Blue Marine's Mission

Blue Marine Foundation seeks to protect and restore life in the ocean. Our mission is to see at least 30 per cent of the ocean protected by 2030 and the whole ocean sustainably managed. We support low-impact fishing and equitable use of the ocean and address overfishing – one of the world’s biggest environmental challenges.

The Role

We are looking for an organised, proactive and reliable individual to join our Restoration team as Solent Restoration Grant Administrator to help support the delivery of our exciting work across the Solent.

This role requires someone who is experienced in grant administration as you’ll play an important role in providing administrative, reporting and financial support across the Solent Seascape Project and the Solent Oyster Restoration Project. Reporting to Solent Seascape Project Coordinator, your role and responsibilities will cover:

Administration

  • Organising partnership meetings such as Working Group meetings, project update calls, steering committee meetings, as well as external stakeholder and community workshops and events.
  • Maintain an agreement register for project contracts, agreements and licences.
  • Maintain organised digital filing systems and clear documentation pathways for internal and external users.
  • Developing and managing compliance checklists to help ensure grant and funder requirements are met in relation to reporting, communications, branding and evidence collection.
  • Manage the project email inbox and responding to general enquiries.
  • Maintain project contact lists and databases
Finance

  • Support preparation and submission of grant claims.
Reporting

  • Supporting the development of reports and updates for the funders
  • Tracking project progress against committed deliverables and milestones
  • Coordinating partner invoicing and financial reporting.
Team contribution
  • Support the team in other appropriate tasks as and when required
  • Uphold Blue Marine’s values and always embody this behaviour internally and externally.
As with all roles at Blue Marine, this list is not exhaustive, and the selected candidate may be required to undertake other relevant tasks.

Skills and experience required

  • Strong organisational and administrative skills, with excellent attention to detail.
  • Proven experience supporting the management of project budgets, records, claims, timesheets, reporting evidence and audit trails.
