At the Medical Research Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of medical research. As an independent charitable foundation, we fund exceptional research into underfunded and emerging areas of health, areas where we can make the biggest impact. As we roll out an ambitious strategy to 2029, we’re looking for a Grants Officer to join our dedicated Research Team and help us deliver funding that has the potential to improve lives around the world.

You’ll play a central role in administering research funding competitions and supporting our portfolio of funded research. You will ensure our funding processes are fair, rigorous, and efficient, making sure the right researchers get the right support at the right time.

From managing day-to-day queries and processing applications to helping deliver scientific events and award ceremonies, this is a varied and rewarding role with plenty of scope for professional development.

We would like to hear from you if you can demonstrate:

• Experience of working, studying, or volunteering in a grant-giving or grant-management role, or a research funding organisation or science-related environment
• Clear communicate skills, in writing and verbally with colleagues, scientists, and other stakeholders
• Good analytical skills, with excellent attention to detail
• Strong project planning, organising and time-management skills with the flexibility to respond to team priorities and unexpected changes
• A high level of IT skills, specifically excellent MS Word, and excellent MS Excel.
• Working confidently in a team and be self-motivated to work alone

Our vision is a world where medical research improves health for everyone.

There are still many health conditions which impose a heavy burden on millions of people, in the UK and around the world. History has shown us, time and again, that the best way to achieve better human health is through medical research. We know that by investing now, we will see life-saving advances in the future and improvements in health for everyone.

We will offer a salary of between £32,000 and £35,000 per annum depending on experience for a 36-hour week. Ideally you will be a full-time employee, but we are happy to consider a part-time contract (min 0.8 FTE).

We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, so you will be based at our central London office for a minimum of three days a week (usually Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) with the option to work remotely for the remainder. This will be on a pro-rata basis for part time staff.

t the Medical Research Foundation, we believe that diversity drives creativity and innovation. We are dedicated to promoting equality of opportunity, fostering fairness and inclusion, and creating an environment where everyone feels that they belong.

We especially welcome applications from individuals from minoritised groups, including those from Black, Asian, and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, and members of the LGBTQI+ community.
