Unity Fund Grants Coordinator (Volunteer role)
We're looking for an experienced administrator or project manager to support the administration of our Unity Fund.
Your Pride In London
2022 marked the 50th anniversary of Pride in the UK and we are now planning for the future, making it an exciting time to join Pride in London as a volunteer.
Pride in London has a renewed sense of purpose to highlight the challenges still facing the LGBT+ community today despite progress. We are run by a group of volunteers who are passionate about equality and diversity and are drawn from all walks of life. Pride aims to raise awareness of LGBT+ issues and campaign for the freedoms that will allow all of our community to live their lives on a genuinely equal footing.
Around 150 people volunteer year-round to help us deliver what has become a world-class Pride. It is our intention for Pride in London to best represent all parts of our community.
We continue to actively encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, particularly women, people of colour and those from the trans and non-binary communities.
Your Role
The Unity Fund is now a core part of Pride in London's platform and to support the ongoing grants activity we are looking for a fun, outgoing and organised Grants Coordinator. This role will ensure that programmes are delivered at pace and to schedule. Whilst this is initially a largely administrative role, it is also an opportunity to gain real insight into grassroots LGBT+ organisations.
Your responsibilities:
- Coordination of all Unity Fund applications
- First point of contact for all applicants and grantees
- To carry out eligibility check on applications in accordance with Unity Fund Guideline
- To support the payment of successful grantees
- To lead on maintaining grantee and applicant data including logging any communications and interactions
- To work with the Communications Team to ensure maximum use of social media and online communication and interactions.
- Any other task which are commensurate with the role which may be required from time to time
What you’ll need:
- Administration or project management experience, ideally (but not essentially) in the grant making or charity sector.
- Genuine interest in LGBT+ issues.
- Outstanding Attention to detail.
- Ability to work collaboratively and flexibly to tight deadlines.
- The willingness to get stuck in and make an impact
What you’ll get joining Pride in London
- A friendly and welcoming induction course and a variety of training that’s offered throughout the year
- An opportunity to get new and relevant professional experience
- A chance to broaden your professional network
- Play an important part in delivering the Pride in London event
- Social opportunities to meet the diverse and friendly bunch who volunteer for Pride in London
Diversity & Inclusion
Our volunteer team is more than amazing – they inspire great ideas, generate needed sponsorship, drive forward our operational plans, capture Pride moments and help make Pride in London a fantastic place to volunteer and work.
We endeavour to attract and recruit a diverse mix of employees and volunteers who are representative of the diversity in our LGBT+ communities which gives us a great opportunity to have access to a broad range of ideas and allows us to to deliver an inclusive event that you expect from Pride in London. Therefore, we actively encourage applications from diverse backgrounds, particularly women, people of colour and those from the trans and non-binary communities.
Our Culture
Our volunteers are driven and passionate about what they do. Putting on one of London's largest one-day events requires dedication and perseverance.
Although a lot of our work is completed remotely, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet with your team and others throughout the year to not only plan what's ahead but to socialise too.
We're looking for enthusiastic people to join the organisation so we can provide a platform for every part of London’s LGBT+ community.
