Job Details

The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK. Our aim is a healthier population, supported by high quality health care that can be equitably accessed.  The REAL Centre was set up to improve the quality of decisions across the health and care system.  We do this by commissioning and conducting high-quality research which provides evidence on issues such as funding, service priorities and workforce.

We are seeking a highly experienced funding / grants manager who can work with us on a fixed term basis to launch a major funding call later this year, oversee the application and assessment process, and onboard the successful applicants. 

The funding call, with total funding of £14 million for two REAL Centre Research Units and a linked fellowship programme. The Units will develop research programmes in our areas of interest; demand for and supply of health and social care and support the development of the fellowship programme.

This is a complex and high-profile funding programme; the ideal applicant will have experience of managing research funding on a similar scale. Outstanding communication skills and the ability to manage a wide range of both internal and external stakeholder relationships (across organisations and all levels of seniority) is essential. This is a fast-paced programme that will suit an individual looking for a new challenge in an ambitious team.

Please note that we are currently working remotely and will be moving to a hybrid working offer as COVID-19 restrictions ease.

This role is being offered on an 18-Month fixed-term contract, however secondments are welcome.

THE HEALTH FOUNDATION

About Us

Health is our most precious asset. Good health and wellbeing enables us to live happy, fulfilling lives and frees us up to achieve our potential. It fuels our prosperity – a healthy and productive labour force is the engine that powers our economy. And it helps to build a stronger society by enabling us to play a full part in family life, make social connections and contribute to our communities. 

Our health is shaped by a range of factors including our early life, the work we do and the income we earn, the education we receive and the homes and places we live in. The health and care system should support good health and wellbeing by enabling everyone to access the high-quality treatment, care and support they need, when they need it.  

Yet, good health remains out of reach for too many people in the UK. Improvements in life expectancy have slowed. We compare poorly with other leading nations on some important aspects of our health, such as cancer and heart disease. Deep inequalities in health between our poorest and wealthiest communities have widened. Meanwhile, health and care services are under huge pressure and struggling to provide access to timely, high-quality care. 

It doesn’t have to be like this. By valuing our health as an asset, investing in health and care services and focusing on the wider factors that shape our health and drive inequalities, we can build a healthier nation.
