Charity People are thrilled to announce we are working with The Funding Network to find a Partnerships Manager - a truly wonderful charity that builds connections that change the world. This unique role is central to a new era unfolding at The Funding Network, and will prioritise managing existing donors and building a thriving new network to increase impact for the organisations they support.

Their work is incredibly unique in the sector. The Funding Network are pioneering a model of engaged and collaborative philanthropy that bridges the divide between the most privileged members of society and the most marginalised. They facilitate real change for small charities, allowing them to grow, build their own new network of funders, develop their own infrastructure, increase support and ultimately increase their social impact.

The main facilitation is crowd funding events at which small charities pitch for funds and other forms of support. Events are hosted on a pro bono basis, and have been described as part TED Talk, part Dragons Den and part live auction. On any given evening, an audience might have the opportunity to support children impacted by parental imprisonment, families affected by knife crime, and asylum seekers facing homelessness. Audiences leave feeling inspired and uplifted by the people they've met, the work they have learned about and the difference they've made.

Partnerships Manager

Members find and select the charities The Funding Network support, and contribute approximately 80% of the funds raised at events, and make a vital contribution to core costs through an annual fee. This role will be central in shaping the future of donor partnerships by ensuring outstanding account management for their current network and expanding their base of individual and corporate members achieving greater impact.

About You

This role will appeal to fundraisers who thrive on building new connections, meeting new donors, and being close to the cause. There is incredible scope to see first hand the impact of The Funding Networks approach, helping small charities secure funding to kick-start their own exciting new journey of greater reach and allowing them to reach new heights.

The role will suit someone:

• With a record of fundraising from Corporate/philanthropy/major donor income streams and can demonstrate the skills to engage and inspire new prospects
• Who thrives in a small organisation, close to the cause and impact, and values the opportunity to collaborate and broaden their own experiences
• Can demonstrate great understanding of account management and new business processes
• Who is ready to shape their own strategy and make a lasting impact on the future trajectory of a charity
• Is an excellent communicator at all levels, and who loves talking with passion to inspire others

This is a standout role. I would love to share more with anyone interested in hearing exactly what is in store. Please drop me a message to request a job pack, set up a Teams call, and find out how you can apply.

Ivy Rock Partners is proud to be working with CILEX in recruiting a new Chief Financial Officer, which will suit any candidates looking for a predominantly remote/working from home model. ( also option of 4 days per week)

CILEX is the professional institute for specialist criminal, civil and family lawyers and for paralegals. With over 17,500 members we are the second largest professional body in England & Wales as well as being in many dimensions the most diverse of the legal professions.

CILEX earns its income from a combination of membership fees, qualification-based education, examination fees and income from training and other products and services to employers of legal professionals and higher and further education partners. In addition to its annual revenues of c.£11m the institute holds assets of c. £10m of which c. £7m is managed by Barclays Wealth. The finance directorate combines the finance, compliance, IT and HR functions.

Since 2018 CILEX has been following a radical strategic plan that aimed to transform the standing of the profession to cement its equivalence to solicitors that was granted in changes made in legal services legislation from 2007 – 2014 by:

• Working with government and regulators to remove the final legislative and regulatory barriers to genuine equivalence.

• Developing a new qualification and apprenticeship standards that deliver a product better aligned to market requirements.

• Expand the membership proposition.

• Grow the institute through a programme of acquisition and product development

• Changing the delegated regulatory arrangements that govern the profession

• Transform the operating model and supporting technology that delivers our products and services

As we near the end of this transformation programme we have been making significant changes to the leadership and organisation of the institute to both improve accountability and ownership of performance and to build a culture that empowers leaders to deliver against a clear set of strategic goals agreed by the Board.

We now look to appoint a Chief Financial Officer who will report to the Chief Executive with a very specific brief aimed at ensuring we can maximise the return from the very significant investments we have made in product and technology and the recent acquisition of the Institute of Paralegals.

Key Accountabilities:

• Enhancing the capability of the finance function to operate independently of direct supervision in the day-to-day execution of core activities, processes and reporting

• Ensuring that the supporting technology is fit for purpose and enables the minimum amount of ‘double handling’ or reprocessing in core finance processes

• Taking ownership of working capital and developing a programme of debt re[1]payment that strengthens our balance sheet and enables further investment in product and technology

• Ensuring that the IT department and the core systems it supports are fit for purpose and exploited to the maximum to deliver lowest cost technology support for products and services

• Maximising the return from our cash assets over the long-term

• Ensuring a successful annual audit and the preparation of the Annual Report & Accounts

• Ownership of the risk appetite, risk management process and internal audit

• Ownership of the annual plan and budget process and the reporting of performance to the executive and the Board.

Direct Reports:

• Head of Finance

• Head of IT

• Head of Compliance

• Head of HR

The CFO is a senior member of the Executive Team and attends Board and the finance and audit and risk committee. They have a dotted line reporting relationship with the Chairs of both these committees.

Personal Capabilities:

Essential:

• A strong commercial understanding and experience of being a finance leader in a commercial environment.

• Fully qualified status (ACCA, CIMA or equivalent)

• An appreciation of operating and reporting systems and how to exploit their full potential

• Collegiate, approachable and willing to get involved in order to get things done

• An effective team coach and leader, able to set standards and help teams embrace and achieve them

• Able to work with a remote team that gets together occasionally.

Desirable:

• Experience in professional services

• Experience integrating financial system

Application Timetable:

• Application Deadline: Tuesday 3rd December 2024
• Shortlisting: Friday 6th December 2024
• First Stage Interviews: Monday 9th and Tuesday 10th December 2024
• Final Stage Interviews: 16th and 17th December 2024

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.

This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.

The team are here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life. 

It’s only thanks to the generosity of supporters and donors that they can provide vital support.

Individuality leads to a richer experience for people and better support for all those affected by stroke.
