We’re looking for a highly organised, strategic thinker with an eye and appetite for improvement to help us deliver our mission to support participation and improvement in higher education through grant funding and research.

We’ve recently completed a major strategic review and will soon publish a new Strategic Plan that sets out an ambitious direction for the years ahead. To bring that plan to life we are looking for a Head of Grants and Operations who will work with our CEO to build the systems, culture and organisational confidence we need to deliver.

As one of six staff – and the Chief Executive’s closest operational partner – you’ll play a central role in designing how the organisation works day to day and how it grows over time. You’ll lead on governance, risk, HR, finance oversight, and operational systems including overseeing the administration of our grants schemes.

If you have senior operational leadership experience, ideally from a mission-driven organisation or charity, the ability to lead organisational change with empathy and clarity and you share our passion for improving equity and success in higher education, then we’d love to hear from you.

Join our team as a Book-keeper and Finance Administrator. We’re seeking a dedicated professional to enhance efficiency, improve processes, and provide immediate access to financial information.

The Book-keeper and Finance Administrator is a key team member who will have the opportunity to become involved in all aspects of the charity. Although your key focus will be finance, we seek someone with strong administration and organisational skills.

The job description indicates the skills and experience that will allow an individual to approach this role confidently. Not all suitable applicants may have all of these skills and knowledge. We would still like to hear from you if you can demonstrate abilities that will enable you to succeed in the role.

Cystinosis Foundation UK is looking for a dedicated Volunteer Treasurer to join our friendly trustee board and help strengthen the financial foundations of our work. If you have a head for numbers and are keen to make a difference, this is a fantastic opportunity to support a community that relies on compassion, clarity, and strong governance.

As Treasurer, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our finances are well managed and transparent. You don’t need to be a qualified accountant — though financial experience is helpful — just someone organised, reliable, and comfortable with basic financial processes. Full support and a warm welcome from the trustee team are guaranteed.

Why This Matters

Cystinosis is a rare, lifelong condition. Our charity supports families, funds research, and raises awareness — but we can only do that with strong, responsible financial stewardship. By volunteering a few hours each month, you’ll help us continue providing vital support to those who need it most.

Who We’re Looking For

You might be a finance professional wanting to give back, someone with bookkeeping experience, or simply a detail‑oriented person keen to support a cause that changes lives. If you’re passionate about helping a small charity thrive, we’d love to hear from you.
