Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and it’s harming too many lives. At Prostate Cancer UK, one of our top priorities is funding research that leads to real change. It’s vital we do our best to make sure this research makes a meaningful difference to men’s lives, and that’s where you come in. 

We’re at an exciting time, with a new strategy coming soon, and so we are looking to grow our Research Funding Team. We’re looking for an enthusiastic and proactive Grant Manager to help us deliver our core funding schemes and embark on new, exciting initiatives to fund ground-breaking research that will revolutionise how prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated. 

You’ll take responsibility for a portfolio of around a third of our active research grants, providing support and guidance to the researchers leading them. You’ll be a main point of contact for grant applicants, supporting them through the application process and providing them with guidance about remit and eligibility. Using your understanding of research funding and administration, you’ll work with our Senior Research Officers to make sure our funding schemes run smoothly, to time and support our funding Committees in their review of the applications we receive. 

What the job involves

It’s crucial that we not only have fair and robust processes to ensure that we fund the very best research, but that we also closely monitor and support the delivery of the resulting projects, to maximise their impact and accelerate the advancements we see through research. Which is why we’re looking to appoint an experienced Grant Manager to join our Research Directorate.

As part of your responsibilities, you’ll manage a portfolio of our active research grants, closely monitoring their progress and finances, and provide valuable support and advice to our grant holders and their teams. You’ll develop a detailed understanding of the science behind these projects and build positive working relationships with the researchers and their institutions. You’ll monitor your portfolio for demonstrable outputs (publications, presentations, intellectual property etc.) and you’ll work closely with colleagues in other teams to help them better understand the research we fund in order to showcase this to our supporters and potential donors.

You’ll support the delivery of our research funding grant schemes, managing at least one of our grant rounds, whilst also supporting our other funding schemes, ensuring that we maintain robust processes and adhere to industry and department standards. You’ll also help direct on our activities to involve people with experience of prostate cancer in research, including their involvement in the assessment of the research proposals we receive, as well as supporting researchers to include patients in the design and delivery of their projects.

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.

How and where we work

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

This is a hands-on, autonomous position requiring strong initiative, with an emphasis on ensuring safe, timely, compliant, and budget-controlled outcomes for residents.

• Conduct site inspections, quality audits, and regular meetings with subcontractors to confirm health & safety compliance and adherence to regulatory/legislative requirements.
• Liaise effectively with internal teams, external contractors, residents, and locality stakeholders to keep all parties informed and maintain collaborative relationships.

About Working Well Trust

Working Well Trust is a mental health and employment charity in London. All of our projects share the aim of improving the lives of people with mental health support needs, learning disabilities and/or complex issues through training and employment.

We are recruiting a Data Administrator to provide high-quality client contact, data management and performance reporting for our Connect to Work service in Enfield borough.

This role plays a central part in ensuring the service runs smoothly and meets contractual requirements. You will act as a first point of contact for new referrals, while also leading on accurate data entry, reporting and insight to support service delivery and continuous improvement.

The role is ideal for someone who enjoys combining people-facing work with structured, detail-focused data and administrative responsibilities, and who is motivated by supporting people to move towards employment.

What you’ll be doing

If you were working with us, you would be at the heart of how our Connect to Work service demonstrates impact, quality and compliance.

You would take ownership of data management for the Enfield Connect to Work contract. That means ensuring accurate and timely data entry across multiple systems, including DWP PRaP, always in line with GDPR and contractual requirements. You would maintain high-quality client records and digital filing systems, proactively spotting and resolving data integrity issues before they become problems.

You would turn data into insight. Using the DWP dashboard, Excel tools and performance dashboards, you would collate, analyse and interpret service activity and outcomes. You would produce clear, concise KPI and performance reports for commissioners, senior managers and operational teams. Your analysis would help identify trends, risks and opportunities to improve performance and strengthen employment outcomes for participants.

You would also lead on audit preparation and ensure our reporting meets IPS and Fidelity standards. When a new CRM is introduced by the funder, you would support a smooth transition, provide feedback to developers and help embed the system within the team.

Alongside data responsibilities, you would play a key role in referrals. You would act as a first point of contact for new participants, undertaking eligibility assessments using a structured questionnaire. You would confidently and sensitively gather information relating to employment, mental health and physical health needs, and provide clear information about the service and next steps. Where risks or safeguarding concerns arise, you would escalate appropriately and in line with service protocols.

You would handle general enquiries from participants and stakeholders, signposting where Connect to Work is not the right provision. You would liaise with Local London regarding referral submissions and ensure tracking systems are up to date.

Internally, you would support frontline colleagues by providing training and guidance on data entry and performance recording requirements. You would help create simple, robust systems so advisers can focus on supporting participants into work.

In short, you would combine strong technical data skills with excellent communication and a genuine commitment to quality. Your work would ensure that our service is compliant, insightful and continuously improving.

What we offer

• £29,000 per year
• 30 days annual leave plus public holidays, pro rata (FTE)
• Paid company closed days at the end of the year (FTE)
