The Researcher & Writer (Grant Funding)

The Opportunity

Bruck Syndrome Charity (Registered UK Charity Number: 1216729) is a small but mighty organisation dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by a rare genetic disorder that causes brittle bones and joint contractures. To fund our vital support groups, financial grants for families, and future research, we need to tap into trust and foundation funding.

We are looking for a highly organised and persuasive writer to help us identify and apply for small grants. If you love researching, organising information, and telling compelling stories, your skills could directly fund life-changing equipment and support for our community.

What You Will Do

• Prospecting: Research and identify family trusts, foundations, and corporate giving programs that align with our mission (rare diseases, disability support, medical research).
• Drafting: Write compelling, clear, and concise grant applications or letters of inquiry based on our existing charity data and goals.
• Tracking: Help us maintain a simple spreadsheet tracking application deadlines, requirements, and responses.

Qualifications

• Excellent written communication skills with a persuasive, professional tone.
• Highly organised and capable of independent research.
• Previous experience in grant writing, technical writing, or academic research is a huge plus, but not required if you are a strong writer willing to learn!
