Job Description
The Grant Manager’s contribution to the team will ensure that, during the next domestic
disaster, the National Emergencies Trust and its network of distribution partners are able
to offer vital funds and support to all those affected as soon as they need it, wherever
they are in the UK.
To achieve this, the Grants Manager will work closely with the new Assistant Director of
Operations, to further develop and implement the distribution strategy. They will be
responsible for developing and managing the grants and relationships with local
Community Foundations and wider, potential distribution partners.
During live emergency appeals, the post holder will actively reach out to local
Community Foundations and other potential partners to manage the equitable
distribution of funds, using data and intelligence, and drawing on the expertise of the
Equity Scrutiny Group and Allocations Committee, to consider the needs of all those
affected.
Between appeals, the Grants Manager will build and develop the network of distribution
partners and hold important relationships, providing information and exploring ways to
collaborate, share knowledge and expertise, and aid preparedness.
