Programme Manager Jobs in Home Based

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 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.
