1 month ago


Northampton, United Kingdom Motor Neurone Disease Association Full time

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Research Grants Administrator to join our team and support the operation of our expanding research grants programme at the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association. In this role, you will manage key administrative tasks and ensure the accurate processing of data related to research funding.

A core part of your role will involve maintaining and updating our grants management database, ensuring all records are current and correct. You will work closely with research institutes to verify and process grant-related invoices, ensuring they align with the awarded funding. Additionally, you'll collaborate with our Finance Team to ensure timely payments and proper record-keeping.

Your responsibilities will also include requesting and processing reports from grant recipients, ensuring they are reviewed by the appropriate colleagues or Research Advisory Panels. You will play a key role in monitoring the impact of funded research, including tracking publications and other outputs.

You will also support researchers in submitting applications for funding, coordinating the review process, and assisting with the successful award of grants. Accurate record-keeping of research contacts, such as grantees and reviewers, is also an important part of this position.

If you are organised, detail-oriented, and eager to contribute to a meaningful cause, this could be the perfect role for you. Join us in helping to support vital research and make a real impact.

What are we looking for?

Experience using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, with the ability to manage data processing tasks with accuracy and care. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential as you will be working closely with colleagues and external contacts.

The ideal candidate will have excellent attention to detail and numeracy skills, ensuring consistent and accurate work. You should be able to manage your time effectively, prioritise tasks, and meet deadlines, while maintaining a thorough approach to record-keeping.

We're seeking someone who can work independently and bring a flexible attitude to a range of tasks. If you are organised, self-motivated, and enjoy working with data, this role could be a great fit for you.
