About Future Pathways

Future Pathways offers support to people who were
abused or neglected as a child when they were in the
Scottish care system. The service was established
alongside the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry and has
expanded considerably since its start in 2016. Future
Pathways’ aim is to help people live well. To change
paths, enjoy life, succeed and grow.

Working closely with our Commissioner, the Scottish
Government and more than 40 delivery partners,
Future Pathways has pioneered a unique model of
support that is transformative.

Our partnership approach is rooted in understanding
that the impact of childhood trauma is individual and
lifelong. We recognise that the experience of abuse in
care often means people may face significant barriers
to accessing much needed help.

As importantly, everyone we support will have different
needs and have insight about what will work best for them.
We provide a safe and trusted space for people to explore
what is most important to them and to access tailored help
toward their goals.

More than 2,800 people have registered. We have grown as
more people seek support. Future Pathways hosts 6 support
coordination teams and 60 full-time equivalent staff.

The Wellcome Trust is a global charitable foundation. We improve health for everyone by funding science, leading policy and advocacy campaigns, and building partnerships.

We plan to spend £16bn over the next ten years, funding new discoveries in life, health, and wellbeing, and taking on three global health challenges: mental health, infectious disease and climate and health.

These challenges need the bold science we support, but they won’t be solved by science alone.

Wellcome’s Infectious Disease team is dedicated to tackling some of the world’s most pressing health challenges. Infectious diseases cause millions of deaths annually, disproportionately affecting the poorest communities. Our mission is to accelerate the discovery, development and optimisation of interventions that prevent and control these diseases. We focus on two critical threats: drug-resistant infections and diseases impacted by environmental change, such as arboviruses and waterborne illnesses. Through partnerships, advocacy and evidence-based action, we aim to ensure that research translates into equitable, accessible solutions for those who need them most.

We are looking for a Senior Research Manager, Vaccines to join our team.

Where in Wellcome will I be working?  

The Vaccines team support research to develop new and improved vaccines and develop evidence-based strategies to optimise their use across a range of priority pathogens. We work both directly with researchers and through strategic partnerships to identify opportunities that further Wellcome’s mission.

Wellcome’s Infectious disease team supports science to bring innovative solutions to combat infectious disease in the most affected communities. Vaccines are one of the most effective interventions for reducing morbidity and mortality associated with infectious diseases. Within the vaccines team, we aim to accelerate the development and optimal use of vaccines to reduce the burden of infectious diseases, especially in low and middle income countries.

Vaccines are central to our vision of preventing the impact of infectious diseases. The Vaccines team works to enable the development of new and improved vaccines and promote their effective use worldwide. We champion innovation across the vaccine ecosystem, addressing systemic barriers such as market failures, regulatory challenges and manufacturing constraints. Our efforts include co-founding global initiatives like CEPI and supporting ambitious goals such as developing new vaccines to combat Tuberculosis. By fostering collaboration between academia, industry and policymakers, we aim to build a fairer, more sustainable system that delivers life-saving vaccines to underserved populations.

At Wellcome, we are committed to rewriting the rules of the vaccine ecosystem so that innovation benefits everyone, everywhere. By investing in research, shaping policy and forging partnerships, we strive to create a future where vaccines are developed faster, distributed fairly and used effectively to prevent outbreaks before they spiral out of control.

What will I be doing?  

In this role, you’ll help shape global health by driving fair, high‑quality funding decisions and leading strategic projects within our Vaccines programme. You’ll use your scientific expertise to assess applications, design and deliver impactful initiatives, and build strong partnerships across disciplines. Working collaboratively, you’ll champion inclusive research culture and ensure our funding portfolio advances innovative solutions for communities most affected by infectious disease.

As a Senior Research Manager, Vaccines, you will:

• Deliver funding decisions with rigour and fairness – provide expert scientific assessment of applications, participate in reviews, and make clear recommendations aligned with Wellcome’s strategy.

• Shape and advance strategic programmes – apply deep knowledge of your field and the wider research landscape to develop new activities, share expertise, and ensure robust decision-making processes.

About GiveDirectly

GiveDirectly (GD) aims to reshape international giving – and millions of lives – by providing cash grants directly to the world’s poorest. The Brookings Institution estimates that $70B of cash transfers would be required to eliminate the poverty gap; the aid sector currently spends $135B each year, much of it on evidence-free interventions. GiveDirectly wants to change that, establishing cash transfers as a benchmark for foreign aid – as the index fund is a benchmark for the financial industry – and in the process accelerating the end of extreme poverty.

GD has raised over $1B since launching in 2011, delivered cash to more than 1.5 million people in 15 different countries. We’ve also supported large-scale, experimental research that indicates strong recipient impact of our programs. As a result, GD has been celebrated as one of the most innovative non-profit companies by Fast Company, while the growing cash transfer movement (and GD’s leading role within it) have been featured in the New York Times Magazine, This American Life, Foreign Affairs, and The Economist.

Our culture is candid, analytical, agile, and non-hierarchical. Our global team of ~150, and country operations teams of ~650, together come from 21 different countries speaking 69 different languages. From software engineers to seasoned humanitarian workers, former management consultants to public servants, researchers to field operations -- it’s an incredible group of people.

Our values are central and deliberately opinionated. We genuinely center the people we serve in our decision making, and strive to build an ambitious, dynamic and high performing environment. We strongly encourage you to read through our values carefully, if they reflect how you like to work and energize you, this could be a great fit.

We work hard to create an environment in which all our team members can thrive, succeed and grow. We support flexibility, take care of each other, have fun, and create professional growth opportunities.
