Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we take action and raise awareness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.
Our UK team is looking for an enthusiastic and committed individual to join us as a Programme Funding Officer (PFO). This is an exciting and varied role working across the funding cycle from the early stage of new opportunities through to grant management. You will be regularly in touch with our country teams, supporting them to engage with UK institutional donors in-country and advising them on compliance for both grants and commercial contracts. You will also get a chance to support partnership development, as well as advocacy and policy influencing. If this sounds like the next role for you, we’d love to welcome you to our friendly and dedicated team.
Background Information and Purpose of Post
The Institutional Relations team is responsible for donor engagement and influencing, institutional funding, and partnerships in the UK. It comprises the Head of Institutional Relations, three Programme Funding Officers and an Institutional Funding Volunteer.
You will work as part of a dynamic team to support delivery and implementation of an ambitious institutional relations strategy. With a particular focus on the FCDO and START Network alongside growing Australian and Irish portfolios, the Institutional Relations team builds partnerships and maximises income and influence to achieve HI’s strategic aims. Given the changing external funding environment and evolving context in the UK, we are looking for an individual who is willing to be flexible and adapt to the context in order to meet the organisation’s needs and have the biggest impact for people with disabilities.
The main purpose of this post is to:
· Improve our track record for UK and other funding by increasing internal understanding of donors and funding mechanisms in your portfolio, supporting high quality submissions, grant management and donor compliance
· Strengthen relationships with, and generate and manage funding from, UK and other institutional donors and partners, particularly Irish and Australian donors
Main Duties and Responsibilities
Promoting our work and building relationships with institutional donors
Supporting the work of the Head of Institutional Relations, you will have sound knowledge of the donors and funding mechanisms in your portfolio and contribute proactively to influencing their funding strategies and priorities. Duties include:
· Maintain a good understanding of HI’s programmes, strategy and approach and communicate this externally.
· Identify and build relationships with a portfolio of large public and private institutional donors and their key suppliers (e.g. INGOs and for-profit development companies), mobilising colleagues from UK and across the global organisation as required.
· Work with country programmes to develop country-level action plans to engage with local representatives of UK donors and partners, in order to strengthen in-country relationships, influence donors’ country-level plans and access in-country funding opportunities. This will also involve supporting the development of multi-year operational plans and advise on the funding possibilities offered by UK institutional donors.
· Anticipate future trends and the expectations of the donors and funding mechanisms in your portfolio, influence their policies and strategies, and negotiate and consult with them on institutional funding matters, in liaison with the appropriate colleagues from the UK team and federal network.
· In coordination with the Head of Institutional Relations and the Chief Executive, monitor and where needed, contribute to collective work and advocacy initiatives in collaboration with partners and INGO networks (such as the Start Network and targeted Bond groups) with the aim of raising HI’s profile and influencing UK donors in line with our influencing priorities.
Generate and manage institutional funding from UK donors
You will follow and champion HI’s internal institutional funding procedures to identify and analyse funding opportunities from UK sources, contribute to project submissions, and carry out grant management duties. You will:
· Monitor, identify, analyse and communicate all relevant funding opportunities from donors in your portfolio (including development and humanitarian grant opportunities and commercial contracts). This will involve facilitating internal go/no go decision-making for new opportunities and advising and supporting programme colleagues on positioning and consortium-building when relevant.
· Lead the review and analysis of the requirements in new funding agreements and contracts, advise internal stakeholders on compliance and ensure appropriate contract negotiation and due diligence processes are followed.
· Implement internal procedures for contract/grant management, including information management, and support the submission of reporting and payment requests according to donor requirements.
Improve our track record for UK institutional funding
You will be responsible for increasing internal understanding of donors and funding mechanisms in your portfolio, particularly FCDO, Start Network, Australian DFAT and Irish Aid, supporting high quality strategic submissions and donor compliance. You will:
· Create internal communications, train and brief finance, programme and technical staff (including country programmes) on the donors in your portfolio, ensuring they have the tools and knowledge to comply with donor rules, understand donor priorities and focus areas, and maximise the potential for funding.
· Support proposal development, advising on donor requirements, expectations and preferences.
· Build strong relationships and internal links with technical and programme teams and contribute to internal working groups on issues related to institutional funding.
Other duties
· Maintain a positive and collaborative working relationship with HI UK colleagues and the Federal Institutional Funding, and Operations teams.
· Actively contribute to the HI UK operational plan and team work plans, and internal staff meetings.
· Ensure high quality, accurate internal reporting and information management for your portfolio.
· Keep abreast of developments within the sector by liaising with counterparts in other NGOs, and relevant networks.

About Us
The British Science Association (BSA) was founded in 1831 and is a registered charity.
We are creating a future where science is more relevant, representative, and connected to society.
We have ambitious goals to put people at the heart of science.
About the role
We are seeking to appoint someone on a fixed term contract to the end of December 2027, to join our Grants Team in delivering The Ideas Fund, an exciting programme which looks to connect communities with researchers in order to develop and try out ideas related to mental wellbeing. The Fund is delivered in four areas of the UK – Oldham, Hull, the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, and North West Northern Ireland, although this role can be remote, based anywhere in the UK.
With support from the Head of Grants, we expect that you will have lead responsibility for grant management across these areas, building strong relationships with our Development Co-ordinators and contributing to the successful delivery of the overall programme.
You will oversee the support for grant holders to learn from what is working and feed this learning into our overall approach with the Fund, as well as sharing insights externally. It’s an exciting time for the Fund as we work to build partnerships with others who are interested in community-led approaches to working with research and researchers. You can read more about our emerging findings around ‘Reimagining Research’ at the next stage when you make your final application.
You will work with our existing Grants & Learning Manager to ensure that our due diligence and grant reporting requirements are met, responding flexibly and creatively to issues that arise. Importantly, you will consistently focus on how our learning can influence long term change in funding and research practice.
As noted in the job description, we also expect this role to include supporting the Head of Grants with developing the BSA’s strategy around future grants programmes. This may include working across funding programmes other than The Ideas Fund as they are developed and funding secured.
Key responsibilities
- Work with the Head of Grants and our existing Grants and Learning Manager to continue to deliver an innovative programme that constantly evolves based on what we learn.
- Ensure excellent grant-making using relational, flexible and participatory approaches with high levels of customer satisfaction.
- Champion innovation in supporting community/researcher collaboration, community-led research, systems change and grant making across relevant sectors including:
- Developing and delivering strategies for sharing learning, practice and ideas with a broad range of stakeholders through a range of approaches
- Representing the British Science Association at external events to share innovation and learning
- Developing and delivering events and/or content to showcase practice and share learning with a broad range of stakeholders using a range of approaches
- Support the implementation of our learning and evaluation strategies and processes, reviewing and refining as needed. Manage relationships and/or contracts with learning partners where appropriate
- Oversee the smooth delivery of the programme, including budget management, payment processing, due diligence activity etc.
- Support local Development Co-ordinators to:
- Work with grant holders, collaborating researchers and project partners to overcome challenges they might face in delivering their projects
- Collate and share local learning as part of wider learning strategies
- Develop and manage a small pipeline of discretionary grants to add value to the portfolio and/or make systemic impact at local or national level, if necessary. Develop bespoke application and grant management and learning processes as appropriate
- Engage a network of key existing stakeholders, and build further external relationships, to ensure successful delivery of the programme
- Support the Head of Grants with developing the BSA’s strategy around future grants programmes. In addition, the post-holder will be expected to:
- Support colleagues across the organisation, especially at busy times or on specific areas of expertise
- Other duties as reasonably required by the line manager
About you
The Grants & Learning Manager role would suit someone who has strong stakeholder management skills and experience in curating and sharing learning. Good attention to detail, experience of grant-making, and an understanding of the benefits and risks involved in delivering innovative grant-making approaches would all be beneficial.
The role would suit someone who is comfortable using their judgement and working with an evolving programme, and who can confidently communicate with a variety of stakeholders. We are particularly interested to hear from people who have experience in supporting and influencing wider systems change.
Your experience in terms of the person specification could come from either a personal or professional background. You may not have experience of everything listed in the person specification, but will be open to challenging yourself and developing in the role.

The Youth Endowment Fund
Programme Delivery Manager - Change Team
Reports to: Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager
Salary: £42,000
Location: Central London or Hybrid
Contract: 2-year fixed term – potential to extend
Closing date: 9 am, Tuesday 14th July
Interview dates: 28th and 29th July
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen sustained growth. We have also seen large increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.
The Youth Endowment Fund (YEF) is a charity with a £200m endowment and a mission that matters. We exist to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by funding great initiatives, finding what works and working for change - scaling and spreading the practices that make a difference.
One of the most important things we do is turn evidence into action through our change programmes, working directly with schools, local leaders and services to change practice and prevent violence. To deliver these programmes well, we need clear plans, smooth commissioning and procurement processes, accurate data and strong coordination across teams and partners.
The Programme Delivery Manager role is critical to making that happen, and it has two distinct elements:
Programme management for two Change programmes: You’ll be the hands-on programme lead for two of our main change programmes. You’ll work closely with the Change delivery team to put clear, aligned plans in place and then brilliantly manage those plans day to day, making sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and by when.
Commissioning and procurement support for the whole Change team: You’ll also be the go-to source of guidance and advice for Change colleagues who are procuring or commissioning other activity. You’ll help the team navigate processes correctly, ensuring commissioning is captured and maintained accurately in Salesforce and keep our ways of working consistent across the team. By keeping us organised and on track, you’ll help us maximise the impact of every pound we invest.
Key responsibilities
Your role has these two distinct but complementary elements. The first is hands-on programme management for two of our main Change programmes. The second is acting as a source of guidance, advice and practical support on commissioning and procurement for the wider Change team. Together, these responsibilities are essential to keeping our programmes on track and our commissioning processes running smoothly and consistently. A detailed list of your key responsibilities is given below:
1: Hands-on programme management for two Change programmes
-
Lead programme planning and coordination:
-
Work with the delivery team to make sure we have clear, aligned programme plans in place, with timelines, milestones and owners for every workstream.
-
Brilliantly manage those plans day to day, making sure everyone knows what’s expected of them and by when, and that the team stays on track across multiple demanding workstreams.
-
Track dependencies and progress, flag risks to delivery early and coordinate solutions before issues become blockers.
2: Guidance, advice and practical support on commissioning and procurement for the Change team
-
Manage contracts and commissioning for delivery partners
-
Draft, prepare and execute agreements and subsequent variations with delivery partners and commissioned providers, using Adobe e-Sign where required.
-
Accurately input and maintain all programme data in Salesforce, including deliverables, financial commitments, payment schedules and supporting documents.
-
Ensure timely reporting and compliance with contractual requirements.
-
Resolve payment queries and discrepancies quickly, chasing outstanding invoices and reports where needed, and conduct regular data accuracy spot checks in Salesforce.
-
Support process improvements and ways of working
-
Work with the Senior Grants and Commissioning Manager to keep the team’s commissioning and procurement processes consistent with YEF-wide ways of working.
-
Develop and maintain simple, effective tools for planning, tracking and reporting, building on the systems we already use (including Salesforce).
-
Identify and suggest process enhancements to drive efficiency and consistency across our programme and commissioning operations.
-
Enable effective communication and reporting
-
Serve as the central point of contact for programme delivery, commissioning and procurement requests across the team, ensuring streamlined processes and avoiding duplication.
-
Provide timely responses and clear communication to internal teams and external partners to keep everything moving.
-
Keep senior leadership informed with forward plans, dashboards and progress updates to support better strategic decisions.
About you
You’re this sort of person:
-
You’re highly organised and detail-oriented: You can manage multiple workstreams, plans and deadlines without losing sight of accuracy. You take pride in keeping programmes, systems and processes running smoothly.
-
You’re confident with systems and data: You’ve worked with CRM, project management or grant management platforms (ideally Salesforce) and understand the importance of data integrity. You’re comfortable creating, updating and checking records to ensure everything is correct.
-
You like getting things done: You’ve got a track record of making things happen and ensuring tasks are completed on time. You’re reliable and take ownership of your responsibilities.
-
You’re proactive and solution-focused: When something doesn’t match up, like a milestone, payment request or contract detail, you don’t just flag it, you work to resolve it quickly and effectively.
-
You’re brilliant at improving and organising things: You enjoy finding ways to make processes better and more efficient. You’re good at understanding how things work and making them work even better.
-
You’re a great communicator: You build strong relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders providing clear guidance and timely responses. People trust you to keep things moving.
-
You thrive in a support role: You like being the person who makes things happen behind the scenes. You’re motivated by helping teams work efficiently and keeping complex programmes on track.
-
You learn fast and adapt easily: You’re comfortable picking up new systems, processes and ways of working. You’re curious and always looking for ways to improve how things are done.
-
You care about impact and inclusion: You want your work to make a difference in the community and are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in everything you do.
While it’s not a criteria, we’re especially interested to hear from applicants who have lived experience of youth violence.
It’s also important to us that the people we hire do not discriminate. We believe in being inclusive and giving everyone an equal chance to succeed. Applications are welcome from all regardless of age, sex, gender identity, disability, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, race, sexual orientation, transgender status or social economic background.
