Bringing the Mast Cell Activation Syndrome community together

Our client is a small UK rare disease charity. Our client established at the end of 2015 to respond to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). MCAS is a crippling, unpredictable and frightening condition affecting the immune system. Sufferers from MCAS have “wrongly programmed” immune systems that react to a wide range of triggers including food, drink, stress, temperature and many others. The effects range from unpleasant allergic reactions, through to an overall debilitation resulting in people being unable to leave their houses. It was first recognised internationally in 1990, with a set of diagnostic criteria agreed in 2011, but is little known or understood in the UK, where incidence seems to be increasing. Here patients can wait 3-5 years for a diagnosis, often receive very little knowledge or help from within the medical establishment and can find themselves in a frightening limbo.

Their mission is to provide support for MCAS patients & their families; to bring the MCAS community together and create a cohesive voice; to lobby for awareness, universally available diagnosis and the best possible care for MCAS patients; and to inspire increased research into mast cell activation and related conditions, to improve understanding and treatment.

About War Child

War Child is the specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades we’ve delivered high-impact programmes that are rebuilding lives across Afghanistan, Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Central African Republic and Yemen.

We understand children’s needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of the solution – from reintegrating children formerly associated with armed groups and armed forces (CAAFAG) in the Central African Republic to reuniting children with their families in Afghanistan.

We protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children living through conflict.

We go to the hardest-to-reach places to support those who are hardest hit.

We look forward to a world in which the lives of children are no longer torn apart by war. This is a vision that can only be realised through the collective actions of children themselves, communities and their leaders, organisations like War Child, governments and key decision-makers.

About the role

The Partnerships Development Manager is an exciting role which will play a key part in the development of partnerships at War Child.

The team had a successful 2024 financial year, and this role will build on the momentum gained from the success across new business and account management.

The key objective will be driving new business forward to ensure the team secures income from the private sector. In doing so, this will enable War Child to reach more children in conflict zones and the organisation to have the flexible funding needed to maintain stability and growth.

Reporting to the Head of Partnerships, this role will drive partnership development in the team, using creativity, initiative and innovation to seek out and secure new partnerships in the UK and global markets.

Partnerships are always creative and bespoke, allowing freedom within the role and ensuring maximum success through truly mutually beneficial partnerships. This position will line manage the Partnerships Executive who will support on new business pipeline development, proposal development and approaches.

The team is close and non-hierarchical. Everyone in the team contributes to strategic planning, partnership development, and good ideas will always be explored.

Who we are looking for

We seek a creative, proactive candidate who is eager to develop new partnerships with the private sector and, most importantly, is passionate about supporting children living through conflict.

You will be motivated by all stages of the cultivation journey and bring experience in research and proactively building a pipeline of new business prospects.

Experience in securing partnerships, both commercial and strategic, would be beneficial for this role.

We are open to first-time managers applying for the position – as long as you bring a passion for the cause, have experience with prospective new business partnerships and enjoy the buzz of securing new partnerships — then we’d love to hear from you!

United Kingdom for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is registered with the Charity Commission (England & Wales), charity no. 1183415. It is the UK national partner of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the UN Refugee Agency.

We are looking for an experienced Regional Development Coordinator, to lead the coordination and management of all aspects of the StreetDoctors operations within the Northern Region (North West, North East and Yorkshire), and to ensure our programmes are fit for the future.

We are an award-winning national charity which trains over 12,000 young people affected by street violence each year in emergency first-aid through a team of 350 healthcare volunteers and youth workers. We empower young people with the skills to become part of the solution to violence by developing the skills and confidence to save lives and increasing their understanding of the medical and psychological consequences of violence.

As the StreetDoctors lead for the Region, you will provide leadership in partnership development, volunteer management, the delivery of training and maintaining quality standards.

The key areas of focus include:

• To create, develop and maintain partnerships with a range of organisations including, funders, commissioners, community organisations, criminal justice organisations, education providers and youth organisations.
• To develop and manage engaged volunteers and youth workers and ensure their expectations are aligned to the organisation's objectives and provide the best volunteering experience possible.
• To ensure the quantity and quality of training sessions and projects meet the required targets and new opportunities are maximised.

At StreetDoctors we believe diversity supports innovation and creativity. We are committed to equality of opportunity, being inclusive, and being representative of the people we are here to support. We would therefore encourage applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds.

An exciting new opportunity has arisen for a Communications & Marketing Officer to join our dynamic social mobility charity which exists to remove the barriers that prevent children and young people having meaningful access to the natural world.  Through a week on one of our three heritage farms, Nethercott House in Devon, Lower Treginnis in Pembrokeshire, and Wick Court in Gloucestershire, children and young people experience increased learning and engagement, improved connections and wellbeing, and leave us with an enhanced sense of environmental citizenship.  Visiting children are immersed in the natural world of countryside through a food and farming offer that allows them to participate in the seasonal tasks of the day: sowing, growing and harvesting in our kitchen gardens; caring for livestock and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown feast in the farmhouse kitchen. In partnership with our commercial farming neighbours, children experience the benefits of collaboration, enjoy plenty of physical activity, good food, and fresh air, and discover the magical rural environment that is full of new words, sounds and experiences to inspire their creativity. Spending time working alongside real farmers fosters children’s independence and helps them to grow in confidence, develops their self-esteem, and encourages them to become more resilient.

About the Role

The Communications & Marketing Officer is responsible for producing and managing high quality content on the Farms for City Children website, social media channels and other communications assets which will promote and raise awareness of the charity to existing and potential donors, partners, schools, and groups, supporting the charity’s fundraising efforts and recruiting new beneficiaries to the farms.

 

The majority of the work will be home-based, but due to the farm locations we are looking for someone based in the South West England or South East Wales to ensure that travel expenses are manageable for the Charity. There will be regular travel to the Charity’s three farms in Devon, Pembrokeshire, and Gloucestershire. A full driving licence is essential as the farms are in remote locations and not accessible by public transport.

The post is a full-time role working 35 hours per week over five days. Our usual office hours are Monday to Friday between 9:00am and 5:00pm. A degree of flexibility is available in the working pattern for this role, so someone wishing to work 30 hours per week would be considered.

For full details about the role, please see the Job Description and Person Specification and Job Information Pack.

Appointments will not be confirmed until the Charity has received two satisfactory professional references, evidence of the existing proof of right to work in the UK. Referees will not be contacted without candidates’ prior consent.

Farms for City Children is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

Successful candidates will be subject to a Social Media check and a DBS check at the appropriate level. Employment with the charity is conditional upon the charity being satisfied with the result of the DBS Check. Successful candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.  Any criminal records information that is disclosed to the charity will be handled in accordance with any guidance and/or code of practice published by the DBS.

Farms for City Children is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity and supports and encourages under-represented groups.  We seek people from a wide range of backgrounds, with diverse lived experience, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

What we Offer

In return you will receive a starting salary of £28,000 per annum and a range of benefits, which include:

· 25 days annual leave plus 8 bank holidays

· 6% employer contribution to NEST pension scheme

· Employee Assistance Programme
