In addition, the charity meets four times a year at the office in Hatfield for its 'All Staff Together' days, at which attendance is mandatory.

The Foundation:
Our client is looking to recruit a Grant Manager (Arts, Culture and Heritage) to manage and further develop a portfolio of grants for their Arts, Culture and Heritage Programme.

This role is based in London (Cannon Street) and the post-holder will need to be in the office at least 2-3 days per week, and available to be in the office on additional days /travel for site visits, as required.

In addition to excellent analytical skills, the successful candidate will have strong communication and interpersonal skills, with a proven ability to understand and articulate complex information clearly and concisely.  Attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple deadlines and priorities will be key to success in this role.  Finally, you will have a high degree of humility and a collaborative style and will be able to pro-actively manage a diverse workload on your own initiative.
