Thank you for your interest in this role!
Greenwich Hospital is the lead charitable funding organisation for the Royal Navy and wider Royal Navy Community. As such, we are able to facilitate the identification of needs and the setting of strategic priorities, build capacity, deliver significant impact and encourage enhanced collaboration within the Naval charity sector.
We have undertaken significant reform in order to generate increased income for grant making – which has risen from £5m in 2023 to £10m in 2026.
Part of this revision has been the implementation of a new grants strategy in 2024, which seeks in particular to evidence need in order to guide the current and future funding of charitable support, with the expansion of our proactive and preventative funding to support education, young people and families. Our grants now encompass more preventative and wellbeing-enhancing education delivery not covered by public funding.
Following a review of our education and employment funding strategies, we are now focussing on widening our funding support beyond the longstanding bursary scheme for the Royal Hospital School. We are funding new educational programmes (such as free tutoring support) and developmental extra-curricular programmes with varied activities for children in order to enhance social mobility, compensate for the disadvantages of service life and enhance retention in service. This is undertaken in partnership with the Naval Children’s Charity, Royal Naval Sailing Association and Andrew Simpson Foundation. These funding streams also include increased focus on supporting partners of serving personnel with life opportunities and employability programmes.
Engaging with the research community to fill knowledge gaps has been key to the identification and balancing of current against future need, enabling accurate financial forecasting and income generation. We have recently completed our first long-term study of the welfare needs of the RN/RM community with granular demographic and qualitative data running through to 2040, and have now developed a sustainable funding strategy out to then.
This work has been led and overseen by our current Research and Education Grants Manager over the last two years. She will be going on maternity leave in mid-September, so we seek to recruit maternity cover for a fixed-term period of 14 months to join our charity team of four. The expected start date will be the beginning of September, but we hope the successful candidate will be able to meet with the current Manager occasionally before then.
Working alongside strategic partners, we will keep our grant priorities under regular review and adjust according to evidenced need. The Research and Education Grants Manager plays a significant role in this life enhancing work.
It is expected that the current Research and Education Grants Manager will return to work, therefore this maternity cover role will be made redundant at the expiry of its term.

Demand for our specialist tutoring programmes for Children Looked After, those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) and Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children (UASC) continues to increase and we are seeking a dedicated and effective Partnerships Account Manager to join our team and support the increased demand for our provision and the continued scaling of our organisation.
The Organisation
Equal Education is a social enterprise working to improve outcomes and narrow the attainment gap for disadvantaged and vulnerable learners, including Children Looked After, those with SEND, and unaccompanied asylum seeking children. We have over 13 years’ experience delivering 1:1 tuition, working with hundreds of Schools and Local Authority partners across the country, reaching hundreds of pupils annually.
As a member of the Fair Education Alliance, we believe in providing meaningful educational provision to students whose needs may not be best met within a traditional classroom environment, those who aren’t currently accessing education, or who benefit from additional 1:1 support. We work with over 200 qualified teachers to provide academic, subject specialised and individual tutoring and mentoring for children of all ages. Tutors provide pastoral care and work with pupils to increase engagement and attainment. Our programmes will help the students to overcome barriers to learning, help them build trusted relationships, increase their aspirations, and fulfil their potential. We are passionate about our cause and are looking for people who are motivated by a strong desire to address educational inequality and improve outcomes.

This senior leadership position is pivotal to our mission, overseeing the strategic direction and delivery of our work to transform the systems that impact refugee learners.
The Head of Education Change leads Pillar 3: Education Change, the branch of REUK dedicated to systemic transformation. Currently, the UK education systems lack overarching policy frameworks to support the integration of refugee learners, and there are key evidence gaps in what works best in education for refugee children. School leaders and teachers want to help, but lack the needed training and support. Good practice is often hidden and the expertise of young refugees is not considered in policy making.
As the Head of Education Change, you will be responsible for bridging these gaps. You will lead a multidisciplinary team to influence national policies, improve educational practices, and ensure that the expertise of young refugees is at the heart of decision-making. Your remit will span research and policy, advocacy, youth leadership, and training/capacity building to ensure that the good practice currently hidden in pockets of the UK becomes the standard across the board. This is a role for a strategic and humble leader who believes in working with, not just for, those with lived experience.
We are looking for a postholder able to operate from and maintain a posture of hope that things can and must be better for children and young people whose lives have been torn apart by war, and who is able to bridge divides in order to communicate how much this matters.
Education for a hopeful future: we enable refugee youth to access, remain and progress in education.
