At The Lullaby Trust our vision is clear: a world where no baby dies suddenly or unexpectedly, and every grieving family gets the support they need. We exist to keep babies safe and support bereaved families. 

We give families a safer start to life and create a supportive space for anyone whose baby or infant has died suddenly or unexpectedly. We empower families and health professionals with trusted advice on keeping babies safe, backed by research, and provide grieving families with bereavement support, side-by-side.

Since 1991 we have reduced the rate of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome by 82% and saved the lives of over 32,000 babies. But our work is not over, as three babies still die suddenly and unexpectedly a week. 

The Senior Trusts and Foundations Officer is an integral role within our Income and Engagement Team. We are seeking an enthusiastic and skilled fundraiser with a passion for securing five and six-figure donations from trusts, foundations and statutory bodies.

The post-holder should be driven to support the work of the charity to continue saving babies’ lives, and supporting bereaved families, and be motivated by our values by being Caring, Reassuring, Driven and Trustworthy in everything they do. 

The post-holder will have excellent communication and relationship-building skills and will be able to manage a wide-ranging portfolio of funders, and the prospect pipeline from start to finish. A key to achieving this will be embedding a deep understanding of The Lullaby Trust’s impact.
 
In this role you will be: 

1. Managing the Trust and Foundations programme 
2. Working with the wider team to deliver to income targets 

This role can be offered as a hybrid role (with approximately one day per week in our London office) or fully remote, with occasional visits to the office for meetings or staff days as necessary.

It is a key time to be joining The Lullaby Trust as we develop our new brand positioning, new website and creative direction, to help us reach more families and supporters than ever. We are a friendly, flexible employer and want to create a diverse and inclusive work environment for everyone.

The Runnymede Trust is the UK’s leading race equality think tank. We generate research to challenge racial inequality in Britain.

For more than 50 years, we have worked tirelessly to build a Britain in which we all belong. Proudly independent, we speak truth to power on race and racism without fear or favour. We are not swayed by political agenda, profit or popular opinion. We are authentic, led by an ethnically diverse team we draw from our lived experience and that of our wide and inclusive community and partnership networks.

Job purpose

As a Senior Policy Officer, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the policy influencing work of Runnymede across a wide range of areas. Your responsibilities will involve researching and developing evidence-based policy positions, drafting briefings in priority areas and supporting with policy reports, while working closely with other members of the team to contribute to organisational initiatives. A key part of this role will involve supporting the Policy Manager and Head of Policy in managing the Runnymede’s Parliamentary engagement, which includes monitoring ongoing legislation, organising Parliamentary events and managing the Secretariat for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Race and Community. 

This is a challenging position that requires strong organisational skills, an ability to navigate high-stakes environments, and a keen understanding of policy nuance within the shifting landscape of race and social justice. You will be integral to shaping and advancing Runnymede’s anti-racist agenda and will thrive on collaboration and learning in a responsive and dynamic environment. 

This is a key role in one of the UK’s leading think tanks on race and social justice, and has the potential to make an important and long term impact delivering genuine progress towards racial equality in Britain.

• 33 days annual leave (including flexibility to take bank holidays when best suits you)

On BeApplied you will be asked to upload your CV and answer some skill-based application questions instead of a traditional covering letter.

Runnymede Trust is committed to providing equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their background. We acknowledge that people from certain backgrounds are  under-represented in research and policy making and we’re committed to doing what we can to correct this. We are particularly keen to receive applications from Black, Asian and minority ethnic people; people with disabilities; people who identify as being LGTBQIA; people who have a mental health condition; and people who identify as working class now or in the past.

We are also aware that many highly capable prospective candidates nonetheless rule themselves out of work in think tanks because they underestimate their own ability to do the role. With this in mind, we strongly encourage applications from anyone who is prepared to learn and grow on the job and would like to stress that past experience of working in think tanks is not required.

Interview Schedule

Candidates will hear back about their application status on 18th of November, and interviews for shortlisted candidates will be conducted on 25th and 26th of November.

The Head of National Influencing is critical to our mission to make dementia the priority it needs to be.  This is way more than a typical public affairs job.  In fact, it’s not a typical public affairs job at all.  We do things differently here.  We don’t carp from the side-lines and moan about how bad everything is.  Instead, we develop overwhelming, evidence and policy-based cases for change which we deploy based on our deep understanding of a complex, constantly adapting system across multiple nations.

Dementia is a whole system challenge so it demands a whole system approach.  That means our Head of National Influencing needs to determine key decisionmakers capable of shaping national policy across England, Northern Ireland and Wales, and then engaging them directly with an overwhelming case for change.  Understanding the system is paramount, as is deploying evidence and policy in the most impactful way.  Essential to the success of the role – and the success of the whole team – is the need to plan and deliver a highly integrated influencing strategy alongside our Head of Local Systems Influencing.  Integration and teamwork is everything in this role – with colleagues internally and with the system externally.  

You’ll have the privilege of leading a big team spread across three nations, and be part of an even larger Evidence, Policy & Influencing function which is laser-focused on ending the devastation of dementia through changing policy.  We take an evidence-based approach to all our work, we focus on impact rather than activity, and the Head of National Influencing is a key role model for how we go about our business.  That includes the most important aspect of this role: leading our people.  With joint responsibility for the whole team’s (not just your team’s!) culture and performance shared between you and our other department heads, the development of our talent is central to the impact we want to make.
 
You will:

- Develop and lead a large team of professionals straddling three nations, while taking responsibility with your peers for the development of the whole Evidence, Policy & Influencing team
- Measure and report on performance and impact rather than activity
- Role model a 3 nations approach to our work
- Drive integration across the team and wider organisation
- Use evidence and policy to create highly impactful cases for change leading to national policy change
- Be responsible for our awareness and compliance with rules around lobbying
- Work with teams across the Society to optimise supporter journeys
- Make us a highly authoritative thought leader in the research, health and care environment
- Provide proactive, high quality analyses of the national external environment to inform strategic decision-making

About you
We need a credible, authoritative leader able to personally influence top decisionmakers and colleagues alike.  

You’ll be someone who is – or aspires to be – a thought and system leader in their own right, pragmatic about the complexities, imperfections and challenges in the system in which we operate.  In fact, you’ll enjoy the challenge of plotting our path through the system we’re trying to change.  You’ll love working with people with different perspectives to challenge your own thinking and ultimately share responsibility for the work of a dynamic, constantly developing team of amazing professionals.  

You’ll have a clear understanding that integration of our influencing work nationally and locally, across strategic evidence gathering, policy development and into the wider work of the Society is key to making the impact.  Above all, you’ll be someone who strives for excellence and who role-models vulnerability, transparency, teamwork and adaptability.
In this role, you have the opportunity to – alongside your team – do genuinely career-defining work in an area of policy which demands innovative, focused and different ways of making change.  The scope for making that change, and personally making it happen, is huge.  We have loads to do and we need someone with the drive, intellect and intolerance for the status quo to help us achieve our goals. 

You are:

- An experienced and inspiring leader who can instil a high challenge, high support culture
- An expert in the external policy environment and are comfortable working across multiple UK nations.
- Comfortable with change, ambiguity and leading major programmes of work
- Highly accountable, able to handle lots of responsibility
- Open and collaborative, able to work across team and geographical boundaries to do things better
- Committed to continuous, evidence-based improvement 
- Curious and enthusiastic about never accepting the status quo when it comes to making things better for people living with dementia
- Up for debate, alternative perspectives and different ways of doing things to achieve impact.
