About Kinship

Kinship is the leading charity in England and Wales for kinship carers – relatives and friends who raise children when their parents aren’t able to. We offer kinship carers expert advice as well as financial, legal, practical and emotional support and understanding from the moment they need it, for as long as they need it. We’re always there to help with the complicated and stressful decisions that so many kinship families have to make, as well as to celebrate the good times.

Working alongside kinship carers and the children they raise, with their voices and views at the fore, we build communities of support and give everything we have to fight for each family and their rights, as well as to raise awareness of kinship care and secure better support for all those playing this critical role.

In return, we offer 30 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata if part-time) and a pension.

Grassroots Movements Programme Manager

Are you someone with experience of being involved with social movements and work within the grant-making field? Are you excited at the prospect of being able to co-design a new funding stream to support social movements?

We’re looking for a dynamic individual to co-lead our new funding programme for social movements aimed at resourcing movements that are situated on the frontlines of social and environmental injustice, and who are striving for transformative change.

You will need to have a good understanding of both these worlds, experience of participatory processes, exceptional communication skills with the ability to build strong relationships with a range of groups and audiences

The movements fund has emerged within JRCT through a careful process of learning, listening and consultation. The fund is rooted in a movement led decision-making process and will be allocating £1 million over 3 grant rounds in 2022-23. This fund is more important than ever in the context of deep structural inequalities and injustices within our society.
