About Chapter One

Chapter One is a dynamic, growing charity with a vision of a world in which all children have the literacy skills needed to thrive. Our mission is to close the reading gap by providing children with one-to-one support at the time they need it most. 

Our unique Online Reading Volunteer programme currently supports about 3,000 children a year. It pairs disadvantaged, struggling five to eight-year old (KS1) readers with reading support volunteers who come from over 140 local and national businesses. The volunteer ask is very focused: readers commit 30 minutes a week to read with a child using a bespoke digital platform for an entire academic year. The results are transformative, boosting children's reading confidence and ability.

Hours: Full-Time – 36 hours per week

Contract: Permanent

Location: Remote (travel to London, Birmingham and Forests required monthly) 

This is the opportunity to play an influential and impactful role in one of the most important causes of our generation – the climate emergency.  Trees will enable 25% of the UK's 2050 net zero ambition and this role sits at the heart of this, supporting one of the UK’s largest woodland creation partnerships, England’s Community Forests.

The Community Forest Trust (CFT) is a charity that supports, enables and champions England’s Community Forests (ECFs).  Across England there are 15 Community Forests that deliver social, economic, and environmental impact through woodland creation and restoration.  In 2024/2025 they will plant over 2.5 million trees, most of which are funded through Defra’s national tree planting programme, the Nature for Climate Fund Programme.

The Managing Director will have the drive, rigour, and organisational and stakeholder management skills to develop and deliver a new CFT Business Plan.  The current Business Plan was developed in 2022 and runs to March 2025.  It has now been delivered.

The Managing Director will be responsible for providing the overall leadership and management of CFT and ensure effective governance and compliance with all legal requirements. To fulfil this aim, the Managing Director must ensure that robust structures and systems are in place to deliver CFT’s strategic priorities and CFT’s charitable aims and objectives.

A few key responsibilities of the role include:

• Take ownership of delivering the future direction and shape of CFT and deliver the CFT vision
• Provide organisational leadership for CFT, establishing and implementing business objectives through a business plan
• Work closely with the Chair of the Board, Trustees and staff, building positive working relationships in a constructive and consultative environment
• Manage the agreements (service delivery) with the ECFs with who CFT has a specific and formal arrangement
• Deliver the services and outcomes to the ECF Network, the Forests that CFT supports and those Forests that CFT runs
• Support project development work taking place at local level to support the Northern Forest programme
• Develop and lead funding strategies and write or assist with writing funding bids when required

This list is not exhaustive, please access the full job description for this role attached to this advertisment.

To be successful in the role, the postholder must have previous senior management and leadership experience gained at an organisation of comparable scale and complexity. A track record of developing and implementing Business Plans is also a must, along with experience of representing an organisation to external stakeholders and forming effective partnerships, working effectively with a board of trustees or equivalent, and managing contracts and service providers.

The postholder will have outstanding leadership skills with the ability to develop strategic plans and motivate and inspire others, knowledge of financial management, including budgets/cashflow, income generation and writing successful funding applications, and knowledge of community engagement and mobilisation.

In return, you will receive some great benefits which include:

• Competitive rates of pay
• Remote and flexible working
• 25 days annual leave per year, plus bank holidays
• An enhanced pension scheme
• Possible funded training opportunities

We welcome individuals with a general interest in the environment and its preservation.  We are also an equal opportunities employer who consider applications from all communities.

Should you be interested in this role we would be pleased to hear from you via a CV and a covering letter. Please submit this by the closing date of 18th April 2025.

Job Information

As Business Intelligence (BI) Developer you will be responsible for working with Hospice UK’s data to provide insights that support decision-making.

You’ll collaborate with colleagues at all levels to understand their needs and develop dashboards, reports and insights which help facilitate efficient, effective, and modern ways of working and a great colleague experience.

Guided by the Data Manager, you’ll ensure that Hospice UK complies with all relevant legislation and best practice such as complying with UK GDPR and maintaining our security accreditations. You’ll also work closely with other members of the ICT and Data team. 

You’ll bring a broad set of data skills and knowledge with specific technical skills and experience developing using Power BI and SQL.

You’ll be working with others to collect and analyse the data that is most useful for hospices across the UK to compare their services and understand the impact we make collectively. You’ll also combine this with third-party data sources, such as population data, which will help local hospices reach everyone who needs help. Hospice UK will use this data and insight for national research and campaigning. 

For our hospice sector data work, there are multiple data sources, some of which are bespoke databases within Hospice UK’s systems, whereas others are external including publicly available. 

Internally, within Hospice UK, you’ll work with colleagues from different departments to improve how we measure our own performance. You’ll develop a performance reporting framework which provides clarity and insight, from our Board level key performance indicators to our day-to-day operational process performance measures. 

Within Hospice UK the main data sources are our CRM, Website CMS, Grants Management, Finance and HR systems. We also use bespoke data capture forms and databases for specific purposes. 

We’re a small in-house ICT and Data team, supported by 3rd party suppliers. 

Your line manager is Richard Cooper, Data Manager. Richard joined Hospice UK in February 2024, bringing with him a wealth of experience from the private, public and non-profit sectors.

Hours: Full time, 36 hours per week (Part time option available)

The White Rose Forest (WRF) is the Community Forest for North and West Yorkshire and was voted Community Forest of the Year in 2024, in recognition of our leading role within the England’s Community Forests network. At our heart we are a partnership, working closely with local, regional and national Government, as well as our National Parks, local businesses, landowners and community organisations in Yorkshire to plant trees where they are needed the most. All our projects are designed to benefit nature recovery and our communities.

2025 is an important year for the WRF as we set out our ambitious plans and targets for woodland establishment and management in North and West Yorkshire over the next 25 years and publish our new 5-year Action Plan.  To help us deliver these plans, we are recruiting for a talented Development Manager to join our WRF core team. The White Rose Forest Development Manager is a new role that will be responsible for the development and delivery of a new fundraising function and strategy for the White Rose Forest, with support from the White Rose Forest Programme Director, the wider White Rose Forest team, partners and other stakeholders.
