Join the official charity of NHS Highland in the new role of Grants Officer

Are you passionate about making a difference through effective grant-making? This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in supporting NHS Highland’s official charity, helping to fund projects that improve experiences for patients, staff, and communities across the Highlands.

About the Role

We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Grants Officer to join NHS Highland’s charity team, supporting the work of the Highland Health Board Endowment Fund Charity, SC016791. The charity exists to enhance the physical and mental health of patients, social care service users, NHS Highland staff, and the wider community by funding projects that make a lasting impact.

• IT proficiency, particularly in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint) and ideally experience with grant management or CRM systems. The skills and knowledge to provide meaningful input to quality and process improvement tasks is vital.
• A proactive and flexible approach, able to work both independently and as part of a team, with a strong sense of personal accountability.

This role will suit someone who enjoys balancing detail with big-picture impact, who can combine sound governance with compassion, and who is motivated by helping charitable funds achieve their greatest potential for our NHS and the communities we serve.
