Refugee Council is a leading charity supporting refugees and people seeking asylum to rebuild their lives in safety here in the UK.  Providing practical, hands on support, their award winning services include welcoming refugees into local communities across the country, providing specialist children’s services – with a particular focus on refugee children who arrive here alone, helping people to navigate the asylum system, and supporting people to access housing and employment.  Evidence from services is then used to also inform the charity’s leading policy and influencing work, including campaigning for a fairer and kinder refugee protection system.  The charity works with more than 14,000 men, women and children every year.

As a result of growing need and increasing interest in Refugee Council’s work, the charity has ambitious plans to make a leap in impact, with investment in their Philanthropy Team to raise increased funds from key high value audiences.

This role will be a critical part of the Philanthropy & Partnerships management team and represents a brilliant opportunity to support the growth and development of our major donor, trust and statutory and corporate partnerships portfolios.

Refugee Council will provide the most moving and diverse case for support. Cases that encompass innovative external affairs campaigns aimed at engaging policy makers and the public.

Refugee Council knows that step change takes time and planning, and they have put together a plan for growth that is ambitious but is also realistic and allows time for development and engagement. This plan also includes recruiting prospecting, stewardship, and communications expertise, so that growth is supported, planned and achievable.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic and ambitious team recently shortlisted for Fundraising Team of the Year at the 2023 Third Sector Awards, and working with the Third Sector 2023’s Frontline Service Team of the Year, as well as contributing to the transformation of the experiences of refugees seeking protection in the UK.

Rekindle Supplementary school is proud to be partnering with the Oasis Charitable Trust to open our second, transformative provision at the stunning St. Martins in the Field building in Tulse Hill, South London. 

Rekindle@Oasis St Martins Village will open later this year, Monday to Friday from 4- 7.30pm.

Rekindle will be part of a therapeutic village specialising in offering support to working class children who are struggling to thrive in their mainstream education. 

We believe, ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’ and Rekindle will work collaboratively, alongside other like-minded organisations, based at the St. Martins in the Field building. United in our commitment to tirelessly support local young people and their families to reach their full potential. 

To make this vision a reality we need an outstanding Youth Team Manager to join us on an interim basis of 12 months. As an experienced manager of a youth team provision or experienced youth worker, you will be passionate about driving excellence and facilitating young people to develop their talents. 

We offer nurture and support to working class young people (aged 11 - 14) who have faced numerous challenges and a well-meaning but often erratic education system.

Our primary focus is to design an approach that offers care, support, connection, hope and aspiration. An approach that pushes young people to believe they can be more, but first establishes the solid foundations to catch them when they fall (and they will, often). An approach that first cares about what young people care about, where adults act as mentors and provide space for safe conversations that calm the raging fears of teenage minds.

We believe that a truly motivated and committed village can raise very special children and we intend to create an environment where young people believe they can soar, with the community support, cultural development and a curriculum that supports fierce critical thinking.

This is no ordinary school or educational establishment. We have a board of trustees all aged 18 - 30 years old who have shaped the vision, created the curriculum and who will oversee the process at every stage.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have a positive impact with an organisation by developing the curriculum. You will be a natural leader with awareness of the challenges facing working class young people and the current affairs that have an impact on them.  You will be enthusiastic about facilitating change in South London and its future.

• Upholding health and safety standards and maintaining positive relationships with the local neighbourhood.

About You...

Your ability to work within policies, procedures, and regulations is essential to maintain a safe and effective environment.

If you are ready to contribute to empowering vulnerable individuals and making a positive impact on their lives, we invite you to apply. Your dedication and commitment will play a vital role in helping our residents transition towards a more independent lifestyle.

Event manager is a new role at the Progress Educational Trust (PET). It is the ideal opportunity for someone with excellent organisational skills to take PET's prestigious events to the next level.

PET provides impartial and accurate information to people affected by infertility or genetic conditions, and provides platforms for them – and relevant experts and practitioners – to discuss scientific, ethical, legal and policy developments in these areas. Key to this is PET’s programme of regular online debates and annual conference.

We have created this role to lead on the delivery of that programme of public events, working closely with PET’s Director. It’s a varied role with responsibility for event planning and delivery, marketing, sponsorship liaison, speaker management, supplier management and attendee support.

PET is a small charity with a big reputation for providing influential discussions on often challenging issues. You’ll be joining at an exciting time as we look to extend our reach, helping to improve choices for more people affected by infertility or genetic conditions.
