The Tudor Trust is a philanthropic foundation with a long-standing commitment to funding smaller organisations across the UK. Holding an endowment of around £250m, our annual commitment to grants historically has averaged £20m.

Following a transition from a family foundation to one that is independently led by a new board of trustees, we are bridging to a strategy with greater emphasis on racial justice. Our definition of racial justice is a vision for a world that moves beyond racism and racial inequities to one where inclusive communities thrive in all our systems and structures.  We believe this is the foundation for tackling all forms of injustice, including economic, environmental and social.

As we continue our transformative journey and the process of making new grants, we are excited to appoint our first Head of Programmes to join the Tudor Trust. This appointment will complete the rebuild of a new Senior Leadership Team (SLT)

About the role 

The Head of Programmes is a new and pivotal role in leading our grant making strategy, taking an iterative approach that is informed by our learning and commitment to systems thinking.

This role requires a facilitative leader who understands the importance of bringing out the best in your team, which is currently made up of four people and is likely to grow further. You will guide the programme team as they go deeper into developing strategic and equitable funding practices that empower communities and drive systemic change. The Head of Programmes will also act as a bridge between internal teams and external partners, understanding ways in which we can maximise on our collective knowledge to build more power-sensitive relationships between funders and grantee partners. Your leadership will help create a culture of curiosity, learning, and inclusivity, ensuring the Trust remains agile and reflective in response to the evolving needs of communities we serve. 

As a member of the SLT, you will contribute to the strategic direction of the Trust, ensuring alignment between our funding practices, the change we seek, and organisational goals.  You will work closely with and in collaboration with the Head of Finance & Resources and Head of People & Culture with a shared responsibility for delivering projects and embedding a coaching approach to how we empower all our staff.  You will also work closely with the CEO and the Board to ensure that the grant-making aligns with the wider work, particularly as it relates to our investments.

We very much encourage you to read our recruitment pack and consider this newly designed role. We are genuinely open minded about the right candidate. In all our roles we have encouraged applications from people who are ready for a stretch, and we are committed to personal and professional development to ensure that everyone at Tudor is well supported.
