Contract type: Permanent

About the Health Foundation

Health is our most precious asset. Good health enables us to live happy, fulfilling lives, fuels our prosperity and helps build a stronger society. Yet good health remains out of reach for too many people in the UK, and health and care services are struggling to provide access to timely, high-quality care.

The Health Foundation is an independent charitable organisation with a mission to build a healthier UK. We work to achieve this by generating high-quality research and analysis; developing practical solutions to the biggest problems in health and health services; engaging, convening and building coalitions to build understanding, inform debate and drive action; and developing the long-term capability needed to transform health and care.

Our values

We expect everyone who works with us to be committed to our values and to share our commitment to becoming a more diverse and inclusive organisation. Our values are impact, evidence, integrity, and collaboration. You can read more about them in our five-year strategy. We also expect everyone to share our commitment to becoming a more diverse and inclusive organisation and to help deliver our EDI Strategy.

About the role

This role will lead our agenda around the role of welfare to support the working age population to maintain good health and support people with long term health conditions or disability when they are unable to work or participate.  The Commission for Healthier Working Lives identified a number of issues with welfare support which effectively disincentivise people from accessing and staying in work and the purpose of this role is to make the case for change and point to potential solutions.

The post holder will have a strong understanding of the current welfare agenda, and particularly what this means for people with long term health conditions and disability.  Working with the Senior Fellow, you will identify the opportunities to shape better policy, providing decision makers with the evidence and clear recommendations.  As well as conducting your own analysis, you will help commission policy research projects from internal and external experts and provide oversight for these projects.

Developing your own profile as an expert, you will also lead or support drafting of external outputs, speak at external events and grow and maintain external stakeholder relationships.  The role provides a real opportunity to have a voice to influence the future shape of health and welfare policies and practice.

To find out more about the role and what we are looking for, please read the job description.

How to apply

Our priority is to find the right individual for each opportunity. We are dedicated to building an inclusive workplace that values diversity and invite you to find out more.

If you would like to apply, please submit your CV and answer the application questions below. Please try to limit your response to each question to no more than 300 words.

• What interests you most about this role and how do you think your experience would help The Health Foundation to influence change in the welfare system?
• Tell us about a time when you built relationships with a range of stakeholders to achieve a shared objective. How did you establish credibility, manage different priorities or perspectives and what was the outcome?

Our commitment to equality, inclusion and diversity

We are committed to an inclusive hiring process, where every candidate has the chance to showcase their unique skills and experience in an accessible and supported environment, to ensure that we can make the best appointment for each opportunity on merit. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and encourage those from underrepresented groups in this field to apply to us. We have identified three key areas to improving diversity. Our aim is to achieve a more balanced representation across our organisation, with a particular focus on increasing the number of women in leadership, enhancing the representation of people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds and welcoming more people with disabilities. As part of this commitment, we strongly encourage applications from these groups.

This is an opportunity to build on existing success and play a key strategic role in securing funding that enables us to deliver life-changing services.

• Identifying and researching new funding opportunities.
• Working with colleagues to shape innovative, fundable projects.
• Writing compelling funding applications for charitable trusts and foundations.
• Building and stewarding strong relationships with funders.
• Managing grant reporting, compliance and impact reporting.
• Working collaboratively across the organisation to maximise funding opportunities.
• Championing best practice in trusts and foundations fundraising.

What We Offer:

· Comprehensive paid training and excellent career progression opportunities, including recognised qualifications in health and social care

You'll also have:

· A successful track record of securing five and six-figure grants.

· Experience developing persuasive, high-quality funding applications.

· Knowledge of major grant funders, such as The National Lottery, Lloyds Bank Foundation and Garfield Weston Foundation.

· Excellent relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.

· The ability to influence and collaborate across teams without direct line management responsibility.

· Strong project management and organisational skills.

Experience within the charity, health, social care or disability sectors would be advantageous, although we welcome applicants with transferable experience from other sectors.

We are looking for someone to help power frontline freshwater conservation. As Programme Administrator for the Central Area Regional Programme, you’ll keep the people, projects and partnerships moving — turning plans into action and action into lasting change for rivers, wetlands and wildlife.

Working with managers, project teams and partners, you’ll provide the essential coordination that keeps a busy conservation programme organised, responsive and on track.

You’ll help drive the programme by:

• Coordinating meetings, workshops and events
• Keeping records, reports, inboxes and databases sharp and up to date
• Supporting grants, contracts, invoices and procurement
• Tracking actions, deadlines and follow-ups so delivery stays on course

We need someone who brings:

• Excellent organisation and attention to detail
• Confidence juggling priorities, deadlines and people
• Initiative, clear communication and sound administrative experience
• Strong Microsoft Office and database skills, plus a collaborative approach

You don't need to have a conservation background, but an interest in supporting work that helps protect and restore freshwater habitats would be a real advantage.

About FIGO

Every year, hundreds of thousands of women die from causes that are preventable. FIGO, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics, brings together expertise globally to address this. We are the world's largest alliance of professional societies of obstetricians and gynecologists, working across more than 142 countries to improve the health, rights and lives of women and girls globally. We work through obstetricians and gynecologists and their professional societies, supporting them to advance high-quality reproductive and maternal healthcare by strengthening health systems, influencing policy and raising the standards of practice in their countries. At global level, we harness clinical knowledge to produce global evidence and standards on women’s health. 

The role

This role is within the Programmes and Partnerships team, which secures and manages funding from institutional funders. As a Programme Manager, you will lead day-to-day delivery and management of FIGO projects across the full project cycle. This will include the Advocating for Safe Abortion (ASA) programme, a multi-country initiative now in its seventh year, working with national professional societies of obstetricians and gynecologists across Francophone West Africa to drive change in policy, clinical practice and societal attitudes on abortion care. This is complex, multi-partner work in a politically sensitive area. It requires judgement, strong relationships, and the ability to hold both the detail and the bigger picture. We’re looking for someone with:

• Proven experience of managing institutionally funded projects in global health or international development, across the full project lifecycle.
• Experience managing advocacy-focused projects and working with a diverse range of partners across multiple countries.
• Strong skills in financial management, donor reporting and partner coordination.
• Experience developing and implementing monitoring, evaluation and learning frameworks on projects.
• Fluency in both English and French (written and spoken) — essential for this role.
• Familiarity with sexual and reproductive health and rights, or experience working in West Africa, is a strong advantage.
• Travel to West Africa will be essential.

This is a part-time role at 3 days per week, initially contracted until January 2029. FIGO's Programmes and Partnerships portfolio is growing, and we anticipate opportunities to extend or expand the role beyond that.
