Who we are and why we are needed
The Fore is creating a society that solves its own problems. Each year we provide funding and skills to the best grassroots charities and social enterprises in the UK and we are growing.
Across the UK, talented people within communities are building practical solutions to our most complex challenges – from poverty and mental health to education, exclusion and sustainability. However, the vast majority of these solutions do not achieve their potential to drive wider change across society because of failures in how the funding system works.
The Fore is the UK’s only venture philanthropy fund that has cracked the code in how to identify and distribute funding to turbocharge grassroots innovation and catalyse change. Since 2017, The Fore has been backing the best small charities and social enterprises with astonishing results. So far over 50% of local organisations supported eight years ago have gone on to influence policy, shape national conversations and change lives at scale.
Currently The Fore is funding around 50 of the best charities per year and supporting hundreds of others with skills. However, as an organisation we need to do more. We are looking to scale our impact through two routes. Firstly, by increasing our work backing the best charities and convening and educating donors, and secondly by leading change in the broader funding system.
The role
In the next phase of The Fore’s development, it is a priority for the CEO to be able to concentrate on building the external profile and influence of The Fore’s work. Therefore, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) will play a central role in leadership as the organisation develops. The role translates strategy into delivery, providing oversight across grant making, partnerships, people, and governance, and ensuring the organisation can deliver on its ambitions while managing risk and capacity. We’re a small, agile charity so you’ll work across both high-level direction and day-to-day organisational delivery. In the next eighteen months, the COO will have responsibility for designing and delivering on a number of key strategic priorities, such as:
- ensuring the continued excellence of the grant and skills support we provide to the charities and social enterprises we back
- building out and refining existing activities and processes to ensure exceptional relationship management for our growing number of corporate and private philanthropic partners
- working with the CEO to develop the Partnerships Team to set it up for scaling and to meet the needs of new partnership models
- incorporating the use of AI into our systems and processes to streamline operations wherever possible while safeguarding the personalised experience we pride ourselves on offering all our partners.
Key responsibilities
Grant making and programme delivery
- Provides strategic oversight of the grant-making model, ensuring alignment with The Fore’s overall mission and priorities
- Acts as a senior advisor and escalation point for the Programme Team on complex decisions and delivery challenges
- Ensures that operational delivery reflects agreed strategy, including any shifts in focus, criteria, or approach
Partnerships and income
- Provides strategic oversight of funder relationships and income streams, ensuring alignment with organisational priorities and capacity
- Supports colleagues to shape high-quality proposals, renewals, and reporting
- Ensures the organisation delivers on all funding commitments, maintaining credibility and trust with funders
- Ensures that The Fore’s external messaging and positioning are clear, compelling and aligned with partner priorities
- Acts as a senior escalation point for complex funder relationships or delivery challenges
- Supports the ongoing development of The Fore’s Pro Bono (skilled volunteering) offer, ensuring it delivers meaningful value to charities while remaining a compelling and well-structured proposition for corporate partners
- Leads the commercialisation and rollout of the Fore Index (a tool that allows organisations to put a £ value on their impact), securing partners and funding to support its expansion beyond The Fore’s portfolio
Impact, data and systems
- Holds responsibility for the organisation’s impact framework, ensuring it is credible, proportionate, and aligned with strategic priorities
- Ensures data and insight are used effectively to inform decision-making, reporting, and external positioning
- Ensures that insight and impact are translated into clear, compelling external communications to support The Fore’s positioning and influence
People and internal operations

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering palliative and end of life care and support across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness, they’re likely to die from.
The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life. Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life, through 3 ways:
- Growing and transforming our direct care and support
- Delivering more practical information and support
- Leading in shaping the end-of-life experience
As an Associate Director, Caring Services, you will play a pivotal leadership role in making that belief a reality—shaping, delivering and growing high-quality caring services across London and the Home Counties.
This is a senior, influential role for an experienced leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy and operational delivery, and who is motivated by impact, partnership and purpose.
