Join our grants team and further our work to build a just society.
We are looking for two Grants Managers, one focusing on our Arts Education work and one on our Migration work.
Our Arts Education work encompasses two funds – Arts-Based Learning and Teacher Development. Across both, the team have a shared interest in seeing how the arts can build equity in education, enrich the lives of young people, and develop the practice of teachers.
Our Migration Fund is interested in migrant justice, and bringing about a world in which everyone is free to move and no one is forced to move. The fund focuses on addressing the root causes of injustices faced by migrant and diaspora communities.
As a Grant Manager, you will:
Build strong relationships with the organisations we support
Be the key point of contact for grantholders
Assess applications and make funding recommendations
Find out more about these roles and other roles we are recruiting for.
Our work is informed by our values – collaboration and connection, trust, openness, and thoughtfulness. We aim for these values to be felt by everyone who works with us.
As well as these values, we are also motivated by a shared commitment to being an anti-racist funder. We made this commitment in 2020, and believe it is foundational to our work.
Alice Littlehailes, project lead for Teaching for Creativity, provides an insight into their school-led programme involving a community of small, semi-rural settings in the High Peak area of Derbyshire, with support from the Teacher Development Fund. Head teachers play a central role within this TDF project which aims to make whole-school, sustainable change. Alice describes the challenges and opportunities of working in this context.
Letícia Ishibashi, our Head of Programme – Migration, reflects on her first year in this role, the questions we have been asking ourselves, and our role as funders in helping shape the future we want to see for migrants and refugees.
