We’re driven by our purpose of saving lives and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Last year alone we responded to over 3,300 incidents. We are fearless and tireless in fighting to save every life.

Our charity headquarters and forward operating base are located at Rochester Airport, with our aircraft hangar and maintained at Redhill Aerodrome. When the call comes, we can reach any part of Kent, Surrey or Sussex in under 30 minutes.

Key Responsibilities

You will be part of a small team of specialists who lead, advise and support the business and help deliver our strategy.

With around 160 staff members the HR Team play a hugely important role in all aspects from recruitment to learning, wellbeing to pensions. It is a small team, and we need someone with experience to deal with the multiple facets of HR and someone who is a “doer”. You should be as happy developing strategy as you are running a welcome induction. Life will not be boring, and you will work with some incredible people, and experience some incredible stories. You will go home every day knowing you have made a difference.

This role will require an experienced HR generalist with some knowledge of payroll. First and foremost, the postholder will lead the HR systems and management activity across KSS and ensure with the support of the team that the Core People Tasks are fulfilled to a high standard each month. Therefore, great team management and organisational skills are essential.

Secondly, the postholder in partnership with the People Business Partner will support the senior leadership team, managers and staff throughout the organisation to deal with HR related matters in whatever form they take. Ideally you will have an overview of organisational design and procedures, which will allow you to act as an adviser to resolve staffing issues/conduct, absence and sickness management, recruitment and retention. Empathy and an understanding of the importance of process are important characteristics.

Thirdly, with the core tasks complete there is then freedom to develop our approach to HR, internal culture and learning and put your own stamp on KSS. The postholder will work closely with all business areas to align the HR strategies with the business goals and organisational culture. By developing meaningful organisational-related policies, practices, and processes and, working with internal stakeholders, the postholder will take the lead on business strategies that could focus on a myriad of areas such as culture development, learning, organisational effectiveness, EDI, employee engagement or reward. Anything that makes us better employers and a great place to work. Being innovative and building great working relationships are key to success.

We’d like the postholder to have strong UK employment legislation knowledge, but we do not expect to find anyone who specialises in all activities or the systems we use, but familiarity with any of the systems named in the job profile will be an advantage. We are also willing to consider part time working for the right candidate with exceptional HR experience. In essence we can be flexible to build the right team with the skills we need. If you think you can contribute, please apply.

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.

Qualifications

Candidates must have:

• A minimum of seven years’ experience in fundraising for nonprofit organizations and/or seven years’ combined experience with fundraising and strategic communications;
• A substantial track record of successfully cultivating institutional donors and proven experience in establishing new fundraising partnerships;

• Exceptional written and oral communications skills;
• Excellent interpersonal skills, including the ability to initiate, build, and maintain working relationships with existing and potential grantors and a global team across numerous time zones;
• Strong budget management skills and experience delivering against financial targets;
• Excellent organizational and project management skills and rigorous attention to detail;
• Energy, enthusiasm, a strong work ethic, and a sense of humor; and
• A commitment to workers’ rights and corporate accountability.

The following are desirable but not required:

• Experience with labor rights work; and
• Experience working in an international context.

 

Compensation

Compensation for this position is $115,000–$135,000 per year, depending on relevant experience (adjusted to the local currency, where applicable). The WRC provides its US staff, who are covered by a union contract, with an excellent benefits package, including 100% employer-paid family health insurance, including dental and vision care, with an additional flexible spending plan with employer contribution; 401(k) retirement plan with employer contribution; and five weeks paid vacation.

This is an exciting time and opportunity for someone with a background in the charity sector. This role offers a chance to make a real impact within our team, especially as we prepare for a series of high-profile fundraising and awareness initiatives for our 25th birthday in 2026. Alongside celebrating this milestone, we’re eager to support the launch of the new Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex University Hospital. This development opens up new opportunities for collaboration with our local NHS provider, driving us towards more integrated services and preparing us for the increased patient volume we expect in the coming years.

The Mulberry Centre is an award-winning cancer information and support charity, based on the grounds of West Middlesex University Hospital in Isleworth, West London. Since 2001, we have provided services to more than 18,000 people, and we’re committed to expanding our reach. With an annual income now exceeding £700k and having doubled over the past five years, we’re on track for continued growth and diversification, aiming to extend our impact in the community.

As Head of Fundraising & Engagement, you will play a key role in developing a cohesive fundraising, communications, and engagement strategy to secure sustainable income and elevate our profile. This role will see you working closely with the Chief Executive and the Fundraising Committee to lead initiatives with trusts and foundations, the National Lottery, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate partners.

You’ll oversee a dynamic team of four:

• Philanthropy and Partnerships Lead: Managing a portfolio of trusts and assisting with corporate and high-net-worth fundraising.
• Marketing & Communications Lead: Responsible for boosting our profile across various media.
• Supporter Engagement Lead: Driving individual and community group fundraising.
• Community Engagement Lead: Raising awareness of cancer prevention, early detection, and our support services in the community.

This role requires a skilled multi-tasker with strong project management and interpersonal skills, capable of meeting bid deadlines and managing key partnerships. If you’re detail-oriented with a knack for crafting compelling applications and budgets, we’d love to hear from you.

OVERVIEW 

If you are someone happy to take initiative, act as a service provider to our insiders, lend your hand to anything/everything with regard to building the organisation and are drawn to the idea of helping bring to life an ambitious new social enterprise, then we hope you will consider applying.

We believe that corporate ‘Insiders’ have been under invested in, under-utilised and often under-estimated in conversations about how we support a just transition. 

You will be the only staff member but have a lot of brilliant people around you to provide support and we hope that with your support and leadership we will grow to a team of 3-4 over the coming 18 months. 

We are looking for a self-starter who will flourish as a facilitator of insider groups, as a recruiter of Insiders, as an advocate and sector-builder for the insider community and as someone who can put the building blocks in place for an organisation that is set to grow and flourish.

To begin with, you will be hosted at non-profit Impatience Ltd who are providing hosting support to Impatience Insiders. 

PERSON SPECIFICATION 

We are looking for someone with at least six years of professional experience who is: 

1. Confident in supporting bold movement building and encouraging people towards action;

2. Able to work delicately in high trust environments; 

3. Able to work collaboratively with partners; 

4. Energised to search and recruit for Insiders from a ‘cold’ start (e.g. building new relationships on Linkedin, etc.); and 

5. Able to help build the ecosystem which we are a part of.

We are definitely looking for an all-rounder and do not have a particular experience set in mind. We expect to get applications from people from a range of backgrounds including those who have worked in large professional services firms, civil society building, community organising, programme management, financial services, social entrepreneurship, consulting or public affairs. 

We will be looking for people who have had to build things from scratch and are used to working with diverse stakeholder groups and holding a strong sense of purpose.

The essentials:

1. You care deeply about the social and environmental challenges the world is facing and can see how industry can play a critical role in impacting these issues;

2. You are a confident project manager - you must have a knack of keeping things organised and on track, being able to write clearly and distil information; 

3. You are a keen researcher who likes learning about new topics and presenting information back in written documents and briefings;

4. You are committed to facilitating and organising in ways that support diversity, equity and inclusion;

5. You have some facilitation experience and are comfortable building trust with individuals as well as holding space for confidential and sensitive conversations in groups. You have experience of supporting people to work through challenges and differing opinions to get to points of agreement and action;

6. You are happy researching and approaching potential partners, Insiders, etc. without warm introductions and building a new community around this work;

7. You are able to work independently with only light-touch support, self-start and manage competing priorities and multiple groups of stakeholders.

Helpful but not essential experience/skills: 

1. A background and experience of working within food systems; this could be through having worked hands-on on farms, in the public sector on agriculture policy, on corporate sustainability strategies, or through a master’s degree; 

2. A background in project management, public affairs, and relationship management;

3. A background in movement building, community organising, facilitation and/or advocacy;

4. Experience in fundraising and partnership building;

5. Experience in sales, recruitment, hospitality and/or training;

6. Experience of working in and pushing for change in large organisations.

You will have a few key aspects to your work: 

1. Own and organise the Insiders group. This will include seeking new members to expand our Insider group, while retaining current members by ensuring meetings and work are relevant, interesting and beneficial for members;

2. Work with partners to turn insider insights into campaigns to influence change within the sector;

3. Help plan and deliver the UK’s first ‘Insider Summit’ where we bring together people doing insider work across a range of industries and forms;

4. Seed and support new insider groups;

5. Help develop the methodology for insider group development;

6. Build relationships with potential funders and pitch for further core or project-related funding; 

7. Project-manage external agencies that are conducting delivery work for each project, from conception through to delivery and dissemination with civil society organisations, government, media and/or investors.

For the right person, this will be an amazing experience that allows them to learn as they lead work and accelerate into a space where their knowledge and insight is directly impacting progress towards transforming the UK food system and other industries. 

We’re flexible about location (within the UK), hours and type of experience, our priority is to find the right person to lead this work who is ready to hit the ground running and has both the track record and skill set to make a success of this. We are committed to having a team that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities and so if you are not 100% sure that you meet all the requirements but believe you could excel in this role, we encourage you to apply and use the application cover letter to tell us about your experience and what you hope to bring to this role. 

The Impatience Ltd leadership team can be seen at: impatienceltd. org/our-team. 

This project has Jake Hayman as the lead board sponsor as well as active involvement in oversight and management from Farhana Yamin and Aditi Shah.

The organisation is very much at a start-up stage with our only major funding coming to support this key role and one fellow team member over the next 12 months which is why this is an initial 12-month contract. 

We hope the track record of the leadership team in building multiple successful thriving organisations will give candidates some confidence that this is an organisation that can grow and thrive and provide amazing opportunities to stretch themselves, provide career development and build their skills.
