About Worldwide Radiology

Worldwide Radiology is a UK registered charity working to improve access to high-quality diagnostic imaging in low- and middle-income countries.

Working alongside hospitals, universities and health partners around the world, we develop practical, sustainable solutions that strengthen radiology services and improve patient care. Much of our work is delivered through a global network of volunteers and long-term partnerships.

We're at an exciting stage in our development. Over recent years our fundraising income has grown significantly, but we're now looking to broaden and strengthen our funding base so we can increase our impact.

This new role offers the opportunity to become Worldwide Radiology's dedicated fundraising lead, helping shape the next stage of the organisation's growth.

About the Role

This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious fundraiser ready to take the next step in their career and take ownership of fundraising within a growing charity.

As Worldwide Radiology's dedicated fundraising professional, you will lead our day-to-day fundraising activity across community fundraising, individual giving and trusts and foundations. You'll be responsible for planning and delivering fundraising campaigns, stewarding donors and writing funding applications that help sustain and grow our work.

You'll also support the CEO and Programmes Lead in developing larger strategic partnerships with major funders and corporate partners through research, proposal coordination and pipeline management.

Unlike many early-career fundraising roles, this position offers genuine ownership from early on. You'll lead fundraising across your portfolio while working closely with colleagues who have experience securing grants and developing partnerships, giving you the support and mentoring to develop your skills and confidence.

While we expect to appoint a Development Manager on a part-time basis, we also recognise that an experienced fundraising consultant may bring a different but equally valuable skillset. We're therefore open to considering either model, provided the successful candidate can take ownership of our fundraising programme and help build the systems, relationships and pipeline needed to support Worldwide Radiology's long-term growth.

What Success Looks Like

● Lead successful delivery of WWR's community fundraising programme, including the Big Give Christmas Challenge and other supporter campaigns.

● Develop and manage a healthy pipeline of trust and foundation applications.

• Managing relationships with existing trust funders and individual donors, including stewardship and reporting.

• Developing opportunities to grow our supporter base and increase donor retention.

• Maintaining accurate fundraising records, donor data and reporting.

• Monitoring fundraising activity and providing regular updates to the CEO.

• Supporting the development of fundraising plans and identifying new income opportunities.

Partnerships (Support)

Working alongside the CEO and Programmes Lead, you will:

• Research prospective major trusts, foundations and corporate partners.

• Prepare briefing papers and background research ahead of meetings.

• Coordinate development of larger funding proposals by gathering information, managing timelines and tracking actions.

• Maintain the strategic funding pipeline and prospect tracker.

• Support follow-up from meetings, conferences and partnership discussions.

We're committed to supporting your professional development through mentoring, networking opportunities and relevant fundraising training, helping you build the skills and experience to progress your fundraising career.

• Based in Bournemouth
• Regular travel across BCP and Dorset
• Hybrid working available when not attending visits, meetings or appointments

 

Hours:

• 37.5 hours per week
• Monday–Friday, 9am–5pm

 

Salary: £26,796.90 per annum

International Care Network (ICN) is a Christian charity walking alongside refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants as they rebuild their lives in the UK. Every day, we see people overcome enormous challenges, develop new skills, build connections and create brighter futures and you could be part of that journey.

We're looking for a compassionate, proactive and organised Refugee Resettlement Support Worker to join our Resettlement Team and support individuals and families arriving through Government resettlement schemes. The role is predominantly focused on families resettled from Afghanistan, although support may be provided to people arriving through other schemes as well.

What you'll be doing

You'll work directly alongside refugee families as they settle into life in Bournemouth, Christchurch, Poole and wider Dorset, helping them navigate unfamiliar systems, access services and become active members of their new communities.

Your work will include:

• Supporting individuals and families with housing, utilities and practical day-to-day needs
• Helping people access healthcare, education, benefits and other key services
• Supporting access to ESOL classes, volunteering and employment opportunities

• Helping families build confidence, independence and connections within their local communities

· Working closely with local authorities, schools, health professionals, volunteers and other partners

· Assisting with the preparation of homes prior to new arrivals moving in

No two days are the same. One day you might be helping a family register with a GP, supporting a parent at a school meeting, or helping someone navigate the benefits system. The next, you could be preparing a property for a newly arrived family or working with local partners to ensure the right support is in place.

Why this role matters

Moving to a new country after experiencing conflict, persecution or displacement can be overwhelming.

This role helps people rebuild their lives with dignity, confidence and hope. You'll play a key part in helping families settle safely, access opportunities, understand their new community and begin to thrive.

From supporting a child starting school for the first time, to helping a family access healthcare or secure employment, your work will have a direct and lasting impact.

Who we're looking for

You'll thrive in this role if you:

• Have experience supporting vulnerable individuals or families
• Are compassionate, practical and solution-focused
• Can build positive relationships with people from diverse backgrounds
• Are confident working independently and managing your own caseload
• Have strong organisational and administrative skills
• Are able to maintain professional boundaries while working in a supportive and person-centred way
• Have excellent communication skills
• Are comfortable working collaboratively with a range of agencies and professionals
• Share our commitment to supporting refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants
• Are supportive of ICN's Christian ethos and values

Experience of working with refugees, asylum seekers, local authorities or resettlement programmes would be advantageous, but is not essential.

Essential requirements

· Full UK driving licence

· Own reliable vehicle

· Confidence driving across BCP and Dorset

· Willingness to obtain and maintain appropriate business insurance

· Eligibility to work in the UK

· Ability to obtain an Enhanced DBS check

Why join ICN?

ICN is a friendly, ambitious and values-driven charity where relationships matter and everyone's contribution is valued.

You'll be joining a passionate team committed to creating communities where refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants can belong, flourish and rebuild their lives. As our services continue to grow, you'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to people facing significant challenges and uncertainty.

What we offer

• Salary of £26,796.90 per annum
• 25 days' annual leave plus 8 bank holidays
• Company pension scheme
• Mileage paid at 45p per mile for work-related travel
• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
• Ongoing training and development opportunities

About NCB

For more than 60 years, the National Children’s Bureau has championed the rights and amplified the voice of children and young people in the UK. We interrogate policy and uncover evidence, blending in lived and learnt experience to shape future legislation and develop more effective ways of supporting children and families.

Contract: 2-year 9-months Fixed Term
Salary: £28,000 per annum
Location: Overstream House, Cambridge CB4 or at other locations within Cambridge

About Us 

Wintercomfort works with people who are homeless, at risk of homelessness or with a history of homelessness. We provide services to aid every stage of recovery - from immediate basic welfare needs to long term help in identifying and dealing with the problems which are undermining their stability, and enabling them to engage with education, employment and specialist health services.  National statistics rank the numbers of rough sleepers in Cambridge within the highest 20 UK local authorities.

Wintercomfort is the only day-time service in the city, providing year-round advice and support for homeless or vulnerably housed people. Over the past three decades Wintercomfort has continued to grow and adapt to meet the needs of the homeless community.

Our specialist Housing Team provides expert advice and support to help people successfully navigate the search for housing and crucially, support them to sustain life away from the street.

About you and the Role 

The Tenancy Sustainment Project Worker will provide targeted, practical and relational support to individuals who have recently secured accommodation or who are at risk of losing their tenancy. This is an outreach-focused role, working proactively with people in community settings, partner agencies, drop-ins and other accessible locations to maintain engagement and offer support where it is most appropriate.

The role may occasionally involve contact in or around accommodation settings, but this would usually be planned and supported alongside other services where appropriate. The role will focus on preventing repeat homelessness by helping people stabilise their housing, understand and manage the responsibilities of a tenancy, and build the confidence and skills needed for independent living. Working in trusted community settings and in partnership with statutory and voluntary sector services, the postholder will act as a critical bridge between vulnerable individuals and the support systems available to them.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide outreach-based casework and practical tenancy support, working one-to-one with people who have recently moved into accommodation or who are at risk of tenancy breakdown, including proactive engagement in community settings, partner agencies, drop-ins and other accessible locations. Where accommodation-based contact is required, this would usually be planned in advance and supported alongside other services where appropriate.
• Support clients with the practical responsibilities of sustaining a tenancy, including rent payments, benefits, income, household bills, budgeting, financial planning, accessing furniture grants, home furnishing schemes and other resources needed to establish a safe and settled home.
• Develop clients’ independent living skills and confidence, helping them build routines, manage their home, solve problems, understand tenancy expectations and gain the skills needed to live independently over the longer term.
• Provide housing information, homelessness prevention support and advocacy, supporting clients to understand their rights and responsibilities and liaising with landlords, relevant local authorities and local authority housing services where there is a risk of eviction or difficulty navigating housing systems.
• Connect clients with wider welfare, specialist and community support, including benefits guidance, financial information, employment and training opportunities, Wintercomfort’s wider services, and specialist partners such as legal aid services where appropriate.
• Work collaboratively and maintain effective outreach casework practice, building trusted relationships with people experiencing housing crisis, poor mental health or disengagement from services, using proactive and flexible engagement methods to maintain contact, while keeping accurate records and contributing to monitoring the impact of tenancy sustainment support.
• To ensure that accurate records are kept, documenting the support services provided to Wintercomfort’s service users on Inform. Ensuring that record keeping meets the requirements of internal and external monitoring of outcomes, assisting with reports and deliver impactful case studies to funders.

One of our core values at Wintercomfort is to recognise and reward our staff as our greatest asset. We realise that it's our people who have helped us to become a well-respected charity that helps to make a positive change to homeless people’s lives. We want to continue to deliver excellent, relevant services for the homeless in Cambridge by attracting and retaining talented and motivated people.

If you choose to come and work with us, you will find that we offer: 

• Benefits – You will be eligible for benefits and services, including pension scheme, death in service benefit and free counselling and clinical supervision. 
• A supported work environment – You will receive a comprehensive induction, and you will have a probation period to provide a supportive framework for reviewing your progress and discussing your training and development needs. You will be expected to have developed the skills to fulfil all role requirements within this period. Appropriate objectives will be discussed, agreed and reviewed regularly with your Line Manager so that your performance can be measured against these. 
• Training – We recognise the importance of having a motivated and effective staff team. We offer on-going training to support you in your role.

Become is the national charity fighting alongside children and young people for a better care system. We believe care-experienced young people should have the same chances as everyone else to live happy and fulfilled lives. But today, that’s far from the reality. The care system is in crisis and there are more children in care than ever before. They aren’t getting the love, support and stability that all young people need.

It’s not good enough.

We’re in a strong position to respond and it’s an exciting moment to be joining us. We’ve grown in recent years and have clear plans for the future.

As the Marketing and Communications Manager, you’ll lead the day-to-day delivery of our marketing and communications work. You’ll turn ideas into action, delivering engaging campaigns, compelling storytelling and consistent communications across all our channels. Working closely with the team across Become, external stakeholders and care-experienced young people to grow our reach, you'll build brand trust and strengthen our position as the national voice for care-experienced young people.

We're looking for someone with a strong background in digital marketing, an eye for design and a passion for amplifying young people’s voices. A natural collaborator, you’ll enjoy working in a dynamic environment that encourages proactive thinking, experimentation and ongoing learning.

Location

Our team work remotely from home, with some required in-person meetings (generally expected once or twice per month). In-person meetings usually take place in our office space in Old Street, London and Become covers the cost of travel within Great Britain for essential in-person meetings.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

As an organisation serving children in care and young care leavers, we’re keen to receive applications from people with lived experience of care. We are actively seeking to bring diversity of perspectives and experience, and especially welcome applications from those from racially-minoritised communities. We ask all applicants to fill in an Equity and Diversity Monitoring form to better understand the diversity of applicants. This is optional, and anonymous and it will not be connected with your application.

• Upload your up-to-date CV.
• Provide your answer to each competency question, using between100 and 400 words per answer. Please ensure you provide relevant examples that demonstrate how you meet the required skills and experiences as outlined in the job advert and description.

We also ask you to complete the Equity and Diversity Monitoring Form (this is not compulsory, but can help us identify areas we need to look at within our processes).

The competency questions we would like you to answer as part of the application form (using between 100 and 400 words per answer) are:

1. Tell us about a marketing and communications campaign that you’ve delivered to drive change. How did you measure its impact?
2. Give an example of when you’ve introduced new digital tools to your team. What were the opportunities and risks?
3. Tell us about a time when you’ve supported people whose voices are underrepresented to have their stories heard. What were the key considerations when providing this support?
4. We’re a busy team managing proactive and reactive work. Give an example of how you’ve supported a team member’s development alongside competing priorities.
5. What is your motivation to work for Become and why are you interested in working for an organisation that supports care-experienced children and young people?

If you have any questions about the role, please contact Victoria Wilson, Head of Marketing and Communications by e-mail (see Become website for contact form).

Location: Bognor Regis and Chichester, with flexible and hybrid working available
Working pattern: Permanent, part-time (27 hours per week)

Help Shape the Future of a Charity Changing Women's Lives

At My Sisters' House Women's Centre, we believe every woman deserves the opportunity to live free from abuse, rebuild her confidence, and create a safer future for herself and her family.

For more than 14 years, we have supported women across West Sussex facing domestic abuse, trauma, poor mental health, multiple disadvantage, and complex life challenges. Around 2,000 women turn to us each year at a time of crisis or hardship, and our trauma-informed services provide practical support, advocacy, counselling, wellbeing activities, and pathways to long-term recovery.

We're now looking for an experienced Head of Finance to join our Executive Team and help keep our organisation financially strong, sustainable and ambitious for the women we serve. This is more than a finance role — it's an opportunity to play a key part in an organisation where every decision contributes to improving women's safety, wellbeing and life chances.

The Role

Overseeing an annual budget of circa £1m, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for all aspects of MSH's financial management. Working closely with the CEO, Board of Trustees, Finance Committee and Senior Leadership Team, you will help guide financial decision-making and ensure resources are used effectively to maximise impact.

You will lead the day-to-day finance function, including line management of one part-time Finance Officer, while contributing to the wider strategic development of the charity. This role suits someone comfortable with both the detail and the bigger picture — producing management accounts, overseeing financial controls and audit processes, and contributing to strategic discussions about future services, funding and organisational development.

What You'll Be Doing

• Leading and managing the charity's finance function.
• Producing accurate and timely management accounts, forecasts and financial reports.
• Supporting the CEO, Finance Committee and Board of Trustees with financial insight and strategic advice.
• Leading budget-setting, monitoring and long-term financial planning.
• Managing cash flow, reserves and financial risk.
• Supporting funding applications, tenders and grant reporting with robust financial modelling.
• Ensuring effective financial controls, systems, policies and compliance arrangements are in place.
• Leading the annual audit process and preparation of statutory accounts.
• Overseeing payroll and pension processes.
• Supporting budget holders to understand and manage their budgets confidently.
• Identifying opportunities for efficiencies, improvement and sustainable growth.

What You'll Bring

• Significant experience in a senior finance role within the charity, public or not-for-profit sector, or a comparable environment.
• A professional finance qualification such as ACCA, CIMA or ACA, or qualified by experience with equivalent demonstrable financial management ability.
• Strong expertise in management accounting, budgeting, forecasting, financial controls and reporting.
• Experience working with auditors, trustees and senior stakeholders.
• The ability to translate financial information into clear, practical advice for non-finance colleagues.
• Excellent analytical, organisational and problem-solving skills.
• Experience leading and developing finance systems and processes.
• Most importantly, a belief in the power of specialist women's services and motivation to make a difference through your work.

What's on Offer

• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
• A supportive and inclusive workplace culture.
• 28 days annual leave plus Bank Holidays (pro rata).
• Employer pension contribution of 3%.
• Employee Assistance Programme.
• The opportunity to influence key strategic decisions.
• A meaningful role where your expertise directly contributes to saving lives.
• Ongoing professional development opportunities.
• The chance to be part of a respected charity with strong local partnerships and a growing reputation for innovation and excellence.

Additional Information

Please note: this post is open to women only under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 3, Paragraph 27, and Schedule 9, Part 1, as a Genuine Occupational Requirement. Given the nature of the specialist services supporting women affected by domestic abuse, trauma and violence against women and girls, being a woman is an occupational requirement for this role.

Closing date: Friday 4th September 2026, 5.00pm. Applications may close sooner if an ideal candidate is found beforehand.

Interviews will take place the week commencing 7th September 2026, and a candidate's notice period will be taken into account regarding a realistic start date.

My Sisters' House Women's Centre is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of adults, young women and children. All appointments are subject to appropriate DBS checks. MSH is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from all backgrounds and communities.

You will also support a wide range of teams at UWLSU to support cross organisational projects.

We are looking for a dynamic, determined individual who is excited about higher education.

You will be driven by our mission to disrupt inequality and our values will resonate strongly with you, which are: collaborative; committed; empowering; informed; inclusive; innovative. 

The Talent Set is delighted to be partnering with the Henry Smith Foundation on the recruitment of a newly created Head of Digital Transformation role. This is a unique opportunity to lead a significant organisation-wide transformation programme and help shape how one of the UK's leading independent foundations uses digital, data and technology to maximise its impact.

As the Foundation continues to grow and evolve, it has recognised the need for a strategic leader who can bring together systems, data, technology and people into a clear and ambitious digital vision. This is an opportunity to build and lead a digital transformation agenda from the ground up, working closely with senior leaders, trustees, colleagues and external partners to create a more connected, data-informed and future-ready organisation.

The Opportunity

The Foundation has grown significantly over the last decade, with increasing organisational ambition and a more complex operating environment. Alongside core grant-making activities, the organisation has developed new programmes, partnerships and ways of working that require a more strategic approach to technology and data. While many systems and processes work well individually, the organisation is now seeking someone who can create a joined-up digital strategy that supports its long-term goals.

Reporting to the Director of Finance, Investments and Resources, you will lead the Foundation's digital, data and technology transformation programme. You will define and deliver a multi-year roadmap, oversee key technology and systems projects, and build digital capability across the organisation. Most importantly, you will help colleagues embrace change and ensure digital becomes part of how the organisation thinks and works every day.

This role offers a rare combination of strategic influence and practical delivery. The successful candidate will shape major decisions around systems, data, AI and organisational capability, whilst also working closely with colleagues to ensure solutions are adopted, embedded and delivering measurable benefits.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the development and delivery of the Foundation's digital, data and technology strategy and transformation roadmap.
• Drive organisation-wide improvements in systems, processes, data management and digital capability.
• Lead digital transformation projects from concept through to implementation and adoption.
• Champion effective use of technology, including Microsoft 365 tools, collaboration platforms and emerging AI opportunities.
• Build strong relationships across the organisation and act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders and stakeholders.
• Support colleagues through change by providing leadership, communication, training and coaching.
• Manage suppliers, consultants and implementation partners to ensure successful delivery of digital initiatives.
• Line manage the IT and Data Compliance Manager and provide strategic oversight of digital operations and governance.
• Create a culture of continuous improvement, innovation and digital confidence.

About You
We're keen to hear from candidates who have successfully led digital transformation programmes and understand that meaningful change is ultimately about people as much as technology.
You might currently be a Head of Digital, Head of Transformation, Digital Programme Lead, Technology Transformation Leader or similar, and will likely bring:

• A proven track record of leading organisation-wide digital transformation initiatives.
• Experience developing and delivering digital strategies and multi-year transformation roadmaps.
• Strong stakeholder engagement and influencing skills, with the ability to build credibility at all levels.
• Experience leading change, improving adoption of technology and developing digital capability across teams.
• The confidence to operate strategically whilst remaining hands-on when required.
• Strong project, programme and supplier management experience.
• The ability to translate complex technical concepts into practical, engaging and accessible conversations.
• A collaborative and relationship-focused approach, combined with resilience, pragmatism and curiosity.

The Foundation is particularly interested in candidates who can balance strategic thinking with practical delivery, and who understand how to introduce change at a pace that brings people with them rather than leaving them behind.

What's on Offer?
Salary: £67,000 - £70,000 per annum
Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week (Part Time considered)
Contract: Permanent
Location: Hybrid, Attendance is expected at least 1 day per week in the Kings Cross office, but with some variation.
