Grants Officer

Doncaster, United Kingdom YMCA Doncaster Full time

We are looking for an experienced grants fundraiser to join us and make a significant impact on our work with young people in central Doncaster.

We are currently finalising our next Forward Plan, with an ambition to create an inclusive, vibrant community, committed to everyone having a fair chance to discover who they are and what they can become. We currently work with children and young people aged 5 to 30.

Our priority programmes include support coaching for young people, community activity sessions, sustaining our accommodation provision for vulnerable young adults and establishing how we can best support more young people on the homelessness pathway. We have some great spaces that are in need of development, and we expect that both capital and revenue funding will be included in your workload. We also look for smaller grants during the course of the year, including for food for our residents and supplies for our art groups, and we hope to recruit volunteers to assist with the smaller and less complex bids.

PAY AND HOURS
£30,725 salary (based on 40 hours weekly). We are happy to consider between 25 and 40 hours per week, with your reasonable choice of regular hours.
We have arrangements for remote working for those who have private office space at home. Work on site will be needed to understand and engage with the full range of work, and to attend staff meetings and meetings with potential and ongoing funders. We would generally expect that to be one variable day each week.

**MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES**:

- To work delegated idea notes into fundable project profiles, each with a clear and compelling case for support.
- To create a clear and compelling case for support for unrestricted grants income.
- To agree full cost recovery arrangements with the Chief Executive.
- To be responsible for an assigned portfolio of trusts, foundations and similar, developing knowledge of, and relationships with, those funders.
- To work to regularly reviewed and achievable targets.
- To devise efficient evaluation and monitoring systems which meet funder requirements.
- To oversee the accurate completion of returns and reports, ensuring that funders are satisfied and funding continues.
- To keep comprehensive records, in an agreed format, from initial contact with a potential funder through to either the rejection correspondence or the funding agreement and subsequent monitoring and evaluation.
- To comply with fundraising and other legislation relevant to the role.
- To recommend updates to the Fundraising Policy in accordance with changes to legislation or operating practice.
- To report to the Chief Executive monthly in the required format.
- To approach the role with professionalism, and to maintain appropriate boundaries with staff, clients and others.
- Additional or other duties as necessary within your capabilities and status to meet the needs of YMCA Doncaster.

PERSON SPECIFICATION - THE EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- A track record of success in securing funding through written bids (five figures plus).
- An understanding of the current UK grants / trusts climate and the types of funders likely to support YMCA Doncaster’s work.
- Self-motivated and self-supporting, with the ability to work independently and deal with unexpected or challenging situations.
- Ability to create and work with project budgets and projections.
- Exceptionally strong written communication skills, a strong command of grammar and meticulous attention to detail.
- Able to work methodically and efficiently, programming work to allow for unexpected or short-notice opportunities.
- Experience of maintaining confidentiality and appropriate relationships, and a clear understanding of the importance of those.
- Able to represent the Association positively, professionally and with credibility.
- An understanding of issues relevant to grants fundraising at YMCA Doncaster, particularly being part of a federated group of charities, having unincorporated status and a significant reserve, would be useful but are not essential.
