Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.

At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.

Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

The Organisation:
The Hardman Trust is the only charity in England, Wales and Scotland focusing on the unique needs of people on long term sentences.
People facing decades of prison time often completely lose connection with their family and friends on the outside. Depending on the prison, there may be limited access to rehabilitative programmes and educational courses until later in the sentence. It can be hard to maintain hope, and direction, or create meaningful plans for the future.
People leaving prison after 10 years will have different needs to those leaving after 10 months. The world has changed – there are different habits and new social norms. Prices have gone up, technology has evolved, neighbourhoods look different, and the workplace has changed. It takes time to adjust.

Deeply rooted in the criminal justice sector, we plan to develop further our programme of support for those on long sentences both within and, we hope, beyond prison too; we aim to extend the reach and deepen the impact of our support and grants; and attract new partnerships with funders and like-minded third sector organisations. Last year we completed a merger with another charity which has expanded our reach and capacity.

Person Specification:
You will bring the following skills and experience to the role:

• Demonstrable senior leadership and management experience
• Proven experience of strategic planning, financial and human resources management
• Experience of managing organisational budgets and maximising resources
• Understanding of funding applications as well as knowledge and experience of generating funds from a variety of sources

Job Title: Trusts and Grants Manager 
Job Ref: TGM444 
Contract: Permanent 
Hours: Full time – 37 hours per week 
Salary: £31,000 – £35,000 per annum, depending on experience 
Location: The role is offered on a hybrid basis with attendance at the Penny Brohn UK National Centre 3 days per week

About Us

Penny Brohn UK is the cancer health and wellbeing charity. We help people feel better in mind, body and spirit by offering support through our team of cancer support experts (which includes doctors, nutritionists, counsellors and exercise therapists).

Penny Brohn UK helps people with cancer to feel more physically and emotionally able to manage the impacts of their diagnosis and treatment, be more in control of their choices and have the best quality of life possible. By making our services freely available, our aim is for all people with cancer to be able to access the high-quality support they need.

The Role

We are excited to be recruiting a new Trusts and Grants Manager and are seeking to appoint an experienced and motivated individual to operationalise and deliver a refreshed trusts and grants strategy at Penny Brohn UK.

This is a key role within our High Value Fundraising Team, with responsibility for managing the full trusts and grants portfolio, from smaller awards (c. £5,000) through to significant high-value grants (typically £10,000 and above). The postholder will lead on developing a strong funder pipeline, submitting high-quality applications and reports, stewarding funders, and maximising income across the programme.

The successful candidate will initially hold sole responsibility for the trusts and grants income stream, with support from the Head of Fundraising and Communications. However, depending on income growth over the first 12–18 months, there may be an opportunity to expand the team and recruit a Trusts and Grants Officer to support delivery, which would bring a future line management element to the role.

This role would suit someone who has previously managed an income stream within a smaller charity environment, or an experienced Trusts and Grants Officer who is looking to take the next step into a management-level position.

The individual we are looking for will:

• Have a proven track record of securing grants from trusts and foundations across a range of values.
• Be confident in writing persuasive, high-quality funding applications and reports.
• Bring strong project management and relationship-building skills, with the ability to grow and manage a healthy prospect pipeline.
• Be a team player with excellent communication skills, able to collaborate across functions and represent Penny Brohn UK externally with professionalism and passion.
• Be highly motivated and proactive, with a commitment to delivering excellent funder experiences and upholding the mission and values of Penny Brohn UK.

In return for your hard work and dedication you will enjoy a wide variety of benefits including:

• 30 days holiday plus 8 bank holidays
• Beautiful workspace in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Bristol with free onsite parking
• Subsidised lunch, freshly prepared onsite in the Penny Brohn kitchen
• Flexible and hybrid working
• Enhanced sick pay after six month’s service
• Auto enrolment into the Penny Brohn UK pension scheme
• Free Life Assurance
• Family friendly policies with enhanced maternity and paternity leave after one year of service
• Specsavers Corporate eyecare test
• Cycle to work scheme
• Access to subsidised wellbeing at the Penny Brohn UK National Centre

Closing date: Tuesday 20 May 2025
Interview date: Thursday 29 May 2025
Start date: As soon as possible
Please note: we would advise anyone interested in the position to submit their application as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as we may close the advert early should a suitable candidate be found.
