Together for Short Lives is looking for a driven and creative Business Development Manager to develop and secure high‑value corporate partnerships that will help transform the lives of children living with serious illness and their families. You’ll lead our business development strategy, build a strong pipeline of opportunities, and develop lasting relationships with prospective and existing supporters.

Charity People are really pleased to be working with Maudsley Charity to help them recruit a Funding Manager, a key role within their Living Well with Psychosis programme.

Maudsley Charity is a grant-making charity rooted in south London, working to advance and accelerate positive change in mental health care. We fund and support clinical, academic and community partners so that everyone who experiences mental illness can access the care and support that's right for them.
We're now recruiting a Funding Manager to join our Living Well with Psychosis programme - a major, long-term investment supporting grassroots community organisations across South London.

This role sits within the Programmes Team and focuses on grant management, relationships, learning and impact. It is not a fundraising role.

About the role
Reporting to the Programme Lead - Living Well with Psychosis, you'll oversee a portfolio of 21 diverse community organisations providing support to people affected by psychosis, with a particular focus on racially minoritised communities.

You'll lead on relationship-based grant management, ensure excellent stewardship of funding, and work closely with an externally commissioned Learning and Support Partner to gather and share learning across the Charity and with external partners. You'll also support grant relationship management for some funding awarded to South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust and King's College London.

This is a pivotal role for someone who enjoys working closely with partners, understands the realities facing small community organisations, and is motivated by equity, lived experience and system-wide change.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing a portfolio of community grants, including due diligence, monitoring and relationships
• Managing the contract and relationship with the Learning and Support Partner
• Gathering and sharing learning and insight from funded organisations
• Supporting the Charity's approach to proportionate monitoring and impact
• Strengthening links between community organisations, clinical teams, academics and commissioners
• Working closely with Finance, Communications and Fundraising colleagues where programme insight supports wider organisational work

We're looking for someone who:

• Has strong grant, contract or partnership management experience
• Understands financial and governance challenges facing small VCSE organisations
• Is confident working collaboratively across teams and sectors
• Is motivated by improving outcomes for people affected by severe and enduring mental illness
• Brings a thoughtful, organised and relational approach to their work

Lived experience of mental illness, or a strong personal connection to this work, is welcomed and valued.

Why work at Maudsley Charity?

• Hybrid working (typically 2-3 days in the office)
• 25 days annual leave plus Christmas closure days
• Employer pension contribution up to 6%
• Enhanced family leave and wellbeing benefits
• A friendly, inclusive, values-led culture
• Offices based at the Ortus building, near Denmark Hill station
