We are looking to recruit a CEO (Director) to support us in an exciting period of growth. Over the next 5 years, we will double our reach and impact. The CEO (Director) will lead us through this transformative period.
Since 2011 Disability Africa has developed a model using playschemes as hubs to deliver essential lifesaving services to extremely vulnerable disabled children and to end their exclusion in low-income African communities. Using this model, we have worked with project partners in Kenya, The Gambia, Sierra Leone and Zambia. 680 disabled children have now attended our projects more than 90,000 times since 2011. Now the charity is planning to grow and expand with our 5-year plan (‘DA2029’) to replicate the Disability Africa Model to reach more disabled children across Africa.
By 2029 we will:
• Start work with at least 4 new partners in Africa (as well as expected growth at our existing projects).
• Deliver 160,000 attendances by at least 1,500 disabled children in 7 African countries.
• Grow and reach as many disabled children as possible - we know we can’t do it all by ourselves - so we will engage other international NGOs to adopt our model of inclusion.
Disability Africa is a four-day week employer.

We are looking for a determined, skilled, proactive trusts fundraiser to join our small team in this newly created role to help stop children dying suddenly and without explanation.
Tragically, 1-2 seemingly healthy children die in the UK every fortnight, often going to sleep and never waking up. This incidence is unchanging. SUDC UK was founded in 2017 to raise awareness of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), encourage and fund scientific research and offer support and advice to affected families. We believe SUDC research should receive more attention and scientific investment and are inspired by efforts to impact SIDS (cot death), where there has been an 80% reduction in infant deaths in the past 30 years. We can do so much more for SUDC children and their families.
Why apply to SUDC UK? The post holder will be joining our ambitious, passionate, young charity, which consistently punches above its weight. SUDC remains relatively unknown to UK funders, but we are desperate to change this. Despite the current challenging trust fundraising environment, we are hopeful there are philanthropists and grant makers who will be inspired by our impact to date and the enormous potential to save young lives.
Fully remote. A home-based and flexible role. Collaboration over Teams/Zoom. Very occasional travel to meetings/events.

About Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.
At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding ground breaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.
Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.
Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging
We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer’s Society.
We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.
Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

We are looking for a compassionate, proactive, experienced, and professionally registered nurse to evolve our support services and provide excellent, specialist care for families affected by Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC).
SUDC UK has a small, warm, passionate and impactful team who currently support families facing the sudden death of a child between 1-18 years, with no clear explanation for their child’s death.
Currently, the charity’s co-founder and CEO delivers services in collaboration with our affiliate organisation, the SUDC Foundation (based in the U.S). This new role will evolve SUDC UK’s direct support services by delivering an expanded, evidence-based SUDC UK pathway of exceptional care for registered families.
The role will include providing 1-1 supportive zoom calls for information and guidance, case advocacy requiring collaboration and relationship building with professionals like Coroner’s officers and paediatricians, signposting, referrals and collaboration with other organisations, a family peer connection program, family events, service review and continuous improvement.
Are you highly organised and passionate about supporting meaningful causes? Do you want to play a crucial role in a team that helps people with sight loss live the life they choose? We are looking for a Fulfilment Supervisor to join our team and ensure the smooth processing and administration of Fundraising campaign responses, directly contributing to the success of our 5-year Fundraising strategy.
In this role, you'll have the opportunity supervise a dynamic Fulfilment Team, guiding them through daily tasks while fostering a collaborative and productive environment.
Collaboration will be at the heart of your work. You'll build strong relationships with key stakeholders, including the Donation Processing Supervisor and Manager, to guarantee the seamless reconciliation of income and resolution of any queries. You’ll also keep a close eye on KPIs and SLAs, ensuring that all targets are met and addressing any challenges as they arise.
If you're a proactive and detail-oriented professional who is eager to support a purpose-driven team and make a lasting impact on people’s lives, we want to hear from you.
No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.
