About the role
This is an inspiring role for someone who wants to contribute to our success by providing strategic leadership and direction to the fundraising and communications functions supporting the Dementia Adventure business plan and charitable mission and objectives.

Managing a team of five across fundraising, communications, special projects and data management, the successful applicant will lead the development of partnerships and campaigns to raise funds for Dementia Adventure’s unique work to support people with dementia and their carers to have a more active and fulfilled life by getting outdoors and experiencing the benefits of nature. 

You will provide strategic leadership and direction for income generation through various fundraising disciplines and joint fundraising partnerships, ensuring the charity's diversification of funding and financial sustainability. Funding sources include major grantmakers, trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, challenge events, and an individual giving campaign.

Hand in hand with leading fundraising, you will oversee the Communications team, supporting, developing and monitoring the communications strategy, associated budget, resources, systems, processes and operations. This will involve overseeing and directing a communications plan promoting the work of Dementia Adventure to a broad range of audiences through various channels and campaigns, along with increasing online and social media presence.

About you
We are looking for someone to join the charity’s Senior Leadership Team who will bring experience from their past successes and provide inspirational strategic leadership and direction to the fundraising and communications functions in support of the Dementia Adventure business plan, charitable mission and objectives. The successful applicant will have a strong, successful track record of fundraising and/or other forms of income generation in the charity sector, including management, with proven experience in meeting financial and non-financial targets. You should be able to build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, including trusts and grant givers, corporates, major donors and other individuals. In addition, you should have strong knowledge of marketing and communication principles and practice, digital marketing, and social media, and be confident in engaging audiences sensitively with real-life stories to demonstrate impact and create a compelling case for support.

Dementia Adventure is an evidence-led, multi-award national charity helping people living with dementia and their carers to enjoy the outdoors, connect with nature, and retain a sense of adventure. We look at what people can do, not what they can’t. Through supported holidays, learning, and tailored support, we promote well-being, inclusion, and resilience through fostering meaningful connections and renewed possibilities.

You will work across a number of projects delivered by the charity to promote support available to residents and raise the profile of Energy Projects Plus, including promoting the work of the charity to partners and funders.

You will be forward thinking in the planning and design of key marketing campaigns to residents (direct mail, leaflets, posters, social media, press releases, newsletters) and directly responsible for their successful delivery. Through effective research you will also support key partners in sharing key campaigns. You will also be the brand guardian for the charity and work with colleagues to raise awareness and promote the outcomes achieved by the charity to funders, partners, and wider media.

A few of the Team have been with the Project since its foundation as an independent charity in 2015; others have joined along the way, some having initially come to DP as service users themselves.  People with lived experience are central to everything we do, not just as service users, but as staff, volunteers and trustees.

You will work closely with DP’s Trustees and the DP Coordinating Committee to ensure smooth service delivery; develop and implement DP’s long-term strategic plans and, via consultation and feedback, build resilient services and activities that meet service users’ needs and help enhance the local community.  This will include building relationships in the community and representing DP at events and via external networks.

You will have experience of:

• Managing and supervising the work of teams and individuals.

• Decision-making in a wide range of situations including where risk management and safeguarding are considerations.

• Managing competing interests within the workplace.

• Understanding the circumstances and needs of refugees, asylum-seekers and vulnerable migrants.

We have achieved a huge amount through our dedicated staff, trustee and volunteer team so why appoint a Capacity Building, Partnerships & Funding Coordinator?

The main function of this role will be:

1. Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.
2. Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.
3. Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.
4. Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.

Job Description

1. Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.

The Lullaby Trust’s guidance is constantly evolving as new evidence emerges on preventing unexpected infant deaths. However, much of our guidance, such as our Back to Sleep messaging, is based on an established and agreed body of evidence. The post holder will be required to undertake a narrative systematic review of the literature to create an updated Evidence Base for each aspect of The Lullaby Trust’s guidance, referencing established research and any relevant updated evidence. Ideally, papers would need to be readily available via open access to assist The Lullaby Trust staff with supporting research enquiries. It is important to note that whilst some of our guidance is based on direct evidence, some is indirect i.e. advising against using certain products due to association with other evidence-based guidance; therefore, the post holder should have a sound understanding of SIDS and unexpected infant death research to be able to demonstrate this link concisely.

Current topics covered by our guidance and evidence include:

Sleeping position

Clear cot

Room temperature

Bedding

Twins and multiples

Smoking

Alcohol and drug use

Breastfeeding

Airways

Co-sleeping/bedsharing

Products; slings, dummies, baby monitors

Car seats

Infection and immunisations

Premature babies

Poor antenatal care

Swaddling

Young parents

Normal baby sleep

Impact of deprivation

1. Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.

The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base is an extensive document. This project aims to make the Evidence Base more accessible and easier to update. We envisage that each topic currently covered in the Evidence Base will have a fully referenced version and a plain language version to enable them to be understood and used by a variety of service users, including health professionals and parents or carers. On completion, the Evidence Base and its derivatives will remain the sole property of The Lullaby Trust, however the post holder will be credited and there is scope for the post holder to publish an academic paper based on the project.

1. Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.

The post holder will need to support in the design of easily accessible PDF versions of the Evidence Base, including any relevant infographics and links to referenced research. Each document will need to align with the guidance available to service users via our website and in other published resources. It may be possible that the review provides insights into potential changes to the current guidance available and, where this is indicated, the post holder will work with our Scientific Advisory Group to provide the evidence for those discussions.

1. Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.

As a dynamic organisation that adapts our guidance to the most up-to-date research. Our current process involves our Scientific Advisory Group assessing new research and, if appropriate, amending our guidance or adding research to an established research library. However, the format of the current Evidence Base document creates a challenge in adding new references and evidence. The revised Evidence Base documents created by this project will need to be easily edited and updated. The post holder will be required to develop a standard operating procedure for updating the documents as part of our current Scientific Advisory Group processes.
