About Emerging Futures

The Joseph Rowntree Foundation is an independent social change organisation, working to support and speed up the transition to a more equitable and just future, free from poverty, where people and planet can flourish. Our Emerging Futures programme, established in 2022, has 3 aims:

1. We support, shield, connect and nurture organisations and collaborations demonstrating what just and regenerative futures could look like
    
2. We build capacities and create conditions that will move us towards regenerative and just futures
    
3. We learn and model the behaviours and ways of working that are required of wealth-holders in these times of transition.

We are working with partners across multiple fields who are shaping new ideas, new power structures and new infrastructures for long-term systems change.

Now in the second year of a five‑year, £45 million commitment approved by our Trustees, Emerging Futures is continuing to develop programmes across place‑based work in York and the North East, transformative wealth practices, and regenerative futures.

We are building a new Conditions and Capacities team, which this role will be a key part of – a growing, collaborative team dedicated to ensuring we have the organisational conditions and individual and collective capabilities needed for this work - including team stewarding, learning and knowledge infrastructure, storytelling and programme management systems.

About the role

We are looking for a Programme and Partnerships Coordinator to ensure the smooth operation of programme and partnership management systems across all Emerging Futures programmes, ensuring our programme and partnership management systems reflect our commitment to centering equity, power and justice in our work.

In this role, you will assist programme teams in tracking progress, monitoring budgets and gathering information to enable seamless delivery. Working closely with the Programme and Partnerships Lead and the Core team, you will help develop and implement programme and partnership management systems, while collaborating with the Procurement and Finance teams to maintain strong relationships throughout contracting processes.

You will also manage the administrative aspects of commissioning and contracting, ensuring information is provided on time and that partners experience a smooth and efficient process. A key part of the role is managing programme information within Emerging Futures and the wider JRF, working alongside other members of the conditions and capacities team to capture insights and share and embed learning across knowledge systems.

Additionally, you will gather and analyse data about our partners, sharing insights across the team, and scan emerging ideas and practices in programme operations. By identifying opportunities for Emerging Futures to pilot and learn from innovative approaches, you will help the programme remain at the forefront of programme management practice.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a dynamic programme and help shape the way we work and learn in partnership with others.

About you

Our ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of project management tools and techniques and be able to apply anti-oppressive principles and practices to the design and development of operational systems. You will have experience supporting the delivery of complex projects in fast-changing contexts, alongside a proven track record of successfully managing relationships with external stakeholders who have diverse expertise and needs. Equally, you will be adept at building positive, collaborative relationships across internal teams with different priorities and ways of working.

You will be highly organised and skilled at prioritising tasks, maintaining accurate and up-to-date information and ensuring it is easily accessible to others. Strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential with a good level of numeracy to understand and convey financial information. You will have excellent skills in IT, including MS Office, Google Drive, online meeting platforms and project management/collaboration tools such as Asana, Mural and Notion.

Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

As our Senior People Services Manager, you’ll lead the day-to-day heartbeat of People Services and make sure every colleague has a smooth, supportive and high-quality experience throughout their time with us.

You’ll be the person who keeps things running brilliantly: setting the pace for operational delivery, supporting managers with confidence, and making sure our processes are simple, clear and compliant – ensuring delivery through an experienced and high-performing People Services Team. You’ll work closely with People & Culture, Finance, IT and leaders across the charity to drive a consistent, joined up service that helps people do their best work.

This is a hands-on leadership role partnering with People & Culture leadership and peers to drive the People Strategy and foster a high-performance, inclusive culture. You’ll shape how we deliver People Services, spotting ways to improve, simplify and modernise what we do. You’ll lead a team covering critical activity relating to all stages of the employee lifecycle, from onboarding, contracts, HR systems and data, payroll oversight, policies and employee relations, and you’ll be the operational authority and escalation point for complex or high-risk issues.

Some of the work you and your team will be getting involved in includes:

• Leading and developing the People Services & Payroll team so they have clarity, support and space to thrive.
• Making sure onboarding, contracts, and offboarding all run smoothly and consistently, with a great colleague experience.
• Overseeing HR systems and data to maintain accuracy, insight and compliance.
• Working with People Experience & Communications colleagues to refresh and embed people policies in a way that feels simple and supportive and encourages co-creation.
• Coaching managers on inclusive, confident people leadership and helping them handle tricky issues with care and clarity.
• Taking the lead on complex employee relations cases, change processes or emerging risks, and ensuring we handle things fairly and consistently.
• Driving continuous improvement - whether that’s simplifying a workflow, introducing a digital tool, or building capability across the organisation.
• Providing operational insight to support strategy, planning, resourcing and decision-making at leadership level.

This is an influential role with real scope to strengthen how our People Services function supports the organisation every day.

What we want from you

We’re looking for someone who brings a blend of operational confidence, sound judgement, people leadership and a passion for improving how things work and who is comfortable and able to thrive in a fast-paced and reactive enabling function.

The ideal candidate will bring:

• Strong HR operations experience at a senior level, with CIPD Level 5 or equivalent knowledge.
• Expertise in employee relations, including handling complex or sensitive cases with fairness, clarity and confidence.
• Experience overseeing payroll operations and HR systems, with a practical understanding of data accuracy, GDPR and people metrics.
• A natural adaptability to changing priorities and an ability to build trust and influence across all levels - someone who can coach managers, support colleagues and work in partnership with senior leaders.
• A continuous improvement mindset: you enjoy simplifying processes, solving problems and creating clarity – and you naturally collaborate and take the team with you on journeys of change rather than imposing a singular view.
• Experience leading or developing a team, with a supportive, inclusive and empowering approach.
• Strong organisational skills - you can juggle priorities, manage workflow pressures and keep the team focused on what matters most.
• A balanced blend of empathy and pragmatism, with a confident, solution focused approach to decision-making.
• A genuine belief in the role People Services plays in creating a positive, high performing organisation.

You’ll thrive here if you enjoy improving systems, supporting people, leading a committed team and making day-to-day People services work brilliantly.

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
