Introduction to the role
“Working at Full Fact is such a joy - the fundraising team are supportive, ambitious and positive.”
We are in danger of entering an era in which none of us believe anything we read, see or hear. Misinformation and disinformation have been identified by the World Economic Forum as the greatest global risk we face over the next two years. Bad information promotes hate, damages health, and hurts democracy.
Full Fact is an independent, impartial charity that fights for a world where we can trust the information that shapes our lives. Every day, we fact check harmful claims from politicians, the mainstream press, or on social media. We have created world-class AI tools to help us do this, which we license to fact checkers in 26 countries, including some of the most difficult places in the world for fact checking. We are a national and global player, using what we learn to push for policy change in Westminster and in Silicon Valley.
We are looking for a dynamic, cause-driven Trusts and Foundations fundraising leader to join us in the fight against bad information.
This role will lead our Trusts and Foundations programme, working from an existing £1m+ pipeline of major UK and international funders, as well as identifying and approaching potential new supporters. You will be creative and innovative in seeking out new opportunities, as we are looking to expand our fundraising into new areas of fact checking, such as climate misinformation and support for US fact-checkers. You will thrive on working with a range of colleagues and senior stakeholders to pull together information and develop compelling proposals for complex issues and projects.
Reporting into the Head of Development and line managing a Trusts Manager, you’ll be part of a successful and supportive team, with a commitment to recognising and developing people’s talent.
You will play a crucial role in holding our political leaders to account, countering the spread of dangerous misinformation online, and fuelling the development of AI tools for social good around the world.
If you are interested in applying but not sure you have all the skills, please do apply. We are open both to supporting learning on the job and to rearranging tasks within the team to suit the skillsets of the best applicant

Armed Forces Lead
The Shed movement is growing and this is an exciting time to join UKMSA as we work to support and promote Sheds for the improvement of health and wellbeing, adding years to life and life to years.
Funded by support from the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust’s Embedding Prevention Veterans Suicide (EPVS) programme we - seek a full time Armed Forces Lead to support the creation of new Men’s Sheds nationally, focussed particularly on those soon to leave the Armed Forces, reservists and veterans.
We already have many veterans who are Shedders (people who participate at Men’s Sheds nationwide) and have shared their stories of how much Sheds mean to them and how they have changed their lives for the better. There are several areas across the UK where the concentration of Sheds is relatively low. We are now seeking a rapid growth in the number of Sheds in these areas, targeted at this group, which will have a significant and direct impact on reducing suicide, loneliness and improving wellbeing.
This pilot project will run for 2 years, in which time we expect this role to work with those communities affected to develop a national Armed Forces and Veteran’s Sheds Strategy (including a Veteran's Accreditation Scheme for existing Sheds).
This is an exciting pilot for UKMSA. It will be supported not only by our own organisation, but also by our strong partnerships, including the Royal British Legion (RBL).
Men’s Sheds create community connection, increased social contact, the sharing of skills and a continuation of the camaraderie experienced in the Armed Forces. This role will see you primarily engaging with communities to help others develop new Sheds in a way we know to be effective.
This is a home-based role with frequent travel across the area, with occasional overnight stays and some national meetings. It will require a successful DBS check.
Please apply as soon as possible as we will be arranging to meet potential candidates at the earliest opportunity.
We are the support body for Men’s Sheds across the UK. We work hard to inspire and support the development of Men's Sheds.
