The Community Engagement + Grants Officer plays a key role in the grants team which is responsible for all aspects of their grantmaking, as well as actively building long-lasting relationships with the local voluntary sector and wider community. The grants team members are experts in local needs and in the effectiveness of their charity partners in responding to them. In recent years, Kensington + Chelsea Foundation have adopted a participatory approach for distributing their larger funds, which means decisions around funding are delegated to panels of local residents who have lived experience of the issues they are trying to tackle.
The Community Engagement + Grants Officer supports the Senior Grant Manager with the delivery of all of larger grant rounds, as well as managing their small grants programme and donor-led grants. It is a busy and varied role, with opportunities to develop your skills and experience in a small and supportive team.
