About Unlocked

Unlocked Graduates exists to break cycles of reoffending. Currently prison isn’t a place which successfully does this – the average prisoner has 16 previous convictions and 55% of those released from short term sentences reoffend within one year. The work we do is both extremely challenging and massively urgent. We aspire to have deep impact on the landings of individual prisons, but also breadth of impact through the whole sector, and society at large.

Since 2017, we have sought to lead this change by recruiting, training and challenging the best graduates in the country to become prison officers. Our two-year programme has put the role on the map as a career where the best people can develop extraordinary leadership skills whilst making a real difference. We are established as a Times Top 100 Graduate Employer, and recognised in the UK and internationally for the impact our participants have on the landings.

We know that we will never achieve change on our own. Real, long-term change depends on our ambassadors – those who have completed the programme and are driving impact across the criminal justice system. To be an Unlocked ambassador is to be part of a movement for change: Whether they stay on the front line, shape national policy, or lead work in the wider sector, they draw on their shared experience to push for meaningful reform. By supercharging their collective expertise, we are building the momentum needed to transform prisons and break cycles of reoffending.

Our mission

The mission of Unlocked Graduates is to break cycles of re-offending by developing outstanding individuals to lead rehabilitation in prisons and throughout society.

About the role

Our ambassadors are connected by a powerful shared experience, deeply held values, and a collective commitment to furthering our mission. The Ambassador Network Manager role is integral to harnessing this potential, ensuring our growing community remains engaged, connected, and empowered to make an impact.

We have strong engagement across the ambassador network and work closely with this community involving them in our programme, and supporting them to tackle cycles of reoffending in whatever path they choose. We have made a significant strategic commitment to investing in a purposeful, high-impact ambassador network; one that fosters connections, empowers ambassadors to thrive in their careers, and drives collaboration across the sector.

As our network grows, this role needs to go beyond one-to-one relationship management, applying community organising and self-sustaining network-building principles to ensure ambassadors can support and mobilise each other. Our strategy is evolving at pace, so we’re looking for someone who can test and trial new approaches to engagement, bringing fresh ideas and adapting quickly.

We are looking for someone with proven experience in relationship building and community management, with a drive and enthusiasm for growing our network to have impact.

For more information about the role, please see the job description below.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a small but ambitious grassroots charity run by and for women seeking asylum. WAST has a proud track record of providing a safe space for women to come together in solidarity and campaign for justice in an increasingly hostile environment.

We are looking for the right person to work alongside WAST’s management group of women seeking asylum to successfully take forward WAST’s development priorities – supporting women through the asylum system, campaigning on the issues affecting them and supporting wellbeing through a trauma informed approach. You will work to maintain and develop WAST’s infrastructure and resources to ensure its continued strength and stability.

You will need to have relevant experience in charity or public sector management and fundraising, with a positive participatory leadership style. You will have excellent interpersonal and partnership building skills with a commitment to supporting women seeking asylum and to WAST’s values of compassion, respect, inclusion and empowerment.

WAST has recently restructured and expanded its staffing team. As Manager, you will be assisted by two part-time coordinators: the Engagement and Programme Coordinator (an established member of staff) and a new Coordinator role, which you will be expected to help define and recruit.

This is an exciting time for WAST as we look to develop with the growing needs of our organisation.

Background Information

WAST is run by and for women seeking asylum and currently has around 170 members. It was started in 2005 by WAST’s current Chair whilst fighting her own anti-deportation campaign and became a constituted charity in 2014. Its purpose remains to provide a safe space for women coming together in solidarity to offer support, share information and help each other to survive and to get their leave to remain in the UK. Women are at the sharp end of the ‘hostile environment’ with punitive government immigration policies and practice. WAST enables a process of empowerment through which women gain the confidence and strength to voice their experience and campaign for justice.

WAST is a place of hope and belonging with its core values of compassion, respect, inclusion and empowerment and its continuous development of its trauma informed peer support approach.

WAST is proud of its pioneering work giving a voice to women seeking asylum and inspiring other women around the country to set up similar groups. WAST has been at the forefront of national campaigning against detention, has published three books and created two plays, giving voice to women’s experiences.

Activities are led by the WAST Management Group elected by the membership and supported by WAST staff, currently a part-time Engagement and Programme Coordinator (and we will soon be recruiting for a second part-time coordinator role).

Application information

The post is based at the WAST office in central Manchester with some opportunity for remote working. The post is for 28 hours a week.

We welcome applications from all sections of the community. As an organisation led by and for women seeking asylum, we particularly encourage women with lived experience as a refugee or migrant.

There may be scope for the appointment to include a development phase for the right candidate. This could include the provision of some training and support to enable the post holder to fully meet all requirements of the role.

A little bit about the role 

Please note this role will be closing at 9am on Monday 24 February. 

The fundraising manager role sits in the fundraising team within the external relations division. The fundraising team is responsible for raising between £1m and £1.5m in fundraised income annually. Frontline’s philanthropic income complements the significant contract income the charity receives from central and local government and enables the charity to carry out its broader mission to create social change for hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged children.

Since we were founded in 2013, Frontline has leveraged its success to build committed, high impact partnerships with a number of prestigious supporters including trusts and foundations, corporates and high net worth individuals. Our new fundraising strategy focuses on continuing to grow our network of supporters by maintaining excellent relationships with our current funders while identifying new potential donors, and at the same time testing and developing fundraising through community and events and individual giving.

The successful candidate will work closely with the head of fundraising and the fundraising officer to implement Frontline’s annual fundraising plan, taking specific responsibility for growing our public fundraising income through community and events fundraising, individual giving and digital fundraising while also supporting building and developing partnerships with corporates. They will work closely with other teams to increase engagement with our fundraising activities from across the organisation, including staff, fellows (alumni of our programmes) and programme participants. The fundraising team is supported by the marketing, events and communications staff of the external relations division.

Some key responsibilities include:

• Lead on developing our public fundraising income (individual giving/community and events fundraising), working with other teams and external agencies where suitable to increase engagement among our audiences and grow our public fundraising income by:
  • Recruiting and stewarding participants in fundraising events
  • Encouraging people to raise funds for Frontline 
  • Testing and running fundraising appeals

A little bit about you 

We will be looking for applicants who have experience across a range of fundraising areas (in particular, community and events fundraising, individual giving, digital fundraising as well as corporate or major donors) to add strength to the team and allow us to pilot new fundraising initiatives. Frontline is at a turning point of a new fundraising strategy, and we need someone to help drive this forward, finding new opportunities to raise money and support for Frontline.

We have a fast-moving culture within the team and organisation, so we’re looking for someone who is who is well organised, details-focused and can use their initiative to do what works. You will have excellent communication skills, be able to build relationships with people and be willing to learn. There are lots of opportunities for growth and development in this role – and for the right candidate to make the role their own. 

If you feel you have the skills to make a real impact and contribute to creating lasting social change for children and families, we would love to hear from you. 

Important information

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater racialised minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value racialised minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply. We are also a disability confident employer and welcome applicants with disabilities.

We recognise that artificial intelligence (AI) such as ‘ChatGPT’ etc can be useful for applicants e.g. to shorten an initial draft, so we do not attempt to have an absolute ban on AI in applications. However we would caution applicants not to rely too much on AI in drafting answers to application questions. We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you. You are more likely to be able to produce that kind of content yourself than an AI will.

We reserve the right to close this role ahead of the deadline once we reach a suitable number of applications, so please apply as soon as you can!

You will need to have current right-to-work in the UK prior to application and for at least the first six months (for permanent positions) or for the full duration of the contract (for fixed-term positions). Visa sponsorship is not guaranteed.

About This Role

Over the last seven years we have grown into a recognised leader in the fight for menstrual equity. This is underpinned by a strong and diverse fundraising programme at Bloody Good Period, along with a distinctive, stand-out brand which is frequently sought out for highprofile partnerships from partners across industries. We raise c£750K per annum, which delivers our impactful programme of work to meet immediate menstrual health needs via providing period products and menstrual education, and campaigning for long-term change so that we (ultimately) no longer have to do this work.

We are now recruiting a Fundraising Manager to cover parental leave for nine months. It’s an exciting time to join our team, as we build on strong foundations and develop our work in High Value fundraising in particular. This xed term contract will focus on delivering a new strategy for corporate and Major Donor fundraising, as well as line managing a new Fundraising Ocer to deliver our day-to-day fundraising portfolio.

We are an inclusive, feminist organisation, which champions remote and exible working, and puts self-care at the heart of what we do. We oer a specic leadership and development programme for BPOC members of the team to develop their careers within the social justice space, and a wellbeing fund to support every team member. We work hard and deliver, but we do not overwork. We enjoy our work and take pride in it.

We strongly encourage applications from Black and People of Colour, and from those who have lived experience of the issues on which we work, namely period poverty or menstrual inequity.

While the successful candidate will be selected purely on merit, in the event of a tie between two candidates with equal suitability, we may select a candidate with lived experience of the issues we are seeking to address through our work. 

We recognise that many potential candidates who bring the voice and lived experience that we need, may have had less opportunity to develop a track record in these roles. Bloody Good Period prioritises the development needs of everyone who works with us, including in this role.
