An exciting opportunity has arisen for a candidate with the right experience who is looking to develop skills in grant management, and project development and delivery within the charity, public or higher education sector.
The Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland was founded in 1901 by Scots American millionaire Andrew Carnegie to promote equal access to, and excellence in, higher education in Scotland. For the past 120 years we have provided grants and scholarships to learners and researchers in Scottish universities, helping those who are unable to secure public support and those facing financial hardship to access higher education.
Under a new Chief Executive, the Trust is developing a refreshed Strategic Plan focused on enhancing the impact and influence of our funding. This post has been created to support the effective delivery of our core grant programmes and to provide wider support to the delivery of a new Strategic Projects Fund focused on bringing objective independent insights to aid policy development and address key challenges facing the higher education sector.
If you share our passion for ensuring equal access to higher education and advancing thinking and debates on the future of post-school education in Scotland, then we’d love to hear from you.
You will use your experience to help deliver positive impact from our grant schemes and investments supporting their effective delivery by assessing funding requests and providing grants and project support. You will join a small team of staff members in ensuring that Carnegie’s legacy continues to deliver positive outcomes for learners in Scotland.
