- Organising and planning work with a high level of autonomy.
- Supporting the monitoring, evaluation and learning of our work.
- Contributing to funding bids and reporting on KPIs to funders where appropriate.
- Supporting the wider Financial Sector Research team to deliver other pieces of research, particularly the asset manager and insurance sector benchmarks.

Project Background
To tackle the climate crisis and fuel poverty, we are going to need a LOT more people involved, taking action in whatever ways they can. Fortunately, there are hundreds of people in our area who are already stepping up to do this.
Our vision for the energy transition has two elements. Firstly, we must reduce energy demand, particularly from homes, where high energy bills are causing serious social problems.

They will help develop a new engagement process that takes a grassroots approach to identifying sites and maximises community involvement in, and benefit from, new schemes.
The successful applicant will connect new and existing renewable energy champions to the BANES Community Energy Network and develop a programme of networking, celebration and learning to support them. The role sits within BWCE’s Communications and Engagement team and the post holder will be supported by energy experts from BWCE and the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
Principal tasks
- Community Engagement and facilitation: Work with community members, stakeholders, organisations and the local Champions leading the process to maximise local participation, for example through workshops.
- Partnership working: Coordinate closely with Bath & North East Somerset and Wiltshire Councils, the Centre for Sustainable Energy and local partners to co-develop and implement the programme.
- Organise events and activities such as workshops, drop-in sessions, roadshows and webinars to increase participation in the process and awareness of community energy.
- Project Management: Take a project management approach to organising, scheduling, monitoring and prioritising tasks and managing risks.
- Process development: Work with partners to co-evolve the Future Energy Landscape model, including a business case planning tool that can be shared with other networks and communities.
- Communications: Provide content for communications materials that resonate in the communities with input from local champions and support from the BANES council project communications offer.
- Evaluation: Undertake data collection and reporting of Network activities, supporting evaluation through follow-up surveys, case studies, focus groups, working with Bath University.

Director of Research, from £70,000 dependent on experience, London and remote.
Are you a professional research manager ready to make the transition to leadership or already leading a team and ready to grow professionally and extend your reach? If so, you could lead the Medical Research Foundation’s Research department as our Director of Research.
This is an exciting time to join us. We recently launched our new five-year organisational strategy Giving hope through life-changing medical research and you will be crucial in helping us to deliver on this and achieve our vision of a world where medical research improves health for everyone.
History has shown us, time and again, that the best way to achieve better human health is through medical research. Over the past 100 years, we have witnessed monumental advances in medical research. We know that by investing in medical research now, we will see life-saving advances in the future.
While the last century has brought huge improvements in the quality and longevity of life, there are still many health conditions which impose a heavy burden on millions of people, in the UK and around the world. And in many areas of health there is a severe lack of research funding, which is holding back the scientific progress needed to change lives. This is where we step in.
Our mission is to lay the foundations for ground-breaking new discoveries and life-changing advances. We give hope to people whose health conditions are overlooked, by supporting research in areas that are underfunded. We invest in the brightest and best researchers, ensuring the next generation of scientists can continue to solve the biggest challenges facing human health.
In the last five years alone, we have invested over £25 million into life-changing medical research, focusing on areas that have historically been overlooked and underfunded. But there is still much more to do.
Looking ahead, we know that nine million people in England alone will be living with a major illness by 2040 – that’s 2.5 million more than in 2019, an increase of 37%. We will use our unique position, as a broad funder of medical research, to respond to these challenges and fund research in ways that will have the biggest possible impact on people’s lives.
We are broad and ambitious medical research funder and we operate to the highest professional standards. You will lead a department that funds research across the whole research spectrum from discovery to translation, and in a diverse range of priority areas including children and young people’s health, neglected mental health conditions and the impact of climate change on health. Visit our website to find out about our strategy to 2029: Giving hope through life-changing medical research.
As Director of Research, you will work closely with our CEO and will be responsible for:
- horizon scanning and landscape reviews to deliver our research strategy and ensure its continued relevance.
- research funding competitions to deliver at least £5m new research per annum.
- ongoing grant management of a £30m grant portfolio.
- reviewing and creating funding schemes to address unmet need.
- our framework for impact evaluation.
- wider development of the charity through membership of our Executive Leadership Team.
We are looking for candidates with:
- significant experience working in a biomedical sciences research/funding environment.
- significant experience of research funding competitions, peer review, and grant management.
- experience of the evaluation of research outputs and impact.
- experience of motivating and managing a team.
- excellent communication and interpersonal skills, able to evidence relationship building with senior stakeholders and acting as an organisational representative.
- a PhD in biomedical sciences or a degree in biological sciences (or equivalent experience) with extensive experience working in a biomedical sciences funding environment.
Our offer
- from £70,000 for full-time 36 hour week; willing to consider part-time (min. 0.8 FTE)
- 30 days of annual leave per year plus bank holidays (some of which can be used flexibly)
- 10% maximum employer contribution
- Life insurance at four times salary
- Enhanced family-related leave and sickness leave
- Learning and development programmes and external training opportunities
- Generous additional benefits including regular team lunches, annual health assessments and optional social programme
- The opportunity to join a dedicated team making a difference to human health
Our team is proud to work for the Medical Research Foundation. We are ambitious for the organisation and for ourselves. We are approachable - providing advice to everyone and explaining our work. We are dedicated and committed to achieving the most for our donors and our researchers. And we are involved – constantly looking for new ways to engage and improve.
We value spending time working in-person to develop strong connections with each other and with our mission, and you will be based at our bright, plant-filled central London office for a minimum of three days a week, with the option to work remotely for the remainder.

About the organisation
The Femicide Census the most compressive single source of UK information about women who have been killed and the men who have killed them. Launched in 2015, the Femicide Census became a separate legal entity in 2019 and a registered charity in 2024. Since its launch, the Femicide Census has become established as a leading articulation of men’s fatal violence against women in the UK.
Currently, the Femicide Census does not enter into direct employment but has a secondment agreement with nia, who act as employer.
For nearly 50 years, nia has provided high quality, women-led services across North and East London. nia’s values, and our commitment to upholding them, set us apart. We put women first – always and without hesitation: we believe women, we are run by women, for women. We leave no woman behind: we challenge inequality and discrimination and believe that uniting women of all backgrounds is essential to ending the sex-based oppression of women.
Men’s violence against women is a leading cause of the premature death for women globally but research in the UK and Europe is limited and unconnected. The Femicide Census improves upon currently available data by providing detailed comparable data about femicides in the UK, including demographic and contextual factors and the methods men selected to kill women.
About you
We are looking for a skilled female researcher to carry out data collection, analysis, research, monitoring and evaluation of data and report writing for the Femicide Census. You should be a feminist who is committed to contributing to ending men’s violence against women and girls, highly skilled in data collection and analysis and want to be part of this ground-breaking project.
