Grants manager poverty premium (maternity cover)

Trust for London is recruiting for a temporary grants manager to lead our ending the poverty premium funding portfolio.

We launched the poverty premium programme when we refreshed our funding strategy in 2024 to tackle the additional costs faced by people on low incomes. The programme has since developed a clear focus on financial inclusion, debt and a just energy transition. We support work that challenges the systems, policies and markets that create the poverty premium, and are particularly interested in approaches that expose unfairness and develop practical solutions.

The portfolio brings together a diverse range of work, from community organising and lived experience research to policy change and innovation. You’ll help steward this growing portfolio during a period of maternity cover.

As a small organisation, the way we work together matters. We’re looking for someone who enjoys sharing ideas, learning and working collaboratively.

If you think this role and team would be a good fit for you, we’d like to hear from you.

SALARY: £60,970 per annum (pro rated £30,485 for 17.5 hours per week to £36,582 for 21 hours per week)
