Foundations strives to be a great place to work, where everyone is high performing and where together we achieve impact that makes a real difference for vulnerable children and families. We focus on using and championing high-quality evidence, working directly with government and local leaders to provide practical solutions and encourage change. We’re an organisation with ambitious aims and our people are essential to our success.
The Programmes Team at Foundations plays a key role in the generation of actionable evidence in early intervention and children’s social care. We strive to raise the standards and volume of good quality research in the sector by identifying promising interventions and building up and strengthening the sector’s capacity to take part in, learn from and use high quality evidence.
We use programme funding as a mechanism to support the generation of new evidence where there are gaps, and as a lever by which to influence the standards of research in the wider sector. As a What Works Centre, we fund the delivery of a programme in order to commission an independent evaluation to determine the impact of these interventions on outcomes of interest.
The Programmes Team is responsible for ensuring grant funding and commissioning are done to the highest standards across the organisation and the team also oversees a varied portfolio of delivery grants.
Our Programme Managers span many areas of expertise. We're therefore looking for an individual to join our team, with strong experience in one or more of the following areas:
· Project management and/or programme management
· Grant making or commissioning
· Grant management.
We are particularly keen to see applicants with the above experience who have worked in the early intervention and children's social care sector and/or research sector. We also welcome applications from individuals who have lived experience of children's social care, or who have worked directly in practice.
We value and celebrate diversity and are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all our employees. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe it’s vital that our workforce reflects the diversity of our stakeholders, and the wider society in the UK, and we actively seek candidates from diverse backgrounds and communities.
We offer excellent salaries, learning and development opportunities, and a great office location situated in the heart of St James’s. We work in a hybrid and flexible way at Foundations that recognises the importance of a good work-life balance.
