Work with us

The Grant Officer NSW plays a key role in the effective implementation of FRRR’s grant-making activity. The role will work with other Grant Officers and Grant Program Managers to support the effective administration of FRRR’s grant programs, including liaison with grant applicants, managing grants record keeping and correspondence as required, maintaining strong data integrity, conducting due diligence and research on grant applications and, as required, assisting with research and compiling grants case studies.

Key tasks and responsibilities include:

• Provide high quality support to the Program Manager in the day-to-day administration of grants, including due diligence, validation, grant assessments, preparation of Committee materials, grantee correspondence, and monitoring of grants across varying FRRR funding programs.
• Coordinate and process grant administration throughout the program cycle with a high degree of accuracy and attention to detail, including grant finance paperwork, grant/project reports and acquittals, correspondence with grant recipients, and general data maintenance of the grants management database and filing.
• Responding effectively and appropriately to grant seeker enquiries.
• Contribute to research and content for donor reports as required.

The organisation’s success depends on strong teamwork and streamlined business processes that enhance operational efficiency. A key responsibility of the Grants Officer will be to work in collaboration with others to coordinate and sustain those processes, as well as identify process improvement, as necessary. 

The role must also support FRRR to execute the Foundation’s mission. The role is suited to someone with a keen eye for detail, flair for administrative systems and processes, and interest in using their information management and customer relationship skills to improve opportunities in remote, rural, and regional Australia; and is keen to develop a knowledge of the Foundation’s programs and services.
