Carers UK is looking for an Account Executive to support the Income Generation and Communication team in delivering activities to maintain and grow significant income from Carers UK’s products and services, namely the Employers for Carers forum.
This is a pivotal time for working carers as the Carer’s Leave Act becomes law, making it a statutory requirement for all employers to support unpaid carers by providing five days unpaid carers leave. We believe we have the platform to bring about change, as well as provide carers with the support they need.
About us
Carers UK’s vision is to create a society that recognises, values and supports carers. As the leading national charity for unpaid carers, we exist to make life better for carers, however caring affects them. Our support, advice, information and campaigning work are now needed more than ever, as unpaid carers are providing more and more care, adversely impacting on their own health and wellbeing.
Despite being a relatively small charity, we regularly punch above our weight. We have influenced almost every piece of legislation concerning carers over the past 60 years: from the first ever 1967 legal right for carers to the 2024 Carer’s Leave Act, whereby employers must provide five days unpaid leave to employees. Our Employers for Carers forum was hugely influential in the passing of the Act.
We now have an exciting opportunity for an Account Executive to join our team and build on this recent success. This is a pivotal time for working carers as the Carer’s Leave Act has become law, after years of campaigning by Carers UK. This means it is now a statutory requirement for all employers to support unpaid carers by giving five days unpaid carers leave. However, we realise that there are still many barriers facing working carers, so we are already campaigning for a further change in the law for this to become a week of paid leave.
About the role
Our best practice employer forum, Employers for Carers (EfC), works as a department of Carers UK and helps businesses create carer-friendly workplaces. With the change in employment law, now is an exciting time for our forum to grow in size and influence, ultimately helping millions more carers.
We are seeking a new business Account Executive to help grow the membership of Employers for Carers at this exciting time. While this role sits within the Income Generation and Communication directorate, it is not a fundraising role but focuses on selling our Employers for Carers product as earned income. As such, the successful candidate will meet with leading organisations to improve their workplace practices, engaging with HR and D&I teams.

As a membership charity for carers, we particularly seek employees and volunteers with a real understanding of the issues faced by carers. Reasonable adjustments can be made to the process and role dependent on the needs of the applicant.
At Carers UK we want our application process to be as accessible as possible. If you need any adjustments to apply please email the recruitment team to discuss.

The International Nepal Fellowship (INF) is Nepal’s longest serving international NGO with over seven decades of experience working with Nepal’s poorest and most disadvantaged people and communities.
Nepal is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. After a decade of peace following the 1996 to 2006 civil war, the country was hit by several generation-defining events. In 2015, a catastrophic earthquake killed nearly 9,000 people and then the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on the nation, amplifying challenges such as social exclusion, limited access to basic services, and weakening economic growth.
Its people have worked hard and achieved much to reduce poverty in Nepal. Twenty years ago, nearly every other family lived in extreme poverty, earning less than $1.25 a day. Although this number has halved, today there are still one in four families living in extreme poverty. This is why Nepal and its people need further help in the alleviation of poverty and suffering.
Today, INF in the UK is a forward-thinking and impactful organisation, raising funds and supporting programmes and projects initiated and delivered by our Nepali partners, addressing key needs in healthcare, disability, community resilience, education and emergency relief.
We are motivated by our Christian faith, showing active compassion for some of the world’s poorest people, and encouraging individuals and communities to access and enjoy their rights as a holistic expression of our values.
We believe all people are equal, and so inclusion and dignity are very important to us, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, disability, economic status, caste or any other feature.
INF UK is continuing on a journey of transformation. Five years ago we moved from being a missionary sending agency to a resourcing organisation, raising funds and awareness for our partners locally. We are now embarking on the transition to becoming a more locally-led organisation, supporting and empowering our local partners to assume a greater role in the way INF UK develops and evolves.
INF UK now seeks a CEO to lead a small and talented team and drive this process of transformational change. You will bring experience of senior leadership, international development, strategic planning, resource mobilisation, partnership building and financial oversight. This will be underpinned by a mature Christian faith and a passion to see Nepali people living dignified, hope-filled lives, free from poverty and suffering.
If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you. Closing date is 5pm GMT on Thursday 12th December 2024.
Please note that this role has an Occupational Requirement to be a committed Christian as permitted under Schedule 9, Part 1, of the Equality Act 2010.

Salary: Circa £105,000 + Attractive Benefits
