We are looking for someone with experience of working on community building initiatives, who is skilled in engaging and working collaboratively with diverse communities, with a flexible and empathetic approach, and a genuine commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.

ABOUT THE JO COX FOUNDATION’S WORK IN WEST YORKSHIRE

We want less lonely, better connected communities across the UK, where everyone feels that they belong. Jo Cox’s career took her around the world, yet her sense of belonging and her identity were always firmly rooted in Yorkshire. She knew that developing social connections with people like us, and with those who are different, helps to build individual and collective wellbeing, trust, resilience and cohesion.

The Jo Cox Foundation has its roots in West Yorkshire and our work here brings people together, increasing people’s social support networks and feelings of belonging. This enables us to improve lives locally, while also building our knowledge, credibility and evidence to share with communities and platforms across the UK.

“I am Batley and Spen born and bred, and I could not be prouder of that. I am proud that I was made in Yorkshire and I am proud of the things we make in Yorkshire. Britain should be proud of that, too.”

Jo Cox, Maiden Speech 2015

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Yorkshire Programme Manager has responsibility for the development and delivery of our community programmes in West Yorkshire, with a particular focus on Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike.

At present, this is focussed on leading our Bridging & Belonging project, which aims to co-produce a vision for the future of Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. We expect that the insight that we produce from this project will determine the direction of our community programmes in West Yorkshire over the coming years.

Working with the project’s Community Group, you’ll support them to deliver a series of community events that capture the issues, needs and skills of the community and identify the action that the community wants to see.

As the project draws to a conclusion, you’ll play a key role in planning our future work in West Yorkshire, in conjunction with the Head of Community Programmes, and will provide information and support for grant applications for this future work.

ABOUT THE BRIDGING & BELONGING PROJECT

We know from our work in West Yorkshire that community members want to connect with each other, influence change, and use their ideas and skills to benefit the community. Funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, this project aims to facilitate this through a series of community events and activities in Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. These events will explore the themes of community, place and belonging, and will help us create a shared vision for the future of the area.

This project has already been established, so you’ll start with an in-depth project plan in place and a small but engaged Community Group made up of people from across Batley, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike and surrounding areas. With them we have started planning for the first three community events. You’ll also get support in running this project from a Project Officer and our Head of Community Programmes.

Through your leadership of this project over the next 12 months, we will:

• Grow the Community Group to around 15 people

• Support the group to plan and deliver a series of community events across Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. These events will be for anyone with a connection to the area to connect, listen, and share stories on the themes of community, place and belonging.

• Support the group by organising and facilitating regular meetings, identifying any skills needs they have, and sourcing / providing training where relevant.

ABOUT YOU

We’re looking for someone who is motivated and positive about making change happen in the area. You need to be happy to work as part of a remote team, but also have the confidence and ability to work independently and on your own initiative. 

You’ll have a deep understanding of, and experience of engaging with, communities in West Yorkshire, particularly Batley, Dewsbury and Heckmondwike. You’ll have excellent interpersonal skills, and experience of facilitating group meetings and workshops in creative and engaging ways. This project has already started, so you’ll also need an ability to digest information and build relationships quickly.

You’ll have strong project management skills, and ideally experience planning and delivering events. Experience working with Steering Groups and reporting to funders will also be helpful.

Lastly, you will have strongly held personal values which align with The Jo Cox Foundation’s vision and Jo’s ‘more in common’ ethos. These will be reflected in your respect for others and the desire to make a truly positive contribution through your work.

It seeks to improve and protect the health of the population through collating and presenting the views of DsPH; advising on public health policy and legislation at a local, regional, national and international level; facilitating a support network for DsPH; and providing opportunities for DsPH to develop professional practice.

Are you an experienced fundraiser with a track record of securing and managing large grants? Do
you enjoy finding creative and proactive ways to build relationships with new and existing
funders? We’re looking for a talented fundraiser to join us. Reporting to the Development Director
and working closely with our project leads, this role will be a crucial addition to our mission-driven
team. Individuals who are passionate about public interest journalism and its power to drive real-
world change are encouraged to apply.

About the Bureau
The Bureau is the UK’s largest independent non-profit investigative journalism organisation. In the
last year, our investigations were published in over 100 countries across local, national,
international, specialist, TV and digital platforms. Our four global investigative teams work with
reporters around the world on priority cross-border issues – environment, health, corruption and
big tech. In addition, our UK-focused Bureau Local team uses an innovative community-led
approach to cover issues like insecure work, migrant rights and family courts, amplifying the voices
of underrepresented communities. Founded in 2010, we’ve grown from a small group of
journalists to a diverse team delivering hard-hitting investigations that have prompted inquiries,
sparked legal challenges and informed policy change in the UK and across the world.

Our fundraising
At the Bureau, our funders and supporters are vital. We are almost entirely funded through grants
and donations so – put simply – without their support, we wouldn’t be here.

Although our supporters may come from different backgrounds or have varied priorities, they all
share a common goal: tackling the issues across our society that are eroding democracy and
driving inequality. They support our work to hold those in power accountable, uncover new
evidence to support positive change, and empower citizens.

The Bureau has experienced significant growth over the past three years, increasing our annual
income to £2.8m and expanding to a team of more than 40 people. While the majority of our
income comes from grants, there is strong potential for further fundraising growth, and we are
actively working to diversify our funding streams beyond trusts and foundations.

This is an exciting time to join The Bureau as we continue to build on our strong relationships with
existing supporters while exploring new funding opportunities.

Role and Responsibilities:
Support from trusts and foundations is our main source of philanthropic income so we are looking
for somebody with experience in grants fundraising who can quickly apply their skills and
expertise. You’ll work closely with our Development Director to report to and liaise with current
funders, manage a pipeline of prospects and submit successful applications to secure new grants.
In addition, you will support in building a major donor programme to diversify and strengthen our
funding base. You will collaborate with colleagues at all levels across the organisation, from impact
producers to reporters to finance and operations, in a supportive and welcoming culture that
values teamwork and shared success.

As an excellent communicator, you will be able to take complex issues and translate them into
clear, compelling narratives that resonate with funders and stakeholders. You will also be
passionate about building strong relationships with our funders and supporters.

While experience in high-net-worth fundraising would be a valuable bonus, it is not essential. You
don’t need to have raised funds for non-profit media before, but you do need to be excited by our
work and able to express The Bureau’s key areas of work and impact in an accessible, accurate and
compelling way. We’re a small team, so you’ll need the willingness to pitch in on fundraising tasks
– big or small – to ensure The Bureau is in the best possible position to pursue its mission.

Skills and Experience:

• Excellent fundraiser with a demonstrable track record of 3+ years’ experience successfully raising significant funds for charities or non-profits and managing relationships with funders (foundations - essential, high net worth individuals - desirable);
• Strong background in managing grants admin, including due diligence and processing agreements;
• Excellent oral and written communication skills, able to speak and write English fluently;
• Great analytical skills, with experience in researching and identifying new funding sources for various projects;
• Ability to work to tight deadlines and manage multiple priorities;
• Experience of working with databases and funding pipelines;
• Exceptional time management skills, a professional attitude, and meticulous attention to detail;
• Resourceful and able to think creatively with strong problem-solving skills;
• Strong interpersonal skills, able to collaborate at all levels across the organisation.
• Experience in securing funds for journalism, social justice, civil society, human rights, or related causes is desirable but not essential;
• We envisage this as a full-time, primarily hybrid working role, working from our London office two/three times a week.

Salary and contract
Salary: £40k- £46k depending on experience
Contract: Permanent
Location: London (hybrid working)
Reporting to: Development Director

Benefits - what we offer

• 25 days annual leave
• Additional gifted leave during the Christmas festive break
• Flexible working arrangements
• Hybrid working
• EAP - Employee Assistance Program
• Enhanced sick pay
• Enhanced maternity and paternity pay after 12 months of service
• Learning and development opportunities
• Cycle to work scheme

How to apply
The Bureau is committed to being an equal-opportunity employer. We strive to create a
welcoming, diverse, inclusive, and adaptable environment where people are encouraged and
supported to achieve their best. We welcome applications from those belonging to groups
traditionally under-represented in the media. You don’t need to tick every box in this ad – we are
committed to hiring people with potential. If you feel like you lack some specific experience but
have the necessary drive and passion, please don’t be deterred from applying or getting in touch
with any questions.
