London, United Kingdom Independent Age Full time

At Independent Age, we believe that no older person should face financial hardship. That’s why, by 2027, our goal is to have improved the lives of one million older people.  

Our impact across policy, campaigning, information and advice, grant-making and partnerships improves lives by increasing the financial well-being of older people in financial hardship, enabling greater choice and independence in wider areas of life. We want to find talented individuals from diverse backgrounds to join us on this journey. 

Responsibilities and Person Specification: 

This role at Independent Age is a brilliant opportunity to work on our grant funding programmes, involving support of grant management, applications, assessments, and funding administration. The postholder will foster positive connections with funded organisations, service partners and individual grant holders, contribute to the review and analysis of grant and partnership reporting and evaluations, and help communicate the impact of grants working with multiple stakeholders. You will support with creating value-adding opportunities for grantees, from organising engaging training to hosting networking events.  

A strong understanding of grant making and experience in supporting partnerships, a project, or programme of work, your collaborative approach, outstanding interpersonal skills, and commitment to customer service will be important for this role. You should also have excellent administrative and organisational skills, a keen eye for detail and be experienced in data management. 

For full details on the role and requirements, please review the job description and person specification.  If your experience doesn’t align perfectly with all of the criteria in the person specification but you do meet most of them and are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply anyway.  

This is a full-time role, 35 hours per week, which you can choose to work over five days or a 9 day fortnight.  

What it’s like to work at Independent Age: 

We celebrate diversity at Independent Age and champion the differences that make each of us unique. We actively support and encourage people from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and skill sets to join us and help shape what we do. We aim to attract and retain a wide range of talent and create an environment where everyone can feel safe, protected, welcome and included.    

We offer great benefits including 28 days annual leave plus public holidays, a generous pension scheme with life assurance, and fantastic learning and development opportunities. We also offer a number of enhanced leave provisions and benefits. 

We know that a good work life balance helps us perform at our best and supports wellbeing. Flexible working hours and hybrid working is standard for all (those contracted to work in the office usually attend 1 day per week). But if you need a different form of flexibility, we are always happy to talk flexible working.
