Salary: £28,337 - £31,485 (plus London Allowance of £3,366, or Home Working Allowance of £500)

Location: Remote or hybrid (with bases located across the UK)

Context and Background

The NSPCC is the UK’s leading children's charity. Everything we do protects children today and prevents abuse tomorrow, to transform society for every child. With over 100 years’ experience, our people and partners’ collective power is focused on ending child abuse.

Every child deserves to be loved, cared for, and protected. That’s why the NSPCC listens and responds to children’s evolving needs. Through investing in new services and solutions that combine practice, policy, lived experience and research, we create, deliver and share the most effective ways to protect children.

Our work includes the world-famous Childline service, and our policy, research and campaigning bring about the changes that children need. The NSPCC’s hubs are embedded in areas across the UK, with local teams empowering partners and communities to come together to prevent child abuse and neglect.

We are part of the way through our ten-year strategy focused on creating a safer society for all children, and its delivery will only be possible with our donors’ support. The Income Generation Directorate, which leads the NSPCC’s efforts to raise funds, has evolved into one of the most successful in the sector.

Following a review of the directorate’s income, statutory funding was identified as a significant growth area for the NSPCC, with a new team created in response. Over a four-year period, the Statutory Team has built its pipeline to now secure circa £5 million per annum. There is significant opportunity for further growth, with the team’s role expanding from working with statutory funders across England, Wales and Northern Ireland, to also working on research and tendering opportunities.

Working across the charity, they will build relationships with colleagues and senior stakeholders, and source and share information with funders through engaging written materials, phone conversations and face-to-face meetings. Alongside managing their own portfolio, they will support team members to maximise new statutory funding streams for the NSPCC.

Experience of developing high-value relationships and using influencing techniques to secure income is essential to this role, as are strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to develop new proposals.

We are looking for an innovative and collaborative Project Manager, who is energised by the possibility of creating systemic change to address the lack of representation of survivors of human trafficking working within the advice sector.

This is a part-time role (21 hours a week). It is an exciting role, offering opportunities for growth and development, through working across a number of different workstreams and with strong partners, designed to deliver significant change for survivors of trafficking. 

We are proposing to offer people with lived experience of trafficking/modern slavery and migration an opportunity to gain substantial paid experience and relevant training in the advice sector, in the form of ‘an apprenticeship’, with the ultimate goal of creating a sustainable route to employment into the sector in the longer term. We also hope that this programme will model a potential new pathway to increase representation of those with lived experience of trafficking and modern slavery  in paid employment within the wider advice sector and the anti-trafficking sector more generally. 

If you are committed to ensuring that those with lived experience of trafficking / modern slavery are able to work within the advice sector, have an interest in/experience of co-production and want to have a significant impact by helping ATLEU to deliver this project we would love to hear from you.
