In the spring of 2025, the Vivensa Foundation launched its new strategic framework and identity. Formerly known as the Dunhill Medical Trust, it was back in the 1980s that our founder's niece recognised that the shifting demographics would drive a need for investment in a high-quality research base to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of ageing and ageing-related disease, together with the delivery of innovation to improve health and social care services for older people.
Our charitable objects were never more relevant than they are today and the opportunities are immense to support our academic and clinical researcher community to make real systemic change.
Today, we are the stewards of an endowment valued at around £170M, and have committed to distributing at least £30M over the next five years in in grant funding. We have also ring-fenced a part of our endowment for social investment. You can read more about our Strategic Framework here.
We now have a full time, permanent vacancy for an aspiring grants management professional to help us to deliver our strategic plan. As a member of the Grants Team and reporting to the Director of Research, you will be a primary point of contact for organisations applying for funding for academic or clinical research, as well as working with the team to develop, implement and evaluate our funding streams. As such, you will make key contributions to the development and delivery of our core services, reinforcing our reputation for high quality and support for the research community. If you’d like to explore using your grants management experience or research training in a subject area relevant to the work of the Foundation in a slightly different context, identify with our values and have the great attention to detail, flexible “can do” attitude and restless curiosity essential to the success of a small, expert team, go to our website to download the full job description and person specification and find out how to apply.

We want our recruitment process to be as accessible as possible. If you need us to make an adjustment or provide additional support as you apply for a role, please contact our Head of Compliance and Development to discuss how we can help.
Spring supports people in crisis to gain independence and live healthy lives in a connected, supportive community through our hub and activities.
