Monitoring jobs
The National Church Institutions (NCIs) operate a wide range of grant-making activities to support the work and mission of the Church of England, distributing in excess of £250 million a year to dioceses, cathedrals, parishes and other organisations across different thematic areas administered by separate grant making teams.
The NCIs have recently implemented a Grant Policy Framework and a new Grant Management System (Vera Solutions Amp Impact) to support compliant, consistent and efficient grant-making across the grants portfolio, whilst ensuring proportionality across the breadth of grant types and grantees. Considerable work has been undertaken to align NCI grant making processes around best practice standards and 'out of the box' system processes, and to adopt a consistent policy for grant making including a standard grant agreement. This provides a strong foundation for continuous improvement and maturing of grant making activity, with the ability to take advantage of greater system functionality and new capabilities. However, it will be important to foster alignment between grant teams and processes and to preserve the integrity of the system design in a way which is consistent with the policy framework.
The Grants Policy & Product Owner will be responsible for helping to embed new ways of working across the grant teams, ensuring consistent adoption of the system and processes, and monitoring compliance with the Grant Policy Framework. They will act as a subject matter expert to support NCI Grant Teams to ensure best practice operation of new grant processes, take advantage of new system functionality as it becomes available and to maintain, interpret and update the Grants Policy Framework as needed in accordance with legal and regulatory expectations.
This is a fixed term contract for 18 months.
Closing date - 19th July 2026
The Church of England’s vocation is and always has been to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ afresh in each generation to the people of England.

Working across the organisation and with external partners and communities, you’ll design and embed practical approaches to impact measurement and evaluation. You’ll help teams capture meaningful evidence, define outcomes and build a consistent understanding of impact that supports learning, accountability and continuous improvement.
You’ll turn data, feedback and insights into clear, engaging stories that bring our work to life for a range of audiences. From reports and case studies to multimedia content and impact updates, you’ll create accessible outputs that support decision-making, strengthen understanding and demonstrate the value of our work.
Building strong relationships will be central to your success. You’ll work closely with colleagues, partners and Black communities to ensure impact is captured authentically, ethically and respectfully. By combining evidence, storytelling and evaluation, you’ll help make our Black Health Equity work more visible, influential and effective across the organisation and beyond.
What we want from you
You may already work in impact, evaluation, insight, learning or research and be looking for an opportunity to use your skills to influence meaningful change. We’re looking for someone with experience of developing evaluation approaches, outcomes frameworks or theories of change, ideally within a health, charity or social impact setting.
You’ll be comfortable working with both qualitative and quantitative data, turning evidence, feedback and insight into clear conclusions that support learning, decision-making and improvement. You’ll also be a strong communicator, able to translate complex information into engaging reports, impact stories and accessible content for a range of audiences.

You’ll have experience of working respectfully and effectively with Black communities and be committed to ensuring lived experience is at the heart of how impact is understood, measured and communicated.
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.

This is a community-facing role, working from Y Sort It’s offices and directly in kinship carers’ homes and community spaces. You will work alongside Y Sort It’s Intandem mentors to ensure that both carers and the children they care for receive coordinated, complementary support.
Accurate recording of your work is essential to enable Kinship and Inspiring Scotland to understand what is working, demonstrate impact and learn from this pioneering pilot.

- Represent Kinship professionally in all interactions with Y Sort It, Inspiring Scotland and other local partners.

Collaboration and wider partnership working
- Build constructive relationships with West Dunbartonshire Council and other statutory and voluntary sector partners to support awareness of the programme and effective referral pathways.
- Work closely with colleagues across Kinship, including Peer Support, Training and Communications, to ensure kinship carers in West Dunbartonshire can access the full range of Kinship’s support.
- Contribute to cross-team learning, sharing emerging insights about kinship carers’ experiences and the local landscape in Scotland to inform Kinship’s broader organisational learning.
- Represent Kinship at local meetings, networks or events to strengthen collaboration and raise awareness of kinship care in Scotland.
Safeguarding and risk management
Kinship has a robust safeguarding structure. You will be supported by a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and Designated Deputy Safeguarding Leads (DDSL). In line with this policy, and mindful of the Scottish legislative and practice context, you will:

- Maintain accurate, timely records of all activity, assessments, support plans, contacts and outcomes on Kinship’s CRM system (Salesforce) in line with organisational policy and programme protocols.
- Complete kinship carer needs assessments, SMART goal setting, reviews and outcome recording in accordance with the Kinship Navigator model.

The Damilola Taylor Trust (DTT) is a charitable company limited by guarantee incorporated in May 2001 in memory of Damilola Taylor and registered as a charity in July 2001.Our founding purpose is to provide inner-city youths with opportunities to play, learn and live their lives free of fear and violence, and with optimism for a future where opportunities abound. Our Mission is to develop the hope, optimism and self-esteem of young people so that they can: Lead healthy lives; Stay in School; Grow up to become independent productive adults; Have lofty aspirations and work to attain their innate potential.
Although we have recovered from the Covid 19 pandemic, the nation now faces the worst cost of living crisis since the 1950s, thanks to the Russian Ukraine war, and now the US Israel Iran one which have disrupted the global energy market. There is no denying that, in the UK, young people (YP) are being disproportionally affected. We are deeply concerned about the impact this crisis is having on the young people that we work with across the board.
The UK youth unemployment rate for 16-24-year-olds sits at a concerning 16.2%, an 11-year high. There are over 1 million young people not in education, employment or training (NEET). We know that high numbers of vacancies do not translate into opportunities for all young people, especially those from BAME background who already face discrimination in the labour market.
We are responding to this emerging issue, by working harder and smarter to support young people that we work with for whom the transition from formal education into employment is not automatic. We work to help this group have access to economic opportunities in these challenging times. We believe that our services bridge this gap and provide opportunities for young people to develop wider social, personal and self -management skills required for productive participation and integration into society. For additional information about the Trust and its programmes, please go to our website.

· Manage enquiries to the Trust and respond to routine enquiries, ensuring that actions are followed up
· Proactively manage our website day-to-day and post to our social media, consulting where necessary. Produce leaflets, publicity and newsletters
· Support our organisation development plans by helping us research and implement any new policies, processes and best practice procedures required, and maintaining the database of evidence
· Suggest administrative improvements to support the smooth running of the charity and, when agreed, implement them
