- Researching grants and funding opportunities.
- Identifying suitable funders and keeping track of application deadlines.

- Assist with reporting where required.
- Help maintain a simple funding calendar.
You will have access to all the necessary information about our services and programmes etc in order to prepare the applications.
We are looking for someone who:
- Has strong written communication skills.
- Is organised, reliable and able to manage deadlines.

We are a small team who are passionate about supporting our tamariki and would welcome you with open arms.
