Do you want to improve the lives of people with disabilities and vulnerable people?
Humanity & Inclusion (HI) is an award-winning international humanitarian and development organisation. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we take action and raise awareness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respects for their dignity and fundamental rights.
Our UK team is looking for an enthusiastic and committed individual to join us as a Programme Funding Officer (PFO).

If this sounds like the next role for you, we’d love to welcome you to our friendly and dedicated team.
Equal opportunities policy
HI UK is committed to diversity and inclusion. We recognise that discrimination shapes the opportunities that many people have in society and that people have different needs in order to realise their full potential. Addressing this requires organisations to be proactive in creating environments that encourage the inclusion and development of all. Though we still have a long way to go, inclusion is central to our identity at HI UK and we are strongly committed to the continuous work that it requires.

Are you a proactive, highly organised and friendly team player with solid administrative knowledge? Are you seeking a dynamic and engaging role which offers a wide range of experience and development in key areas of charity work? Would you like to play an important role in working towards a world where women have equal economic rights and opportunities to men?
Since 2010, we’ve directly supported over 200,000 women entrepreneurs in low and middle income countries through our business skills and mentoring programmes, and influenced global change to close the gender gap in entrepreneurship through our advocacy work. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and energetic individual who is eager to make a difference to join our team as our new Senior Research and Database Officer and help us achieve even greater impact!
This will be a position that you can truly make your own, where you will play a key role in enabling our work by supporting our fundraising and ensuring our charity is strong and efficient. This dynamic and engaging position offers the unique opportunity to work and gain experience within two key departments. The role sits within the Corporate Services team, however your time will be split equally between that and the Partnerships (fundraising) team, providing high-quality, essential support, research and admin services across fundraising, partnerships development, finance, human resources, IT and general administration. Given the wide variety of support required you will need to be willing to adapt and respond to the needs of both departments and the wider organisation if needed.
Your work will enable the Foundation to operate efficiently and effectively, and grow its income and partnerships, thereby achieving long term, sustainable growth for the Foundation and supporting incredible impact for women entrepreneurs in low and middle income countries. If you are looking to learn and develop a wide range of skills in a values-driven and fast-paced charity environment, and to contribute to long-term global development and women’s rights, then this is the role for you.
This is a full time, permanent role at 35 hours per week, with core office hours being 10.30am to 3.30pm. Our team is currently hybrid working from home and office, and you’ll need to work from our central London office (W1) a minimum of two days a week.
This role’s starting salary is £26,370 PA, and this will increase annually as you move up in your pay grade. You’ll be entitled to a fantastic package of 28 days of annual leave (which includes three that must be taken at Christmas), plus plenty of other benefits and a caring, supportive, collaborative work environment. Our team also enjoys high-quality training and other development and enrichment opportunities.
