Job Description

We are looking for a Grants Officer to join our Grant Management Team to help us to meet our mission to partner with small and local charities to help more people overcome complex social issues and rebuild their lives.

As Grant Officer you will be responsible for undertaking high quality, objective assessments of grant applications and making robust recommendations about whether applications should receive funding. You will also monitor the grants of our funded charities and manage our wider grant management processes to ensure charities receive outstanding customer service. You’ll work with colleagues across our teams covering frontline grantmaking, including reviewing and processing grant payments and supplier invoices.

Finally, you will manage a high volume of enquiries from charities seeking funding and colleagues at Lloyds Banking Group seeking to support good causes through the ‘Matched Giving’ programme.

You will have experience of customer service and you’ll be comfortable supporting charities both via email and on the phone, so strong communication skills are essential. You will have previous experience of the voluntary sector. You’ll come with attention to detail and the ability to work flexibly across a busy workload. You’ll be a team player with the ability to create positive working relationships across the organisation.

The post will be a hybrid office and home-based role and will be expected to routinely attend our London office for at least two days per week.

We’re an independent charitable foundation supported by Lloyds Banking Group.

We believe our organisation will be a better, more creative and innovative place to work if we can harness the benefit of different perspectives.

The Foundation is committed to making our recruitment practices barrier-free and as inclusive as possible for everyone. This includes making adjustments or changes for people who have a disability or long-term health condition.

Interviews will take place on the 15th and 19th September, either remotely on Zoom or in person at our offices in Kings Cross, London. If you need any reasonable adjustments for any part of the recruitment process, please email our Recruitment Office in confidence, to discuss these.
