About us
Carers UK is the national charity for unpaid carers. With more than 5.8 million carers in the UK today, we exist to make life better for those who provide unpaid care to family and friends. Through our information and advice services, peer support network, and campaigning for change, we are here for carers when they need us most.
You’ll be joining our Income Generation and Communications team - an ambitious and supportive department where collaboration, innovation and learning are at the heart of what we do. Together, we’re growing sustainable income to ensure unpaid carers across the UK get the support they need and deserve.
About the role
We’re looking for a proactive and organised Nations Trusts and Foundations Officer to help us grow and strengthen our funding from charitable trusts and foundations - specifically those supporting our work in Carers Scotland, Carers Wales, and Carers Northern Ireland.
This is a key role that directly supports policy influence and service delivery across the nations by securing flexible, budget-relieving grants. You’ll be responsible for researching funders, developing compelling applications, and building strong relationships with a range of national and regional trusts. You’ll also work closely with our teams in each nation to stay connected to their priorities and help translate their vital work into fundable and fund-winning cases for support.
It’s an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to deepen their expertise in trust fundraising while contributing to lasting change for unpaid carers.
About you
You’ll have experience of writing successful trust funding applications and will feel confident asking for grants of five figures or more. You enjoy writing clearly and persuasively, and you’re good at building positive relationships with funders over time.
You’re organised and reliable, able to manage a busy workload and keep on top of deadlines. You pay close attention to detail and take pride in producing accurate work, especially when reporting back to funders.
You’re someone who works well with others. You’ll enjoy talking to our teams in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to understand what they need and how funding can help. You’re curious, committed, and care about making a difference to people’s lives.
It’s helpful if you already understand the charity landscape in the nations or the challenges unpaid carers face, but it’s not essential. Most important is that you bring a positive, thoughtful approach and are ready to learn.
At Carers UK we want our application process to be as accessible as possible. If you need any adjustments to apply please email us to discuss.
The closing date for applications is 12pm, Monday 29 September 2025.
Please send in your application as soon as possible. We look forward to receiving your application.

Executive Director (4 Day Work Week)
For over 30 years, The Women's Budget Group (WBG) has influenced UK policy through rigorous gendered economic analysis. Our work is cited in Parliament, the media, and by campaigners across civil society. We’re proud of our collaborative culture, our commitment to intersectional feminism, and our track record of impact—from budget assessments to grassroots training.
We are now seeking a visionary Executive Director to lead our nationally respected feminist economics organisation into its next chapter. If you're passionate about social justice, thrive at the intersection of research, policy and activism, and want to reshape how the economy works—and for whom, we would love to hear from you.
As Executive Director, you will:
- Lead strategy and organisational development with integrity and care
- Interpret macro-economic concepts to develop, articulate and defend advocacy positions. (Independently and alongside subject matter experts.)
- Represent WBG to senior stakeholders across government, media, and civil society
- Oversee research, communications, training, and impact measurement
- Drive fundraising and ensure financial sustainability
- Foster a high-performing, inclusive team culture
We are seeking a strategic thinker with vision and drive who holds a collaborative, inclusive and empowering leadership style. You will be able to demonstrate high integrity, resilience and adaptability, and perform comfortably in ambiguity and complexity. Seeing beyond immediate outputs towards longer-term systems change.
You will:
- Be committed to women’s rights and equality, understanding how intersecting inequalities affect different women
- Hold recent, demonstrable experience engaging with macroeconomic issues
- Possess either some qualification in Economics, or clear evidence of equivalent professional expertise.
- Hold experience in a senior leadership policy, research, advocacy, or campaigning role
- Thrive in communicating an organisation's mission across all mediums, including public speaking and live media interviews
- Excel in building trusted relationships with the likes of government, civil society, academia and grassroots movements
- Possess robust financial acumen, with experience overseeing budgets, ensuring sustainability, and cultivating and stewarding funding relationships
We welcome candidates from all backgrounds, especially those whose lived experience reflects the structural inequalities we seek to address. Job shares and flexible working arrangements are strongly encouraged.
