Find a freelance assessor

The Grant Assessor Network is a pool of grant assessors who work across the UK.

They have a wide range of skills which may include experience in working for Community Foundations, corporate foundations, national funders, capital programmes, place based funders and more. ​​​​

This service is for paid freelance grant assessor roles in the UK only. 

However, Volunteer Assessor roles can be considered on a case by case basis.

•   To add additional skills and experience to your assessment team

• During peak periods

•   When you have a member of staff going on leave and need additional cover

•   To relieve pressure/workload on your existing grants team

•   To help manage an oversubscribed fund

•   To ensure you meet deadlines

•   To help reduce waiting times for decisions for applicants

​​You can submit opportunities for all types of grant assessment including eligibility checking, scoring, written assessments and more.

To ensure consistency, when you post a role I request;

•    A brief description of the programme and funding themes

•    The type of assessment required

• Specific skills/experience required

•    Expected time commitment and key dates

•    Clear pay information for transparency

• It goes through a light touch manual check for clarity

• If Jennifer Fuller feels the role is a good fit it will be shared with the grant assessor network.

• Assessors then apply to funders directly, you specify how in your posting. You choose who to engage. Please note I don't shortlist, appoint, or manage assessors on your behalf.
  

Not all roles will be shared. I reserve my right to refuse to share a role for various reasons.

• It is not a recruitment agency

• I don't vet, endorse, approve or verify any individual in the grant assessor network

• I don't manage contracts or payments

• I don't guarantee assessor availability

• I don't take commission or recruitment fees

• Funders are responsible for their own recruitment, selection, due‑diligence, contracting, and safeguarding processes.
  

All contractual arrangements remain directly between the funder and the assessor.

Assessors engage with opportunities at their own discretion and are responsible for ensuring that they meet the requirements of any role they apply for, including declaring and managing conflicts of interest.

Posting an assessor role is free.
