Is this role right for me?

  • We’re looking for someone who is keen to find out more about grant-making and management.
  • This role would be right for you if you’re keen to learn about the best ways of thinking about inclusivity when distributing money and support.

The application process

Before you apply

Join our ‘Ask Us Anything’ webinar on Monday 13th July at 12.30. Please register online ahead of the session.

You won’t see or hear other candidates, and you’ll be anonymous, so we don’t undermine our blind recruitment process. You really can ask us anything – about the role, the process, our work, culture, team.

Your application

We are committed to offering interviews to candidates who meet the role requirements and have lived experience of mental illness or a disability.

Once you have expressed your interest to Charity People, you will be sent a set of qualifying questions to answer – we do not accept cover letters as part of the application process. Your identity will be completely anonymous to the panel who will score your answers independently. We will only see your CV if you are shortlisted.

Submit your answers in written format or in a voice memo. We’ll type up any recordings to maintain anonymity.

Closing date: Tuesday 22nd July at 9am

Interviews (in person): 6th August or 10th August
