Trustee x 2 positions

GrantScape is currently seeking applications from enthusiastic and highly motivated people to join the Board of the charity.

There are currently two vacancies to strengthen our Board. We are particularly interested to hear from applicants with marketing, communications or HR backgrounds. Experience of and connections within the renewable energy industry are desirable, but not essential.

This is an opportunity for someone to obtain board level experience in a friendly, established and well governed charity.

GrantScape is a highly respected charity which specialises in Community Benefit Fund (CBF) grant administration and management. We provide grant-making solutions through the delivery of top quality, cost-effective grant programmes. Since 1997, we have firmly established ourselves as a leader in community fund grant administration and management and are one of the UK’s major grant-makers.

We administer CBFs on behalf of large scale renewable energy developers including wind farms and solar farms, other renewable energy plants and landfill operators (through the Landfill Communities Fund).

As an equal opportunity employer, we celebrate diversity and are dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees and volunteers. There are currently 11 dedicated staff, nine of which have worked for the charity for over five years, and some more than 20 years. We pride ourselves on the value we place on our staff and volunteers and our success in retaining them.

As a Trustee you will be responsible to help manage and govern the charity, and to ensure over £6 million of funding each year is awarded to the most worthwhile community, environmental and educational projects throughout England, Wales and Scotland.

The charity has four board meetings a year. Two are usually held virtually, with the other two in Milton Keynes where our head office is located. You therefore must be based in the UK. You will also be expected to participate in other grant-decision meetings by email, normally monthly, between Board meetings.

This position is not remunerated but travel and out of pocket expenses will be paid in line with the charity’s Expenses Policy.

Please apply by emailing your CV, together with a covering letter setting out your reasons for applying and what skills and strengths you can bring to the charity.

If you would like to discuss the role further before applying, please contact the charity directly to arrange a call with Libby, GrantScape's chair, or with Matt, the Chief Executive.

The closing date for applications is 31 October 2025.
