This is an exciting time to join PLUS, as we welcomed a new CEO and Chair earlier this year. Our board is committed to building on our strong foundations to ensure PLUS is fit for the future.

We’re eager to bring fresh thinking and new perspectives into our board as we
continue to grow.
we are keen to hear from potential trustees who can work collaboratively to support and scrutinize the executive leadership team and provide strategic direction within a consensus - based decision - making structure. We're looking to appoint up to three new trustees, with a particular focus on those who bring experience and knowledge in the following areas:

QuarterFive are delighted to be partnering with The Orpheus Centre, which supports young disabled adults to live and work as independently as they are able. They do this through developing their confidence and independent living skills, using arts-based, bespoke learning, work experience and supported living programmes delivered from their base in Surrey. All of their learners are learning disabled and some are also physically disabled.
The Orpheus Centre is located at a beautiful converted farm that provides teaching and performance spaces and self-contained accommodation. However, their success in enabling these young people to thrive means that they are over subscribed every year and have outgrown the current facilities.
The capital appeal will convert a building next to the Centre to allow for more learners to enrol, in particular more learners with more complex needs. Currently, the quiet phase is projected for 2024-2027, with the build phase being projected for 2027-2029.
The Head of Capital Appeal will sit on the SMT, reporting to the CEO, and be responsible for leading a small team of fundraisers also dedicated to raising funds for the build. While there will be a team to support, the Head of Capital Appeal will spend most of their time personally fundraising as well. There are existing opportunities, including a well-connected President (also the Founder), a Capital Appeal Committee which will be set up, and an existing pool of donors. A focus on new business, however, will also be crucial for the success of the project.
As Head of Capital Appeal, you will:
- Develop, implement and monitor the private and public phases of the capital appeal strategy to enable the Orpheus Centre to meet the appeal target
- Establish a high performing capital appeal committee of volunteers to cultivate and steward potential significant donors
- Deliver target income from a range of sources, primarily major donors, trusts and foundations and statutory sources, but not discounting other viable income streams
- Personally secure significant major gifts for the capital project
- Design, recruit and lead a team of fundraisers to support on fundraising for the capital project
- Research and identify potential funders for the capital project
- Work closely with the build project team, to ensure clear communication between the funding and the building of the project
- Provide timely reports for Senior Management Team and Trustees to facilitate effective cash flow management and decision making
Ideal skills and experience:
- Significant experience in a senior high value fundraising role
- Demonstrable experience of securing 5- and 6-figure major gifts
- Extensive track record in working with trusts, major donors and statutory funders
- Experience of line managing teams of fundraisers
- Ability to adapt to different audiences, including donors, senior volunteers, team members, learners and all colleagues in the wider organisation
- Experience in managing senior level volunteers and fundraising committees
- Understanding of disability language and issues
- Ability to demonstrate an appreciation of the arts
Benefits include:
- 30 days annual leave in addition to bank holidays
- 6% employer pension contribution (5% employee contributions)
- Enhanced maternity leave
- 5 days paid sick leave in a rolling 12-month period
- 3 days paid time off for dependents per year
- Free staff lunches
- Employee Assistance Programme
Interviews are scheduled for Thursday 7th November (on-site). If you require any reasonable adjustments, or have any questions/require flexibility regarding date/time, please contact Emily Birch at QuarterFive.
The Orpheus Centre are committed to advancing equality of opportunity, respecting and celebrating difference, eliminating discrimination, harassment and victimisation and fostering good relations between all who work, learn or use our services. We want to ensure we recruit the full diversity of people at Orpheus and all are able to reach their full potential.
Orpheus have five Diversity and Inclusion Champions: BAME, LGBTQIA+, Ability/Disability, Wellbeing, Family, and Menopause. Throughout the year, they work with staff to promote a positive environment and culture, so all can bring 100% of themselves to work.
The Orpheus Centre is proud to be a disability confident employer. They have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people. Reasonable adjustments will be made to the recruitment procedure as required in consultation with the applicant to ensure no-one is disadvantaged because of their disability. If a disabled person is selected for a position, reasonable adjustments will be made to the workplace, including premises and equipment, work duties and practices or policies, as appropriate. All disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role as set out in the role profile and person specification will be considered for an interview.

OPPORTUNITY:
This is a fabulous opportunity for a dynamic comms professional who knows how to use communications to drive change. We seek a climate communications lead who is keen to bring their skills in campaigns, narrative-shift, media and digital comms to the world of steel decarbonisation. The steel industry is a major driver of climate emissions and yet few in the industry feel urgency and few outside the industry know that. Your job will be to help us change that.
This is an international role in an international climate campaign organisation that challenges steelmakers and the wider industry. We seek a dynamic communications lead based in the Europe/Africa time zone, who will work closely with Asia-Pacific colleagues, lead delivery in Europe, and coordinate our comms work internationally.
ABOUT THE ORGANISATION
SteelWatch is an international climate campaign organisation established in June 2023, driving corporate accountability and action in the steel sector. Our vision is a steel industry that underpins a thriving zero emissions economy. Our priority is that the steel industry gets on track for a 1.5 degree trajectory this side of 2030.
We run corporate campaigns and challenge the global industry to replace complacency with urgent action. We currently focus heavily in Europe and Japan, with team members in UK/Europe and Asia Pacific timezones. As a young organisation, we are evolving, testing, and learning, and seek team members who will enjoy breaking new ground with us.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This role will combine three core elements: (1) ensuring coordination of SteelWatch communications activities, across all our multiple initiatives and timezones, ensuring great content, targeted reach, timeliness, coherence of message and coordinated plans; (2) ongoing and surge delivery of comms products and messages, such as media outreach, social media, thought pieces, particularly in Europe/Africa and sometimes US timezone. This will align with delivery of comms work in Japan/Asia led by colleagues in the region. (3) sharpening our communications strategy, our targets, and our ability to deliver our messages to the right people, shaped jointly with our Asia/Pacific based comms strategist.
The role requires coordination across the small and growing comms team, which is diverse in terms of experience level, region and expertise. It also requires hands-on delivery in your region/timezone and based on your own specialist skills. Media engagement is currently a gap we need to fill and an ideal candidate will lead and deliver our media work, as well as coordinating our wider comms. If the successful candidate excels in other strengths but not media, then we - and you - will need to build the team differently in terms of future recruits and consultants.
Responsibilities:
Coordination of the communication outputs and comms team resources
-
Ensure coordination and coherence of the overall SteelWatch editorial and content calendar, with co-management of comms planning, team meetings, and ongoing communications outputs.
-
Co-manage comms team resources, including identifying and bringing onboard additional capacity where necessary, to deliver on our fast evolving needs on communications.
Delivery of timely coherent comms outputs
-
Design the communication strategy and a range of creative outputs for our corporate campaigns, particularly the ones focused on Europe-based companies, in line with campaign’s theory of change.
-
Develop communications materials to shift the dominant narrative of the steel industry which may include data visualisation, rankings, storytelling etc.
-
Build and maintain strong relations with journalists in key media and trade media outlets, manage a database of journalists, and ensure regular flows of news/information to establish SteelWatch as a credible voice in steel decarbonisation.
-
Coordinate timely responsive comms outputs in relation to external news and events.
-
Coordinate with ally organisations, where relevant, to coordinate, input into, align and amplify their outputs
-
Collaborate with our Asia Comms strategist and other communications colleagues to ensure consistent, smooth and cohesive approaches to SteelWatch’s voice across the geographies and outputs.
Development of strategy and capacity
-
Working closely with our Asia comms strategist, develop our messaging, tone of voice, and overall approach to comms as a driver of change.
-
Build organisational capacity to articulate and challenge narratives in and around the steel industry and to influence others with our point of view.
-
Analyse data and insights and develop segmentation and understanding of audiences needed to achieve our change goals.
-
Commission and manage external expert inputs as needed.
-
Develop and incorporate ongoing learning into communications strategy
-
Other responsibilities assigned by the Director
