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

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
Job Title: Independent Gender Violence Advocate (IGVA)
Location: The Gaia Centre, Lambeth
Salary: £14,850.68 per annum, inlcuding London weighting if applicable
Contract type: Part Time, Permanent
Hours: 18.75 hours per week (working days to be discussed)
We want kind and empathic people to work at Refuge, who believe in equality, diversity, and inclusion, are experts in their area of knowledge, want to make a positive difference and improve the lives of the women and children we support.
The independent gender violence advocate will work closely with victims of gender-based violence from the point of crisis, to provide high quality independent advocacy and support to survivors of gender-based violence at the highest risk and their children.
The role will be part of increasing the ability of partner agencies to recognise, reject and respond appropriately and safely to all forms of gender-based violence (including domestic violence, sexual, financial and emotional abuse, female genital mutilation, forced marriage and honour-based violence). The post holder will empower survivors by providing them with emotional, practical and personal welfare support. The job involves ensuring that women are provided with a safe, supportive and welcoming environment, enabling them to access their rights, make decisions and increase their life options.
The job involves working within a multi-agency framework consisting of the MARAC and local partnership protocols and procedures that prioritise the safety of survivors. The job involves informing survivors of the full range of civil, criminal, and practical options that might increase their safety.
This post is restricted to women due to the nature of the role. The Occupational Requirement under Schedule 9 (part 1) of the Equality Act 2010 applies.
Closing Date: 09:00am 30 April 2026
Interview Date: 11 May 2026
