Funding and budget manager jobs
Anticipated timeframe: 25 September 2025 to 30 November 2025
Location: Kaduna, Nigeria or Bangladesh
Person days: Up to 15 person days
Background to project work
1. Inclusive Family Planning Project (IFPLAN)
Sightsavers is implementing several disability inclusive projects in Nigeria, Kenya and Bangladesh under the global consortium led Disability Inclusive Development (DID) programme. The DID programme is guided by the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and aims to develop evidence of what works to deliver results for people with disabilities.
The Inclusive family planning project (IFPLAN) implemented in Kaduna state is part of the Disability Inclusive Development (DID) programme, under the Inclusive Futures umbrella, funded by FCDO and will be led by Sightsavers in a consortium with BBC Media Action.
The project implemented from January 2022 to December 2025 has a budget of approximately £2.9 million and aims to achieve three key outcomes:
1. People with disabilities having increased knowledge of intention to use, and perceived support from others to access, available family planning services.
2. Service providers delivering inclusive, accessible healthcare services and information to people with disabilities.
3. OPDs meaningfully engaging in policy and decision-making processes and advocating for disability inclusion in the health sector through different structures.
IFPLAN seeks to strengthen its ability to systematically capture, analyse, and use evidence of outcomes generated through its inclusive and accessible SRHR intervention in Kaduna. Outcome Harvesting (OH) will offer a participatory and unique approach to identifying, verifying, and interpreting outcomes particularly reflective of the activities implemented through IFPLAN’s work which as earlier noted involved various approaches of interventions in the community and through the mainstream and digital media.
2. Shikhbo Shobai Inclusive Education Program
The Disability Inclusive Development (DID)-Education is a consortium program led by Sightsavers in partnership with ADD International, and Sense International aims to strengthening systems for the enrolment, retention and support of children with disabilities at primary level of mainstream education in Bangladesh. The program in Bangladesh is ending in December 2025. The primary goal of the Task Order 45 (TO45) is to ensure children of 5-10 years old have access to some form of education and support and to reach children with severe and multiple disabilities who are now excluded from the education provision. The program mapped out the target groups and key stakeholders to achieve strategic outcomes. They are children with severe and multiple disabilities, parents/caregivers, organization of peoples with disability (OPD), school administration, and the community people. The program is implemented in 45 (forty-five) government primary schools (GPS) in three Upazila (Narshingdi Sadar, Tarash, Sirajganj Sadar) under two districts (Narshingdi and Sirajganj).

Join Beacon to drive projects that place patients at the heart of translational research, shaping progress and improving outcomes with and for rare disease communities.
OVERVIEW OF THE ROLE
Beacon, now in its second decade of operation, has experienced substantial growth over the last three years, including an organisational rebrand and expansion into international projects. We are now recruiting a Senior Patient and Scientific Engagement Officer to play a central role in delivering ambitious projects that put patients at the heart of translational research.
This role sits at the crossroads of patient involvement and scientific communication, building meaningful collaborations between patients, researchers, and other stakeholders. You’ll provide essential operational support and subject expertise to ensure projects run smoothly and reflect the real-world needs of the rare disease community.
You will contribute primarily to two of Beacon’s major collaborative initiatives: REMEDi4ALL, a European-wide drug repurposing platform with over 25 partner organisations, and the LifeArc Translational Research Centres for Rare Disease (LifeArc TrC4RD), a UK-wide partnership. In this role, you will work directly and regularly with partners across these consortia, encompassing patient group leaders, patient representatives, academic researchers, clinical trialists, and beyond. You will act as a vital interface between patients and researchers in both projects, coordinating activities, facilitating collaboration, and embedding patient perspectives throughout the work. While these will be your main focus, you will also support other initiatives across the charity, particularly those aimed at advancing scientific understanding of rare diseases and strengthening patient involvement in research.
This is a varied position offering the chance to apply and further develop your expertise across areas such as patient and public involvement, scientific content development, training, and stakeholder engagement. We are looking for someone with a strong grasp of both the scientific and patient landscapes, who can balance attention to detail with big-picture awareness and work confidently in highly collaborative settings with multiple partner organisations. This role offers a unique opportunity to make a tangible contribution to advancing rare disease research and ensuring patients’ voices drive progress across the UK and Europe.

- Write, review, and refine accessible, patient-facing materials that explain complex scientific concepts and research projects clearly.
- Help design and deliver patient engagement strategies for major collaborative projects, ensuring patient perspectives are embedded throughout.
- Support and liaise with REMEDi4ALL Patient Champions and the LifeArc Patient Engagement Group, including coordinating mentorship, facilitating input into project teams, and managing communications.
- Build and maintain strong working relationships with patient advocates, researchers, funders, and partner organisations, ensuring clear communication and effective collaboration.
- Contribute to the planning and delivery of multi-stakeholder meetings, workshops, and webinars that bring together patients, researchers, and other partners to discuss research priorities and approaches.
- Support the creation and delivery of training materials, sessions, and talks for patient groups, researchers, and other stakeholders on topics such as patient and public involvement (PPIE) and rare disease research.
- Participate in project discussions to understand current patient engagement and provide input or signposting to improve engagement and support.
- Represent Beacon and its work at consortium meetings, external conferences, and events – both as a delegate and, where appropriate, as a speaker.
- Support other Beacon-led projects as required, particularly those focused on advancing patient knowledge, engagement, and scientific understanding.
