Would you like to join a focused and dynamic organisation that is working on behalf of an irreplaceable social asset?

Charitable foundations are a vital force for social good. At their best, they are the most transparent intentional and efficient way of transforming private wealth into public benefit. Since the 11th Century, they have embodied the belief that things can be better – mobilising funding, resources and expertise in the service of supporting others, whether by preserving social good that is under threat or catalysing it where it is absent.

Comprising a small, dedicated and ambitious staff team, ACF’s work sits at the intersection of private capital and public good, existing to support grant makers in their practice though the provision of information, advocacy and learning. More than ever ACF is looking to increase its influence and its impact, through the delivery of first class communications, robust policy interventions and nuanced thought leadership.

The Policy and Communications Officer will play a key role in helping us to further unlock the potential and impact of these areas of our work. They will:

  • Provide project management support to the policy and communications programmes
  • Be a strong communicator with flair for understanding, capturing and communicating stories of interest to our membership
  • Provide administrative support to the Head of Communications and the Head of Policy
  • Have a genuine interest in and be curious about foundations and the role they can play in societal change
  • Enjoy being a member of a small team; able to work collaboratively but also independently
