Reporting to the Senior Assistant Director (ECO Grants Management), you will take ownership of the full grants management cycle – from outreach and application assessment through to post-project evaluation. You will manage end-to-end grant administration, including assessing applications, evaluating heritage merit, overseeing budgets, and ensuring compliance with governance requirements.
You will serve as a key point of contact for grant applicants and sector partners across the Public, Private and People sectors, providing guidance that helps applicants put forward their best work. Beyond administration, you will contribute to the strategic development of the grants programme by analysing data and stakeholder feedback, identifying sector trends, and participating in policy and SOP reviews.
Organising engagement sessions, producing clear written communications for diverse audiences, and handling ad-hoc projects will also be part of the role.
We want someone who can look at the programme holistically – asking not just whether processes are followed, but whether the grants are achieving the right outcomes and reaching the right communities.
At the Senior Manager level, you will take on a broader remit that includes leading the review and development of NHB’s grant frameworks, serving as the escalation point for complex or sensitive cases, lead audit responses where required, supervising and mentoring junior team members, and representing NHB at sector platforms and dialogues.
