About Kidney Research UK:

Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.

At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.

Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

Our Migration Fund was established in 2015 and has since awarded over £30 million and supported 160+ organisations. We currently grant c. £5 million per year to organisations working towards ‘a world in which everyone is free to move, and no one is forced to move’.

In close collaboration with migrants and those working towards migrant justice, our team has recently reviewed our priorities and criteria, which includes an updated analysis of how positive change might happen, our role in facilitating that change, and the types of work we are keen to support across the UK. This current iteration of the fund was launched in April 2024.

You can find out more about this process and the changes we have implemented on:

· Our new shared vision, criteria and processes

· Why we are working towards a world where everyone is free to move, and no one is forced to move

· From ‘shared ground’ to liberation – our journey supporting migrant justice

We have since introduced a Steering Group, made up of six external individuals with complementary skills, knowledge and experience who help our team review and shortlist applications to be considered by our decision-making panel, a mix of independent advisors and PHF trustees. This group also supports our overall work, ensuring our funding strategy responds to the opportunities and needs emerging in the field, helping us identify gaps in our portfolio, and expanding our networks.

In addition to our grant-making, the Migration team supports a range of learning exchanges and events to strengthen relationship building and collaboration within the movement. This includes financial and strategic support to emerging collaborations, exploratory and thematic events in the UK and beyond. Every year, we host the Migration Residential, a 2.5-day retreat to support our partners and the wider field to recharge, connect and strategize together.

What will be my main contribution?

As a Grants Manager, you will act as the primary point of contact between applicant organisations and Paul Hamlyn Foundation, undertaking enquiry calls to learn about their work, assess their alignment with our strategic priorities, advise them on the application process, and providing tailored feedback, where needed. You will also review applications alongside the Migration Steering Group and make funding recommendations to our decision-making panel. You will work closely with a portfolio of funded organisations in our migration theme, primarily the Migration Fund. There is a current portfolio of c. 50 live grants that you will manage and be the key point of contact for. You will build strong relationships with funded organisations, responding to emerging needs, providing advice where relevant, and supporting them to achieve their learning and impact goals.

Who will I report to?

You will be supported by and report to the Head of Programme – Migration.

Who will I line manage?

You will not have line management responsibilities. However, you will be expected to work in a small and fully interconnected structure that relies on collaboration, flexibility, and the ability to operate within both formal and informal reporting relationships.

What other key internal relationships will I have?

You will work closely with colleagues in the Grants and Strategic Learning, Insight and Influence teams to share intelligence, develop an understanding of the impact that our funding and support are having, and highlight and celebrate best practice more widely to help drive the change we would like to see. You will also work closely with colleagues in the Finance and Resources team to ensure good and effective grant management.

What level of budget responsibility will I have?

· Support the Head of Programme to continuously review and improve our grant-making processes to ensure that they are accessible and do not perpetuate existing structural inequalities.

· Maintain our grants database (Blackbaud Grantmaking), ensuring that records are accurate, reporting and payments are completed so that we know the status of applications and awarded grants at any time, and so we can better analyse and learn from our portfolio.

· Carry out visits to funded organisations to learn more about how the work is going, their context and help identify gap areas across our portfolio. Visits may be virtual or in person, with some local or national travel across the UK, where needed.
