Job description

Overview

We are looking for help to write successful project funding bids to finance core activities for our organisation. Your input will shape our workshops/course delivery strategy for 2022, continuing to provide young people with creative and academic educational support. This is a crucial role within the organisation.

Responsibilities

We are looking for a bid writer that has experience in writing grant proposals. Our charity is working in the education sector, with the core mission to give young people access to quality education and to ameliorate the effects of deprivation on disengaged and disadvantaged young people. We’d like advice and input into our funding applications; a volunteer could work with us to help us develop high‑quality funding bids on an ongoing basis or work on one particular bid, taking the lead in developing that bid. We need to ensure that we are applying for the correct grants in the most effective way possible. If you have experience in this area and think you can help, we’d love to hear from you! There is currently no fundraising expertise in the company, and we are therefore looking for someone who can bring this expertise to the team.
