Role

Foundation Scotland is an independent charity that provides funding to charities, social enterprises and community organisations. We do this on behalf of over 400 individuals, charitable trusts and companies.

Our Communities Team enables and empowers communities across Scotland to devise and implement their own strategies for local funds coming from a range of sources, notably renewables businesses. We provide fund governance, grant administration and related services for a range of commercial and community-sector clients, combined with a commitment to community-led approaches.

We are recruiting for a Grants Officer to join our Communities Team, supporting a portfolio of funds across Scotland. As a Grants Officer, you will get to the heart of our work providing grantmaking and administrative support (including reviewing conditions and reports, and responding to applicant queries), routinely assessing grant applications and helping to administer funds and programmes.

The role involves considerable liaison with colleagues internally as well as with applicants and grantees, so you will be a confident and effective communicator and have good planning and organisational skills.

If you have experience in grant making and have strong analytical and written skills, then we’d love to hear from you. Please note, that while this role is home based, some travel is required. To help cover work requirements in the Caithness area, we particularly welcome candidates from the north of Scotland.

More detail about the role and experience required is available in the job description/person specification which can be found here.
