Operations And Business Development Lead Jobs

Are you self-motivated, flexible and adaptable, content to work both independently and collaboratively as part of a team? Do you share our passion for serving those crossing our threshold and for those in need in our town? If you think this role could be calling you, please read on. 

We believe God’s vision for Coffee Bar is to be a place of wellbeing, belonging and community which strives for justice for the people we serve. We want to recruit someone who shares our vision for social justice, and who brings skills and experience to strengthen our team.

We have achieved a huge amount through our dedicated staff, trustee and volunteer team so why appoint a Capacity Building, Partnerships & Funding Coordinator? Our work and impact have been recognised by several funders, including The National Lottery Community Fund which recently awarded Coffee Bar a five year funding package. But there is more to do. We want to build capacity, enhance our collaborative working model and improve financial resilience so that Coffee Bar is sustainable and continues to respond to and meet the changing needs of our community. This new role will be core to developing what we do and how we work.

This is a new and multi-faceted role which will develop over time, although your key responsibilities will be:

•   Capacity building - developing skills, support and structures

•   Partnership development and management - sustaining and enhancing our partnership and collaborative working model with statutory agencies and fellow VCFSEs

•   Building financial resilience – including securing new funding

Because of the nature and the importance of this role, we are seeking candidates with experience in at least two of the three key areas (or deep experience in one of these areas).

We’d love to hear from people who are excited by this opportunity to increase Coffee Bar’s effectiveness, sustainability and resilience, equipping Coffee Bar for growth and supporting Holy Trinity’s mission of reflecting the love of Christ in the heart of Warrington.

The closing date for applications for this role is 24th February 2025 and more details about the role (including essential skills and experience) and the application process are available on our website.

You will use your professional curiosity to explore unmet needs. You will also be able to work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure a wide range of needs are met.

Skills and Experience

· Be comfortable working directly with residents and taking a holistic, empathetic approach

· Understand eligibility and help apply residents apply for the relevant benefits

· Able to navigate relevant systems including Academy, Comino, Jigsaw and LIFT

The successful candidate will have a passion for writing, excellent organisational, presentation, communication and record-keeping skills, with an ability to understand and interpret financial data.  The post holder will need to be self-motivated and a team player, with flexibility and a willingness to develop and expand the role. In this exciting position, you’ll have the opportunity to draft compelling proposals, identify and cultivate relationships with grant making organisations, and secure gifts ranging from £100 to £10,000.

Experience of fundraising from charitable trusts and foundations, building project budgets and the use of the Raisers Edge CRM system as well as knowledge of prospective funders within the trust and foundation and corporate sectors would be advantageous, but not essential.

About the role

Myeloma UK has an ambitious plan for income growth. We launched a new organisational strategy in 2024 and will launch our new research strategy in mid-2025. We’re making amazing progress in the research and treatment of myeloma – but we need to go further, faster. This position will play a critical role securing grants of up to £10K from trusts, foundations, and grant funders for a range of innovative and life-changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy.  The role will work closely with the Senior Trusts and Grants Officer, who leads on the medium and large grants programme, and income from pharmaceutical partners.

The post holder will deliver the grant process from start-to-finish including administration, research, and managing and growing a pipeline of small trusts. You will work with colleagues from across the charity to build high quality proposals and develop reports for funders. You will also work directly with funders to understand their priorities and offer excellent stewardship.

About us

At Myeloma UK, we are making it possible to live longer and better lives with myeloma. Through research and treatments, we find new ways to a cure. As the only UK charity focused exclusively on myeloma and related conditions, we have transformed treatment and care over the past 25 years, helping quadruple life expectancy for many patients. But we need to go further, faster – because people with myeloma can’t wait. We are uniquely placed as an organisation to improve the lives of people affected by myeloma by investing in innovative, life-changing research, advocating for patients to get access to new treatments on the NHS, and providing free information and support services to patients and their families.

We are at a pivotal moment in our journey. Our new strategy, developed in collaboration with the myeloma community, alongside clinical, research, and policy leaders, focuses on three core areas: preventing myeloma, treating myeloma, and living well with myeloma. In the first year of this strategy, we have already made significant impacts: convening global leaders in early-stage myeloma to investigate prevention, securing the provision of three next-generation treatments on the NHS, and launching the Myeloma UK Survivorship grant to fund research into improving patients’ quality of life. But there is more work and achievement to come. Join us on our journey!

Hackney Here To Help (formerly known as Hackney Money Hub) is an easily accessible, resident-facing, multi-disciplinary service that brings together benefits advice with assessment for a range of discretionary grants, in a delivery model that has data-led, active community outreach at its heart.

One of our core goals is increasing residents’ income by tackling benefits under-claiming in the borough. For 2025, we will be focussing our work on supporting residents in temporary accommodation or who need homelessness support.

The Income Maximisation - Disability Benefits team is one of four teams within Here To Help. It offers expert disability benefits advice, mandatory reviews and represents residents at tribunal hearings.

The Disability Benefits Specialist will report to the Income Maximisation Lead.

One post is available. We would prefer this to be on a full-time basis but would consider four days per week (80% FTE).

Key accountabilities

In this role you will support disabled people (or households with a disabled person) to access a full range of welfare benefits, discretionary support, reductions, and exemptions. You will lead on mandatory review and tribunal work, including deciding on applications to take through the review process, preparation of documentation, supporting the individual resident and representing them at tribunal hearings.

You will also support the wider Money Hub team by working collaboratively on cases, developing colleagues’ skills, and understanding of the support available for disabled people, people with long-term illness, and people with caring responsibilities and by giving feedback on likely eligibility on a case-case basis.

Skills and Experience

In order to be successful in this role you will need strong Welfare and benefits knowledge; experience of drafting grounds for appeal, written submissions and tribunal representation, experience of working with a close-knit team; and be able to demonstrate a commitment to improving the lives of those most vulnerable in our community. More information can be found in our attached supporting documents.
