As Senior Administrator you will be responsible for developing administrative systems; processing grant applications, reports and claims; collating and presenting monitoring data and setting up and supporting grant panel meetings. Your role will be to ensure that grant applicants and grantees have an excellent experience of the grant programmes and that the administrative and financial requirements of funding bodies are met.
