Job Description

In the autumn of 2020, the Dunhill Medical Trust launched its new strategic framework: "Investing for Impact".  It was back in the 1980s that our founder's niece recognised that the shifting demographics would drive a need for investment in a high-quality research base to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of ageing and the delivery of innovation in the health and social care of older people.  Our charitable objects were never more relevant than they are today as we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, and the opportunities are immense to support our academic and clinical researcher community to make real systemic change. 

We now have a full time, permanent vacancy for an enthusiastic research management professional to help us to shape and deliver our new strategic plan. As one of two Grants Managers reporting to the Head of Research Policy and Awards, you will be a primary point of contact for organisations applying for funding for academic and clinical research, as well as playing a key role in developing, implementing and evaluating our new funding streams.  As such, you will make key contributions to the development and delivery of the Trust’s core services, reinforcing its reputation for high quality and its support for the research community.  If you have substantial relevant experience, a degree in a subject related to our work, attention to detail and the flexible “can do” attitude and restless curiosity essential to the success of a small, expert team, go to our website to download the full job description and person specification and find out how to apply.

Closing date:  2 August, 2021 at noon

Interviews will be held during the week commencing 23 August, 2021
