Deadline: 5th November

We are seeking a Grants Manager to join the John Lyon’s Charity team, who will oversee a diverse portfolio of grants and support the Grants Directorate in achieving the Charity’s strategic goals.

This is an exciting time to join the Charity as it embarks on a new chapter of its strategic objectives in grant giving. The Grants Manager will be responsible for end-to-end grant-making; assessing applications, making recommendations and monitoring of a portfolio of grants. The grants will be broad in range from smaller, single year grants under the School Holiday Activity Fund to multi-year, large grants within the Open Grants Programme. The role holder will work closely with other members of the Grants Team, including the Directors, to support learning, develop special initiatives and contribute to the creation of policy and processes.

The role will suit someone with previous grant-making experience who is seeking to develop their expertise in place-based grant-making and/or the CYP sector. Given the nature of the existing portfolio, experience of working with cultural organisations and education settings would be a particular benefit.

JLC encourages applications from under-represented groups which reflect the diversity of the Charity’s Beneficial Area and the young people we seek to support. This includes Black, Asian, Mixed Race & other ethnically diverse individuals, people with disabilities, and members of LGBTQ+ communities. 

Please apply via Prospectus by 5th November via the link below, and reach out to our HR Manager if you have any questions.
