Based in Newhaven with travel to outreach and delivery locations in E. Sussex

Are you an efficient, proactive manager with community development experience looking for a new and different challenge? Thanks to National Lottery players, Sussex Community Development Association has received more than £440,000 from The National Lottery Community Fund for You Decide. The funding will be used to create a community funding programme that lets local people participate in deciding how grants are awarded.

The aim will be distributing small grants to grassroots voluntary & community groups using participant-led, decision making panels and an asset-based community development approach.

You will take responsibility for recruiting, training and supporting the participant decision makers and oversee the compliance and regulations around distribution of Lottery funds, ensuring that monies are awarded correctly. Working closely with SCDA’s finance team and management, you will ensure that reporting, monitoring and accuracy is observed which satisfies Lottery and SCDA procedures.

Ideally, you will have an understanding and ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds, helping enable and support them to overcome barriers and develop the necessary skills for good adjudication. Organised and with great management and communication skills, you will be able to supervise the participants with confidence, clarity and adaptability.

We are looking for people to join our team who have the qualities and skills we feel would most benefit our service users; professionalism, empathy, kindness and understanding. In return, we recognise people want to work in a supportive environment with friendly colleagues. We offer a flexible, hybrid approach to delivery wherever possible, annual leave of 25 days per year pro rata plus bank holidays and sick pay from the start (increasing with service), additional sick pay for necessary operations and recovery, a pension scheme, bereavement leave, and managers who are available to you… plus a day off for your birthday!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
