About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm.

As Business Development Lead, you will drive the growth and diversification of the Human Leadership Academy's charitable income. You'll lead the business development strategy, identify and cultivate new funding opportunities, and build strong partnerships that enhance HLA's financial sustainability and long-term impact.

To be successful, it is important that you have:
- Significant experience in institutional and/or philanthropic fundraising, with a proven track record of generating substantial income.
- Strong ability to build partnerships and develop compelling, fundable proposals with clear budgets and value propositions.
- Excellent account management skills with partners and donors across diverse sectors, including governments, institutions, private foundations and corporates such as the Clinton Foundation, Google, AWS, and ECHO, with particular experience in working with FCDO and other institutional donors.

- We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
- We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day.
Closing date: 5th January 2026

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.
This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.

We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.

As Store Manager, you will lead the day-to-day running of our Byres Road shop – one of our busiest locations with a large, diverse volunteer base and a vibrant student customer demographic. You will build and develop a motivated volunteer team, champion retail excellence, and deliver a shop offer that reflects both Save the Children's brand and the local community.
You'll be responsible for creating an inclusive, welcoming environment, managing a fast-paced operation across a large shop floor and basement sorting area, and driving commercial performance through excellent merchandising, strong local engagement, and a focus on income growth. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives on people leadership, enjoys shaping a space from the ground up, and is excited by the challenge of leading a busy, dynamic charity retail environment.
In this role, you will:
- Build, inspire and support a large team of volunteers (currently 40+), ensuring they feel valued, motivated and empowered to deliver excellent service.
- Lead ongoing volunteer recruitment in a location with high application volumes, ensuring the right skills and roles are in place to support the shop's ambitions.
- Deliver retail excellence through effective operational management, including stock flow, merchandising, use of guidance/tools, and maintaining our shop proposition.

- Engage proactively with the Byres Road community and act as a Save the Children ambassador, ensuring our shop stands out amid strong local charity retail competition.
- Maintain high standards of safeguarding, compliance and risk management, ensuring all policies and procedures are followed.
About you
To be successful, it is important that you have:
- Proven leadership experience within a retail or volunteer-led environment, with the ability to build trusted, positive relationships.
- Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage a busy shop and a constant flow of new volunteers.
- Confident IT capability, including MS Office, email, Teams and management systems.
- Excellent customer service skills and the ability to create a welcoming, inclusive environment for volunteers and customers alike.
- A self-motivated, flexible and resilient approach, able to work at pace and adapt to change.
- A commitment to Save the Children's vision, mission, and values.
What we offer you
Working for a charity provides one of the best benefits there is – a sense of purpose and reward for helping others. However, we understand the importance of giving back to our employees to ensure a happy and healthy working environment and work/life balance.
- We focus on flexibility, inclusion, collaboration, health and wellbeing both in and outside of work.
- We provide a wide range of benefits which will reward your hard work, motivate you, and inspire you to work to improve the lives of children every day. You can read more about our benefits here.

We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
