Are you our new Grants Manager?

• Are you committed to defending human rights and human dignity, and interested in issues affecting marginalised and excluded people?
• Are you passionate about social justice and believe in the agency of people to create change?
• Do you have a personal and/or professional connection to one or more of our priority areas, and experience or understanding of grant making?
• Are you emotionally intelligent and able to form and develop strong working relationships with a range of individuals and groups?

If so, then you might be the right person to join the AB Charitable Trust at this exciting time.

Our priorities and approach

• The human rights framework
• The criminal legal system
• Migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum
• Access to justice

The A B Charitable Trust exists to promote human dignity and defend the human rights of the most marginalised and excluded people. Our approach is founded on liberal principles of universalism and human rights. We believe in justice, not charity. For us, this means supporting work that promotes rights and does not diminish dignity. It also means supporting efforts to change the systems that shape the lives of marginalised and excluded people in pernicious ways. We have a particular interest in work that uses the law to address inequities and injustices.

Our journey

The Trust was founded 35 years ago to promote and defend human dignity. Since then, we have given over £47m to organisations, and this year we will spend some £10m. We have significantly increased our grantmaking over recent years and intend to continue on a trajectory of growth. This role will join us as we look to the longer term future and begin to develop a new strategy that will build on all that is being achieved through our current strategy, which ends in 2027. 

We are excited by the future and are fortunate to have a modest but growing budget which is expected to reach £15m by 2027. But we are realistic about the challenges involved. The areas we work in are highly politicised and the need is ever increasing, which is why it is important that we attract candidates who are able to help us navigate these waters and who can contribute to maximising our impact at this critical moment. 

About the role and you

The key purpose of this role is to:

• Effectively manage a portfolio or grants across all of our priority areas
• Work closely with the team, grant holders and Board members, developing strong and supportive working relationships
• Contribute to the development of our new strategy and be committed to our values and share our aspirations around best grantmaking practice

The new Grants Manager will need to be genuinely interested in grantmaking in our priority areas and will have the curiosity to learn and develop new areas of knowledge and expertise. You will need to be able to demonstrate a passion for the work of small, grassroots organisations, have emotional intelligence and strong communications skills, and also be genuinely excited about joining our team. 

This could be the right opportunity for a range of potential candidates. We value the knowledge and expertise gained through lived experience of social injustice alongside sector experience. We’re not looking for a seasoned grant maker but you will need to bring commitment to our work and vision, demonstrate experience of seeking to bring about change on tough issues, and have experience of one or more of our priority areas. 

If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role then please contact Allyson Davies, who is advising on this appointment.

We value, welcome and respect all the differences that make us who we are, including: age, cultural background, disability and mental health, ethnicity and race, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and social background.

Militaries are major contributors to the climate crisis but it remains unclear how large their greenhouse gas emissions are because reporting under domestic and international frameworks is often voluntary or incomplete.

Since 2021, CEOBS and our international network of academic and civil society partners have played an important role in drawing attention to this data gap. Our Military Emissions Gap project works to communicate the scale of the reporting gap, to mainstream the topic in climate and military spaces, and to help create the conditions whereby the emissions from military activities and armed conflicts are properly documented and understood. We work with a wide range of stakeholders, from militaries, academia and the media, to policy makers and peace groups.

Research is vital to the project, underpinning all of our advocacy and awareness-raising activities and, thanks to recent grant funding we are now in a position to create a dedicated post for the project.

The role

You will work with our Climate Advocacy Coordinator, Director and academic partners to produce and contribute to unique research on military and conflict emissions, military-related climate impacts, and comparative studies on civil mitigation and decarbonisation strategies.

Core responsibilities

• Monitoring the rapidly evolving landscape of military climate mitigation strategies and reporting.

• Keeping up-to-date with emerging good practice on carbon and environmental reporting standards.

• Identifying research opportunities and generating and implementing research projects, both independently and in collaboration with partners. 

• Contributing to the development of advocacy campaigns.

• Engaging with our diverse range of collaborative partners, including militaries, government representatives, NGOs and academics.

• Seeking new networking opportunities and relationships.

• Representing CEOBS at domestic and international events.

• Providing support to the Climate Advocacy Coordinator.

• Following relevant environmental trends and dynamics and their intersection with the military sector and climate change.

Essential requirements

• A good degree in the field of environmental sciences and a minimum of 5 years experience working as an environmental professional.

• Demonstrated experience in carbon accounting. 

• Be able to demonstrate technical ability and the capacity to remain updated with emerging issues and standards. 

• Proven research skills, a keen eye for detail and the ability to communicate complex topics clearly to different audiences.

• Excellent written and spoken English.

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills and comfortable engaging and networking with a diverse range of stakeholders.

• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.

• Able to undertake domestic and international travel.

• Be eligible to work in the UK.

Desirable requirements

• Postgraduate qualification in a relevant field. 

• Knowledge of the defence sector. 

• Experience in working with the media to help tell environmental stories.

• Full membership of an environmental professional body.

What we offer

• Flexible working, with a range of hybrid and office (in West Yorkshire) working options that can be discussed at interview.

• 4% employer’s pension contribution.

• Contribution towards the costs of physical and mental healthcare through an Employee Assistance Programme. 

• A relaxed and friendly workplace and the opportunity for your work to make a difference.

The post is currently funded for 12 months, with extensions subject to further funding. It is a full-time role but can be contracted for between 30 and 37.5 hours per week. We offer 25 days holiday a year (pro rata) plus Bank Holidays.

We are based close to Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, which offers direct access to beautiful countryside and a vibrant and progressive cultural life, and is 45 minutes by train from Leeds or Manchester. Interviews will take place in July/August.

We are committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourage applications from all qualified candidates.

Do you believe in the power of data and think this power should be used to improve the lives of the people living in Scotland?  Yes?  Research Data Scotland needs you!

Are you a brilliantly organised individual who thrives on keeping multiple plates spinning?!  Do you love getting into the nitty gritty of digital products and services, gaining an intimate knowledge of platforms and navigating your way through the variety of tasks that keep everything running? If this sounds like you, keep reading! We’re looking for a digital super-star to support our project work and help us keep providing access to data in a secure and efficient way.

About us

Research Data Scotland (RDS) is a charity set up by the Scottish public sector and leading universities. We help researchers find and make use of data that can improve the lives of people in Scotland. Working in partnership, we do this by widening the range of data available, creating new data assets and providing a single point of contact for safe, secure and effective access to public data in a trustworthy manner.

Data is often locked away in lots of individual systems, across many different organisations, and isn’t in a format that makes access or integration easy. We can help researchers to unlock the potential of this data by giving them information and advice that speeds up and simplifies their work.

RDS aims to provide a step change in the service to researchers, whilst maintaining the high standards of information governance and data security already in place. We aim to work as openly as possible, maintaining standards in transparency and ethics. Our focus is on providing a streamlined service for researchers, as well as extending the range of data available through the service, particularly in the areas of Covid-19, NHS imaging, geospatial data, children and justice services.

Our partners include: Scottish Government, Public Health Scotland, National Records of Scotland (NRS), and the Universities of Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. We work closely with the national and regional safe havens. And we are in contact with other organisations in Scotland and across the UK in the data research sector, including public sector, research and commercial bodies.

About the job

The Associate Product Manager plays a vital role in delivering user-focused digital products and services that make it easier for researchers to find and access data in a secure and efficient way.

They are responsible for supporting a range of digital projects at RDS collaborating with internal teams and external agencies to maintain and develop our digital platforms and support the delivery of high-quality services.

Working methodically, the role holder will ensure our live platforms (website, metadata catalogue and Researcher Access Service) are well managed, overseeing a planned programme of service improvements, functionality and design of new features.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone developing their digital product and delivery career or moving into agile delivery from another project management or coordination background.

For example, you could lead on the management of a key multi-academy trust, or could be supporting other team members with individual school partnerships, as well as supporting the Associate Director of TRAPs with overall research project design and planning.

What the job involves

We have an opportunity for a Senior Strategic Communications (Campaigns) Officer to join our Strategic Communications, Campaigns and Brand team. You’ll work closely with the Strategic Communications (Campaigns) Manager to successfully plan and deliver major strategic campaigns and key brand moments, taking the lead on day-to-day project management to keep everything coordinated and running smoothly.

As a Senior Strategic Communications (Campaigns) Officer you’ll take responsibility for developing content for allocated big-ticket campaigns and brand moments, ensuring all content is consistent with our brand and tone of voice. The campaigns you’ll be working on will revolve around our brand, high value fundraising and priority campaigns seeking to drive change. You’ll develop content marketing strategies that will tell stories to reach our key audiences. Our current campaigns focus on reaching more men so they can make informed choices about their prostate cancer risk, while also working to reduce health inequalities and better engage Black men, a community disproportionately affected by prostate cancer.

Collaboration is a big part of this role.  Working closely with colleagues across the organisation, you’ll help shape high-impact content marketing strategies and integrate key messages across the organisation. You’ll also support the development of creative content for key partnerships and campaigns, ensuring content aligns with our brand and campaign objectives.

What we want from you

We’re looking for someone who’s experienced in supporting strategy and delivering major campaigns and brand moments that make a real difference and help us connect with new audiences. You’ll have a solid understanding of current communications practices and a keen eye on emerging trends, bringing fresh ideas to the table.

With excellent project management skills, you’ll be comfortable in using collaboration tools like Trello to keep everything on track. You’ll be highly organised, proactive and comfortable juggling multiple priorities.

You’ll be skilled in developing and delivering creative, engaging content for different platforms, making sure it’s always aligned with our brand and tone of voice. You’ll also have strong analytical skills, able to quickly digest complex information and turn it into clear, actionable insights.

Above all, you’ll be an excellent communicator — someone who can translate technical detail into plain, accessible language, build trusted relationships at senior levels, and work effectively with a range of external partners and stakeholders.

If you’re looking for your next communications role where you’ll inspire action and help drive positive change for men, we’d love to hear from you.

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.
