Join us at the forefront of health and social care policy and practice

The King’s Fund paid-for events business began in 2006 and has grown organically year on year by developing new products and increasing reach.  The events programme attracts participants from across the NHS, local authority, people using health and care services, commercial, statutory, and the voluntary and community sectors. The King’s Fund’s vision is that the best possible health and care is available to all and our work involves understanding developments, challenges and opportunities across health and care. The events programme supports our organisational goals and brings people together to discuss, share and learn.

The events team is responsible for delivering a large portion of the free events that take place across The Fund; including online events, roundtables, workshops, receptions and dinners. The team also has ownership over our paid-for events programme; which includes virtual conferences, in-person conferences and congresses. The events team ensures that there is a co-ordinated and uniform approach to delivering virtual or in-person events, and that each is delivered to the same high standard.

This role will give you an exciting opportunity to work in our busy events team within a well-respected health think-tank and charity. You will work with colleagues on planning and delivering a mixture of pay-to-attend conferences (virtual and in-person), roundtable discussions, dinners, and free online events. You will also manage the content design and delivery of our joint-badged events with our Corporate Partners and Supporters.

You will lead on several events in the schedule; ensuring they run smoothly, keep to strict budgets, are delivered to a very high standard, meet the expectations of colleagues and delegates, and enhance our reputation and public profile. You will also play a key role in shaping the future of our portfolio of in-person, virtual and hybrid events.

To join us, you’ll need a degree (or equivalent) and experience in planning and delivering virtual and in person conferences and other smaller events. With this background, you’ll know how to research and develop event content to create engaging programmes and attract wide audiences. You will have excellent organisational skills and the ability to lead effective logistics arrangements in preparation for and on the day of events. We’ll expect you to work hard to support the team and you will be given responsibility for your own areas of work. You’ll also need to be flexible, diligent, and comfortable being the main point of contact for many people from sponsors to speakers.

The Fund has a set of core values and behaviours that we believe will help us to achieve our own goals and the culture we need to enable our people to work at their best. You will be expected to live up to these in all areas of your work. Clear communication is key, along with good organisation. Professional and efficient, you’ll thrive on ever-changing challenges.

The Fund has an ambition to increase the diversity of its workforce and introduce careers in health and care policy to a broader range of people. We encourage applicants from all sections of the community, including people from Black and ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities and people from the LGBT+ community. We believe that diversity of background and experience contributes to a broader collective perspective that will improve the way we influence health and social care policy.

The Fund is committed to a hybrid working model that meets the organisation’s needs, while giving staff flexibility to choose between office and home working. Most staff are expected to work a minimum of 40% from our central London office and are free to work more days from the office if they prefer.

In addition to a competitive salary, The King’s Fund offers generous holiday entitlements, a £3 daily discount in our café and an on-site gym.

Location type: Hybrid

Reporting to: Chair of Montpelier Foundation

Annual salary: £55K - £65K GBP, conmesurate with experience

Contract type: Permanent

Candidate level: Experienced non-manager

Background

Montpelier Foundation is a UK-registered charity focused on tackling climate change and poverty. Our team works on behalf of the Montpelier and Hampshire Foundations’ family office, managing close to $20M in grants annually to non-profits worldwide.

Our priorities are to speed up the energy transition away from fossil fuels towards clean renewables and to protect the land and forests which absorb carbon from our atmosphere, while safeguarding the livelihoods of those most affected by climate change.

We do this by funding non-profit partners across the globe: in high- and middle-income countries, where there are the highest greenhouse gas emissions, and in low-income countries, where there is the least amount of climate change funding available and the highest levels of poverty. We work to ensure that our grants provide meaningful and flexible support to our partners and have the highest impact for the intended outcomes of the Foundation.

Purpose of role

Based in our offices in Knightsbridge, London, the Programme Manager will have experience in grant-making or in relevant non-profit or policy sectors, and an interest in social and environmental causes globally. This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to make a significant contribution to tackling climate change and poverty, in a predominantly office-based role. You would be joining a tight-knit team working in a fun, innovative and flexible environment.

Primary responsibilities

• Managing an existing portfolio of livelihoods and climate grants, i.e. owning the relationship with the NGOs, following their progress, overseeing the financial and legal aspects of the grant, and reporting to the Chair. A lot of this can be achieved through desk-based work, calls and meetings, but sometimes we need to travel to see our partners’ work in person.
• Making recommendations on grant renewals, by carrying out detailed analysis of the NGOs and the impact of the grants and working towards their approval by the board of directors.
• Exploring new grant opportunities under the strategic direction of the Foundation’s Chair.
• Maintaining, strengthening and growing the Foundation’s international network of foundations, subject experts, social intermediaries and service providers.
• Carrying out administrative tasks that are shared across the Programme Team, which could include financial reporting and website management.

Experience

• Strong academic background with a degree in a relevant field (postgraduate degree preferred) or equivalent professional experience.
• At least 5 years’ work experience in grant-making, or in relevant non-profit or policy sectors.
• Strong interest in international development and climate change, and a willingness to keep learning about new sectors, geographies and solutions.
• Fluency in English with excellent writing and communication/presentation skills.
• Assertiveness and confidence working with people and building trust-based relationships – in person, on the phone and on email with grantees, the team and board.
• Strong research and analytical skills.
• Ability and willingness to hit the ground running and take direction.
• Team player who likes being part of a small team and gladly pitches in on any task, big or small.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office including Excel.
• Right to live and work in the UK.

Personal traits desired

• Adaptable - able to handle a variety of tasks and changing situations.
• Personable - pleasant to work with, able to bring positive energy to the team.
• Independent - capable of working autonomously and managing own time.
• Tenacious - persistent in tackling challenges and seeing tasks through.
• Flexible - open to new ideas and ways of doing things.
• Collaborative - a good team player who works well with others.

The deadline for application is Sunday 24th November 2024

Applications will be evaluated as they are received, allowing for an ongoing review process.
