You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet. Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to help end leprosy?

The Leprosy Mission (TLM) is the world’s largest leprosy-focused organisation, a pioneer in our field, with over 150 years’ experience serving people affected by this disease. We are a leading international development charity, working in nine countries across Africa and Asia. We are Christ-centered, following His leading to defeat leprosy and transform lives.

We are looking for an inspirational communicator to be the face of The Leprosy Mission. You’ll be working from home, with extensive travel across your region. As part of a fun and supportive team, you’ll be changing the lives of people who have been rejected by society. We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see our work first hand.

We’re looking for:

• A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches and community groups
• Proven success in fundraising or sales
• A confident networker
• Experience of managing volunteers
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
• Willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
• The ability to develop and deliver a regional fundraising strategy.

TLM is an explicitly Christian charity, serving those of all faiths and none. There is an occupational requirement for the Community Partnerships Manager to be a committed Christian as you will be preaching and speaking in supporting churches. 

A valid UK driving license is an essential requirement for the role. The successful candidate will be required to undertake a work health questionnaire.

Can you write compelling copy, own your work and get results? We're hiring a freelance Communications Officer for 8 hours a week, starting asap. We’re looking for a proactive professional to support our mission to transform loneliness into connection among isolated people and under-served groups in Tower Hamlets. We are a strongly values-led organisation, and the health and wellbeing of our team is as important to us as the wellbeing of those we serve.

Heritage of London Trust (HOLT) restores the buildings and monuments that tell the story of the city and the people who live within it. Founded over 40 years ago, our mission is to rescue characterful and neglected historic sites all across the city. We focus on sites at risk in areas of least investment - in local communities that most need our help - ensuring a sustainable future for every project we work on. To date, we have restored 850 sites across London.

About the Role:

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced and proactive project manager with a passion for London’s built heritage. The Head of Projects will oversee the delivery of our restoration projects across the capital, ensuring they meet our high standards and achieve maximum public benefit.

The role involves overseeing the full lifecycle of restoration projects, from initial research and site identification to overseeing conservation work and successful project completion. Importantly, you will work closely with local authorities, conservation experts and community organisations to influence and build local commitment to conservation projects.

 

Key Responsibilities:

• Oversee heritage restoration projects from inception to completion.
• Identify at-risk historic sites and develop a pipeline of new projects.
•  Manage budgets and project timelines, ensuring successful and efficient delivery.
• Build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders to support project success.
• Select and collaborate with contractors, conservators, and heritage specialists.
• Conduct regular site visits to assess progress and adherence to project specifications.

Why Join Us?

This is an incredibly fun, engaging and rewarding role, working alongside committed colleagues, overseeing a range of projects that have the power to make a significant social impact in communities across London.

We currently work a hybrid model from our fantastic co-working offices at Fivefields in Victoria, however as this role project manages a portfolio of up to 40 projects at different stages, with circa 15 active projects at any given time, the Head of Projects will be out and about visiting our projects and programmes across London on a regular basis. This role should plan to be working in our office 3 days per week, with site visits out across London throughout the week.
