Anyone joining our team is subject to PACT’s Safer Recruitment pre-appointment enquiries.  These include the provision of documentation of the right to work in the UK, Disclosure Barring Service (DBS) check, overseas police check where applicable and references covering a minimum 5 year period.  All opportunities are based in the UK.

Are you passionate, creative and curious about creating change in communities across the UK? We’re looking for two people to join our UK Portfolio Team as Portfolio Officers. These roles are 18-month fixed term contracts. 

The UK Portfolio delivers funding programmes and supports projects that aim to inform, influence or scale work across the UK providing benefit to communities. With a UK-wide reach, we are uniquely positioned to complement the work of the Fund’s other four country portfolios: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. These roles are 18-month fixed term contracts. 

We’re a relatively small team with wide ranging experience and interests, which reflects in the work we deliver. Annually we distribute approximately £80m across different programmes supporting projects from Fife to Omagh, Teesside to Bridgend.

This is an exciting time to join the Fund as we embark on the delivery and implementation of our new strategy – ‘It starts with community’.

Portfolio Officers are at the core of what we do, they work closely with grant seekers to support them through our funding, assess their applications and provide recommendations to our decision makers. They also work closely with grant holders ensuring public money is spent appropriately within communities across the UK and share learning and insights from the work we fund.

You’ll report to one of our Portfolio Managers and work with other Portfolio Officers across different areas of the team. Some of our recent and exciting programmes and activity include:

· The Climate Action Fund, a £100m programme supporting communities across the UK to take action on climate change.

· The UK Fund, our first response to  our new strategy, 'It starts with community,' supporting communities to come together and help make a better-connected society.

You will work across the full life cycle of our grant making assessing applications on current, open programmes and managing and closing down grants as they are completed. As we continue to shape our work in response to the new strategy, there may also be opportunities to help the design of new programmes. [LW1] You will also support the effective running of team meetings and be responsible for ensuring our data is accurate and of high quality.

You’ll be joining a dynamic and welcoming team, working with important and fascinating projects that are responding to and addressing a wide range of topics from employment to climate, racial justice to community cohesion.

These roles would suit people who:

· can work flexibly at pace and to tight deadlines

· are adept at building and maintaining relationships with those from a range of backgrounds and job roles

· are comfortable working across a number of funding programmes and workstreams

· can use their initiative and manage their time working comfortably with competing priorities and deadlines and a can-do attitude

· are comfortable working with an online and geographically dispersed team

· are comfortable learning and working with different systems and data

· can apply critical thinking and learn quickly about complex and nuanced issues, think about and create connections and synthesize this information to present it to others in a clear and concise manner.

Importantly we need people who are curious about the society we live in and passionate about making a difference through our funding and the vital role of charities and voluntary organisations in helping communities to thrive.

You will need to travel from time to time for this role, supporting colleagues and communities across the UK. We do not expect this to be any more than one to two occasions per month.
