Responsibilities

Reporting into the Deputy Chief Executive, and working with the leadership team, you will foster strong employee relations and well-aligned policies to indirectly enhance the quality of services provided to our beneficiaries. Embedding our values and behaviours, ensuring legal compliance, and promoting inclusion and diversity, you will facilitate a workplace that better reflects and serves the diverse communities NEA supports.

Why National Energy Action?

It is a key time for the charity as the energy crisis highlighted the importance of the work we do - on the ground and with government. And, over the coming years the drive towards a net zero carbon future could help to eradicate fuel poverty across the UK.

We provide a flexible and supportive working environment. You are likely to work from one of our offices, but we are a geographically dispersed organisation, and you may be based elsewhere. Wherever you are, you will make a huge difference for colleagues who are helping people forced to live in cold and damp homes.

NEA is changing how we work in lots of different ways. We are developing a new values and behaviours framework to help drive the future direction of the charity, including as an employer.

About you:

You will want to make an impact. You will want to be part of a passionate team. You will be motivated by working in a values-driven organisation. You will want to help NEA be an exemplary employer. You will share our passion for creating big change so that everyone can afford to keep their homes warm and safe.

You will have had significant experience working within a motivated and mission-led environment, possibly but not essentially, in another charitable organisation. You will have experience in inclusion, organisation reporting and change management.

We are committed to improving our approach to diversity and inclusion and as a senior leader and member of the Directors team, you will be a champion of our work in this area. For this role we would strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups, in particular people of colour and disabled people.

Background

Around the world, public resources are being raised and spent unfairly and ineffectively, leaving millions of people without access to the quality public goods and services they need to thrive. Governments often make public resource decisions without much consultation or information from the public. Meanwhile, those with power and privilege very effectively influence government decisions in their favour.

Our goal is to make governments raise and spend public money more so that everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to thrive and get ahead. To achieve this, The International Budget Partnership (IBP) partners with budget analysts, community organizers, and advocates in 120 countries to advance public budget systems that work for people. Together, we generate data, advocate for reform, and build the skills and knowledge of people so that everyone can have a voice in public money decisions that impact their lives. For more than 25 years we have built a global network of partners that promote the public’s right to have a say in public finance. More recently we have scaled up our impacts to help communities drive change in how governments both raise and spend public resources and to inform decisions to ensure those resource translate into quality services—from healthcare to clean water.

Purpose of Role

IBP seeks a Director of Fundraising to drive our organization's resource development and financial sustainability. Working at the highest levels of the organization, this leader will develop and implement comprehensive fundraising strategies to secure multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitments from major international donors.

Success in this role requires exceptional relationship-building abilities, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of securing large-scale funding from a diverse range of channels including institutions, foundations and High Net Worth Individuals. This is an opportunity to shape the financial future of a global organization working to advance budget transparency, participation, and accountability in public finance and governance.

This is an exciting moment for IBP as it has just released its new strategy.

BACKGROUND    

The latest research suggesting that the number of children and young people at risk of hunger has rocketed to 2.7 million* means that one in five children don't have enough to eat.  When a child is too hungry to learn, when they’re aching for something to eat, they can’t concentrate. They can’t absorb information. Big feelings and worries can be impossible to control. They fall behind in their studies. 

Magic Breakfast provide a nutritious and filling breakfast to over 200,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target the children most in need without barrier or stigma.  Magic Breakfast are ambitious to grow our impact to remove hunger as a barrier to learning for all children and young people in the UK.

The new UK government’s Children’s Wellbeing Bill outlined in the King’s Speech, includes a requirement for free school breakfast clubs in every English primary school. This is a fantastic start towards ending child morning hunger. Magic Breakfast’s influence will be instrumental to ensuring school breakfasts are introduced in a way that is hunger-focused and barrier free. In 2021, the Scottish Government, pledged a not yet enacted promise to provide breakfast to primary children.

Thousands of secondary school children are at risk of losing their free school breakfasts from September next year. For many of these students, this is their only opportunity to have a nutritious meal before facing a demanding school day, including taking exams.

Solutions across all UK nations are currently either not yet actioned or are severely underserving the current need. Being part of the work of Magic Breakfast is your chance, together with parents, teachers and people across the UK, to demonstrate the power of school breakfasts and to shape the way forward to end morning hunger for good.
