Role

We are offering a wonderful opportunity for a driven and focused individual to join the very successful and high performing Funding and Marketing Department as a Grants Officer. Quarriers provides practical care and support for vulnerable children, adults and families who face extremely challenging circumstances across Scotland. We challenge poverty and inequality of opportunity to bring about positive changes in people’s lives.

The Grants Officer role will work within the Grants Team to help transform the lives of the people supported by Quarriers by writing compelling, concise and convincing proposals to, and managing relationships with, a range of funders, including governmental bodies, lottery distributors, corporate and charitable trusts and foundations, in order to maximise income for existing and new Quarriers services.

You will also work collaboratively with the wider Funding and Marketing Department to provide mutual support as necessary and to optimise opportunities for developing Quarriers’ business through synergies between grants and tenders.

You

This great opportunity is suited to someone who is ambitious, enjoys a fast paced environment, and has excellent organisational skills, ideally with a background in grants, particularly corporate grant funding. It would be advantageous for you to have knowledge of the third sector or commercial organisations as well as experience in developing strong relationships with key internal and external stakeholders.

Reporting to the Head of Business Development and Grants who along with a Senior Grants Officer and three Grants Officers will work towards delivering an annual income of £1.3million+, as well as building a robust pipeline of opportunities for the next three years.

This is a critical role, engaging and communicating effectively with a wide range of internal staff and external organisations. If you are a candidate that wants to challenge yourself to deliver real results and in turn be able to see the revenue being used for positive work then we want to hear from you.

Quarriers Funding and Marketing Department is an exciting place to work with a motivated and energetic team which is strongly supported by the Executive Team and Board of Trustees.

Quarriers is one of Scotland’s largest social care charities, providing practical care and support for vulnerable children, adults and families who face extremely challenging circumstances. We challenge poverty and inequality of opportunity to bring about positive changes in people’s lives.

The post would be suited to someone who is innovative, organised, driven to succeed and has experience within Grants as well as strong relationship management. You would be comfortable working ambitiously and at pace, have strong communication and interpersonal skills, thrive in a competitive and deadline-driven environment and have the ability to engage productively with colleagues, partners and funders.

Interviews for this position will take place late April.
