The IME is a small charity with staff consisting of the Chief Executive, a Digital Content Editor, the Membership & Administration Officer with support from a Finance Contractor.  The staff work alongside approximately 70 volunteers that sit on the various committees and working groups.

This vacancy has come about due to the early-retirement of the current post-holder who will provide a handover along with some training during role induction.

As a charitable organisation we promote and support the impartial study and understanding of medical ethics and its integration into clinical practice through education, research, and publication.

Join London's Child Poverty Charity to deliver life changing work to ensure every child in London is well prepared for life. The Childhood Trust works to change the landscape for children living in poverty. Since 2013 The Childhood Trust has raised £50m million through our matched fundraising campaigns that have enabled us to fund the delivery of projects across all London boroughs, engaging an estimated 300,000 children and young people annually. Our advocacy and research reach audiences in the millions to raise awareness of the impact of poverty on children and our volunteering programme transforms children’s lives through direct delivery.

The Childhood Trust’s volunteering programmes are a vital part of our work. Not only do they deliver direct support to children experiencing poverty in London, they help us to engage volunteers in making a real, tangible difference.

As the Project Officer for the Transforming Spaces programme, you will work closely with the rest of the team to manage our pipeline for families accessing support. You will attend site visits to scope projects and lead on the design and planning of the refurbishments. As someone with excellent relationship management skills, you’ll communicate effectively with both beneficiaries and our corporate partners to ensure the success of the programme. 

You will join our friendly, hybrid team and be passionate about our mission and vision. You will be someone who thrives in our small charity culture, which is collaborative, innovative and agile as well as having the ability to work autonomously and have an appetite for continuous improvement to ensure programmes and projects run smoothly and are executed to a high standard.  There will be opportunities also for growth and development within the role. 

Who are we?

Orchards is a Christian charity with a vision to see women free from sexual exploitation and empowered for flourishing, independent lives. We build trusting relationships with each woman and enable her to access support for lasting recovery through our main areas:

• transitional safe housing
• specialist trauma counselling
• tailored life and work skills mentoring
• the offer of local church life for community, care, and exploring faith for herself if she chooses.

We are in an exciting time of growth as we continue to operate across three sites: South London, East London and East Sussex and prepare to open our fourth safe property. We have an opportunity for someone to join our team and manage our trusts and grants fundraising as we prepare to reach more women over the coming years.

We have a Genuine Occupational Requirement that our staff members hold a Christian faith (see below for further details). You should be comfortable bringing faith conversations and prayer into your work as appropriate, as well as participating in times of prayer with the wider Orchards team. We request that all staff commit to and uphold our ethos.

Growing our income generation

We are currently recruiting for two roles in our fundraising team. Our other role is Communications and Fundraising Officer and is focused on supporter care. Both of these roles are part time. We have written them separately as we believe that typically these are two different skill sets within the fundraising space.

However, if you believe that you have strength in both areas, we'd love to hear from you. We are very open to discussing combining the roles into one full time role. A combined role would involve hybrid working including travel to our London and Brighton sites and candidates would need to be comfortable in having a broad generalist role. Both skill sets would be tested at interview. If you would like to be considered for the combined role, please specify this in your cover letter.

More homeworking options are available for the Grants and Trusts role than for the Communications and Fundraising role.

Purpose of the role

Our work is growing quickly, so it's an exciting time to join our small but brilliant team. If you are an experienced Fundraiser with a strong track record of success with trusts and grants, are enthusiastic about church-led social action, passionate about tackling sexual exploitation, and have a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, we would love to hear from you.

The ideal candidate would be a strong bid writer with experience in raising funds through grants and trusts (both Christian and secular) and statutory funding.

We have a clear fundraising strategy, a good track record with trusts and grants, existing relationships with funders, a pipeline already in place and plenty of content to draw from - so you will have a solid foundation to enable you to hit the ground running. We’d also love to benefit from your expertise, so you will be working with our Directors very closely, sharing ideas, reviewing strategy and developing and delivering new ideas and initiatives.

The purpose of this new role is to:

Amnesty International has a simple aim: an end to human rights abuses. Independent, international, and influential, we campaign for justice, fairness, freedom, and truth wherever they are denied. We achieve change through investigating and exposing human rights abuses, lobbying, campaigning, and educating on human rights and how to claim them.

Do you want to use your skills, knowledge, and experience to help change the world? Then apply to become Amnesty International UK's Head of Individual Giving and help raise the funds that can make that happen.

About the role

Leading the Individual Giving team, the Head of Individual Giving is also a member of the Fundraising Leadership Team (FLT).

You will directly manage the Supporter Acquisition Team and lead on Individual Giving strategy development and deliver growth as outlined in the new income generation strategy by enabling its implementation, maximising opportunities to grow net income and member / supporter numbers by making the goals and work of Amnesty International compelling to the UK public, inspiring them to donate and showing them that they are part of a powerful movement for human rights.

You'll oversee the planning, budgeting, and performance of the Individual Giving programme, including our in-house tele-fundraising business unit, in accordance with the goals and priorities of the income generation plan and organisational strategy. Expenditure budget is circa £3-4m per annum to achieve an income budget of circa £17m per annum across a range of products and channels. You'll be accountable for the compliance of the individual giving programme, which raises funds and recruits supporters across the two separate-but-related legal entities that make up Amnesty International UK.

You don't need to have worked for a campaigning / advocacy-based organisation before - but you will need to be excited about leading an individual giving programme that helps fund one.

The role may be for you if:

• You're experienced at management level within fundraising or business-to-consumer direct marketing, working with £1m+ budgets to achieve net income / profit and essentially will be able to give examples of the delivery of supporter / customer growth.
• You're an expert in what makes compelling fundraising communications and targeting external audiences using a range of direct response channels, including digital.
• You have a good knowledge of direct marketing performance metrics and how to use them to make evidence-based decisions.
• You have a solid knowledge of UK legislation and regulation relevant to direct marketing, including GDPR (and ideally, you'll be familiar with the Code of Fundraising Practice too).
• You'll live and work by the principles of equity, inclusion, and anti-racism and know how to embed these in team culture and in interactions with internal and external audiences.

Inclusion, diversity, equity, and anti-racism (IDEA) are at the core of our values. We want to be an organisation that tackles structural inequality and prejudice and is actively anti-racist.

You'll receive 27 days (pro-rated for part-time) leave annually, rising to 29 after five years; and your 2-5% employee pension contributions will be matched at 6-9%.
