The current focus of activity is awarding bursaries and grants to young people studying accountancy and/or finance at university together with a mentoring scheme and support in securing internships and graduate roles.

Our objective is to increase the number of students supported by the foundation, increase the number of volunteer mentors, and increase donations.

Working with the ICAS Foundation charity, you will have a natural empathy and supportive approach when dealing with all applicants for bursary and grant funding as well as our many volunteers.

Your open and honest style of communication will enable you to build lasting trusted relationships, enabling you to advise and support where necessary. You will be able to work on your own initiative, managing the many facets of this role with accuracy and speed.

The role:

To support the Director and the Operations and Engagement Manager of the ICAS Foundation to achieve the strategic objectives of the ICAS Foundation and associated ICAS charities.

Within this role you will not only be the key administrative support, but you will be involved in fundraising and social media activity to promote the ICAS Foundation and its objectives.

Principal accountabilities:

• Application processing for volunteer mentor applications and quarterly updates.

• Application processing for bursary and grant funding

• Maintenance of all records relevant to ICAS Foundation

• Ensure conditions of funding are being met by all students on the Foundation programme

• Contribute to the effective operation, development of and fundraising for the ICAS Foundation and associated ICAS charities.

The ICAS Foundation places equality, diversity, and inclusion at the heart of all that we do. We are committed to building a workforce that is beneficial for all, and that enables our staff to learn, grow and advance together.
