Medical Research Foundation

Senior Fundraising Officer, full-time, London with some remote working

£30,000-£34,000 plus generous benefits 

Many of the diseases and conditions that affect human health have been cured or overcome as a result of medical research. But there will always be more to do. Although significant resources are being spent around the world developing exciting new treatments and therapies, there are areas of medical need that receive little or no support – and people’s lives that see no improvement. That’s where we step in.

The Medical Research Foundation is an independent charitable foundation. Formed by the Medical Research Council (MRC), we fund and support the most promising health research wherever we discover great opportunities that are not being pursued. We use our donations responsibly and ensure we make the greatest impact where it is most needed.

We are looking for a Senior Fundraising Officer to join our rapidly expanding team in our central London offices.

Reporting to the Head of Development, you will play a crucial role in building relationships and raising income through various fundraising streams including individuals, corporates and challenge events.

Who you are 

We need the very best people to help deliver our vision of advancing medical research, improving human health and changing people’s lives. Our team is proud to work for the Medical Research Foundation. We are ambitious for the Medical Research Foundation and for ourselves. We are approachable – providing advice to everyone and explaining our work. We are dedicated and committed to achieving the most for our donors and our researchers.  And we are involved – constantly looking for new ways to engage and improve. We are inspired by our work and we will be looking for this in you too.

What you can bring to the role

You will have sound experience of working in a fundraising position in a charity. You will also have experience of successfully securing income from voluntary sources including individuals and companies.

You will be able to support the delivery and growth of our fundraising programme with the aim of developing and maintaining long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with these supporters to meet and exceed annual income targets. You have excellent customers service skills and are able to communicate clearly to a variety of audiences.

Our offer:

• A salary of £30,000-£34,000, dependent on experience.
• Annual pay award, performance award scheme and other rewards.
• Generous pension contribution, with no qualifying period.
• 30 days annual leave each year, plus public holidays.
• 36 hour working week, usually worked over 5 days.
• Flexi-time system and core working hours of 10am to 4pm.
• Employee assistance programme.
• Other health-related benefits.
• An opportunity to make a difference to human health.

Role based at our Head Office in London (Tooley Street, London Bridge) OR Flexible remote working with regular travel to our Head Office

What the job involves
Funding research that will improve the lives of men with, or at high risk of, prostate cancer is one of Prostate Cancer UK’s highest priorities. Prostate cancer is harming too many men, in exchange for too few cures, which is why we are motivated more than ever to deliver a future where lives are no longer harmed by prostate cancer. We invest in the most innovative ideas to accelerate our knowledge and understanding of prostate cancer, and to develop better treatments and more effective approaches to diagnose the disease, so that we can transform the lives of all men with, or at risk of, prostate cancer.

We’re looking to appoint a passionate and enthusiastic Grant Manager to join our Research Directorate. This role will manage a portfolio of the charity’s active research grants, closely monitoring their progress against project timelines and provide support and advice to our grant holders, in order to optimise their delivery. You will develop a detailed understanding of the science behind these projects and build strong working relationships with the researchers and their institutions. It will be your responsibility to develop a detailed understanding of the results and outputs arising from Prostate Cancer UK’s grants and supporting the research community to successfully deliver the research we fund.

You will also help other teams within the charity understand the research we fund and work closely with colleagues to showcase our research portfolio to our supporters, demonstrating the impact of the charity’s investment in shifting the science and taking us a step closer to taming prostate cancer.

What we want from you
This is a really important role to the organisation, as research plays a significant part in our charity strategy, and so we need somebody who can hit the ground running. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about, and experienced in, research management and who has a degree in a bio-medical (or related) science subject. You should be motivated to consistently perform to the highest standards, with an eagerness to trial new ideas and continually improve the way the charity manages research grants and engages with the research community.

We are looking for someone who is a confident and clear communicator. You will be able to handle a wide range of enquiries regarding prostate cancer research, particularly in relation to research grant management, and be comfortable liaising with a variety of stakeholders, including senior researchers and colleagues.

You should be highly proficient in the use of standard IT packages, including Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, with a meticulous attention to detail. You must also be able to manage your responsibilities independently, prioritising your workload depending on business need, whilst also working on a number of collaborative initiatives with others in the Research Directorate, as well as the wider charity.

Importantly, you must be excited and motivated about achieving major improvements for men with, or at high risk of, prostate cancer.

Why work for us?
Simply put, we believe men deserve better. They deserve a future where lives and bodies are not harmed by prostate cancer. We continue to invest millions of pounds each year into ground-breaking biomedical research and we need a highly motivated individual to effectively manage our investments and ensure that the research we fund takes us a step closer to benefitting men affected by the disease.

We have a clear focus on delivering radical improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer, so that it can become a disease the next generation of men need not fear.

The support we’ll provide
Join our team and you’ll be working at an award-winning charity that will help you learn and develop your skills and expertise. We provide everything you’d expect from a professional organisation – competitive benefits package, enhanced contributory pension scheme, life insurance, season ticket loan – but much more besides. Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we fight for a better future for men.
