Imagine being part of the team that dedicate themselves to bettering the lives of those in their community every day.
We are looking for Grants Officer to join our Grants Department responsible for assessing a high volume of grants applications relating to people who are eligible to receive support from The Royal British Legion.
Our team also makes grant decisions to assist those we support, provide information & guidance to colleagues, and generally support the centralised aspects of the Legion grant audit & fulfilment processes.
As a Grants Officer you will work with individuals eligible for Legion assistance directly to deliver welfare support, collaboratively with third parties considering grants towards their own case work and internally with regional specialist teams.
You will be able to demonstrate empathy and judgement while maintaining service standards and helping to safeguard the Legion’s finite funds. The role involves considerable liaison with external charities & agencies, speaking directly to those we support, and it is anticipated that you will have a good too high standard of communication, planning and organisational skills.
You will be contracted to your home address, and you will perform most of your work remotely there using our collaboration tools to work with colleagues, with occasional travel (incl. for monthly team meetings)
Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.
Here at Royal British Legion, we aim to support our people and their wellbeing, with a package including generous paid holiday allowance and pension scheme contributions, and a range of optional benefits and discounts. We also offer you the opportunity to put your passion into a role with real impact whatever your interests and ambitions.
RBL is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive organisation, reflecting the diversity of the armed forces community and of wider society. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and personal characteristics and aim to operate an inclusive recruitment process.
