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.
Principal Responsibilities

- Draft brief summaries of the results of each project, highlighting project changes and outcomes, sharing these with colleagues in writing and at team meetings.

- Make recommendations for Rufford staff to follow-up with grantees about further Rufford Small Grant funding.
- Work with colleagues to develop reporting guidelines and update our reporting templates.
- Support grantees with understanding and meeting Rufford reporting requirements – this might be done through online or in-person meetings with individuals or groups.
- Maintain accurate and up-to-date records of grant-related activities specifically related to the review of Rufford Small Grant project reports.
- Using background material drafted as part of a recent consultancy, to develop high-level indicators for conservation and capacity building, lead in formalising an evaluation framework for The Rufford Foundation across all grant-making.
- Develop a systematic process to monitor the careers of previous grantees to measure the impact of our funding.
- Produce graphs, tables and short reports on Rufford Small Grants on a regular basis.
General
- Support with monitoring and evaluation of Organisational Grants including review of annual reports and gauging progress against annual plans.
- Cultivate strong relationships with colleagues, grantees and external contacts.
- Explore opportunities for grantees to draft pieces to promote their work through Rufford communications channels.
- Provide administrative support on grant-making processes as required.

We want people to be in control of their end-of-life decisions because there is no-one better to make them. We support people to make informed choices, start honest conversations about death and dying with loved ones, and record and revisit their wishes whenever they want to.
Our nurse-led information line is a unique service, which helps to ensure people’s wishes are known and respected at the end of their lives. We do this through advance care planning and by helping people to make decisions about treatment and navigate the healthcare system. The service sits at the heart of the organisation. We listen to what people tell us and amplify their voices to drive changes to policy and healthcare practice. In 2023 we supported over 4,000 people and call volumes are increasing.
We are delighted to be expanding our clinical team and are looking for two dedicated and motivated nurses who can provide accurate, clear and practical verbal and written information and support.
The successful candidate will have relevant clinical knowledge and experience alongside excellent communication skills, enabling them to convey complex information in a straightforward and sensitive way by phone and email. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the expansion of a growing information service which not only delivers direct support to people, but also drives improvements in practice. This is a new permanent position, with potential to develop within the role.
We are looking for two part-time nurses, three days per week, however our priority is finding the right people or person and therefore we would also consider one full-time position, or part time positions for a different number of days. Please state in your application how many days per week you wish to work.
We believe a good life should include a good death. Having the care and treatments you want, and not the ones you don’t.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
