Job summary:

Government Grant funding plays an important role domestically, in areas such as education, research, civil society and innovation, as well as abroad through international aid projects.

Grant spending accounts for around 16% of all UK Government expenditure (2021/22).

Part of the Government Grants and Commercial Directorate, the Government Grants Management Function (GGMF) works to ensure that every pound of Government Grants annual spend (£172bn in 2021/22) makes a difference to the economy and to communities.

We are a dynamic, inclusive and nationally based Function working at the heart of Government to provide strategic leadership and set grant-making standards.

We work with Government departments and their agencies to deliver grants more efficiently, effectively, transparently and safely protecting public money from fraud and maximising value for money.

Our work requires a diverse set of skills and expertise and we are committed to supporting individuals develop their skills and experience, improve their performance and build their career with us.

We have a track record of delivering efficiency in grants administration, increasing effectiveness in grant funding, reducing loss through fraud, and driving innovation in digital solutions.

Through our collective efforts we have delivered true value to the public and we are excited to be taking the next steps in our journey.

With this, comes the exciting opportunity to become a part of the Grant's Family. We can't wait to hear from you
