Assessment Recruitment

Employer
Undisclosed Company
Location
London, City of London
Salary
£12 - £16 per hour
Closing date
25 May 2018

What will you be doing?

The main focus of this role will be assessing grant applications against a set criteria and inputting information onto our funding management system. It will also involve liaising with applicants by telephone and occasionally by visit and you'll be responsible for collating and analysing the information you've gathered, and then writing up thorough, objective assessment reports for decision makers.

Why is this support needed?

As part of our change plans, we are moving grant making to our newly established regional teams, in order to do this we had to temporarily pause our Reaching Communities investment programme, which created a significant increase in applications. As a result we now need to recruit a small team of up to five experienced assessment staff, to help process the applications from the second stage of the bidding process. We are looking for people who are able to work as a part of a team, using their initiative to ensure that assessments are being completed within a set deadline and to a high standard.

Where is this work based?

Whilst frequent meetings and travel to Birmingham is required, we can offer flexible working from home or other office locations across England.

What are the essential skills?

  • Ideal candidates will have experience of assessment work, along with excellent communication skills (both verbal and in writing)
  • Ability to read and summarise information at pace (rapid appraisal of written information)
  • Experience of report writing
  • Ability to analyse information and produce a clear recommendation
  • Experience of making and presenting evidenced based judgements
  • Microsoft experience: Word, Excel and Outlook - operate appropriate systems
  • Self-organisation and planning
  • Experience of reviewing and analysing numerical information, specifically project budgets.

Other desirable skills:

  • Knowledge of the charity and voluntary sector
  • Funding experience (grant assessment, applying for funding, delivery of projects)
  • Educated to degree standard or comparable, relevant experience
