London, Greater London, United Kingdom TNL Community Fund - English Full time

About The Role:

As Funding Officer, you will work with The Phoenix Way Partners (TPW), a national collaborative partnership created during the Covid-19 pandemic as a response to the structural inequalities which Black and Ethnic Minority communities and community-led organisations face in relation to influencing and accessing grant funding in the UK


You will assess requests for funding and manage grants using best practice, thematic expertise, and the experience of customers and stakeholders to improve our grant making and inform our decision making.


Funding Officers will ensure our grant management and assessment play an effective part in contributing to the Fund's knowledge and learning as a grant maker.

You will manage your own caseload, liaise with grant holders, partners, undertake project visits, identify and manage risk, supporting organisations to deliver their projects and measure their impact.


You will share learning from your conversations, project visits, grant holder reports and evaluations with other colleagues so that we can maximise our impact.

You will ideally live in the London or South East of England or have excellent knowledge of the area.

Being responsible for supporting local people and communities you will have a strong knowledge of the challenges and opportunities for the Black and Ethnic Minority communities and community-led organisations in that area.

You will have a passion for equitable grant making and be part of an inclusive team. You will be able to demonstrate a "can do" attitude and a solution focused approach.

You'll be part of a team, led by a Funding Manager, and comprised of several other Funding Officers.


You'll also need to work within the Fund's policies and procedures and the necessary legislation, and in a way that is in line with our vision and principles.
