Salary: £75,240 - £79,302 per annum
Location: Remote, with travel to office location a few times a year
Contract: Permanent, 35 hours per week (full time)
About the role:
Action again Medical Accidents (AvMA) is seeking a Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications to drive the diversification of their income streams, enhance their public profile, and develop robust marketing and communications strategies to support their mission of preventing medical accidents and supporting affected individuals.
This is a brand new role and an opportunity to shape and develop not just the role itself, but the team and the full suite of strategic objectives and activities to help support AvMA’s mission, vison and values.
You will play a pivotal role in helping AvMA to design plans to deliver additional income through a combination of fundraising, marketing and communications efforts that together widen their reach, empower more people and deliver their strategic aims.
And whilst this role may be new, as a charity they are not. AvMA is well-respected and have a strong brand and presence in the patient safety arena. So, whilst in the role you’ll be building something new, you will be doing so on solid foundations with a strong reputation for authenticity and impact on behalf of those they support and work with.
About you:
With a demonstrable track record in developing multi faceted fundraising strategies and experience in marketing and communications, you’ll bring the skills needed to successfully deliver and establish a range of fundraising activities. As this is a new role, some areas of work may have not been established yet and so you’ll use your creative and solution focused mindset to generate the ideas and bring them to life, leading and motivating others as you go.
As a strong storyteller you’ll use your skills to help AvMA raise its profile, create a better clarity of voice and widen its reach - connecting with new communities and audiences in order to increase the potential of AvMA’s impact and make a difference to more people lives.
You’ll be comfortable working autonomously and acting as the lead subject matter expert for all things fundraising, marketing and communications, taking a blank canvas, spotting opportunity, and delivering success for AvMA and its beneficiaries. You will also have overall responsibility for a budget to help you to develop what is needed, such as people, resources or infrastructure - so budget management experience is essential too.
Experience in a smaller charity and team is beneficial as you’ll need to be comfortable with both the strategic development side and inputting into wider planning, as well as being a leader who is willing to role up your sleeves and ‘do’.
Ideally you’ll have held a role with a similar scope of responsibilities around fundraising, marketing and communications, as well as people management, however you don’t need to have held a director level role before. This is likely to be your next step and provides a very tantalising opportunity to develop, design and deliver a new function and really make it your own!
What we can offer you:
Salary: Circa £75,240 - £79,302 per annum, negotiable dependant on experience.
Location: Remote role. Although staff predominantly work from home, we place huge value on working as a team and supporting each other.There is an expectation that AvMA staff will get together in person at least three times a year at the office, currently in Croydon; the Staff Days are well structured, collegiate and help the organisation to maintain the emphasis on playing as a team.
Hours of work: You will be contracted hours are 35 hours per week (full time)
Pension: AvMA also offer a stakeholder pension where the charity will provide a 5% contribution based on qualifying earnings if the employee pays in at least 3%.
Holiday: 25 days a year (full time), plus bank holidays. An additional day’s leave is acquired for each year of service up to five days. In addition, the office closes over the Christmas break for 3 days, for which annual leave does not have to be taken.
About AvMA
Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) is the independent UK wide charity for patient safety and justice, established over 40 years.AvMA is widely credited with both having put “patient safety” on the map and having brought about huge advances in access to justice for those patients who have been affected by lapses in patient safety (“medical accidents”).
AvMA’s vision for what they want to see is a simple one: People who suffer avoidable medical harm get the support and the outcomes they need. This vision is underpinned by four objectives. Between them, we believe, they will transform trust in the NHS and healthcare generally, and significantly cut the cost – financial and human – which is incurred annually in settling legal claims as well as dealing with the human costs associated with traumatic medical injuries and death

Background
Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia: a progressive and complex condition that can be devastating for the whole family. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime – either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.
Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible, for as long as possible.
Purpose of the job/about the role
Dementia UK has entered into an exciting three-year corporate partnership with a national partner to bring face-to-face Admiral Nursing to the high street at locations across the UK.
You will be working within a defined area within one of the following regions, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, England (Northern, Central, South-West, South-East, and London).
As part of the national Clinics Programme Team, you will provide in-person biopsychosocial support and advice, sharing your specialist dementia nursing expertise to help families manage the complexities of the condition. Your focus will be on supporting family carers, people affected by dementia, and professionals who require specialist dementia guidance in areas of the UK where Admiral Nurse services are currently unavailable, bringing a much-needed service directly to local communities. Throughout your work, you will consistently promote Admiral Nursing and a family-centred approach to dementia care.
You will receive full support with your continuous professional development from the Admiral Nurse Academy.
As this unique nursing role offers you the opportunity to travel within your defined region, which may include some overnight stays, flexibility will be essential. When not delivering face-to-face clinics, you will work from home, which may include providing support on our Admiral Nurse Helpline.
To apply, you must be a registered nurse with the NMC, have significant experience in dementia care, and demonstrate a history of supporting people with dementia and their families and carers.
This is a truly exciting and varied role where your expertise will have a genuine impact on people in need of support that would otherwise not be available in their locality. Join us in making a difference to the lives of those affected by dementia and helping ensure no one faces dementia alone.
Our culture
In addition to a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. It’s important for us to create a working environment that looks after our workforce to achieve their full potential. You will become part of a diverse and dedicated team who are supported to use and develop their skills. We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia.
Our staff have a voice. Representatives from different roles and levels across the organisation positively contribute and lead on our working groups around health and wellbeing, menopause, and equality, diversity and inclusion.
Dementia UK is proud to welcome everyone, we aim for a truly inclusive culture with talented, diverse teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We celebrate difference and individuality and encourage everyone to join us and be their whole selves always.

Senior Fundraiser
Friends of Ibba Girls School, South Sudan (UK charity number 1146220)
Friends of Ibba Girls School, South Sudan (FIGS), was established in 2011 in response to a specific request from local community leaders to help them build and develop a girls’ residential school in South Sudan. Ibba Girls Boarding School (IGBS) now educates 360 primary and secondary school girls from across the whole of Western Equatoria State and employs 40 staff (teachers, matrons, cooks and other support staff). The school is on a large, green campus and provides not only high-quality teaching but a visible demonstration of the benefits of school education in South Sudan, where most girls leave school before the end of primary and very few achieve secondary qualifications. FIGS is a relatively small organization but it is making a substantial impact by providing a model of good quality girls’ schooling across South Sudan.
FIGS has achieved notable successes – the school which opened in 2014, initially with 40 girls, has now reached its full size of 360 girls, with excellent exam results and has reduced dropout from school. It is nurturing empowered women who can exercise leadership locally and nationally for this newly independent nation. FIGS works closely with the experienced and widely-acclaimed Windle Trust International, who provide technical financial and organizational support to the school in South Sudan.
FIGS has raised about £4 million over the last 10 years, particularly through relational fundraising. Running costs for a boarding school in South Sudan are around £ 1/3 million each year, so fundraising is a key task for FIGS.
This is a brilliant opportunity for an experienced fundraiser with a strong and demonstrable track record to play a crucial role in expanding the donor base of FIGS, while sustaining and engaging the large network of existing supporters and donors. You will lead the fundraising work and will use your skills across a wide range of fundraising functions, including expanding the number and range of individuals, corporates, philanthropists, schools, churches, legacies and trusts.
We need the help of a talented individual to implement FIGS’ fundraising strategy and action plan, working with those Trustees who are able to give some time to fundraising and with solid help from a part-time fundraising consultant. There is plenty to enjoy in the varied work, where one can see visible results in the impact it has on the school, its students and staff, parents and communities across Western Equatoria State and across the nation of South Sudan.
The post can be undertaken on a full-time or part-time basis (where part-time is at least 3 days a week). It will be on a self-employed consultancy basis. Hours can be flexible by arrangement. The person will work mainly from home, liaising online with Trustees and others, but some travel to events in London and elsewhere will be needed on an occasional basis. We are looking for someone to start as soon as mutually convenient. A contract will be one year in the first instance, and can be renewed subject to satisfactory performance. The remuneration as a self-employed person is in the range of £35-42K dependent on track record and experience (or pro rata).
Key responsibilities
· To support the delivery of the fundraising plan, achieving or exceeding targets and KPIs, both financial and non-financial as agreed with the Chair of FIGS Trustees and Chair of its fundraising group.
· To identify and generate new fundraising opportunities, from the corporate and philanthropic sectors, as well as from organizations, groups and individuals
· To widen the existing network of donors, based on relationship development and management and engagement with existing supporters and donors, and creating new opportunities
· To generate a pipeline of activities across a range of fund-raising streams
· Develop strong relationships with all external stakeholders.
· Produce progress reports for FIGS Trustees about fundraising in relation to targets and budget and make recommendations for future streams of work.
· Attend key fundraising and supporter events to generate significant income, support and profile.
· Be an ambassador for FIGS.
· Ensure fundraising activities are in line with FIGS’ values and policies, relevant legislation and the Fundraising Regulator Code of Practice.
We are committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and welcome applications from a wide range of identities and backgrounds.
Please submit your CV along with a 500 word statement as an appendix to your CV. Also include the contact details for 2 referees. The 500 word statement should explain how you can contribute to FIGS' fundraising work, including evidence of your fundraising achievements and approach. The CV and statement should be in a single document.
