London, Greater London, United Kingdom The Rufford Foundation Full time


This is an exciting and varied role to support the management and delivery of the Rufford Small Grants Programme, ensuring that grantees have support during implementation of their Rufford-funded projects and can potentially scale up their work through applications for further funding.


The Grants Officer will dedicate most of their time working within a small team to review applications, provide feedback to unsuccessful applicants, and assess progress and project delivery of successful grantees.

Mostly, this will entail checking that applicants and their proposals fit our guidelines and then forwarding applications for technical review by external experts.

Through internal discussions, the Grants Officer will also provide input into project review with other members of our conservation team.

The assessment of Rufford Small Grants requires day-to-day administration, which is an essential part of this role.


The Grants Officer will also identify and support grantees to deliver in-person learning events, funded by The Rufford Foundation, to build the capacities of participants.

The Grants Officer will be encouraged to bring new ideas to enhance the foundation's small grants and grantee development work.


The Grants Officer will be involved in key events in the UK and potentially overseas (e.g., the Student Conference on Conservation Science and the International Congress for Conservation Biology) to conduct outreach on Rufford Small Grants, deliver workshops, discuss funding opportunities with new applicants and meet with existing and former grantees.
