The RAF Charitable Trust is looking for someone with vision and ambition to lead the organisation. The need for our work is clear. Technology and aviation continue to advance at an unprecedented rate. The IET estimates that the skills shortage in STEM jobs costs the UK economy £1.5bn a year, and there are over 173,000 STEM vacancies. The UK Commission for Employment and Skills stated in 2022 that 43 per cent of STEM vacancies were hard to fill due to a shortage of applicants, leaving tech skills in even higher demand. The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Diversity and Inclusion in STEM also notes significant inequality in high skilled and graduate level roles for those from minority and disadvantaged backgrounds. RIAT’s ongoing success enables RAFCT to be increasingly ambitious regarding its impact through the inspiration of young people: 1. By 2026, RAFCT will have delivered high-quality interventions to over 500,000 young people (measured from 2022).
2. From 2026, RAFCT will deliver high-quality interventions to at least 500,000 young people every year.
3. These interventions will either be via:
a. New programmes unique to RAFCT
b. Existing programmes scaled with funding from RAFCT
To achieve this ambition, we are looking for a highly experienced Director to continue the Charity’s trajectory of growth. The successful candidate will work with the RAFCT Chair and Board of Trustees to set, implement, and then assure the delivery of the Trust’s strategy. The Director will lead the Trust’s charity team, and work closely with the Trust’s trading company, RAF Charitable Trust Enterprises Ltd, the RAF, and existing and new delivery partners and charities.
This is a role that requires pragmatism, vision, diplomacy and flexible and creative thinking. The successful candidate will be a strategic and credible leader with strong financial acumen and a successful leadership track record. They will possess an innovative and entrepreneurial mindset, and be able to connect ideas and people. They will have a proven record of collaboration while providing constructive challenge when appropriate, and they will have good experience of measuring impact in a national STEM setting. They will also ensure high operational standards while continuing to promote a transparent, collaborative and values-driven culture within the Charity team.
Of note, the successful candidate will be highly supportive of the RAF and Defence, and have a passion to deliver the life-changing benefits for young people of an interest in aviation, and STEM.

About BASIC
BASIC is an independent think tank whose mission is to safeguard humanity and Earth’s ecosystem from nuclear weapons risks and interconnected security threats, for generations to come. Founded in 1987, we have 36 years’ experience of convening meaningful dialogues across complex political divides, and a reputation for generating innovative, high-quality research and policy advice.
BASIC is a fast-paced, inclusive, and rewarding environment in which to work. We have experienced >5x growth since 2017, and our intention is to continue this growth trajectory. We have an exceptionally positive team culture.
BASIC sees its role as one of drawing together different perspectives within the nuclear weapons / security debate and pushing the boundaries of policy discussions. We cherish our independence and freedom of speech. We are independent, receive no core funding from any state, and our project work is funded transparently.
Role Description
The Project Manager is an adept and organised professional, esteemed within the nuclear policy community for their level. Responsible for overseeing a discrete package of work, they must demonstrate a clear understanding and alignment with broader programme goals, strategies, and objectives. The role will report to the Programme Manager.
Taking charge of project deliverables, the Project Manager will navigate the entire project cycle, from generating fundraising ideas to developing them further and building knowledge of funding relationships.
The Project Manager should possess a solid understanding of global security and conflict
resolution, coupled with a proven ability to design, and execute high-quality project management and research. The ideal candidate is an established researcher with a specialisation in nuclear weapons issues or whatever else is relevant to the project that they will be managing, and an emerging track record of policy relevant publications.
The Project Manager will manage two BASIC projects concurrently:
1. The Peaceful Nuclear Technologies Portal (PEANUT, 2024-2025)
The PEANUT Portal will be a one-stop shop microsite featuring information about available civil nuclear science and technologies for the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or ‘Global Goals’). In this capacity, you will work with a subject matter expert (already appointed) to build the site and actively promote the site and peaceful nuclear technologies more generally amongst relevant States and multilateral conferences.
As Project Manager, you will oversee the successful completion of further funding for the PEANUT project for beyond March 2025.
2. ‘Scoping British Nuclear Weapons Harms’ (2024-2026).
Scoping British Nuclear Harms is a two-year scoping inquiry into the humanitarian and environmental harms caused by the UK Government’s nuclear weapons programme since its genesis. The candidate will build on existing work by BASIC to develop a nuclear harm reduction framework, and develop national and international networks with others working on these issues to develop and promote this work.
The role requires a fundamental understanding of the UK’s nuclear weapons programme and history, and the Project Manager will have a professional background in nuclear science and/or technology. Ideally the Project Manager will also have experience with science communication.
The Project Manager should possess the skills to expand their network in their area of specialisation, benefiting BASIC, and be capable of line managing other team members within their programme.
This role necessitates a formal project or programme management qualification – BASIC will provide the Project Manager with such training and qualifications if they do not already possess one. The Project Manager will collaborate with their line manager to identify a professional development plan, closing skills gaps and aspiring to become an internationally respected leader in their field.

Introduction to Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney
Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney is a user-led charity providing the independent voice of Carers in the way their services are designed, developed and delivered. Its vision is to ensure that unpaid Carers throughout Norfolk & Waveney are valued, recognised, and supported with equal access to a good quality of life that is not prejudiced by their caring role.
The guiding principle that informs our work is expressed in the organisational mission statement:
‘To improve the health and wellbeing of all Carers in Norfolk & Waveney; through partnership working we will ensure that the voice of Carers is heard and listened to, enabling support and services to be designed and delivered that reflect Carers’ needs and interests’.
Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney facilitates a countywide strategic partnership group and five locality network groups, all of which meet quarterly. CVN&W has a membership of over 2000 Carers and a reach extending to over 100 Carer groups countywide. The organisation is led by a board of trustees, all of whom have lived experience of caring, and who delegate day-to-day management to the Chief Officer who is supported by the Carers Voice Co-Production and Project Officer and the Membership & Administration Officer.
Carers Voice Norfolk & Waveney works in partnership with the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board which provides the health and social care for Norfolk and Waveney together with statutory and voluntary organisations.

Coproduction is central to everything we do at Carers Voice. Carers are ‘experts’ through their lived experience and Carers Voice works to ensure Carers are able to influence change regarding the services, policies and decisions that affect them and the people they care for. Coproduction is an equal relationship between people who use services and people responsible for services. Decision making is shared in planning, design, delivery and monitoring.
The role will be carried out mainly in weekday office hours and can be flexible to suit the right person. Very occasional evening and weekend work will be required.

The Person:
You are an ambitious, adaptable Development Professional with a passion to support the UK’s first and only Queer Museum. You have excellent people skills, a keen eye for detail and love to exceed expectations. You want a role that offers growth and stretch. You are able to identify and implement innovative fundraising strategies. You manage donor information carefully and cultivate warm strategic relationships through personalised communication and impactful events. Your infectious enthusiasm and desire to learn and grow in a dynamic environment make you a perfect fit.
The Role:
Queer Britain is the UK’s first and only LGBTQ+ museum, and it’s for all. Our warm and collegiate team opened the museum in our beautiful space in Kings Cross two years ago. Since then, we are proud to have won the Museum Association's Best Small Museum of the Year award and welcomed around 100,000 guests through the doors. We are preparing for our next exciting growth phase. As Development Manager, you will be key to growing from these early successes.
You will support the Director, Trustees and wider team’s fundraising efforts across all fundraising disciplines, including major donors, members and corporate partnerships, helping raise revenue for core funding, special projects and, as we work to acquire our next home, a capital campaign.
You will conduct thorough research to identify prospective high-value donors, manage associated administrative tasks, and maintain detailed records. You will nurture relationships with existing patrons and sponsors, ensuring effective stewardship and strategic communications and you will help identify new ones, bringing your brilliant networking skills, charm and credibility to sell our vision and mission.
You will coordinate across the charity to ensure fundraising activities support the museum’s goals, crafting compelling proposals and organising donor engagement and stewardship events.
Queer Britain is the UK's first and only LGBTQ+ Museum, for all, and we opened in our beautiful heritage space in Kings Cross, London in 2022.
