Charity overview

The Human Milk Foundation (HMF) is a charity based at the Gossoms End NHS Health Centre in Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire. Our goal is to support more families to feed their babies with human milk, through education, research and the supply of donor human milk.

We operate the UK’s first independent, non-profit human milk bank - the Hearts Milk Bank, providing donor human milk to neonatal intensive care units across London, the southeast, south Wales, Northumbria and East Anglia.

Much like donated human blood, there are situations where donated human milk can be lifesaving. Premature babies are very vulnerable and at risk of infections and life-threatening conditions such as necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), which causes some or all of the bowel to die. Mothers who have given birth early are sometimes unable to produce enough of their own milk straight away and can be very unwell themselves, so donor milk is often vital in protecting the baby during the first days and weeks after birth; it allows the mother the time and support to establish her own milk supply.

The HMB team recruit milk donors who undergo blood tests and complete a detailed lifestyle and health questionnaire before donating milk. Donor milk is collected from donors by volunteer SERV (“blood-biker”) volunteers and delivered to the milk bank where it is heat-treated (pasteurised) to destroy potentially harmful bacteria and viruses, checked by microbiologists to make sure that there is no unacceptable bacterial contamination and stored frozen. The milk is collected and delivered to hospitals and to mothers in the community who cannot breastfeed such as those with cancer, HIV or lack of breast tissue.

The HMB has recruited over 4,000 milk donors and supplied donor milk to feed thousands of babies, cared for in over 50 neonatal units. We have also supported more than 700 families in the community, including mothers who are establishing their own milk supply and mothers with cancer.

The Human Milk Foundation has a small team of dedicated individuals with a broad set of skills across medicine, lactation support, milk banking, research, and communications. We all have a great passion to make change to improve the health of babies, giving parents and families the support they need to be able to feed their babies, and new members of the team should share that passion.

The HMF is committed to promoting equal opportunities in employment. You and any job applicants will receive equal treatment regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation (Protected Characteristics).

Prospectus is delighted to support a UK charity supporting people in hospitals and care in their search for a Finance Assistant (PT). This is a part-time post (12-15 hours), on a 6-month contract and remote working basis.

Reporting to the Interim Finance Manager, the Finance Assistant (PT) will take on core finance tasks and processes, as well as participate in the development of new procedures where appropriate. The postholder will collaborate with the Finance Assistant on purchase ledger processes, including invoice approval by budget holders, posting to Sage and BACS payments, and with the Fundraising & Comms Assistant on posting and reconciliation of d onations and subscription income. The Finance Assistant (PT) will also deal with staff expenses, credit card administration and provide support with month-end.

To be successful, you will have knowledge and experience of financial and accounting principles, preferably from a small/medium sized organisation. You will be comfortable with computerised accounting systems, such as Sage 50 accounts, Xero, QuickBooks or similar. You will be confident with Excel and able to extract transactional information from database systems. You will be enthusiastic and proactive, open to new ways of working and offer flexibility in an evolving environment. Charity knowledge or experience would be preferable, but not a necessity.  You will identify with Music in Hospitals and Care's public benefit aims & core values.

Just Treatment is excited to be hiring a Youth Mental Health Organiser to work alongside our Senior Youth Mental Health Organiser and young people directly affected by the youth mental health crisis. This role focuses on supporting young people to lead powerful campaigns that hold the corporations driving and profiting from the youth mental health crisis to account.

If you’re passionate about empowering communities and creating systemic change, we’d love to hear from you!

Just Treatment is a growing patient-led campaign fighting to ensure everyone gets the healthcare they need by demanding that the government acts to put patients before corporate profits. We believe the only way we can achieve these changes is by building a movement of those directly affected by the problem to challenge the power of the pharmaceutical and health industries. We have a track record of high impact campaigns that have changed the lives of the people we work with, and thousands of NHS patients, by forcing corporations and politicians to move.

Our approach is centred on deep organising with a cohort of patient leaders who have been directly impacted by the health injustices on which we campaign. This group steer and lead our campaigns, but are supported by a much larger group of volunteers and supporters. This role will be focused on our campaign strand around the crisis in young people’s mental health, focused on the role that late-stage capitalism is having on both the drivers of poor mental health, mental illness, and madness, and the ineffective responses to this crisis.

The role has two distinct parts: providing administrative support that facilitates the work of the Senior Youth Mental Health Organiser; and identifying and developing the leadership of young people directly affected by these health injustices and their families, building trusting relationships that ensure they are able to shape the strategy and lead the campaigns that win tangible improvements in the mental health and wellbeing of the people we are campaigning with and for.

You will work with key external allies to coordinate and multiply our campaigns, and ensure there are meaningful actions volunteers and supporters can do to further our campaign goals . You’ll love working as part of a collaborative, small team and you’ll thrive on building trusting relationships with the people you work with. And you’ll be committed to taking on David Vs Goliath fights for justice.

Develop new projects and services

To succeed in this role, you will need to have or build a deep understanding of Surrey’s voluntary sector and communities.  You may design and conduct consultations and market research to deepen your knowledge and share it with peers and other stakeholders in ways tailored to our audiences.

The environment in Surrey is complex and changeable, so we are looking for someone who can flex themselves and this role so that Surrey Community Action can do better every day, who can recognise ways we can improve and provide even better support to our stakeholders, from local authorities, to charities and community groups, to individuals in need.

About You

We are looking for someone with passion, drive, and an ambition to improve the lives of all people and communities in Surrey either directly or by ensuring Surrey’s voluntary sector survives and thrives.

We want Surrey Community Action to reflect the diversity of the individuals, communities, and voluntary sector we serve so encourage applications from anyone who believes they can carry out the job description.

There are some things that will make you stand out, but even if you do not match all the criteria below, we still want to hear about you and what you can offer:

• Ideally, you will have demonstrable success of fundraising in the charity sector, particularly from grants making trusts, and you would have experience of working and negotiating with Local Authorities.
• You will be a strong line manager with experience of mentoring and developing staff.
• You will have solid IT skills including Office applications and databases.

• You might not have a background in the voluntary sector but will be willing to learn.
• You should have good financial literacy, including setting budgets and core cost recovery
• Above all, we are looking for someone with the potential to help make Surrey Community Action a stronger organisation able to make an even bigger difference to those we support.

You may have to travel across Surrey and sometimes beyond, so access to transport would be an advantage where public transport is not an option (we can support you into Access to Work scheme as needed).
