About the role
A Grants Officer keeps teams aligned with the terms of an award throughout its life cycle. The panel will assess whether you can interpret agreements, reconcile programme and financial information, manage changes and help partners meet obligations with a traceable record of decisions.
How to prepare
- Prepare an example of turning an award agreement into a practical compliance checklist.
- Review how budget changes, project changes and prior approvals should be documented.
- Think through how you reconcile narrative claims with expenditure and supporting evidence.
- Prepare an example of strengthening a partner's grant management rather than repeatedly correcting its work.
- Practise explaining a serious compliance risk clearly to a programme manager.
Common mistakes
- Assuming a reasonable programme change is automatically allowable under the award.
- Checking a donor report for writing quality but not for evidence and financial consistency.
- Keeping compliance knowledge with the grants team instead of briefing those who spend or deliver.
