In recent years, there has been ever increasing interest in lifestyle and MS, and the body of research is systematically increasing.

In the medium to longer term, we would like to identity research gaps and have a role in influencing, or even commissioning, lifestyle research to add to the current research base.

Key Responsibilities:

• To oversee the Overcoming MS Program recommendations, ensuring our advice always adheres to the latest and most robust evidence.

• To identify gaps in the existing Program based on new research (eg sleep, intermittent fasting etc), reviewing the evidence base and making recommendations on adaptations and support tools (subject to IP owner approval).
• To foster solid relationships with key stakeholders (including Facilitators and expert advisors) to ensure buy in and understanding in any updates or changes to research evidence and the Program.
• To create a research strategy, to maximise Overcoming MS’s credibility and reputation within MS lifestyle research.
• To support the communication of new studies published in reputable journals, enabling Overcoming MS to quickly understand the relevance to our community and the Program, formulating an action plan and supporting a public response where relevant.
• To support Overcoming MS’s public profile, giving credibility and expertise in the research behind the Program, including presenting at conferences, submitting articles and posters for publication, etc.
• To support the collation of impact evidence to demonstrate the value of Overcoming MS to individuals and as part of funding applications.
• To create a network of external research advisors, possibly creating a Research Advisory Group, to ensure oversight of upcoming research as well as diversity of opinion on research outcomes and their impact.
• To identify potential partners to collaborate with on research projects that corroborate the existing Program, fill research gaps, or build additional independent evidence around healthy lifestyle and MS.
• To manage the research section of the website.
• Longer term, to create a position for Overcoming MS in identifying research gaps, influencing new research, the role of the Overcoming MS community in research projects, and (subject to funding) commissioning research.

Overview:

Jacari is at a key stage of its growth and is looking for a fundraiser who can help us find new sources of income and funding opportunities, reducing our reliance on trust and foundation grants. We particularly want someone who can help us to identify new major donor prospects and grow our income from regular and individual giving. We have a strong supporter-base of former volunteers and members, who were involved as far back as the 1950s. 

The role will also involve identifying and building relationships with trusts and foundations to support our work, writing funding proposals and applications, and reporting to funders on the impact of their support. 

This is a busy and varied role which often involves working on multiple fundraising activities at once. A typical day could include working on an application to a new funder, designing a supporter newsletter, gathering information for an end of grant report, and researching new prospects. 

This job is for you if you have:

• A track record of securing income through diverse fundraising streams, such as grants, corporate partnerships, or individual giving.

• Strong relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage and communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, including prospective donors - trusts, corporates and individuals.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to craft compelling proposals and make persuasive cases for support.
