Our charity is working in the education sector, with the core mission to give young people access to quality education and to ameliorate the effects of deprivation on disengaged and disadvantaged young people.

We need to ensure that we are applying for the correct grants in the most effective way possible. If you have experience in this area and think you can help, we'd love to hear from you!

There is currently no fundraising expertise in the company and we are therefore looking for someone who can bring this expertise to the team.

  2. Excellent written communication skills
  3. To be thorough and pay attention to detail
  4. Excellent verbal communication skills
  5. Knowledge of computer operating systems, hardware and software
  6. The ability to think clearly using logic and reasoning
  7. Administration skills

What difference will you make?

Your input will shape our workshops/course delivery strategy for 2022, continuing to provide young people with creative and academic educational support.

This is a crucial role within the organisation.
