About the role
Grants and Information Officers are the principal point of contact for individuals and organisations who want our help, support and funding. The provision of advice and information, from answering enquiries to attending funding fairs, is one of our most important services and the quality with which we deliver this service has a key impact on our overall reputation and credibility.
Grant giving is at the core of our work, and its effective delivery is at the heart of this team’s work. Grant and Information Officers shape funding programmes and are responsible for the assessment and monitoring of lottery project grants throughout Wales. Working closely with Relationship Managers, they ensure the delivery of an efficient, streamlined service for applicants.
Grants and Information Officers are advocates for the Arts Council, its work and the activities it supports, and they help encourage the development of positive and collaborative relationships with artists and arts organisations.
