Fixed term jobs

We are recruiting two Innovation Managers to join our Innovation Team.

Role 1: Permanent – 0.5 FTE

Role 2: FTC until 26/04/2028

Please state clearly in your supporting statement if you wish to be considered for the FTC, Permanent or both roles.

The role

Ever wanted to join a team where innovation feels accessible, energising and genuinely meaningful? We create safe, structured spaces for bold ideas, help people navigate complexity with confidence, and turn creativity into sustainable practice with equity at its heart. If the idea of working in a major funder and shaping futures that matter excites you, we’d love you to be part of our journey.

In this role, you’ll move fluidly between designing and facilitating creative sessions, collaborating with colleagues to unpack complex challenges, and turning insights into clear, co-created practical next steps. Your day might involve shaping a new tool or provocation, making sense of emerging patterns, meeting partners to explore possibilities, or helping teams navigate ambiguity with confidence. No two days are the same, which is why we work supportively together, creating space to listen, challenge, reflect and offer different perspectives.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for someone to join us with both the skills and approach to thrive in this work. You’ll bring a deeply human, emotionally intelligent way of working, with empathy to understand the people and communities we design with, and to create spaces where they feel safe to explore new ideas. Resilience is essential too; innovation is rarely linear, and you’ll navigate ambiguity, shifting priorities and occasional setbacks with calm, curiosity and a sense of possibility. You’ll bring creativity and openness, continually finding new ways to frame challenges, alongside a reflective mindset that learns in the open, listens deeply, and adapts thoughtfully as ideas evolve. Above all, you’ll believe that meaningful change comes from people working well together and you’ll use your skills to help make that happen.
