About Future Frontiers

Future Frontiers exists to ensure young people from disadvantaged backgrounds fulfil their potential, at school and when transitioning to education, employment or training aged 16 and 18. We do this by providing the guidance, networks and opportunities they lack - through face-to-face coaching delivered by business professionals and access to sector role models.

At age 16 and 18 all young people will make decisions that have lifelong consequences. A positive transition into education, employment or training can set them on a path that provides positive life-opportunities – and, often, a route out of poverty. However, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds miss out on the guidance, networks and opportunities readily afforded to their more privileged peers. This drives much of the inequality entrenched in our educational system and hampers social mobility later in life.  Our programme aims to tackle this inequality by providing a tailored package of support as they approach major crossroads in their education.

Manage our existing supporters – working alongside the CEO and Head of Partnerships you will manage, maintain and develop our portfolio of supporters. This will also include engaging with trusts and foundations at networking events, calling campaigns, email campaigns and other creative ways to build an awareness of our work amongst key stakeholders

NHS Charities Together is seeking a talented, seasoned and agile senior manager to take responsibility for the organisation’s grants programmes at this critical and exciting stage of our growth and development. The postholder will deliver the grant funding portfolios and associated programme of work of NHS Charities Together.

This is an incredible exciting and pivotal role within NHS Charities Together.

The Head of Grants, working with the Director of Membership and Impact and Senior Leaders, Grants Committee and Trustees, members, and other stakeholders will also have the responsibility to shape and implement a brand-new grants strategy and management system from 2021 onwards.

Working with colleagues and members, the postholder will further define, develop and deliver a robust grants scheme.  An important aspect of this role is to continue to deliver the current operational plan for grants to member charities, whilst refining and developing a thorough grant process. The day to day accountability includes the development and management of a grants team, relationship management and operations, including the appropriate tracking of grant applications, award decisions, grant payments and grant outcome reporting. The post holder will recommend changes to grant scheme eligibility and criteria as required and will use best practice and evidence-based learning to guide good governance and process in quality assuring the grants function.

The role will require the postholder to utilise their skills, sensitivity and personal confidence to tap into the power that each member of their team brings to their work and in their contribution to our overall mission. While it is essential that the Head of Grants brings efficient and effective systems to increase the productivity of the organisation, is it also critical that the team retain the creative spark that drives NHS Charities Together’s success.
