Hours:
This is a part time position of 22.5 hours per week (0.6 FTE), worked between Monday and Friday over a minimum of three days, with the working pattern to be agreed.

From 1st July 2024 we are piloting a four day working week across the whole of the UK organisation. This pilot is planned to run for 12 months, at which point a decision will be made by our Board of Trustees as to whether this will become permanent. Success of the trial relies on the organisation being able to achieve the same or improved level of impact in four working days as five, with staff experiencing either the same or improved levels of wellbeing.

During the four-day week pilot, this position will remain at 22.5 hours per week, worked between Monday and Thursday over a minimum of three days, with the working pattern to be agreed. With the organisation's full-time hours changed to 30 from 37.5 during the four-day week pilot, this role will be 0.75 FTE during the trial, with the salary increased accordingly to £26,903.

This will constitute a temporary change to the successful candidate's contractual terms. If a return to a five-day week is decided, the FTE and salary will revert to 0.6 and the equivalent pro rata amount of £21,523. In the event that THL UK considers before the end of the trial period that the trial is having an adverse operational impact, we reserve the right to bring the trial to end on one month’s notice.

• ​A fully remote work environment and team (all equipment is provided)
• A 4 day working week (note: this is a year long pilot until July 2025 when its continuation will be assessed)

• Provide administrative and budget support for grants and contracts allocated to stakeholders, supporting financial overview of allocations.

• Maintain effective communication with key stakeholders to ensure long-term impact and engagement with the programme.
• Ensure information regarding the programme on the Gatsby and partner websites is coherent and up to date.
• Any other duties to support the Education Team in delivering programme objectives when required.

Who are we looking for?

First and foremost, we are looking for someone with a strong interest in our areas of work, especially supporting improvement for technical education.

The specific experience criteria that we are looking for in the successful candidate include:

• Managed projects to achieve successful outcomes, including budget responsibility.
• Managed external contracts or grants to deliver agreed objectives on time and within budget.
• Organised successful complex meetings and events.
• Have been personally responsible for implementing new processes or ideas.
• Have worked independently and within a team, contributing to the success of others as well as self.
• Written well-received documents (such as minutes, briefings, reports, articles).

INTRAC is looking for a dynamic individual with a passion for civil society to join as Director of Fundraising and Partnerships.

INTRAC is unashamedly for civil society. We are a mission-driven, not-for-profit organisation, focused on the core belief that vibrant, diverse and inclusive civil societies are essential catalysts for a world where everyone can thrive. We believe that locally available civil society support is essential as part of the wider movement to ‘shift the power’ to enable those tackling inequality and injustice to be resilient and effective, to navigate changes in their context and contribute to long-term inclusive locally led change.  This is an exciting time for the organisation as we move from envisioning our strategy to implementing it.  

Our strategic framework, Locally Rooted, Globally Connected will guide INTRAC’s practice over the next five years, as we evolve to becoming a network-led organisation, influenced and informed by the priorities, insights and aspirations of our network members, and the networks we interact with.  Together we will work to shift how civil society support is conceived and delivered: to transform civil society support eco-systems, so that local and global organisations are supported to develop, engage with others, and do what they want to do, better, to deliver just, equitable and sustainable societies.  

The role of strategic funding is crucial to this transformative change.  We are looking for an individual who is committed to anti-racist and feminist leadership to join our senior leadership team and help drive this change.

You will have significant experience and a proven track record in developing and delivering fundraising strategy, particularly focused on trusts, foundations and philanthropy, taking a relationship-based approach to build partnerships with organisations that share similar values and vision.

You will work with the team to build our capability, partnership, systems and processes to steward relationships, develop grants and manage their delivery.  Working with our Communications Co-ordinator you will help to build INTRAC’s profile and position in line with our strategic vision and ambitions.  You will have active support from the CEO along with strong board commitment to help develop and deliver this role.

This is a part time role (0.6-0.8 FTE); initially offered as an eighteen month contract with the intention to extend should the role be successful.

We are a remote organisation, with staff working across the UK. As we become a global network we are looking at options as to how to expand our staff base in different geographies, as we believe this will benefit INTRAC and support our strategic direction.  However, we do not have a straightforward way to do this currently. Whilst we are open to considering applicants from all parts of the world we will not sponsor visa applications. If you are based outside the UK and are keen to consider one of our roles please email Jenny George to discuss details.

To apply for the role please share a copy of your CV and respond to the following three questions (word limit 750 words):

1. Build Partnerships: Please tell us about a time when you have built a long-term relationship and secured strategic funding from new funder.

2. Leadership: Please tell us about a time when you challenged current practice in an organisation and embedded a new way of working.

3. Communication: Please tell us about a time when communicated a complex issue, raising its profile and encouraging others to engage with it/act on it.

In answering, please provide as much evidence as you can, to explain:

· the Situation in which you acted,

· what you were Tasked to do,

· the Actions you took and

· the Results you achieved and

· what you learnt from the process.

Answering the questions in this way will help the short-listing panel recognise and understand clearly the combination of knowledge, skills and competencies that you bring to the role.

Another key function of the role is to edit and proofread content generated by colleagues, including reports, blogs and other materials. A smaller share of the role is dedicated to carrying out and supporting with day-to-day “core” communications work, such as maintaining content on our website and contributing to our content planner. These general communications duties are flexibly shared across the communications team to enable team members to support each other’s workloads.

The PR and Communications Officer will be part of the communications team at the Tax Justice Network which is led by the Head of Communications, who this post will report into, and includes the Content and Communications Officer, the Creative Strategist/Podcaster and the Podcast Producer. The team leads and delivers the Tax Justice Network’s communications, including the organisation’s media work, blog, website, social media and newsletters.

The communications team is a busy team in a fast moving and agile organisation.

Therefore, you need to be self-reliant and a top multi-tasker, who enjoys independent writing as well as supporting colleagues with developing and polishing their work into the best possible shape.

Given the nature of the work, you will need to have an exceptional eye for detail.

The Tax Justice Network is a virtual organisation with all the team working remotely. You therefore need to be self-motivated and comfortable working alone. Alongside being thorough, diligent and independent you should have strength and confidence to judge when to reach out to colleagues to assist and support.
