Who we are:

As an award-winning charity, KEEN exists because children and adults with disabilities and additional needs are still not fully included in their communities, and this has to change! We create our own inclusive programme of sessions and projects for our children and adults to support and empower their development, assisted by our enthusiastic, friendly and active volunteer team, support other organisations to make their own provision open to all, and campaign more widely for a fairer inclusive society.

The Role:

Our Project Coordinator for In-Person activities in Oxford is a key leadership role at the heart of our sociable and fun team. You will coordinate all aspects of our inspiring and unique in-person session programme with six sessions a week spanning gardening to sports, recruit and support our exceptional volunteers, and be the primary contact for them and our community. 

Each day as the KEEN Coordinator is very different. In one day, you might be a guest speaker in a local school or business, then running a Zig-Zag dinosaur themed crafts session for our under 10’s, before training new volunteers in adaptations they could use in our young adult’s drama session. On another day you might be in meetings with the local authority about enhancing inclusivity, finalising a KEEN fundraising application and then attending a volunteer social in the evening.

If those sounds like worthwhile days that you could see yourself making the most of: you could be our new Programme Coordinator.

The Magpie Project supports women with preschool children who are living in temporary or insecure accommodation in Newham and other London boroughs. We provide stay-and-play sessions alongside casework around housing, immigration, and other related issues, plus healthy home-made food, a baby bank, and a focus on high-quality play and creativity for mums and minis to foster a sense of joy and belonging.
We advocate and campaign, alongside our mums, on the issues which have the greatest impact on their lives. We have grown quickly since our birth in 2017, and we now support over 500 families a year with 11 members of staff and a turnover of approximately £500,000 pa.
We are in a positive position with regards to our fundraising and finances, with several long-term core grants as well as smaller project grants, a number of corporate partners who donate both time and money to the project, and a loyal community of individual donors and fundraisers.
We wear our values on our sleeve and our fundraising, like everything else we do, is grounded in honouring the dignity and agency of the mums and minis who attend the project.
Our three-word strategy has always been “ask the mums”, which keeps us agile, dynamic, and responsive to the needs of the families we support.

Key Responsibilities
• Develop fundraising plans to secure the income needed to deliver our work.
• Identify new fundraising opportunities across current donor groups and explore options to diversify our income streams.
• Research and write compelling grant proposals to foundations, local authorities, and other grant-making entities, and develop reports in line with funder requirements.
• Develop long-term relationships with funders and partners based in our organisational values and principles.
• Support colleagues to maintain accurate and relevant monitoring and evaluation information (data and case studies) to support funding applications and reports.
• Collaborate with colleagues to identify funding needs and support the development of new programmes with a view to maximising their fundraising potential.
• Ensure transparency and accountability in financial management and ensure that spending is in line with grant conditions. Person Specification
• Experience of trust and foundations fundraising in a charity (essential).Experience of other kinds of fundraising (corporate, individual giving) is a bonus. • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust and rapport with our mums and minis right through to our biggest donors.
• Self-motivated, able to work on your own initiative and willing to take responsibility for all our fundraising and reporting. • Experience using Salesforce a bonus.
• Commitment to The Magpie Project’s mission and values, with a passion for using your fundraising expertise to enable the very best opportunities and experiences for our families.

Due to the fact we are keen to fill this role as soon as possible, this will be a rolling recruitment where we interview as and when appropriate candidates emerge so please don’t delay in applying!
