Armed Forces Lead
The Shed movement is growing and this is an exciting time to join UKMSA as we work to support and promote Sheds for the improvement of health and wellbeing, adding years to life and life to years.
Funded by support from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust’s Embedding Prevention Veterans Suicide (EPVS) programme we - seek a full time Armed Forces Lead to support the creation of new Men’s Sheds nationally, focussed particularly on those soon to leave the Armed Forces, reservists and veterans.
We already have many veterans who are Shedders (people who participate at Men’s Sheds nationwide) and have shared their stories of how much Sheds mean to them and how they have changed their lives for the better. There are several areas across the UK where the concentration of Sheds is relatively low. We are now seeking a rapid growth in the number of Sheds in these areas, targeted at this group, which will have a significant and direct impact on reducing suicide, loneliness and improving wellbeing.
This pilot project will run for 2 years, in which time we expect this role to work with those communities affected to develop a national Armed Forces and Veteran’s Sheds Strategy (including a Veteran's Accreditation Scheme for existing Sheds).
This is an exciting pilot for UKMSA. It will be supported not only by our own organisation, but also by our strong partnerships, including the Royal British Legion (RBL).
Men’s Sheds create community connection, increased social contact, the sharing of skills and a continuation of the camaraderie experienced in the Armed Forces. This role will see you primarily engaging with communities to help others develop new Sheds in a way we know to be effective.
This is a home-based role with frequent travel across the area, with occasional overnight stays and some national meetings. It will require a successful DBS check.
Please apply as soon as possible as we will be arranging to meet potential candidates at the earliest opportunity.
We are the support body for Men’s Sheds across the UK. We work hard to inspire and support the development of Men's Sheds.

Introduction
Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis (CF). We fund vital research, improve care, speak out and race towards effective treatments for all. We won’t stop until everyone with cystic fibrosis can live without limits. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK.
In recent years, improvements in the treatments for CF have transformed the symptoms and quality of life experienced by many, but not all of the community. The enormous leap forward that has been made is both wonderful and challenging and brings new support needs.
With better health, more people with CF now want to plan careers, but need to balance this with management of their condition. Others still need support with barriers to work or help to navigate their rights at work when they need to focus on their health. This led us to create Work Forwards, a dedicated programme of career, work and employment support for the CF community.
Background about the Work Forwards Programme
Building on the foundations of our existing financial and welfare support, our Work Forwards employment programme aims to give people with CF the confidence and skills to move towards secure, fulfilling employment which fits around their health needs.
Having secured three-year funding from the National Lottery Community Fund in autumn 2022, since then the programme has been helping people affected by CF with work, employment and careers. The project’s ultimate aim is to ensure they have the finances and resources to stay as well as possible and live a long, fulfilling life.
The project employs two staff and sits within our wider support service team lead by the Head of Support and Programmes. There are a number of key deliverables for the project including one-to-one support and guidance, online sessions, information resources, and a case study library. Outcome measures are focused on improing skills and confidence and ensuring people affected by CF can navigate barriers to work and employment.
Project Brief
We are now looking to evaluate the programme and seeking a freelance/consultant with expertise in evaluating programmes.
Working closely with Cystic Fibrosis Trust throughout, the consultant will design, implement and deliver an evaluation to enable us to monitor and assess to what extent the project is achieving the programme aims and make recommendations for future delivery.
The overall aim of this work is to compile and provide us with a comprehensive, well-presented, and easy-to-read independent report to demonstrate to what extent we have met the outcomes intended throughout this project, as described in the funding proposal.
The deadline for when we need this report completed is July 2025 and which we can then submit to the National Lottery Community Fund and use this to inform the development of future funding bids.
Key Deliverables
· Quickly develop a deep understanding of our project and anticipated project outcomes.
· Work with us to quickly develop the ways in which we will evaluate how we have achieved the project outcomes, through qualitative and quantitative data collection.
· Take lead responsibility for ensuring all research data and information is collected as required, to inform the development of a comprehensive report.
· Liaise with us throughout the process to ensure the report is developed to the standard we expect.
· By July 2025, provide us with an excellent final report which tells the story of the delivery of our project, the challenges, learnings and how we have met the project outcomes.
· Suggest a suitable methodology, within timeframe and budget, but we would expect it to include;
- - Interviews with beneficiaries who have been involved in the programme.
- - A review of key documents and resources produced through the programme.
- - Interviews/focus groups with people affected by CF to identify any future needs around work and employment not covered by the programme.
- - Review and compilation of all impact and evaluation data collected through the programme.
- - Review of the successes and challenges of the programme so far, to support us to learn from these and to suggest where they may be gaps in delivery/further opportunities to help us shape our possible future work in this area.
Indicative Budget
There is budget available to deliver this project and this is up to a maximum of £6,000. This must cover all costs to complete this work, including consultant fees, and any materials and resources needed to undertake the research and data-gathering element of the project.
It is accepted that it may be the responsibility of some other providers (including ourselves) to collect and provide some of the data required.
Role Requirements
The successful person will:
· Be a suitably experienced project consultant, researcher and report-writer.
· Have knowledge of delivery of funded programmes within a charity, particularly those funded by NLCF.
· Ideally understand work and employment programmes in a charity environment.

About the organization
Business & Human Rights Resource Centre works with diverse allies and partners to put human rights at the core of companies’ business models and end abuse; to support communities and workers in securing their rights and accountability for corporate abuse; and to encourage governments to create the right regulation and incentives to uphold human rights in business. We are a global organization rooted in five continental regions, comprised of a Global Team of 80. Global Team members work with a rich network of human rights advocates in ten languages, and place strong emphasis on our alliances with grassroots organisations facing often profound inequalities of power in protecting their rights.

Introduction to the role
“Working at Full Fact is such a joy - the fundraising team are supportive, ambitious and positive.”
We are in danger of entering an era in which none of us believe anything we read, see or hear. Misinformation and disinformation have been identified by the World Economic Forum as the greatest global risk we face over the next two years. Bad information promotes hate, damages health, and hurts democracy.
Full Fact is an independent, impartial charity that fights for a world where we can trust the information that shapes our lives. Every day, we fact check harmful claims from politicians, the mainstream press, or on social media. We have created world-class AI tools to help us do this, which we license to fact checkers in 26 countries, including some of the most difficult places in the world for fact checking. We are a national and global player, using what we learn to push for policy change in Westminster and in Silicon Valley.
We are looking for a dynamic, cause-driven Trusts and Foundations fundraising leader to join us in the fight against bad information.
This role will lead our Trusts and Foundations programme, working from an existing £1m+ pipeline of major UK and international funders, as well as identifying and approaching potential new supporters. You will be creative and innovative in seeking out new opportunities, as we are looking to expand our fundraising into new areas of fact checking, such as climate misinformation and support for US fact-checkers. You will thrive on working with a range of colleagues and senior stakeholders to pull together information and develop compelling proposals for complex issues and projects.
Reporting into the Head of Development and line managing a Trusts Manager, you’ll be part of a successful and supportive team, with a commitment to recognising and developing people’s talent.
You will play a crucial role in holding our political leaders to account, countering the spread of dangerous misinformation online, and fuelling the development of AI tools for social good around the world.
If you are interested in applying but not sure you have all the skills, please do apply. We are open both to supporting learning on the job and to rearranging tasks within the team to suit the skillsets of the best applicant

We are currently looking for a Legal and Policy Adviser to join our growing team to drive forward our strategic legal and policy advocacy. This is an exciting opportunity to help build an ambitious movement to phase out oil and gas extraction in the UK.
About Uplift
Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK. We strategically support, connect and elevate ideas and voices to set in motion a just transition away from fossil fuel production commensurate with the scale of the climate crisis.
The role
As Legal and Policy Adviser, you will collaborate with Uplift’s team and key partners to ensure that our collective work is underpinned by robust and forward-thinking legal and policy analysis. From supporting strategic litigation and legal advocacy to ensuring our politics team have a sound understanding of relevant policy frameworks, this is a diverse role at the heart of our work pushing a just transition away from oil and gas extraction.
Uplift has taken and supported high-profile climate litigation and used legal insight to generate front-page headlines linked to our campaigns. Most recently, we have won the legal case against the Rosebank oil field in the North Sea. We have also generated legal analysis to support a wider network to participate in vital public consultation processes.
The successful candidate will have exceptional legal and policy research skills, an ability to think strategically about law and policy opportunities, and a keen interest in climate and energy-related policy and campaigns. A strong commitment to Uplift's mission and core values is also required.
Responsibilities
Core responsibilities include:
-
Support the delivery of Uplift’s responses to ongoing policy processes, litigation, law reform advocacy, and legal analysis, advancing Uplift’s objectives.
-
Support the Principal Legal Adviser in executing strategic litigation opportunities and providing analysis and support to external lawyers and experts throughout.

-

About you
Our ideal candidate will have:
-
Experience in a similar or related role.
-
Policy or legal knowledge focussed on environmental or social justice. A formal legal qualification or policy and legislative experience would be beneficial.

-
A demonstrable ability to provide compelling and novel analysis, including defining and executing strategic research projects.
-
Exceptional writing and synthesis skills, and a very strong attention to detail.
-
Motivation, initiative, exceptionally high standards, a collaborative approach, and associated qualities needed to work in a dynamic organisation with an ambitious agenda.
-
A strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice.

RNID ydym ni. Gyda’n gilydd byddwn yn gwneud bywyd yn fwy cynhwysol i bobl fyddar a’r rhai sydd â cholled clyw neu dinitws.
Mae ein helusen wedi trawsnewid yn llwyr, wrth adeiladu ar y gorau o’n gorffennol. Rydym wedi dychwelyd at ein hen enw poblogaidd, wedi dechrau gweithio o bell yn gyfan gwbl, ac wedi sefydlu strategaeth newydd, sy’n canolbwyntio ar gyrraedd y 18 miliwn o bobl yn y DU sy’n fyddar, sydd â cholled clyw neu dinitws.
Rydym yn creu diwylliant cwbl wahanol sy’n canolbwyntio’n allanol, yn chwilfrydig, yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth, yn fwriadol, yn ystwyth ac yn canolbwyntio ar y dyfodol. Mae ein gwerthoedd wrth wraidd yr hyn a wnawn.
Rydym yn ymdrechu i fod, ac yn parhau i fod yn gysylltiedig â’n cymunedau, yn graff, ac yn hyderus yn yr hyn a wnawn a phwy ydym ni, yn chwilfrydig ym mhopeth a wnawn, ac yn angerddol am ein pwrpas.
Mae’r rôl hon yn bwysig i ni, a dyma ble rydych chi’n dod i mewn...

Hyderus o ran Anabledd
Mae Hyderus o ran Anabledd yn gynllun gan y Llywodraeth, sydd wedi’i gynllunio i annog cyflogwyr i recriwtio a chadw pobl anabl a phobl â chyflyrau iechyd. Mae wedi disodli’r cynllun blaenorol Dau Dic: Cadarn o Blaid Pobl Anabl, y gallech fod wedi clywed amdano.
