The Kensington + Chelsea Foundation is an independent local charity which was founded in 2008 to tackle the key inequalities in our community. While our borough is often associated with wealth and affluence, it also has areas of severe deprivation. Nearly one third of children in K+C are eligible for Free School Meals, life expectancy between residents from different wards varies by nearly two decades, and in-work poverty has increased by 46% since 2020.

Our vision is of a borough where all residents have the opportunity to live happy, healthy, fulfilled lives. To achieve this vision, we identify and fund impactful local projects which improve the lives and life chances of our most vulnerable and disadvantaged residents. Alongside this longer-term work, we also play a key role in responding to emergencies in our community, such as the tragedy at Grenfell Tower and the Covid-19 pandemic. The K+C Foundation is now in an exciting phase of growth, and we want to increase our profile, our income and, most importantly, our impact.

The Community Engagement + Grants Officer plays a key role in our grants team which is  responsible for all aspects of our grantmaking, as well as actively building long-lasting relationships with the local voluntary sector and wider community. The grants team members are our experts in local needs and in the effectiveness of our charity partners in responding to them. In recent years, we have adopted a participatory approach for distributing our larger funds, which means decisions around funding are delegated to panels of local residents who have lived experience of the issues we are trying to tackle. 

The Community Engagement + Grants Officer supports the Senior Grant Manager with the delivery of all of our larger grant rounds, as well as managing our small grants programme and donor-led grants. It is a busy and varied role, with opportunities to develop your skills and experience in a small and supportive team.
