Location: UK Remote, with quarterly travel to Brighton

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

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 Resilience Project:

People around the world are trying to cope with the climate crisis, extreme weather, burnout, isolation and climate anxiety. The Resilience Project is a youth-led organisation resourcing young people and leaders of all ages to become effective and resilient climate changemakers for a sustainable future. We enable people taking action for the planet to find their voice, people and power. Our vision is a resilient changemaking culture, where kinship and compassion are embedded within the fabric of changemaking communities.

Blue Marine Foundation seeks to protect and restore life in the ocean, aiming to see at least 30 per cent of the world’s oceans protected by 2030.  We are a dynamic NGO at the heart of cutting-edge marine conservation, headquartered in London but operating globally with around 50 projects in 25 countries around the world.  

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Executive Assistant to join Blue Marine with a focus on optimising our ability to deliver conservation through supporting the CEO and senior leadership team with facilitation, coordination and logistics.

Hours: Full-time, 35 hours per week. Standard working hours are Monday – Friday, 9am - 5pm but flexibility is encouraged, particularly when supporting global travel arrangements. Part-time applications may also be considered.

Location: Remote, although working from our London office at Somerset House is also possible.
