This is TLC’s first Major Donor role. Over the past few years our organisation’s size and reach has grown considerably. We have experienced much success in winning new contracts and generating income from grants and Trusts – however, large and unrestricted donations remain an untapped potential resource for TLC. As the need for our services grows, so does the need for funding.

About you

We’re looking for someone who is ambitious and not afraid of a challenge – we know our expectations are high and it’s an increasingly competitive landscape. However we’re fully committed to making this work and the successful candidate will have the support and backing of our incredibly talented team.

Key to success in this role will be your well-established networks, excellent relationship building and influencing skills and ability to articulate TLC: Talk, Listen, Change’s mission in a powerful and compelling way that leads people to make substantial donations. You’ll be comfortable delivering against ambitious (though realistic!) targets and we will incentivise exceptional performance.

You will work closely with our Director of Development and our wider Development and Marketing teams.

We’re particularly looking to diversify our leadership and management teams across TLC with people from global majority ethnicities, as we know we are under-represented in this area.

About us

TLC: Talk, Listen, Change is a relationships charity that has been providing support to individuals, couples, families, and communities in the North of England for over 40 years. The charity focuses on promoting emotional wellbeing through the cultivation of safe, healthy, and happy relationships. Originally serving Greater Manchester, the organisation has expanded its reach to help people all over England. We offer a range of services tailored to meet the diverse relationship challenges faced by the community. Our commitment to evolving our services ensures we continue to meet the growing needs of those we serve.

We value safe, healthy, and happy relationships both within the workplace and beyond, emphasising a culture that is safe, authentic, and person-centred, reflecting our commitment to valuing staff as much as the people we support. Our organisation takes pride in being progressive and inclusive. We have made specific commitments to staff well-being and inclusivity, such as the Age-Friendly Employer Pledge, supporting Afro-hairstyles through the Halo Code, and endorsing the White Ribbon campaign to end men’s violence against women. These initiatives support work to build an equitable and respectful work environment.

We aim to encourage a culture where people can be themselves and be valued for their strengths. We seek to attract and employ the best people from the widest pool, reflecting the diverse range of people we support.

We also believe in empowering our team members to bring their best to their work. That’s why we offer flexible working hours around core business times. We also provide an annual Professional Development allowance, a generous annual leave package, and even time off for your birthday, Health and Wellbeing Day and EDI-focused Volunteering Day.

We want to make our recruitment processes accessible to everyone. As standard practice we provide interview questions prior to the interview so we can concentrate on getting to know you. If there is any way that we can support you to be the best you can be, please contact us.

Dear Candidate, 
Thank you for your interest in the solicitor role at the Black Equity Organisation. 
The role will be a stimulating and inspiring opportunity for an experienced equality and discrimination lawyer to work pro actively and strategically to use the law as a tool for change. 

BEO is a civil rights charity that was set up to challenge and dismantle systemic racism. We work with Black communities by using campaigning, policy and research in conjunction with the law to effect meaningful change. 
Legal services are central to BEO. We are therefore looking for someone of 4yrs PQE who has experience in social welfare, human rights, public and administration law and who seeks an opportunity to use those skills specifically in the area of challenging systemic racism. 

In the last year we have been developing our relationships with partner organisations, ranging from community groups, our stakeholder law firms, NGOs and law firms experienced in equality and discrimination law, to deliver legal services.

We are building our internal legal team so that we can provide targeted legal support to Black communities. We are looking for someone to work with the Director of Legal Services and Policy to ensure that high quality legal advice, support and representation are the hallmark of BEO. 

Apart from delivering targeted legal advice and representation and identifying and running strategic litigation cases, the role holder will be required to think creatively to assist in fundraising and campaigning to develop a sustainable legal service. BEO does not have a Legal Aid Agency contract so self funds all legal work. BEO is a small team, so the role holder must have the skills and confidence to work on their own initiative as well as with members of other teams in BEO. 

About You-
We are looking for someone who is excited about being part of a team that will build a legal service and who can work with Black communities and be guided by them. 
You will also be able to demonstrate that you are aware that Black communities are not homogeneous and you will bring this understanding to the way that you approach your work and interact with clients, our partners and community organisations. 

Your qualities will include an understanding that intersectionality is relevant in all that we do at BEO and that your assessment of how we use the law will be seen through that lens. 

You will be someone who has lived experience of or insight and comprehension of the impact of racism on all aspects of the lives of members of Black communities. 

In return we offer flexible, hybrid working from day one, a 5% employer pension contribution, a generous leave, maternity and parental leave package together with a strong focus on wellbeing and the chance to be part of the task of dismantling structural racism

If this sounds like you, please do click apply!.

About us

The Tudor Trust is a grant-making organisation with a long-standing commitment to funding smaller, grassroots organisations.  We are winding down our current grant-making strategy and are reevaluating and developing a new strategy centred around racial, social and economic justice.

In tandem with our strategy review, we are undergoing a comprehensive change process, which includes refreshing our Board and rebuilding our staff team.

Tudor is looking to research and understand its past in detail as it makes this significant transformation.

About the role

Ahead of Tudor Trust’s 70th anniversary in 2025, a moment that coincides with the transitioning of the Board from family to independent trustees, we are looking for a historian of postwar Britain to produce a comprehensive report that celebrates Tudor’s impact, marks key milestones of change in the organisation’s history, and reflects on the social and political context in which Tudor has developed since 1955.

You will work with Tudor’s archives (and begin the process of cataloguing them), conduct oral histories with internal and external stakeholders, and write a comprehensive report that narrates and analyses Tudor’s 70-year history.

Are you passionate about supporting older people to develop and maintain their physical wellbeing? We are looking to recruit an Exercise at Home Coordinator, sitting within the Wellbeing & Connections team, to deliver a programme of activities that can support older people with mobility challenges through exercise at home. 

The desired candidate will have a Level Three Fitness Qualification (PT) and will assist clients to gain confidence through movement, including chair-based exercise, and walking support for older frail clients in their home. The role is pivotal in enabling people with chronic conditions to become more active, and for people who have temporarily lost mobility to regain the confidence to walk. To ensure the ongoing effectiveness of this programme offer, the role will include training and supporting volunteers. 

Role functions: 

• Running our Exercise at Home programme – assessing new clients in their homes, prescribing exercise programmes for clients that align with their needs and goals, training volunteers to deliver the programmes, and managing the day-to-day running of the project.
• Delivering walking support sessions - these will be tailored to be accessible by those who have either recovered from a fall or have had surgery and need the confidence to access the community. These sessions will enable people to increase their mobility, whilst also having an opportunity to socialise with others in the local community. Training volunteers to assist clients with walking support will be a key part of the role. 
• Co-ordinating other community-based physical wellbeing activities, including our monthly Flaneur Walks during the warmer months, and any new projects that arise. 
• Networking with relevant local bodies, NHS trusts, GP clinics, and social services to make them aware of the services we provide and to strengthen our presence in the field. 

The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills and have at least one year’s experience of working with older people. A Level Three Fitness qualification is compulsory and a qualification in delivering exercise programmes for those with mobility issues would be advantageous.
