Fundraising Lead  (Part-time, fixed-term contract)

Peers for the Planet (P4P) is the House of Lords cross-party climate and biodiversity action group bringing together over 160 members of the Lords to put climate change and biodiversity loss at the top of the political agenda. Since our launch in 2020 we’ve seen exciting momentum, building cross-party collaboration and winning world-leading legislative changes to  embed climate and nature requirements in areas as diverse as financial markets, pensions, energy, health, skills, R&D, built environment and much more.

• Craft and coordinate compelling funding bids, drawing on the expertise of staff

• Work closely with the Board and staff to understand and build on pre-existing relationships with donors, Trustees and senior leaders at relevant trusts and foundations
• Undertake prospect research to identify new potential funders
• Deepen existing connections with the broader fundraising community, both within the climate/nature funders community but also in related/overlapping sectors
• Work with the Policy and Communications Lead to ensure that P4P’s organisational comms are compelling and meaningful for a broad spectrum of potential grant makers or donors
• Organise fundraising events

Insight & opportunity:

• Maintain latest insights on trends and issues, as well as on specific grant opportunities and other potential income streams, both in the climate funding sector and related/overlapping policy areas (health, finance, science, skills etc)
• Develop and maintain a thorough understanding of the opportunities for P4P to drive positive change for climate and nature in order to identify new funding opportunities

Operations & finance:

• In collaboration with our Finance and Operations Manager, develop and maintain a thorough understanding of organisational budgets, funding gaps, resourcing requirements, and income targets in the short, medium and long term
• Coordinate reporting and monitoring for all grants and lead on maintaining our funder database

• Lead internal fundraising meetings with relevant colleagues/directors to support development, implementation and evaluation of our fundraising plans
• Take responsibility for internal training to embed fundraising skills across the team

About Us  

Our client is the central charity which supports the federation of 46 independent Trusts working for nature’s recovery across the UK, Alderney and the Isle of Man. The Trusts’ vision is of a thriving natural world, with abundant wildlife and healthy natural habitats playing a valued role in addressing the climate and ecological emergencies, and everyone inspired to take action for nature’s recovery. 

Collectively, The Trusts have more than 900,000 members, employ 3,500 staff, look after over 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. The role of the trust is to ensure a strong voice for wildlife at a UK level and to provide strategic leadership, support and development for The Trusts. They provide shared expertise in areas such as climate change, digital fundraising, nature-based solutions, policy and safeguarding. They facilitate UK-wide communities of practice to share learning and replicate successful approaches so that together they are more than the sum of their parts. They support the individual Trusts to be a strong force for nature in their local areas and to work together to achieve even greater impact as a collective. 

The Trusts are on a mission to bring about a people-powered nature and climate recovery by empowering people to take meaningful action for nature, and to create an inclusive society where nature matters to everyone, everywhere. They are ambitious in their desire not just to slow, but to reverse the declines in nature. 

Central to their strategy are their three goals which set out what they are striving to achieve by 2030 in pursuit of their vision of a thriving natural world. Goal 1 is to put nature into recovery with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder land and seascapes where people and nature thrive. Goal 2 is to inspire people to take action for nature and climate, resulting in better decision-making for the environment at both the local level and across the four UK nations. And Goal 3 is to enable nature to play a central and valued role in helping to address local and global problems, such as by helping tackle climate change and supporting wellbeing and education. 

Achieving these ambitious objectives means that they must develop new ways of working which increase the scale and impact of their work. Therefore, they have embarked on a programme of strategic transformations that are essential to achieving our goals, and which will result in a stronger and more effective Trust movement for the long term. Our cleint are leading the transformation programme across The Trusts including in community organising, equality, diversity and inclusion, and funding nature’s recovery. The Trusts have existed for over 100 years thanks to a strong membership base and traditional fundraising activities. 

About You

Do you want to be part of a team leading the field in the development of large-scale nature restoration projects driven by private and public investment into nature’s recovery? 

In Wales, the Trusts are setting an ambition to scale up and increase the pace of natures recovery. They have a proven track record of delivering nature conservation projects. However, they now need to scale this to all Wales programmes. They now have support teams from political advocacy, green financing and corporate engagement to match our unique ability to deliver nature restoration at the local level. In the past 18 months, The Trusts have been developing new approaches to funding nature’s recovery from the private sector as well as maintaining close links with funders. These are exciting times and they are building on their unique position to develop major programmes with partners across Wales. 

They need dedicated expertise and capacity to work with Trusts to bring this work into coherent programmes and develop models and plans that build revenues for nature’s recovery allowing much greater investment. This post is designed to provide the expertise and capacity to work alongside Trust staff who are already committed to developing these programmes. 

You will be from a nature restoration background with an ambition to drive forward a step change in scale and pace of action. You will be organised and motivated, able to take the initiative and lead the effective delivery of nature restoration programme development in Wales. You will have an understanding of issues facing nature. You will likely have experience in project development work and, ideally, an understanding of Welsh partners. You are used to keeping accurate records and can present clearly and professionally. You will be a great communicator, with a personable style who can work with many different people across the wonderful variety of geography and activities of the Trusts. 

You relish challenging the status quo and problem-solving. This is a new and ambitious role which will evolve following your appointment so you should be excited by the flexibility and opportunities to take an innovative approach.

Are you passionate about making a real difference to the lives of healthcare professionals? Are you a highly organised and proactive individual with the ability to juggle multiple responsibilities and work effectively within a small team?

Charity People are delighted to be supporting Doctors in Distress, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental health and well-being of healthcare workers, to recruit an Operations Assistant to join their dedicated and collaborative team.

Doctors in Distress was founded in 2018 by Amandip Sidhu following the suicide of his brother Jagdip. Jagdip was a consultant cardiologist. He was overworked, burned out and felt he had nowhere to turn. He believed taking his life was the only answer. Amandip established the charity so no other healthcare worker would have to experience the same pain as Jagdip.

Healthcare workers are facing immense pressure. A 2023 survey showed that 34% of staff were suffering from burnout and 37.4% were emotionally exhausted because of work. The mental impact of the pandemic is still being felt by many, on a daily basis. Doctors in Distress is committed to reducing burnout and distress through support programmes and campaigns.

The Operations Assistant will play a key role in ensuring the smooth operation of Doctors in Distress, managing a range of administrative functions across programmes, operations, marketing and communications, finance, and campaigning activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Online Programmes: You will coordinate programme delivery, manage speakers and registrations, and gather feedback.
• Operations: You will manage the main inbox, support financial tasks, assist with IT and CRM management.
• Campaign Support: You will contribute to impactful campaigns, such as the National Memorial Tree Campaign.

The Operations Assistant will have 3-5 years of administrative experience and strong organisational, multitasking, and communication skills. The successful candidate will be proficient in CRM systems (Beacon or similar) and experienced in using Microsoft Office, including Teams, and with experience using Zoom. You will be proactive, self-motivated, and detail-oriented and capable of managing multiple priorities. The successful candidate will also be empathetic towards healthcare professionals' challenges.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work flexibly from home while being part of a dynamic team. You'll play a key role in operations, from supporting vital mental health programmes to contributing to impactful campaigns. You will enjoy the benefits of a hybrid work model, a supportive environment, and the chance to make a meaningful impact every day.
