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 ensure that our funding and commissioning processes run smoothly and deliver maximum impact. We manage significant grants and complex commissioning arrangements that support projects designed to make a lasting difference. To do this well, we need robust systems, clear governance and strong relationships with partners. This role is critical to making that happen. As our Senior Grants & Commissioning Manager, you’ll lead on optimising our grant management system Salesforce, oversee risk and compliance and drive improvements in commissioning and procurement across the organisation. You’ll be the go-to person for contracts, grant agreements, policy guidance and Salesforce, ensuring data integrity and enabling confident decision-making. By keeping everything organised and efficient, you will be helping us achieve our strategic goals and deliver on our mission.
Key Responsibilities
Your role would be to ensure our funding and commissioning processes run efficiently, compliantly and strategically. You’ll lead improvements in systems, governance and risk management, act as the organisation’s Salesforce and grant management expert, and provide strong leadership to the team which will enable confident decisions and maximising impact. A detailed list of your key responsibilities on how you’ll do this is given below:
- Grant management and system optimisation:
- Manage the organisation’s grant management system (Salesforce), ensuring functionality, accuracy and integrity of data.
- Configure and update forms, fields and workflows to support new applications and evolving business needs.
- Develop and deliver custom reports and dashboard for internal teams to enable effective monitoring and decision-making.
- Act as the primary liaison for system enhancements, ensuring continuous improvement, and day-to-day troubleshooting.
- Commissioning and procurement:
- Support the Assistant Director of Finance and Operations in delivering improvements to commissioning and procurement processes across the Programmes, Evaluation, Change and Evidence directorates.
- Ensure commissioning activities align with organisational priorities and compliance requirements.
- When required, provide support and additional resource to the Delivery Operations Manager on the execution of agreements for all teams.
- Risk management and compliance:
- Lead on negotiating terms and conditions with grantees, evaluators and researchers, escalating complex issues where necessary.
- Conduct due diligence for funded projects, ensuring compliance with organisational standards and risk mitigation.
- Maintain and control master versions of all templates, including Grant Agreements and Variations, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
- Governance and policy development:
- Develop, maintain and disseminate non-HR policies and guidance documents related to commissioning and procurement.
- Ensure governance frameworks are robust, up-to-date and embedded across the organisation.
- Training and capacity building:
- Design and deliver training sessions to build staff competency in policies, guidance and system procedures.

THE CHARITY
Suicide is the leading cause of death of men under 35 and three quarters of those who die by suicide are men. James’ Place exists to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis through delivering clinical services. We are a charity currently offering free, life-saving therapy to suicidal men at our centres in Liverpool, London and Newcastle.
James’ Place was set up by Clare Milford Haven and Nick Wentworth-Stanley in 2008 after their twenty-one-year-old son, James, died by suicide ten days after a minor operation. James had no history of mental illness or depression and had sought urgent help for anxiety and suicidal thoughts but didn’t find it.
James' Place was set up to make the experience of finding help as easy as possible. We offer men who are experiencing a suicidal crisis a brief, intensive, therapeutic intervention in a safe environment. Men who walk through the door at James’ Place will be in a space where they feel valued and respected. We provide a calm and peaceful environment both inside the centres and in our outside spaces, accessible to men who visit us as well as their friends and families. We have so far treated over 4,300 men who might otherwise have been unable to access the support they desperately need.
In early 2026 we will be opening our fourth centre in Birmingham, which will support suicidal men living in the West Midlands.
THE OPPORTUNITY
This is a new role in an expanding and dynamic organisation. It responds to our growing ambition to share what we have learned about suicide prevention and delivering services to men who are affected by inequalities.
We understand that for more men to be saved, we need others to take action too. And we need to make this case for change as compelling and impactful as possible to influence commissioners, NHS providers, or policy makers to save more men’s lives.
This role will involve leading the influencing strategy, building evidence-based policy positions, and executing powerful messaging to effectively demonstrate the impact of crisis intervention and the importance of extending this provision to more men across the country.
Overarching priorities
· To influence national and local systems leaders on the importance of rapid, equitable, accessible and tailored treatment and support for acutely suicidal men.
· To establish James’ Place as a leading and credible voice in innovative suicide prevention practice, reducing inequalities in access and in supporting men who other services aren’t reaching.
· To strengthen our evidence base and contribute insight and data to networks and partners who can grow its impact (such as organisations with larger influencing teams, media organisations, policy makers and think tanks).
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Strategy
· Identify key actors and establish, lead and execute an influencing plan for the next 12 – 24 months, in line with the above priorities, emerging insight and changing contexts.

· Explore future partnerships to strengthen evidence base, impact and reach, with academics, think tanks, funders and policy makers
· Ensure James’ Place responds to emerging policy and influencing opportunities (such as men’s health, inequalities work, neighbourhoods, integrated health organisations, strategic commissioning and so on)
Delivery
· Represent James’ Place on external groups at parliamentary events and sector forums as appropriate, ensuring the charity’s position and the voices of men we treat are clearly and respectfully communicated.
· Monitor and respond to legislative and regulatory changes and lead consultation responses.
· Research and produce compelling policy briefings, consultation responses and evidence-based reports
· Champion accurate data collection, evaluation and insight across James’ Place, demonstrating how crucial this is for policy and influencing work externally.
· Fully brief and support the CEO and other senior leaders’ attendance at events, meetings and media work.
· Engage with researchers, evaluators and campaigners on what James’ Place knows and does so that they can represent and champion James’ Place effectively.
· Support senior colleagues to engage with the Board on matters of policy and influence.
· Undertake any other duties as required in pursuit of organisational success.
Charity-wide
· Work closely with services, clinical, fundraising and communication colleagues to deliver our strategy and business plans to meet our charitable objectives.
· Play a role across the whole organisation, offering support and demonstrating leadership across the charity, helping colleagues to grow and develop.
· Recognise the value of review and evaluation and contribute to the on-going development of James’ Place as a respected, effective and sustainable charity.

· Promote and demonstrate the highest level of safeguarding best practice.
