About the role
You will be responsible for preparing and writing grant proposals and related documents to support funding applications from government agencies and private foundations.

You will write proposals, budgets, agreements, and other documents in the format required by each funding opportunity.

You’re comfortable using Microsoft Word and Excel, and you communicate well with people from different backgrounds. Experience with grant writing is preferred but not required – we’ll train you in the specific skills you need.
Working conditions
This is primarily a desk-based role. You’ll spend most of your time sitting at a computer, writing and researching. You’ll use standard office equipment including computers, copiers, and scanners. You may be required to use a personal or organisation vehicle for local travel.
