Foundation, a growing UK-based family trust dedicated to Helping communities thrive. Since its establishment in 2011, the Foundation has focused on addressing key issues and promoting positive change in the communities it serves through strategic grant-making and partnerships.

The Foundation donates £6-7 million a year in operational grants and funds a diverse portfolio of charities in the UK and Israel. Its focus areas include strengthening the UK Jewish and Brighton communities, creating a more cohesive society in Israel and mainstreaming a preventative approach to health.

One of the Foundation’s Senior Grants Managers is going on maternity leave and so they are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Grants Manager to join their small, dynamic team.

The Senior Grants Manager will cover a diverse portfolio of charities across the Foundation’s key funding areas, with a focus on health (including mental health) and the UK Jewish community. Supporting grantees over a multi-year journey to helping them achieve their goals, the Senior Grants Manager will need to be an excellent relationship-builder, with a strong knowledge of philanthropy, and a dedication to enhancing impact through effective grant-making.

Key responsibilities

• Grant Management & Compliance: Oversee all stages of the grant lifecycle, ensuring alignment with Foundation guidelines, values, and objectives.
• Relationship & Stakeholder Management: Cultivate strong relationships with grantees, charities, and non-profit organisations, acting as the primary point of contact.
• Evaluation & Reporting: Monitor grantee outcomes, assess programme effectiveness, and prepare detailed reports for stakeholders and board members, highlighting impact and progress.

The Senior Grants Manager will have at least 5 years’ experience in grant management, preferably within a philanthropic private foundation, carrying out grant assessments and grant reports. The successful candidate will have a strong level of analytical skills and strong experience of working with a grant management database (The Bloom Foundation uses Blackbaud). You will be an excellent communicator with the ability to present complex information clearly and concisely and the ability to think strategically, connecting the dots across a grantee’s organisational journey. You will have good relationship building skills and a high level of diplomacy and able to deliver in a fast-paced environment. You will be proficient in office software packages, including MS Office and Excel and confident working accurately with figures.

The successful candidate will be a collaborative team player. You will be interested in and committed to contributing to the overall success of a small and highly motivated organisation with a versatile and flexible approach and a “can do” attitude.

The role is based in a modern, vibrant office in Camden on the canal, with 4 days from the office / 1 day from home hybrid policy. There will be some evening events, and some travel involved nationally to visit grantees. The Bloom Foundation benefits from the use of a gym and a café which serves healthy food and is available for employees of the Foundation.  The culture is friendly, flexible and sociable. Please note this role is subject to background checks due to working within a family foundation.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join The Bloom Foundation’s grant-making team. If you are excited by this role and have the relevant skills and experience to apply, we would be delighted to hear from you.
