The London Community Foundation (LCF) is delivering third round The London Mayor’s Office for Policing and Crime’s (MOPAC) £6m Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) Grassroots Fund.

We are seeking experienced External Grants Assessors with specialist knowledge of work addressing Violence Against Women and Girls to assess applications for grants up to £160,000, to be delivered over a three-year period. Applicants must have excellent analytical, written and verbal communication skills, good knowledge of the voluntary and community sector and a strong understanding of the issues linked to violence against women, related intersectional protected characteristics and the types of appropriate intervention and support.

For further information please read the full role description (below).

We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) women candidates as the programme is focussed on organisations which are led by and for BAME communities. We therefore invite any female candidates who identify themselves as from a BAME background to state this as part of their cover letter, alongside addressing each point in the person specification.
