Funding Support Officer

Role Details

The Coalfields Regeneration Trust (CRT) is the only community wealth building charity dedicated to the regeneration of Britain’s coalfield communities. For over 25 years, the CRT has worked with communities to deliver a breadth of projects creating opportunities for people, strengthening the role of community organisations and identifying place based solutions responsive to the challenges still experienced in former coalmining towns and villages. To support delivery, the CRT has developed an innovative community wealth-building model generating sustainable income to deliver both social and economic value. Enabled by engaging key stakeholders, partners and, most importantly the communities, activities delivered are personalised to meet the needs of the people, the organisations and the place.

The post will support the Development Manager of the CRT Support Programme. Our CRT Support membership programme provides free support to voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations operating in coalfield communities. Organisations can access funding support, data and statistics, training and workshops and support from our partners, as well as becoming part of a network of organisations across the coalfields.

Our CRT Support members play a key role in improving lives in Britain’s coalfield communities and our support aims to strengthen those organisations, building capacity and resilience, enabling them to provide valuable services where they are needed most.

The Funding Support Officer will assist our CRT Support member organisations to access funding opportunities, including CRT grants.
