ABOUT THE HUO FAMILY FOUNDATION AND ITS SCIENCE PROGRAMME
HFF is a grant-giving foundation based in London. Its mission is to support education, communities and the pursuit of knowledge.

The Trustees of the Foundation are supported by a small executive team of six.
The rapid rise and use of digital technology have permeated much of society and transformed the way many humans interact. There has been a broad array of research efforts, but the full implications - both positive and negative - on human physiology, psychology, behaviour, well-being and mental health remain unclear. We believe there is an opportunity to help advance the research and the field of knowledge in this area.
To this end, since mid-2024, HFF has established and will continue to grow a multi-year research portfolio in the UK and the US on the Effects of the Usage of Digital Technology on Brain Development, Social Behaviours and Mental Health in Children and Young People. In 2025, we ran our first annual call and recently announced the outcome of these awards on our website.For our second annual funding round in 2026, we recently released an open call for proposals.
As we continue to build our funding portfolio through annual funding calls, we are now looking for a Senior Funding Manager to join the small HFF Science Team in a permanent role.
SUMMARY PURPOSE - WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING AND ACHIEVING
The Senior Funding Manager is a newly created role in the HFF Science Team.

You will manage and deliver the end-to-end grant application, review and award processes. You will act as a key point of contact for external liaison relating to the schemes.

You may also contribute to the Foundation’s wider portfolio of work, and the delivery of our strategy.

About the role:
165 King’s Cross Road is at the frontline of Camden’s response to rough sleeping. As a 16-bed short stay service, it’s more than accommodation – it’s a critical turning point. As a Resettlement Worker, you will make sure that time spent here leads somewhere meaningful.
You’ll work with people who are navigating multiple disadvantage – including mental and physical health challenges, substance use, and contact with the criminal justice system. Your role is to turn crisis into momentum. Through high-quality assessments, personalised move-on planning and creative problem-solving, you’ll support clients to secure safe, appropriate accommodation and take their next steps towards independence.
Resettlement is not just about finding a room. It’s about widening options, challenging barriers and advocating for people who may struggle to access housing on their own. You’ll build strong relationships with housing providers, the private rented sector and pathway services, navigating local connection rules and housing systems with confidence and persistence.
Your impact will be tangible. Every sustainable move-on frees up a bed for someone in crisis. Every successful tenancy reduces the risk of a return to rough sleeping. This is a role for someone who is organised, proactive and driven by outcomes - someone who believes that short stay should truly mean short stay.
If you’re ready to be part of decisive, coordinated action to end rough sleeping in Camden, we’d love to hear from you.
About you:
- You have experience supporting people facing homelessness and multiple disadvantage, with a strong understanding of the Recovery Model and strengths-based practice.
- You understand housing pathways and/or the private rented sector and can confidently navigate move-on options.
- You are skilled at completing high-quality risk and needs assessments and translating them into clear, SMART resettlement plans.
- You build strong partnerships with statutory and non-statutory services, advocating effectively on behalf of clients.
- You’re organised, confident with recording systems and numeracy tasks (e.g. budgeting, rent accounts, benefit calculations), and able to balance competing priorities in a fast-paced service.
About us:
We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.
In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up.
We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own.
Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable.
We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

As part of the Digital Marketing and Channels team, you’ll collaborate with colleagues across web, social media and strategic communications to ensure our owned channels work seamlessly together. You’ll support teams in making the best use of email marketing, help roll out new features and capabilities within the platform, and play a key role in improving how we communicate with our warm supporter audience.
Please note internally this role is known as Digital Channels Officer – Email.
What we want from you
We’re looking for someone with solid experience in digital marketing, particularly email and SMS marketing, either in-house or at an agency. You’ll be confident planning, writing and building campaigns that engage a specific audience and encourage meaningful action.
You’ll have experience using email marketing platforms (ideally Upland Adestra, though experience with tools such as MailChimp or DotDigital would also be valuable). A good understanding of campaign analytics, testing and optimisation is essential, along with the ability to turn performance data into clear recommendations.
You’ll be an excellent communicator and a brilliant writer, able to create clear, punchy and engaging content — from compelling emails to concise text messages. You’ll also be confident supporting colleagues across the organisation, explaining best practice and helping others feel more confident using digital channels.
In this role, you’ll need to manage priorities effectively and work well under tight deadlines. You’ll enjoy collaborating with others, stay up to date with the latest trends in email marketing and the charity sector, and be motivated by the opportunity to help us build stronger relationships with our supporters.
If you’re passionate about email marketing, enjoy using data and creativity to improve performance, and want to help drive positive change for men, we’d love to hear from you.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
How and where we work
Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.
Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.
We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
