We were formed out of the Brixton Riots in 1981 and this year is our 40th Anniversary, which we are celebrating with a wide range of exciting, new projects.

Much of our work is in London and we also run programmes in Bristol, Birmingham and Newcastle and regularly work overseas, helping other charities and NGOs develop their own sport for social change programmes. In the year ahead we will be running programmes in Bangladesh, South Africa, the Gambia and Italy. We currently run fourteen innovative programmes in the UK, including Street Elite, London Futures, Netball4Change and Girls Win, all of which you can learn more about from our website. Street Elite is an award-winning training for work programme, which recruits young people aged 18-25 affected by gangs and crime and supports them into work, training or education. The programme is carefully evaluated and highly effective with 80% of the participants progressing into work, training or education by the end of the programme. On each of our programmes our Coach Mentors use their own lived experience to build trusting relationships with the young people, empowering them to make positive change in their lives.

The charity is known for its pioneering and daring approach and for its ‘innovate and share’ philosophy, which is supported by our own internal Innovation Fund, which any member of staff or any of our young people can apply to for funding to test a new idea.

• Work with the Executive Director, the TBP Manager, the Communications Director, and the Sustainability team to develop attractive, compelling communications that support the development and fundraising strategy of IofC International;

• Work with affiliated national teams to help them develop local fundraising capacity that works in coordination with IofCI;

• Some travel [when allowed by pandemic restrictions] to meet with affiliated national teams and donors if necessary to implement our fundraising strategy. 

REQUIRED PERSONAL QUALITIES AND SKILLS

Prospectus is excited to be partnering exclusively with ClientEarth to help them recruit for a new Trust and Foundations Officer (Grants Officer) to join their expanding team. ClientEarth are a team of over 200 people across eight offices, dedicated to protecting life on Earth. They work in over 50 countries, ingeniously using the law to create systemic change. They focus on the most pressing environmental challenges, because a future in which people and planet thrive together isn't just possible - it's essential.

This post is offered as a full-time permanent role paying £27,000 to £30,000 per annum to be home based until the end of restrictions with an eventual part-time return to the London Office. They have established a new universal flexible working framework that means the role will only have to go into the office 20% of the time with 80% home or distance working.

The post holder will be responsible for managing their own portfolio of grants and its key relationships (internal and external) with an emphasis on funder liaison and stewardship, reporting on existing grants, and translating technical legal and policy language into compelling and interesting narratives. The post holder will be joining a growing team of Officers who each manages a dedicated funding portfolio attached to ClientEarth's programme teams and play a central role in communicating their impactful work to external stakeholders - in particular funders including private trusts and foundations and institutional donors.

They are looking for someone with relevant experience in a grant management or trust and foundations fundraising role for a charity, NGO, private or public entity with a good track record of reporting and drafting proposals for trusts and foundations, and an understanding of an organisation's financial and budgeting requirements. The post holder will be able to work independently, have excellent organisational skills and be efficient in managing and prioritising multiple tasks and deadlines.

The post holder will be responsible for developing new relationships with trusts and foundations in the UK and around the world to support their work.
