At the heart of the 2027 programme is a paid, 12-month role within a leading foundation, trust, or social investment organisation. You’ll be employed full-time in a grant-making or related position with one of our dynamic host organisations across the UK. In this role, you’ll contribute directly to improving the communities your host serves while earning a salary of at least £25,000 (or £25,642 if based in London).
Alongside your placement, you’ll take part in an acclaimed development programme designed to build the knowledge, skills, and experience needed for a successful career in the funding sector. Through this, you’ll explore the challenges within grant-making and social investment, develop your leadership potential, and work alongside peers to imagine and create a more equitable and effective funding system. The programme supports you not only to thrive in your new role but also to grow into a future changemaker in the sector.
This unique blend of training, professional experience, and network-building will equip you to take the next step toward a decision-making role in a foundation, trust, or social investment organisation—helping to shape how resources are used to create lasting change in communities.
Why 2027 exists
Launched in 2017, 2027 was born out of a desire to shift power in the grant-making sector. It aims to bridge the gap between funders and the communities they serve—particularly by addressing the lack of people with lived experience of working-class communities in decision-making roles. 2027 helps change who is involved in making funding decisions and how those decisions are made.
The Job
In your placement, you could be:
- Managing parts of a grant portfolio
- Building relationships with community partners
- Making funding recommendations
- Preparing reports and updates for trustees
- Engaging with the funder’s broader organisation to inspire interest in community work
- Ensuring legal and compliance obligations are met
- Representing your host externally and bringing in outside learning
Each role will vary slightly depending on your host organisation. We’ll work with you to ensure a placement that aligns with your goals and development.
Who You’ll Work For
You’ll be matched with a respected host organisation—one of the UK’s leading foundations, trusts, or social investment organisations—based on your location preferences and interests. Previous hosts have included:
- BBC Children in Need
- National Lottery Community Fund
- Joseph Rowntree Foundation
- Sport England
- Better Society Capital
- City Bridge Trust
- NHS Charities Together
The Development Programme
As part of your role, you’ll participate in a comprehensive professional development programme led by sector experts. It includes:
- Residentials: Two in-person events for deep learning and peer connection.
- Masterclasses: Online, expert-led sessions exploring key sector topics.
- Peer Support Sessions: Monthly confidential spaces to reflect and share learning.
- Mentoring: Each Associate is paired with an experienced sector mentor.
- Self-Directed Learning: Curated content for reflection and growth between sessions.
- Peer Coaching: Training and monthly sessions to build coaching skills and mutual support.
- 360 Review + 1:1 Coaching: Holistic feedback and personalised coaching to support your development.
- 2027 Connect: A mix of events to connect with the wider 2027 community, including alumni, hosts, and mentors.
Career Progression
By the end of the programme, you’ll have built the experience, confidence, and insight to take on more senior or decision-making roles in the funding sector—playing a meaningful part in shaping how money is invested for social good.
Job description
- Job Title: 2027 Associate
- Salary: Minimum of £25,000 (£25,642 if based in London)
- Employer: One of our host foundations, trusts, or social investment organisations
- Location: Opportunities across England and Scotland (you’ll share your preferences)
- Hours: Typically 9am–5pm, with some flexibility
- Contract: 12-month fixed term, starting October 2025
*Foundations and trusts are grant-making charities that fund individuals, groups or organisations to run projects that benefit communities. Social investment organisations provide repayable finance to charities and enterprises working to create long-term social change.

We are currently looking for a Principal Legal Adviser (Maternity cover) to drive forward opportunities for strategic legal and policy advocacy. This is an exciting opportunity to help build an ambitious movement to phase out oil and gas extraction in the UK.
About us
Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK. We strategically support, connect and elevate ideas and voices to set in motion a just transition away from fossil fuel production commensurate with the scale of the climate crisis.
The Role
As Principal Legal Adviser (Maternity cover), you will collaborate with Uplift’s team and key partners to ensure that our collective work is underpinned by robust and forward-thinking legal and policy analysis. From identifying strategic litigation opportunities to advancing law reform advocacy, this is a diverse role that is key to our work.
Uplift has taken and supported high-profile climate litigation and used legal insight to generate front-page headlines linked to our campaigns. Most recently, we have won the legal case against the Rosebank oil field in the North Sea. We have also generated legal analysis to support a wider network to participate in vital public consultation processes.
The successful candidate will have exceptional legal and advocacy skills, an ability to think strategically about law and policy opportunities, and a keen interest in climate and energy-related policy and campaigns. A strong commitment to Uplift's mission and core values is also required.
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include:
Strategy and leadership
- Responsible for the development and implementation of Uplift’s legal strategy.
- Lead the development of Uplift’s strategic legal work, including litigation, law reform advocacy, and legal advice and analysis, that advances Uplift’s objectives.

- Identify and shape strategic litigation opportunities, providing legal analysis and support to external lawyers and experts throughout.
Analysis and legal advocacy

- Provide fact-checking and ad-hoc legal research for the Uplift team to ensure accuracy in Uplift’s public communications.
Management and staff support

- Manage sub-grants, sub-contractors and arrangements with external lawyers where relevant.
- Oversee financial and budget management of key legal work programmes and campaigns, with support from Uplift’s senior management team.
- Provide ad hoc high-level legal guidance and advice to Uplift’s senior management team on operational matters.
Our ideal candidate will have:
- Experience in a similar or related role.
- A formal legal qualification, with a strong preference for previous experience in strategic litigation. Legal expertise in an area relevant to Uplift’s legal work is essential: environmental or climate law, public law (including administrative law) and/or just energy transitions.
- Experience of working and advising on policy areas linked to Uplift’s agenda would be a significant asset.
- A demonstrable ability to provide compelling and novel analysis, including defining and executing strategic legal projects.
- Motivation, initiative, exceptionally high standards, a collaborative approach, and associated qualities are needed to work in a dynamic organisation with an ambitious agenda.
- A strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice.
Application
Accessibility and Anti-oppression are at the core of Uplift’s values and therefore we strongly encourage applications from candidates whose backgrounds or accessibility/support needs mean they have been traditionally under-represented in the climate and environment sector.
