Summary
This position will be home based with occasional UK-wide travel when required.
We help young people to build life-long belief in themselves, supporting them to take on their own challenges, follow their own passions and discover talents they never knew they had. Because when you prove yourself that you’re ready for anything nothing can hold you back.
Do you want to be part of that?
This role will support the DofE’s access focused grant-making, working closely with the wider UK Strategic Programmes team and UK Operations team to enable more organisations to start delivering the DofE. The post holder will also support grant management more broadly across the Charity.
You will be at the heart of the DofE’s five-year strategy, Youth Without Limits; helping ensure the DofE is open to all young people aged 14-24 across the UK and that our participants reflect the most diverse generation of young people ever.
What we are looking for:
You will be a motivated and efficient Grants Officer (Access) with a passion for supporting young people and giving them the best opportunities in life. You will have excellent stakeholder management skills and the ability to support multiple grant programmes simultaneously. You will have excellent attention to detail, experience of developing and managing monitoring processes, with a track-record of successfully managing competing deadlines.
You will work in a dynamic and driven team, supporting the design, development, and implementation of significant strategic projects, increasing access, and giving more marginalised young people the opportunity to benefit from the DofE.
You will be an enthusiastic, collaborative individual who thrives working in a fast-paced environment and can drive large-scale projects forward.
We offer excellent staff benefits including a competitive salary, generous pension contribution, flexible working, volunteering days, healthcare cash plan, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, and an employee assistance programme.
