We're hiring: Programme Assistant

We are hiring three Programme Assistants

About us

The Henry Smith Foundation is one of the UK’s largest grant-making foundations. We back organisations and their leaders with bold ideas dedicated to making social change now.

The role

Every grant decision we make affects someone at a turning point in their life. Those decisions shouldn’t stall because a meeting hasn’t been scheduled or a query hasn’t been answered.

We’re hiring three Programme Assistants to keep three grant-making teams running.

The work is administrative. Diaries, meetings, papers, queries from organisations applying for funding for the first time, and occasional research when the team needs information quickly. When this role is done well, programme staff can focus on making good decisions rather than chasing actions or untangling scheduling conflicts.
