Help Us Empower the Next Generation: Join the Air Cadet Charity as a Grants Manager!

Are you an experienced and strategic grants professional with a passion for making a difference? The Air Cadet Charity is seeking a dedicated Grants Manager to lead and shape our grant-making programmes. This is a pivotal role that will ensure our funding effectively supports young people across the UK, enhancing their experiences and opportunities within the RAF Air Cadets.

About Us:

The Air Cadet Charity is the principal charity supporting the Royal Air Force Air Cadets. We provide vital grants for activities, equipment, and opportunities, helping young people develop skills, confidence, and reach their potential through aviation, adventure, and community engagement. From adventure training to simulators and training equipment, we ensure the RAF Air Cadets organisation continues to thrive and inspire.

 

The Role:

As our Grants Manager, you will be a key leader in our grant-making process. You'll be responsible for the strategic development and smooth operation of the grant lifecycle, ensuring applications are processed efficiently, records are meticulously kept, and communication with our Air Cadet applicants is clear and supportive. You will also play a key role in informing the Grants Committee's decisions and leading the expansion of our programmes. Your strategic and organised approach will ensure our funding reaches those who need it most, helping us achieve our mission effectively.

You will be responsible for:

  • Developing and implementing our grants strategy, identifying new funding opportunities and leading the expansion of our grants programme to increase our reach and impact.
  • Working closely with the Grants Committee to assess applications, providing expert insight and analysis to help inform their decisions.
  • Administering the online grant application portal, ensuring data accuracy and accessibility.
  • Conducting initial screening and eligibility checks of incoming grant applications.
  • Preparing and issuing grant agreements and coordinating payment schedules with the Finance Manager.
  • Monitoring the progress and impact of funded projects by reviewing grantee reports and maintaining accurate records.
  • Serving as a primary point of contact, providing clear guidance on application processes to prospective and existing grant applicants.
  • Maintaining comprehensive and accurate records within the charity's CRM/grants management system.
  • Ensuring compliance with internal policies and reporting requirements throughout the grant lifecycle.
  • Building and maintaining positive relationships with our Air Cadet grantees.

What we're looking for:

  • Proven experience (minimum 3-5 years) in a grants management or similar senior role within a charity, foundation, or similar organisation.
  • A strong track record of developing and implementing successful grants strategies.
  • Excellent analytical and communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly to a variety of audiences, including the Grants Committee and Trustees.
  • Exceptional organisational and time management skills, with a strong eye for detail and accuracy.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel) and experience with a CRM or grants management system.
  • A proactive and professional approach, with a genuine passion for youth development and the Air Cadet Charity's mission.
  • Familiarity with the Air Cadet organisation or other uniformed youth groups is an advantage.

Why join the Air Cadet Charity?

  • Be part of a respected charity directly supporting the development of young people through the RAF Air Cadets.
  • Work closely with dedicated volunteer staff across the UK.
  • Opportunity for professional growth and development within the charity sector.
  • 26 days annual leave + bank holidays
  • Employee life assurance scheme
  • A supportive and collaborative work environment.

Location: Remote/Hybrid with occasional travel to events/meetings around the UK and to the Sleaford, Lincs office.

Hours: Full-time (37.5 hours per week)
