Teens Unite is leading the way in youth cancer support.
We’re an energetic, ambitious and dynamic charity improving the lives of 13-24-year-olds living with, and beyond, cancer. We’re not here to cure cancer. We’re here to empower young people to rebuild their lives and thrive beyond a diagnosis by taking part in our specialist activities, programmes and residential stays.
This is an incredibly exciting time to join our team. Demand for our support is growing rapidly, with a 48% increase in young people registering over the last 12 months.
As we grow, we’re embarking on our most ambitious chapter yet: building the first purpose-built retreat in England for young people overcoming cancer. This pioneering, first-of-its-kind development will transform the support available to young people for generations to come.
We’re looking for an experienced, ambitious and creative Trusts & Grants Manager to play a vital role in making this vision a reality. Combining exceptional relationship-building skills with the ability to develop standout, compelling pitches and applications, you will secure vital funding for both this transformational project and our existing services, to ensure we reach our ambition of providing 30,000 opportunities for teenagers and young adults over the next decade.
Who you are:
You thrive on building relationships and are a natural storyteller with a strong strategic instinct - someone who understands what matters to a funder and can build genuine connections between their priorities and the work, impact and ambitions of Teens Unite.
You understand that a successful funding application is never simply about changing a few words in an existing proposal. You have a talent for developing persuasive, engaging and individually tailored applications and reports that stand out and inspire funders to invest in our work.
You’ll research every opportunity, take the time to understand each funder’s priorities and motivations, and build meaningful relationships that keep Teens Unite front of mind when funding opportunities arise. You’ll adapt the tone, emphasis and case for support accordingly - while always retaining Teens Unite’s own language, personality and brand.
You’ll have a strong track record of securing funding and building a successful pipeline and recognise that the relationship with a funder doesn’t end when the funds are received. You’ll take pride in nurturing relationships, demonstrating the impact of their support and building long-standing partnerships with the potential to grow over time.
You’ll have experience of exceeding fundraising targets and taking ownership of the complete funding journey –from identifying opportunities and developing compelling applications, through to managing grants, demonstrating impact and securing future or repeat funding where appropriate.
You’ll take real ownership of delivering tangible results, bringing fresh ideas, ambition and a proactive approach to identifying and pursuing new opportunities.
The role:
As a self-funded charity, grant income is a vital and growing area of fundraising at Teens Unite, supporting both our current service delivery of activities, programmes and residential breaks, and our ambitious plans for the future.
Teens Unite currently raises £200,000 per annum from grants and trusts, and we are looking to grow this year on year through developing and delivering an ambitious grants fundraising strategy, which will support Teens Unite’s current service delivery and work towards raising the remaining 50% needed of our £6.5million capital appeal to build England’s first purpose-built retreat for young people overcoming cancer.
This isn’t about simply stepping into a bid writing role, it’s about thinking creatively to retain existing funding relationships and seeking new opportunities with the ability to balance ambition with integrity, ensuring funding opportunities genuinely align with organisational priorities and values.
We need you to:
- Take ownership of Teens Unite’s trusts, foundations and grant income programme, working towards agreed annual income targets across programme, core and capital funding.
- Develop and deliver an ambitious trust and grants fundraising strategy to grow income year on year, across programme, core and capital funding
- Research prospective trusts, foundations and grant-making organisations and identify opportunities that align with Teens Unite’s work and ambitions.
- Write compelling funding applications, proposals and cases for support
- Develop project budgets and funding packages in collaboration with colleagues
- Build, nurture and maintain long-term relationships with funders
- Manage grant agreements, reporting requirements and payment schedules
- Produce engaging, evidence-led impact reports that clearly demonstrate how funding has been used and the difference it has made
- Monitor income performance against agreed targets and maintain accurate fundraising records and pipeline reports

- Annual performance-related bonus opportunity
- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
- 33 days annual leave pro rata (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
- Christmas office closure

- Responsibility and ownership of an income stream that is fundamental to Teens Unite’s growth and future
- Support in your personal and professional development, including access to training
- The chance to make a real-life difference in the lives of young people
Essential experience and qualifications:

Who are Guts UK Charity?
Guts UK Charity is committed to a world where digestive conditions are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need.

At the heart of everything we do is our purpose: to ensure patients benefit from the highest possible standards of care in anaesthesia, pain medicine and perioperative care. Our members support patients through some of the most significant and vulnerable moments of their lives. It’s our privilege, as their professional body, to help them grow and develop throughout every stage of their careers and provide the best possible care.
Our 2022–2027 Strategy has provided a clear sense of direction, and we’ve made significant progress in strengthening our voice, services and organisational foundations.

In July 2026, following almost two and a half years of work and nearly two decades as a Faculty, we became the College of Intensive Care Medicine: an independent charity with our own Board of Trustees, governance and voice. Reaching this point has been a significant achievement. Now comes the next chapter: building an organisation that is genuinely independent, financially sustainable and equipped to lead the specialty for the future.
This role sits at the heart of that transformation.
Organisationally, we are creating a College from what was previously a faculty function – establishing our own culture, values, policies, systems and operating model while managing a careful and constructive separation from the Royal College of Anaesthetists (RCoA), our long-standing host and continuing close partner.
Financially, we begin with an established income base, derived predominantly from subscriptions and examinations. The Executive Director will lead the development of a more diverse and resilient financial model, strengthening income and ensuring long-term sustainability without compromising our charitable purpose, governance or commitment to members.
For our people, we need to build our own workforce and operating model while supporting colleagues through a genuine change in employer and organisational identity. This will require clarity, empathy and strong leadership – alongside an unwavering focus on maintaining the services that almost 5,000 members rely on.
THE ROLE
We are therefore looking for an Executive Director who has successfully led organisations through significant transformation; who understands how to build financial sustainability and diversify income; and who can bring people with them through complex and meaningful change.
You will bring the strategic and financial credibility to earn the confidence of our Trustees and partners at the RCoA, alongside the emotional intelligence and collaborative leadership needed to unite staff, members and the wider clinical community behind the College’s future.
This is a rare opportunity to shape a new professional College at the moment of its creation: establishing its identity, culture and operating model while building the foundations for long-term independence and impact.

UKHarvest is an award-winning food rescue and education charity that tackles two major challenges at the same time: food waste and food insecurity. Founded in 2016, UKHarvest rescues surplus nutritious food from growers, farmers and suppliers that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to support people and communities across the South of England and London. But it doesn't stop there. UKHarvest also teaches people how to make the most of that food through cooking, nutrition and food-waste prevention programmes, helping families develop the skills and confidence to eat well for less and waste less at home.
UKHarvest's commitment to combining food, education and community is perhaps best demonstrated through the Nourish Hub in Shepherd's Bush, West London. Opened in 2022, the Hub was established as a welcoming community space where people can access nutritious meals, practical support, educational opportunities and social connection under one roof. The Nourish Hub has received local and national recognition for its social and environmental impact.
Building on this successful model, UKHarvest has recently opened the Nourish Hub Café in Bognor Regis. The café reflects the same ethos that has shaped the organisation since its founding: using good food as a catalyst for positive change and building up community that surrounds it through accessible food education and affordable, healthy food.
