Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

REF-218 144
Use your communication skills to help inspire the UK Church to participate in sharing the gospel with people in hard-to-reach places.
About us
At Feba UK, we are passionate about God’s mission, and the creative use of radio and other audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in places considered closed or hard-to-reach: where people might not hear the gospel by any other means, or where it’s difficult to be a Christian.
About our development
Since Feba UK was established 65 years ago to help communicate the gospel by shortwave radio, much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.
We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local partners with training, expertise, prayer, and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in the listener’s ‘heart language’. Radio and other audio technology means they can reach people at scale and follow up in-person as listeners respond.
Today, our model of working with local, indigenous partners has a powerful impact in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
About the role
We now seek a Head of Communications and Engagement to focus on engaging the Church in the UK, where increasingly fewer churches see world mission as a priority. This role will take the lead on changing this, inspiring the Church through Feba UK’s ministry, reawakening its members to the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to bring transformation to some of the most disadvantaged and oppressed communities around the world.
About you
You will be a communications and engagement leader with a track record of developing and delivering high impact communication strategies who is adept in using digital and non-digital media. You will come with an empowering, prayerful and servant-hearted leadership style that listens deeply and fosters collaboration, and you will have a passion for mission.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. For more details including how to apply please see the appointment details attached. Closing date 6th January.

Senior Director of Development & Strategic Partnerships
The Worker Rights Consortium (WRC) is seeking a Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships. This person will lead the WRC’s fundraising and partnerships operations to maintain and grow our financial resources, including working with foundations, other institutional grantors, and large individual donors. The Senior Director will also spearhead external communication about the organization’s accomplishments and strategic vision to audiences relevant to our fundraising and partnership building efforts.
We seek committed, creative, and energetic candidates who have a strong record of achievement as a senior fundraiser.
About the Worker Rights Consortium
The WRC is one of the world’s leading corporate accountability organizations. We support garment workers and their unions around the world who are fighting to end labor rights abuses and win better wages and conditions in the supply chains of major global brands. The WRC conducts investigations in factories in more than two dozen countries, documents and exposes labor rights violations, and pressures corporations to deliver concrete remedies to workers. And we pursue strategies to achieve systemic change: pressing global corporations to sign binding agreements with unions and end the pricing practices that compel their suppliers to pay poverty wages, subject workers to long hours of forced overtime, and ignore worker safety in order to slash costs.
The WRC works in partnership with unions and civil society organizations across the Global South and North. The priorities of workers, conveyed by their representatives, guide our work. We measure success by documented real-world impact: helping workers win victories that improve their lives and vindicate their rights.
The WRC is based in Washington, DC. We have 27 staff members located in the US, UK, Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships
The Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships will lead fundraising, outreach, and engagement for the WRC at the level of both strategy and implementation. The WRC’s current annual budget is US$3.3 million, and we seek to grow this in line with our program strategy to roughly $5–6 million over the next two to three years.
Areas of responsibility include:
- Designing and implementing a comprehensive fundraising strategy to progressively increase annual revenue, including identifying, building relationships with, and securing new funding from foundations, other institutional funders, and individuals, as well as pursuing opportunities to expand relationships with current funders;
- Creating and implementing a framework for strategic external partnership communications, including working with the WRC’s global field team to convey the real-world impact of the WRC’s work and overseeing relevant enhancements to the WRC’s website and other communications pathways;
- Leading on grant writing and framing of external communications;
- Supporting the Executive Director and other colleagues to engage with, and ensure coherent messaging to, donors and other partners—including ensuring that the WRC participates in relevant conferences, convenings, and other discussions related to our organizational mission and objectives;
- Supervising the work of a second development professional who has day-to-day responsibility for grant management, grant reporting, implementation of sub-grantee/grantor arrangements, management of the organization’s small individual donor program, and who also assists with preparation of grant proposals;
- Monitoring progress on grant-funded projects through regular communication with program staff;
- Participating in the development of overall organizational strategy and aligning fundraising strategies accordingly; and
- Contributing to financial reporting and oversight.
This is a full-time position, available immediately. The position is hybrid for a successful candidate who resides in the Washington, DC-area or remote in the case of a candidate who resides elsewhere.
The WRC will consider candidates located within six hours of the US Eastern time zone. For international candidates and US candidates based outside of Washington, DC, the position requires periodic travel to Washington, DC, and possibly other countries in which the WRC works. The Senior Director of Development and Strategic Partnerships will report to the WRC’s Executive Director.
