Flexibility is important as travel will be required and delivery sessions may take place after normal school hours.

Uniting to Combat NTDs are looking for an exceptional administrator and coordinator to provide complex logistical support to the Uniting team and governance groups.

Salary: circa £33,000 per annum

Location: UK Remote, with quarterly travel to Brighton

Contract: Fixed Term Contract to December 2025 with possibility of extension, funding dependent.

Hours: This is a full-time role with some flexibility around hours worked

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of preventable and treatable diseases that affect about 1.65 billion people around the world. The World Health Organization currently recognises twenty diseases as NTDs.

Uniting to Combat NTDs is a global advocacy organisation that exists to end NTDs by mobilising resources in support of the World Health Organization's NTD road map and the Sustainable Development Goals. We envision a world where no-one suffers from these preventable and treatable diseases. We are hosted by Sightsavers and offer a great place to work.

In February 2023, we conducted a mid-term review of our 2021-2030 strategy to assess its continued relevance in light of the substantial global challenges that have emerged since its inception. While we re-affirmed the strategy's continued importance, we recognized the imperative of intensifying our efforts in resource mobilisation to address persistent funding gaps, the absence of dependable, long-term funding mechanisms for global NTD programs, and significant changes to the global health architecture.

Our target over the next five years is to mobilise over US$2bn towards the WHO NTD road map from a range of sources, existing and new, including from donor governments, multi-lateral development banks, affected countries, and innovative financing. Our success will be measured by the volume of funding we are able to mobilise for countries and individuals affected by NTDs.

About the role

We are looking for an exceptional administrator and coordinator to provide complex logistical support across the Uniting to Combat NTDs team and governance groups, including on major projects, events and communications activities.

The Applied platform also asks some demographic questions before you start your application.  We at Into Film never see the responses to these demographic questions with your application. We only see summary statistics to help us check if our candidate pool is balanced and if everyone has an equal chance to get hired irrespective of their background. If you prefer, you can easily opt out of answering these questions.

About us

We are a provider of creative digital content for Catholic schools throughout England and Wales, with an ambition to expand our work into new areas. We use story - drama, narration, personal testimony - to speak to the hearts and minds of children and young people about the issues that most matter to them and most impact their lives. Presented through a Catholic lens, our programmes help pupils to navigate the complexities they experience growing up.

Our vision is a world where children and young people, alongside their teachers and parents, discover ‘life to the full’. Our mission is to nurture spiritual growth, personal development and social responsibility by sharing inspiring creative content through a Catholic lens. And our values flow from respect for the innate dignity and worth of every person, made in God’s image. 

The Role

We now seek a Director of Business and Finance to join our small Senior Leadership Team and provide business leadership to the next phase of our growth. We are fortunate to have a strong business model that is underpinned by a team of 12 fantastically talented staff. Your role will be to ensure that organisational decision-making and growth is guided by strong financial thinking, principles and planning, and strategic discipline.

The Person 

You will bring business leadership experience in an organisation at least of similar size and complexity, ideally in a growth context. You'll enjoy working in a rigorous but vibrant, creative culture, and will have a clear and demonstrable appreciation for the Christian and/or Catholic tradition and what it offers. This will lead to a passion for bringing the depth and richness of the Catholic vision to our culture and for helping children, young people, teachers and parents discover how to 'live life to the full'.
