Maudsley Charity funds and promotes ideas, collaborations and teams that give people most affected by mental ill-health the best chance to recover and fulfil their potential.

Two exciting grants programme officer roles have arisen at the Maudsley Charity in our Programmes team. This team is responsible for designing and delivering grant funding programmes, and managing relationships with our grant holders to make an impact in the field of mental health.

Location: Ortus, Denmark Hill, London 50% (and home working) 

Salary: £34,000 per annum plus excellent benefits          

Contract: Permanent   

Maudsley Charity works primarily with South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London, as well as a range of voluntary and community organisations to fund ideas, big and small, that drive service improvement and support people who experience mental illness.

The charity operates primarily within the four boroughs served by South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham, and Southwark), but the work they fund has the potential for wider impact at both national and international levels, through the sharing of the outcomes with the wider mental health community.

Their small but busy team works in a very collaborative and supportive way. They are now seeking two Grants Programme Officers to manage grant application processes and a grant portfolio, with guidance from a Programme Manager.      

The ideal candidate will be self-organised and highly motivated and will have experience of grant-making processes, gained either by working at a funder or as a recipient of grant funding, they will be passionate about improving mental health and motivated by the ability of the Charity to make a difference.
