About The Rufford Foundation

The Rufford Foundation is a grant-making charity that provides funding for nature conservation programmes and projects.

The flagship Rufford Small Grants Programme awards funding to individuals working in developing countries who are starting on the ladder of conservation research and establishing pilot programmes. Since its inception in 1999, the Rufford Small Grants Programme has given over £37 million through more than 6,100 grants to projects in over 150 countries. The programme identifies scientists and practitioners at the early stages of their careers and provides targeted support to enable them to achieve their goal of making a difference in terms of conservation. A searchable database of Rufford Small Grants projects can be found on our website.

In 2023, we started to pilot our Organisational Grants funding stream to provide core, multi-year funding to small local NGOs to help them strengthen their financial and institutional capacity to ensure long-term viability.

This is an exciting time to join The Rufford Foundation, as the postholder will play an essential role in encouraging grantees to apply for further funding. This new role will sit within the conservation team to coordinate the delivery and oversight of Rufford Small Grants.

Rufford Small Grants are renowned for being an important milestone in the careers of conservationists and researchers who may have limited experience in designing and delivering projects. We are very aware that unforeseen issues may arise and are considerate towards requests for project changes. The Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Officer will review all project updates and reports to track project changes and to monitor project delivery against proposed plans.

The Rufford Foundation is involved with other conservation donors and practitioners looking at the evidence of conservation effectiveness and supporting learning from success and failure. We fully understand that conservation projects may not succeed as planned and that evaluating small grant project impacts over short timescales (1-3 years) is problematic. The MEL Officer will take this into account when reviewing project progress and evaluation reports.

The ideal candidate will bring previous experience of reviewing (or drafting) donor reports, have excellent analytical and communications skills and be able to demonstrate a strong understanding of biodiversity conservation, ideally with some practical knowledge of conservation in countries where the foundation funds projects. Experience of coordinating work with grantees, including review of workplans, deliverables and budgets, would be highly desirable.

We are keen for the MEL Officer to use their expertise to design a MEL framework to help our grantees with their project proposals, and The Rufford Foundation to evaluate the impact of work across the Rufford Small Grant and Organisational Grant portfolios. The MEL Officer may also support grantees with their own project evaluations.

Leukaemia UK – Our Charity

Leukaemia UK is growing! We are expanding our team to achieve a step-change in income, profile and impact in 2025 and beyond.

We are a ‘small but mighty’ charity with one big ambition: to stop leukaemia devastating lives. Over the next 10 years we want to help save and improve the lives of more people with leukaemia through finding and funding life-changing research.

Despite progress in recent decades, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a blood cancer every 16 minutes and survival rates are among some of the worst of any cancer.  And the physical and psychological impact can be lifelong. 

Our current strategy outlines our plan to increase our investment into ground-breaking world class research and policy development focused on improving access to kinder, more effective diagnosis, treatment and care for leukaemia and other blood cancers. To do this, we are embarking on a period of significant growth, investing strategically to grow our income, profile, influence, and engagement and impact.

From us you can expect fun and creativity, as well as great challenge and support. We may not be about the corporate life here, but we are all about delivering exceptional expertise and making a real change to people’s lives.

Leukaemia UK and You 

Working across the Philanthropy team, you will play a key role in our exciting ambitions to raise more funds through meaningful partnerships with Trust and Foundations, and the pharmaceutical sector.

This is a great role for someone looking to have real development and learning opportunities in an exciting and fast-paced environment. You will be working with an experienced philanthropy team at a time of significant growth.

Gatsby Charitable Foundation is one of the 16 Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts (SFCT) established by individual members of the Sainsbury family.

Gatsby established a small team focused on education policy in England almost 40 years ago. While priorities have changed and evolved, our approach has been consistent: we aim to be more than a funder. We act as an enabler for projects, working with partners in designing, developing, and, in some cases, delivering activities. We take a long-term view as we do not think much can be achieved by short, one-off projects.

About the role

You will have a broad remit to support the implementation of programmes across the team, in particular, programmes to support teachers and providers with technical education reforms. Key success measures for this work will include widespread, sustained engagement in programmes that are well-organised and coordinated.

• Manage and upload content to the Technical Education Networks’ website
• Coordinate the development and publication processes for all outputs of the programme, including the teaching materials.
• Provide administrative and budget support for grants and contracts allocated to stakeholders, supporting financial overview of allocations.
• Liaise with Gatsby’s communications team and external stakeholders to ensure successful communication, dissemination and uptake of the programme outputs.
• Maintain effective communication with key stakeholders to ensure long-term impact and engagement with the programme.
• Ensure information regarding the programme on the Gatsby and partner websites is coherent and up to date.
• Any other duties to support the Education Team in delivering programme objectives when required.

Who are we looking for?

First and foremost, we are looking for someone with a strong interest in our areas of work, especially supporting improvement for technical education.

The specific experience criteria that we are looking for in the successful candidate include:

• Managed projects to achieve successful outcomes, including budget responsibility.
• Managed external contracts or grants to deliver agreed objectives on time and within budget.
• Organised successful complex meetings and events.
• Have been personally responsible for implementing new processes or ideas.
• Have worked independently and within a team, contributing to the success of others as well as self.
• Written well-received documents (such as minutes, briefings, reports, articles).
• A strong interest in education is essential. Current knowledge of the technical education system and further education is desirable.

Please note that you must also have the existing right to work in the UK in order to be considered for this role.
