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!

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.

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

About Reprieve

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again.

In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing.

We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues.

Reprieve’s main office is in Aldgate, London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

About this role

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Reprieve team as our Head of Development- Grants and Major Givers, covering parental leave. With the support of the Deputy Director, Fundraising (DDF), you will lead the Development Team to fundraise for Reprieve, and our sibling organisation, Reprieve US, through multiple income streams. You will be responsible for managing a number of key donor relationships, while leading a dynamic and collaborative team to deliver against income targets across trusts, statutory, high value donors (HVD), events, awards and corporate sources. With at least five years fundraising experience, you will bring specialist expertise in at least one of the following areas:  trusts and foundations, statutory or high value donors. 

This is a pivotal moment for fundraising at Reprieve. The fundraising landscape in the UK has been affected by the economic crisis, and Reprieve is responding to this new context by remaining agile and proactively seeking new opportunities and funding sources. Our aim for the next 1 – 3 years is to maintain our current income and ensure Reprieve can resource our critical work at the same level. Joining at this key moment, you will be energised to bring your skills, experience, and knowledge to lead and support your team to steward and secure income from current funders, while strategising how to build income from new sources.

Reporting to the DDF, you will manage three Development Officers, ensuring they have the guidance, support, and infrastructure they need to fundraise effectively. You will work with the Head of Finance, the DDF and the Joint Executive Director (JED) to monitor and feed into organisational, programme and project budgets and income projections.  You will also collaborate with the wider fundraising team, including the Head of Mass Engagement, who leads our public fundraising (digital, emails, challenge events, regular giving); the finance team; the casework team, and Reprieve’s network of partners and fellows. 

For further details on the duties of the role please see the job description.

Are you passionate about global health & have experience in growing partnerships? Do you have an eye for detail? Then this role could be for you.

IHP’s vision is to see a world in which all suffering due to lack of healthcare is eradicated. Our Christian faith underpins all that we do. It motivates us to care for those in need, and give our best in all circumstances, as an expression of God's love. We serve the poor in health without regard for ethnic or religious background, focusing on where the need is greatest. 

In the last 3 years IHP's income of over £5.8m enabled us to reach over 54 million patients in more than 25 countries across the world. This income came from a range of sources including institutional donors, corporate grants (mainly healthcare companies who also donate medicines and healthcare supplies), trusts and foundations, partner NGOs, and individuals. 

To support our continued growth, we are looking to appoint an experienced (min 4 years), dynamic Senior Programme Funding Officer with a track record of managing and growing partnerships and income. We need someone who can speak the language of development, build our internal capacity and bring their technical expertise. This is a new role and so you have an opportunity to make a real impact.

That means bringing your experience in the sector to relationship building, technical grant applications and contract management.  You will guide and oversee bid development and ensure we have a strong case for support for IHP Programmes.  These include a range of therapy areas such as cancer, mental health and deworming, as well as our humanitarian response (eg Gaza and Sudan).  You will manage existing relationships including trusts and foundations and NGO partners and be part of the Fundraising Team's approach to all donors, including corporates and individuals.

We will be actively interviewing for this role as suitable candidates come forward, so we reserve the right to stop accepting applications earlier than the stated deadline.

You need to have experience of working with vulnerable people, or in supporting the welfare of individuals, ideally military personnel or veterans. Facilitation of meetings, training and group sessions is essential as is your knowledge of the needs veterans have when they leave service.

Knowledge of what addiction recovery is and how recovery programmes work is important with knowledge of the SMART Recovery 4-point Programme being highly beneficial.

We accept applications from individuals who have lived experience of addiction either directly or through family and friends, and be able to demonstrate living a balanced life. You need to demonstrate excellent communication and organisational skills, be able to motivate yourself and others and manage your time efficiently. Self-motivation is crucial as this is a home-based role with lots of virtual meetings. We will also consider a secondment from existing employment elsewhere.

Experience working with or being a volunteer is essential and experience of delivering training would equip you well for the role. The ability to support people with adverse lived experiences in a grounded manner and be able to provide support within professional boundaries is very important. Giving and receiving feedback, gathering data and other evidence to inform service development, and exercising reflective practice are all essential attributes.

The role is home-based, and you will be provided with all office equipment and a travel budget as needed.

There are also team development residental trips away with the SMART team every year.

In addition, you will contribute to the global development of SMART Recovery via veteran orientated projects identified by SMART Recovery International. It is essential that you can travel and work flexibly to meet the needs of the role.
