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.
• Act as the organisational expert on Salesforce and grant management processes, providing ongoing support and advice.

What could my day look like?

The Education Worker role is a frontline, fast-paced and rewarding role where no two weeks will look the same. A typical day will have different activities, possibly spread between the IntoUniversity centre, partner schools and the offices of a corporate partner.

In the morning, you might be setting off with resources to run a workshop for sixth-form students in their secondary school. In the afternoon you may be setting up the classroom ahead of running Primary Academic Support for young people in your IntoUniversity centre. On other days, you may be travelling to a corporate partner to run a business simulation workshop for 15 year-olds or leading a group of final year primary school students on a campus visit for their graduation.

As an Education Worker, you’ll always be delivering the programme as part of your centre team, which means that any delivery is always a team effort.
