Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family.

Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.

You will ensure reliable and accurate financial reporting for the charity, oversee finance projects, and establish a proportionate, robust risk and governance framework.

As a strategic leader, you will contribute to the overarching strategy for Finance and Corporate Services, collaborating with the director to develop and implement the Finance and Governance strategy, ensuring this aligns with the Dementia UK’s organisational goals and translate into clear, measurable targets. Collaboration with the fundraising and program teams will also be essential to ensure accurate financial management of grants and donations.

A strong working knowledge of Charity Commission and SORP reporting requirements is essential, along with experience in creating and implementing strategic finance initiatives.

Trusts Fundraiser

Hours: 35 hours a week. Flexible working considered.

Salary: £40,553 - £44,822

Contract: Permanent

Location: London (with hybrid working options)

More than one in four children is growing up in poverty in the UK. It doesn’t have to be this way. If you have a track record in trusts fundraising and believe in tackling social and economic injustice, then you could play an important role in helping Child Poverty Action Group deliver on its mission.

CPAG’s grant income from trusts, foundations, and some statutory income has grown significantly to nearly £2 million annually. The Trusts Fundraiser will work with the Head of Fundraising to expand the pipeline, raise restricted and unrestricted grant income, and build relations with funders.

You will have outstanding communication skills, a highly organised approach to work, strong self-motivation and enjoy working in a small team.

We understand that many people, especially people who identify as women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds or from other underrepresented groups, only apply for jobs when they believe they match all the criteria. If you don’t meet all the criteria in the person specification and want to play a role in helping to tackle UK child poverty, please consider applying.

We operate a hybrid working system and would be happy to discuss any flexibilities required. CPAG is committed to equity, diversity and inclusion which you can read more about in the job pack.

For more information about this post and to apply download the Trusts Fundraiser job pack and application form.

If you have questions or need specific arrangements or reasonable adjustments to take part in the selection process please contact us at the email address listed in the application pack.

Closing date for applications: 9am, Monday 18th November 2024

Interviews will be held in London on: Monday 25th and Wednesday 27th November 2024

As an IDVA, you will be able to effectively work with men experiencing domestic abuse, and supporting them to increase their safety and reduce harm. You will be providing high-quality, front-line service to prioritise risk, primarily focusing on males aged 18+.

Due to the funding of this job role, you will need to be willing to travel to different Boroughs within London and carry out lone working to spread and raise awareness of the DAVE Team, meeting with other services to create partnership working to ensure our clients receive the best ‘wrap around support’.

Are you looking to do things differently? Phew, so are we. For too long, we've looked on social media and, if we're being honest, email communications too, as the nasally, awkward cousin who's great when you play family Trivial Pursuit each Boxing Day but the rest of the time is tolerated just because he's a blood relative (allegedly).

We used the above introduction when we recently advertised for a Social Media and Email Communications Manager and we ended up hiring an absolute gem. So, we’re going to use it all over again as we look to hire a Digital Communications Specialist who will report into our new gem.

As your manager’s title suggests your focus will be on BMS World Mission’s social media channels and suite of supporter and church-facing emails and you will be working within the Communications Team within the Department of Communications and Fundraising.

Both this role and your boss’ role are new creations – we are in the mood to experiment. We know enough to know what we don't know (and we've commissioned a detailed social media and email audit report to tell us the rest) and we dream plenty big enough to know there's so much more we could do. We just need to find the right person to measure the chemicals, heat the Bunsen burner, mix the liquids and holler with glee when the latest experiment shatters the test tube and creates gold. Could that be you?

BMS is a Christian mission organisation founded in 1792, today we work in around 30 countries over four continents. We are passionate about making Jesus known across the world and transforming the lives of those we serve.

Without donations, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity can’t help fund ground-breaking research, advanced equipment, child and family support services, and the rebuilding and refurbishment of wards and medical facilities. Our staff help to raise these vital funds for the hospital. A better future for seriously ill children starts with you.
 

Along with being awarded the ‘Sunday Times Best Places to Work 2023’, we were delighted to be recently awarded the 'Charity Times Fundraising Team of the Year 2023.'  
 

Our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
 

A more diverse workforce will enable us to deliver even more impact and we particularly encourage applications from communities which are under-represented in the charity. This includes people from ethnically diverse backgrounds, disabled people or those with long-term conditions, LGBTQ+ communities, and those from less advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. Further information on our EDI strategy can be found on our site. 

As a Level 2 Disability Confident Committed Employer we are more than happy to make reasonable adjustments wherever possible throughout the recruitment process. For more information on this please contact us. 

Applications will be reviewed on an on-going basis and we reserve the right to close the role prior to the closing date, should a suitable applicant be found. Therefore, you are encouraged to apply right away, to avoid disappointment.

Picture yourself alongside our Outreach and Marketing wizards and our customer service champions. Together, we're on a mission to ensure our young people aren't just safe but also revved up and fully immersed in their journey with us here at The King's Trust.

Could you become their personal champion? Imagine peeling back the layers to discover what's holding them back so that you can unlock their potential for astonishing progress.  Imagine having your own group of young people to support who will turn to you for that one-on-one support, guidance, and maybe just a nudge in the right direction.

Safety always comes first, so keeping a watchful eye on safeguarding, health and safety, and data protection is part of the deal! You’ll be the guiding force that empowers our delivery partners and service providers to reach for the stars.  Together, we will ensure every young person embarks on a remarkable journey, experiencing the extraordinary and achieving the dreams they've aspired to.

You’ll lead personal development sessions that take our foundation programmes to new heights. Whether it's in person or via a virtual session on MS Teams, some of these activities will be in the great outdoors and enjoying our wonderful green spaces. You won’t be sitting behind a screen every day, there will be some travel required to relevant local areas to support the delivery of these exciting programmes as well as programme visits.  However, it’s not all fun and games, keeping things on point means meticulously recording info and data about our young superstars, volunteers, or partners. It's all about making sure every step of their journey aligns perfectly with our funding contracts.

At The Trust, we're strong advocates for fostering an inclusive workplace where everybody feels seen, and it would be fantastic if you share that passion too.  Your mission? Making a positive impact by implementing a local action plan that harmonises with our big-picture EDI goals.

Be prepared for anything and everything. Alongside all these exciting responsibilities, you might even find yourself wearing different hats and stepping up when needed.

Ready to bring your A-game? Let's make every day count and create a brighter future for our young people of the future!
