We are seeking a Funding Programme Officer to join our small, friendly team.
Friends Provident Foundation is a small, independent, endowed charity based in York with a big ambition to build a fair economy and better world. We strive to challenge the way the current economic system operates and provide funding to an ecosystem of organisations that believe in making the system more equitable, just and accountable.
As Funding Programme Officer, you will play an important role in the Foundation’s work to support our partner organisations in building a better economy, primarily through grant giving.
We are looking for someone who has experience of working in the charity or community sector and is interested in applying their experiences to the world of funding. We need someone who is highly organised, a good communicator, good at making judgements and decisions, and who can handle conversations with the public with sensitivity and tact.
The post can be partly home-based, but we do require weekly (one day minimum) attendance at our office in central York. The role involves some occasional travel within the UK to attend Trustee meetings and other events.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer, where equity and social justice is one of our central domains in creating a fair economy. We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds including age, disability, class, race, sexuality, and gender identity.
