AHF is seeking to appoint a Grants Officer to help deliver our core grants and advisory programme in Wales. This role has been created thanks to generous funding from Cadw, Welsh Government’s Historic Environment Division. This investment will enable AHF to provide grants to communities across Wales, helping them bring neglected historic buildings back into use.

The postholder will be responsible for assessing and managing a caseload of projects throughout Wales. They will advise and guide projects through each stage of the project lifecycle, from early viability through to capital works. They will ensure that grants, where offered, are allocated and monitored in accordance with programme criteria and priorities and will work closely with external partners to support shared objectives.

We are looking for candidates with strong experience in grant-making and project management, who can work collaboratively as part of a remote team and who can demonstrate a clear interest in AHF’s mission to promote the conservation and sustainable re‑use of historic buildings for the benefit of communities across the UK. Applicants must also have strong numerical skills and confidence using common IT and office systems. They must also have exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal in the English and Welsh languages.

The role will be home-based but with extensive travel across Wales and occasional travel throughout the UK.
