Grants and Bids Officer

The Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families supports distressed children and their families through innovative therapeutic practice and research, training and promoting awareness of mental health issues.

Reporting to the Grants and Bids Manager, the Grants and Bids Officer will assemble and submit grant requests, establish and maintain contact and relationships with statutory and foundation contacts, conduct prospect research, and maintain a calendar of submissions and other deadlines.

This is an exceptional opportunity for a motivated, hard-working candidate, who is looking for a career in fundraising. The role covers many aspects of fundraising, including grant management, research, event support and income generation activities – an interest in working across and gaining experience in all these areas is vital.
