As leading charity recruitment specialists and a certified B Corp™, Harris Hill is committed to high and ever-improving standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment. We actively welcome applications from all sections of the community regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality and other protected characteristics.

In the spring of 2025, the Vivensa Foundation launched its new strategic framework and identity.  Formerly known as the Dunhill Medical Trust, it was back in the 1980s that our founder's niece recognised that the shifting demographics would drive a need for investment in a high-quality research base to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of ageing and ageing-related disease, together with the delivery of innovation to improve health and social care services for older people. 

Our charitable objects were never more relevant than they are today and the opportunities are immense to support our academic and clinical researcher community to make real systemic change. 

Today, we are the stewards of an endowment valued at around £170M, and have committed to distributing at least £30M over the next five years in in grant funding.  We have also ring-fenced a part of our endowment for social investment. You can read more about our Strategic Framework here.

We now have a full time, permanent vacancy for an aspiring grants management professional to help us to deliver our strategic plan. As a member of the Grants Team and reporting to the Director of Research, you will be a primary point of contact for organisations applying for funding for academic or clinical research, as well as working with the team to develop, implement and evaluate our funding streams.  As such, you will make key contributions to the development and delivery of our core services, reinforcing our reputation for high quality and support for the research community.  If you’d like to explore using your grants management experience or research training in a subject area relevant to the work of the Foundation in a slightly different context, identify with our values and have the great attention to detail, flexible “can do” attitude and restless curiosity essential to the success of a small, expert team, go to our website to download the full job description and person specification and find out how to apply.

The organisation is a grant-making charity, established in 2020. Our charitable aim is to transform young people’s mental health support in the UK.

Our vision is for a world where no young person is defined by their mental illness, and where they have access to the right support at the right time. We also want to strengthen organisations in the field and support the wider sector working to advance better mental health for young people. Our focus is on those young people who face particular need.

We award grants of approximately £8m a year. Grants are to youth, mental health and community charities working on the frontline with young people, universities and institutes to research better treatments for mental ill health and advocate for improvements. It is our intention to make a significant and long-term impact to young people in the UK.

Prospectus is proud to be working with the trust to recruit a new Grants Manager to join the team.

The role is offered on a full-time (minimum 0.8 FTE) basis with flexible working and the option of up to 25% of hours worked from home.

The role:
This is a key role at the organisation which will help bolster the capacity of our Grants Team. Reporting to the Head of Grants, the main purpose of the role will be to contribute to the smooth and efficient running of our grant-making activities.

This position would be ideal for someone taking their first step up into a Grants Manager role, with the successful candidate managing and monitoring a portfolio of grants and grant relationships from across our funded organisations, supporting the team with assessment of potential new grants, conducting research to inform future grant rounds, and carrying out day-to-day grants administration including via our Salesforce database.

This is a chance to join an organisation in the early years of its life, to contribute to shaping our grant-making and make an impact in an area you are passionate about.

The person:
The successful candidate will have a proven track record in grant-making in the charity sector, ideally having worked for a Trust, Foundation or Grant-making organisation which supports charities in the UK which strive to improve people’s lives.  This will have included experience of carrying out due diligence/charity analysis, grant monitoring, making funding recommendations and managing relationships with young people and stakeholders from a wide range of backgrounds. Exposure to youth mental health or a related field will be useful but not essential for the role.

This person will have exceptional levels of emotional maturity, discretion and diplomacy and will be an excellent communicator both verbally and in writing. An outstanding administrator with proven IT skills including MS Office, video conferencing and databases, this person will also have a keen eye for detail, the ability to multi-task and to plan ahead and to prioritise effectively. Whilst being able to process quite complex information easily, this person will be able to communicate simply and positively and will have a “can do” approach to their work. Experience of guiding and advising grant applicants will be important in addition to being responsive to others’ needs whilst being flexible and adaptable in a constantly evolving environment.

This role presents a fantastic opportunity to join this great organisation at a pivotal point in its development and offers plenty of room for professional development whilst working, learning and collaborating with an experienced, professional and friendly team.

We will be building our brand, diversifying our income streams and increasing our donors and giving profile.

Main Responsibilities:

• Building our brand, diversifying income streams, and increasing our donor profile.

• Developing and delivering fundraising strategies based on our Strategic Plan.
• Overseeing our funding portfolio and supporting the development of individual donors.

About Hope and Homes for Children:

Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.

Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of sexual and physical abuse, as well as extreme neglect.

Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.
