Welcome to Maudsley Charity

Hello!

I’m really pleased you’re exploring working with us at Maudsley Charity at this exciting and transformative moment in our journey.

We are a grant-making charity with a proud history and a bold vision: to ensure that everyone who experiences mental illness, without exception, can access the care that’s right for them. We fund projects that improves the lives of people living with mental illness and, right now, we’re needed more than ever. 

Our endowment makes us the largest independent NHS mental health charity and allows us to deliver positive change in four inner London boroughs (Croydon, Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark). While we are grounded in and motivated by creating benefit for our local community, we also aim to make change in the rest of the UK by sharing what works here. 

About the Finance and Operations Team

Since I began working at the Charity seven years ago, we have gone through significant change. We are now at an important stage in delivering our strategic plan and have an exciting period of growth and development ahead.

Our finance and operations function plays a vital role in ensuring the Charity can deliver on its ambitions, working closely with colleagues across the organisation, as well as with external partners, to deliver our objectives. 

We are responsible for managing our resources effectively, maintaining strong financial controls, and providing high-quality financial insight to support decision making across the organisation. We are committed to continuous improvement in our systems and processes, ensuring they are robust, efficient, and responsive to a growing and evolving organisation.

We have made a funding commitment of £44m that will be spent on projects relating to mental illness over five years; this funding comes from our endowment
