Full Job Description

  • Write and submit tailored applications for funding and bids, supported by the team wherever needed

  • Support with fundraising strategy, ideas and development.

  • Help us build our funding/grant prospect list. We have access to some grant funding databases, but are ideally looking to create a tailored one for the CIC through this process as well.

  • Produce a funding budget and forecast, identifying where, when and how much funding is needed, together with the forecast sources of that funding.

  • Volunteers will work from home, with regular support and check-ins with a dedicated lead

  • We offer flexible working hours, working from home, a few hours a week - negotiable for the right candidate


  • We are looking for a writer who is experienced in researching and writing funding applications, or someone who has generally worked in a similar environment and is happy to work in this area to grow their own skills.

    Being a good writer is vital and an ability to weave through information and know what's important would be ideal.

    What are we looking for?

    We are looking for a volunteer who can:
  • Write successful funding bids

  • Research funding opportunities

  • Demonstrate excellent written and financial skills

  • Work remotely and as part of a team

  • Make plans, forecasts, and budgets, keep them up to date and report on them

  • Help develop a fundraising strategy

  • Understand the needs of the organisation and of the funder and create bids that satisfy both


  • What difference will you make?

    An experienced grant writer will help us increase our income by:
  • identifying more funding opportunities and applying for them

  • increasing our success rate

  • helping us secure funding that is for a longer term and for a larger amount than now

  • giving us the confidence to aim higher in our funding bids in order to fund our growth and sustainability plans


  • Before you apply

    Please provide a cover letter detailing why you are interested in this role and your relevant experience.

    Shortlisted candidates will be contacted to arrange an online informal meeting. We look forward to meeting you!
