Jobs

About you

You’ll be a confident trust fundraiser with a proven track record of securing significant grants and managing long-term funder relationships. You're comfortable leading on strategy, identifying new opportunities, and collaborating across teams to produce strong, evidence-led proposals. Excellent writing, budgeting, and project management skills are essential, as is a commitment to Carers UK's mission and values.

About the role

With demand for our services growing, we are seeking a Trusts and Foundations Manager to help power our mission through strategic, long-term funding partnerships. This is a pivotal role in our high-performing Fundraising Team, focused on securing and growing income from charitable trusts, foundations, statutory sources and the National Lottery. You’ll lead on developing high-value, often multi-year proposals, managing a healthy pipeline, and building strong relationships with funders to deliver impactful, sustained funding for our vital work.

This role offers you the opportunity to take real ownership of an essential income stream—crafting compelling bids, shaping funder strategy, and driving forward the development of complex funding applications. You’ll be supported to grow in your role and have the chance to make a real difference in the lives of unpaid carers across the UK.

About us

Carers UK is the leading national charity supporting, advocating for and connecting unpaid carers across the UK. We exist to make life better for unpaid carers, however caring affects them. Despite being a relatively small charity, we regularly punch above our weight and we have achieved meaningful change and we have influenced almost every piece of legislation concerning carers over the past 60 years; from the first ever 1967 legal rights for carers, to the 2024 Carers Leave Act. We have carers experience at the heart of everything that we do. Our support, advice, information and campaigning work are now needed more than ever, as unpaid carers are providing more and more care, adversely impacting on their own health and wellbeing.

This is an exciting time to join Carers UK as we celebrate our 60th anniversary, an important milestone to look back on our achievements and to highlight what more needs to be done to ensure
that carers are treated equally in all aspects of their lives and that no one has to care alone. Our mission is to make life better for carers. Our Vision: We want a society that recognises, values and supports carers and to halve the time it takes for carers to recognise themselves as carers. The last published census in 2021 showed there to be 5.8 million unpaid carers in the UK. However, recent research carried out by Carers UK estimates that the true number of unpaid carers in the UK is as high as 10.6 million, with 12,000 people becoming carers every day.

Diversity and inclusion

Carers UK is committed to becoming a diverse and truly inclusive organisation. We strive to create a workplace where our colleagues and volunteers can truly be themselves and feel like they belong and constantly seek to ensure all voices are heard.

To embrace this culture of diversity, our employee and volunteer recruitment should reflect our stakeholders and the society that we serve and support, regardless of age, race, gender, sexual orientation, physical abilities, disabilities or religious practices. We value individual diversity and are actively building diverse teams here at Carers UK and value our colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds.

As a membership charity for carers, we particularly seek employees and volunteers with a real understanding of the issues faced by carers. Reasonable adjustments can be made to the process and role dependent on the needs of the applicant.

Please send in your application as soon as possible. We look forward to receiving your application. Carers UK anonymises all applications prior to shortlisting.

GOOD CAUSE:
Working for Movember, you’ll help raise millions for men’s health (not for a CEO’s bonus). And all those dollars do a whole lotta good. We’ve funded cancer research. Created lifesaving medicines. And helped make cancer treatments less “one-size-fits-all”, and more specific to each patient’s needs.

We’re even calling for governments worldwide to get it together on men’s health. By meeting directly with policymakers so they change the systems that change men’s health.

GOOD VIBES:
The vibes aren’t just for Fridays – even though we start weekends early nine months of the year. Here, it always feels like something big’s about to happen. Be it an office-wide surprise birthday party (with cake!) or an impromptu all-staff boogie.

Come the hairy season, the energy gets silly. We’re talking celebrity visits. Live stunts on-site for TV and radio. And when we hit a fundraising milestone, the office gong might even go off. And that means one thing: it’s conga time.

GOOD CREW:
Let’s just get this out of the way: big egos need not apply. We’re all about straight-up solid human beings out to do meaningful work. People who’ll help you reach career-best moments. And give you the freedom to get there the best way you see fit.

Hybrid remote working is the norm. And in the office, you can sit where you please. Who knows? On any given day you could even end up desk buddies with the man who started this all.

We offer:

• Hybrid/Flexible working – we offer our team a split of home and office working
• 13 weeks paid Parental Leave and 6 weeks annual leave
• Health Cash Plan – to support the costs of everyday healthcare needs (dental, optical, wellbeing)
• An Employee Assistance Programme offering face to face counselling, plus legal and financial support
• A fun stimulating and collaborating culture, with company events
• Service awards after 3, 5 and 10 years
• Committees to join – Culture team, Diversity Equity & Inclusion, Movember book group
• Bike to work scheme
• Half day Fridays for 9 months of the year

Boy, do we know the feeling of being judged. (Over how we look, and other things that shouldn’t matter.) Being different is how we started. And it’s also helped us raise $1 billion for men’s health. So, we know the power of diverse experiences, skills and perspectives.

Movember is committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive community and workplace - a place where we can all be ourselves, and each have the equal opportunity to succeed and be recognised for our unique contribution. We value the experiences, skills and perspectives of all individuals and actively encourage applications from people with diverse backgrounds. We make recruitment decisions based on applicants’ skills, experience and knowledge, ensuring all applicants are treated fairly.

Do you want to DO GOOD?
If so, we’d love to hear from you.

Together we make a difference, develop and learn, and support each other. Every day with us is different, but our mission remains the same: To champion the rights, needs and ambitions of the people we support - they are at the heart of everything we do. We stand by them and we work together for change.

We believe that everyone deserves a chance to learn and space to thrive and that the right education can change lives. You’ll help break down barriers to education for young people, helping them learn and grow at their own pace.

Epic at a Glance:

At Epic, we strive to build a world where children and youth - no matter their race, gender, sexual orientation or place of birth - have access to a future full of promise and opportunity. We are a global foundation backing groundbreaking non-profits around the world - the changemakers and innovators that are transforming the lives of children and youth and protecting our planet for generations to come. 

Groundbreaking charities often struggle to secure smart money to drive impact. Donors want to give more, but are held back because they lack trust, time, and knowledge. Epic bridges the gap between the social entrepreneurs forging solutions to today’s pressing challenges, and the individuals and businesses who want to pool their resources to drive positive change. We curate and monitor highly-vetted portfolios of organisations that we back in order to foster lasting change. We operate strictly on a pro bono basis: 100% of donations received go directly to the organizations in our portfolio. 

Now in our 10th year, we have mobilised over $91 million and supported 57 organizations in 11 countries across 4 continents, since 2015. In the UK, we raise between US$2-2.5 million annually, and there is potential and aspiration to grow this to US$3 million by the end of 2027.
