About Reprieve

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again. 

In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing. 

We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues. 

Reprieve’s main office is in Aldgate, London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

Reprieve works in close partnership with its independent sibling organisation Reprieve US.  This collaboration is mutually beneficial to both Reprieve and Reprieve US as it enables each organisation to work more effectively and take advantage of the strategic locations to increase the impact of our work.

Reprieve is an equal opportunity employer and we particularly welcome applicants from Black and minority ethnic communities, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and those with disabilities. Reprieve is committed to fighting racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve. For more information, please see our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Statement. You can also read more about our recruitment process.

About the Role

The Head of Public Affairs and Policy is responsible for overseeing Reprieve’s political engagement and policy work; managing public affairs and policy focused staff; and steering forward advocacy and policy that advances Reprieve’s strategic objectives on behalf of our clients in all the jurisdictions where we operate. 

Reprieve’s current policy goals in the UK include prohibiting intelligence sharing where there is a risk of torture or the death penalty, ensuring UK security assistance doesn’t contribute to human rights violations, and ending the practice of citizenship stripping. The role involves close collaboration with Reprieve’s regional and thematic casework teams to encourage states to restrict or end the use of the death penalty or involvement in other human rights abuses such as torture and arbitrary detention. 

Reprieve’s work encompasses a number of regions across the world, including the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, South East Asia, and the United States. The policy team provides cross-cutting support to those teams and local experts to advocate for our clients, secure political representation for them, and advance strategic goals.
You will share our commitment to fighting against racism and advancing
racial justice, and understand our responsibility to do our work in a way that does not compound racist structures.

We are looking for our first Director of Fundraising - someone who will have the opportunity to build and develop a team to help deliver our fundraising strategy.

About Us

St John International is a global organisation – a family of charities whose ambition is to lead in first aid and medical responses to communities’ health needs. With 44 St John establishments across the world, we like to think of ourselves as the ‘scaffolding’ which supports our organisations. We do this by sharing best practice, offering practical and financial support and strategic direction to implement a gold standard of community and emergency care for the sick and the poor everywhere we work. Our focus is First Aid, Ambulance Services, Eye Care, and our Mother and Baby Programme.

Our impact is real, immediate, and lasting as we build stronger communities through our work. Our aim is continuously to improve the quality and scale of training and care we provide around the world, so that we can say with confidence that we represent the gold standard in everything we do. However, we want to do more. We are therefore launching a major fundraising initiative to support our work. We are grateful to an ambitious donor who has invested in a principal gift to create a new fundraising programme to create sustainable, reliable growth. 

What you will be doing

The Director of Fundraising will be a key member of our executive team reporting directly to the Secretary General. As our first Director of Fundraising, you will have the opportunity to build and develop your own team to help you deliver the fundraising strategy.

In taking forward the strategy, you will identify and articulate areas for support, research relevant funding potential and secure income through the development and execution of both the short and long-term fundraising strategy across the funding spectrum. You will have the confidence and experience to help us to deliver a longer-term strategic approach to continued fundraising, based on organisational and business objectives.

With our donor’s generous gift, we aim to build a thriving, major gifts programme which builds capacity and delivers a significant return on our donor’s investment. It is our aim to raise £15million over the next 4 years.

You will be responsible for building a fundraising team and leading fundraising in all areas, from major gifts relationships, completing complex bids to grant-making Trusts and Foundations and managing and utilising the skills of the Trustees and wider St John network.

You will build and maintain a network of supporters. This will require both organisational and bid-writing skills, as well as the ability to represent us, our work and all that we stand for in negotiations with partners, sponsors and major donors around the world.

1. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE JOB

The Director of Fundraising will lead the continued development, co-ordination and delivery of our new fundraising strategy, to build and maintain philanthropic income.

The post holder will work under the direction of the Secretary General and Trustees to:

1. Deliver our new Fundraising Strategy which has been prepared, maximising resources through major donors, trusts and foundations, individual giving, corporates and legacies throughout the world.

2. Build a new fundraising team.

3. Act as an advocate and ambassador for the charity, building and prospecting new relationships with supporters, stakeholders and donors.

4. Work with colleagues to articulate and promote the charity’s unique message.

5. Mobilise potential supporters and advocates within our St John Family.

2. PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

a) Work with the St John International team and trustees to deliver the innovative and varied fundraising strategy.

b) Create and manage fundraising:  major donors, trusts and foundations, corporates, and legacies across the organisation.

c) Monitor, collect and manage information on relevant sources of funding, including public and charitable funds, commissioning and procurement, and emerging opportunities for income generation.

d) Develop, implement and oversee quality control, evaluation and reporting procedures to ensure a high standard of bid submission, monitoring and reporting at all times.

e) Build relationships with major donors and maintain good stewardship of donors and funders. We expect our contributor base to include international donors, and not just those who may be UK-based.

f) Research and write high quality grant applications and proposals for support.

g) Develop, pitch and manage sponsorship proposals and presentations.

h) Work with colleagues to embed opportunities for fundraising and fundraising events through other areas of the charity’s work.

i) Attend networking events, prepare groundwork and establish connections to engage potential donors and develop opportunities.

j) Prepare reports and give presentations on fundraising progress to the trustee board.

k) Identify opportunities to collaborate with global partners to secure additional efficiencies, benefits or increased resources, including the potential for joint fundraising approaches.

l) Ensure that appropriate health & safety standards are met for fundraising events, including the production of risk assessments and event plans.

m)  Ensure the fundraising office adheres to all required fundraising regulations in the UK.

Further to this, you'll be the relationship manager for a number of key health systems stakeholders within a designated region where you will be an external representative of CRUK.

• Working in close collaboration with other CRUK colleagues in the relevant nation(s) to ensure appropriate sharing of insight and co-ordinated engagement with external and internal stakeholders

• Ensuring that insights generated are shared within CRUK in such a way as to inform CRUK's priority setting, engagement activities and policy development through chairing our Primary Care Knowledge Group

• Working with the Head of Health Systems Engagement to ensure a well-developed contribution to the departmental-wide strategy and operating model

• Contributing to scoping activities to support the identification of priorities within the HSE strategy and development of new health systems products and programmes

• Maintaining an excellent level of knowledge about health systems policy and its application in practice, building on active relationships and engagement with clinicians and system leaders at all levels of the health system.

What skills are you looking for?

• Substantial experience working with published evidence and grey literature and using primary knowledge generation methodologies to develop insight

• Deep knowledge of one or more of the health systems in the UK, including an understanding of key stakeholder groups and of how cancer services/pathways are planned, funded and delivered in practice

• Specific knowledge of primary care policy and practice would be desirable

• Ability to rapidly appraise, assimilate and distil key messages from information from a range of sources

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex information clearly and appropriately for the audience

• Demonstrates excellent interpersonal and relationship management skills, with the ability to quickly build strong networks and partnerships with internal and external stakeholders

• Project development and delivery skills

• Strong planning and organisational skills and ability to work well under pressure and manage multiple priorities, many with fixed deadlines.

What will I gain?

Each and every one of our employees contributes to our progress and is supporting our work to beat cancer. We think that's impressive.

In return, we make sure you are supported by a generous benefits package, a wide range of career and personal development opportunities and high-quality tools, policies and processes to enable you to do your job well.

Our benefits package includes a substantial retirement plan, a generous and flexible leave allowance, discounts on anything from travel to technology, gym membership, and much more.
