Who are we?
Orchards is a Christian charity with a vision to see women free from sexual exploitation and empowered for flourishing, independent lives. We build trusting relationships with each woman and enable her to access support for lasting recovery through our main areas:
- transitional safe housing
- specialist trauma counselling
- tailored life and work skills mentoring
- the offer of local church life for community, care, and exploring faith for herself if she chooses.
We are in an exciting time of growth as we continue to operate across three sites: South London, East London and East Sussex and prepare to open our fourth safe property. We have an opportunity for someone to join our team and manage our trusts and grants fundraising as we prepare to reach more women over the coming years.
We have a Genuine Occupational Requirement that our staff members hold a Christian faith (see below for further details). You should be comfortable bringing faith conversations and prayer into your work as appropriate, as well as participating in times of prayer with the wider Orchards team. We request that all staff commit to and uphold our ethos.
Growing our income generation
We are currently recruiting for two roles in our fundraising team. Our other role is Communications and Fundraising Officer and is focused on supporter care. Both of these roles are part time. We have written them separately as we believe that typically these are two different skill sets within the fundraising space.
However, if you believe that you have strength in both areas, we'd love to hear from you. We are very open to discussing combining the roles into one full time role. A combined role would involve hybrid working including travel to our London and Brighton sites and candidates would need to be comfortable in having a broad generalist role. Both skill sets would be tested at interview. If you would like to be considered for the combined role, please specify this in your cover letter.
More homeworking options are available for the Grants and Trusts role than for the Communications and Fundraising role.
Purpose of the role
Our work is growing quickly, so it's an exciting time to join our small but brilliant team. If you are an experienced Fundraiser with a strong track record of success with trusts and grants, are enthusiastic about church-led social action, passionate about tackling sexual exploitation, and have a willingness to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, we would love to hear from you.
The ideal candidate would be a strong bid writer with experience in raising funds through grants and trusts (both Christian and secular) and statutory funding.
We have a clear fundraising strategy, a good track record with trusts and grants, existing relationships with funders, a pipeline already in place and plenty of content to draw from - so you will have a solid foundation to enable you to hit the ground running. We’d also love to benefit from your expertise, so you will be working with our Directors very closely, sharing ideas, reviewing strategy and developing and delivering new ideas and initiatives.
The purpose of this new role is to:
- Nurture our relationships with existing grant funders
- Generate new grants and trusts leads through quarterly prospecting
- Increase our grants and trusts income through bid writing
Your cover letter should include:
- An overview of your relevant experience and skills
- Why you are interested in working for Orchards specifically
- Reference to your Christian faith and how you might live out the Orchards ethos in practice
Thank you!

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
The main function of this role will be:
- Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.
- Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.
- Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.
- Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.
Job Description
- Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.
The Lullaby Trust’s guidance is constantly evolving as new evidence emerges on preventing unexpected infant deaths. However, much of our guidance, such as our Back to Sleep messaging, is based on an established and agreed body of evidence. The post holder will be required to undertake a narrative systematic review of the literature to create an updated Evidence Base for each aspect of The Lullaby Trust’s guidance, referencing established research and any relevant updated evidence. Ideally, papers would need to be readily available via open access to assist The Lullaby Trust staff with supporting research enquiries. It is important to note that whilst some of our guidance is based on direct evidence, some is indirect i.e. advising against using certain products due to association with other evidence-based guidance; therefore, the post holder should have a sound understanding of SIDS and unexpected infant death research to be able to demonstrate this link concisely.
Current topics covered by our guidance and evidence include:
Sleeping position
Clear cot
Room temperature
Bedding
Twins and multiples
Smoking
Alcohol and drug use
Breastfeeding
Airways
Co-sleeping/bedsharing
Products; slings, dummies, baby monitors
Car seats
Infection and immunisations
Premature babies
Poor antenatal care
Swaddling
Young parents
Normal baby sleep
Impact of deprivation
2. Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.
The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base is an extensive document. This project aims to make the Evidence Base more accessible and easier to update. We envisage that each topic currently covered in the Evidence Base will have a fully referenced version and a plain language version to enable them to be understood and used by a variety of service users, including health professionals and parents or carers. On completion, the Evidence Base and its derivatives will remain the sole property of The Lullaby Trust, however the post holder will be credited and there is scope for the post holder to publish an academic paper based on the project.
3. Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.
The post holder will need to support in the design of easily accessible PDF versions of the Evidence Base, including any relevant infographics and links to referenced research. Each document will need to align with the guidance available to service users via our website and in other published resources. It may be possible that the review provides insights into potential changes to the current guidance available and, where this is indicated, the post holder will work with our Scientific Advisory Group to provide the evidence for those discussions.
4. Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.
As a dynamic organisation that adapts our guidance to the most up-to-date research. Our current process involves our Scientific Advisory Group assessing new research and, if appropriate, amending our guidance or adding research to an established research library. However, the format of the current Evidence Base document creates a challenge in adding new references and evidence. The revised Evidence Base documents created by this project will need to be easily edited and updated. The post holder will be required to develop a standard operating procedure for updating the documents as part of our current Scientific Advisory Group processes.
Person Specification
Essential:
A good understanding of the research around SIDS and unexpected infant death.
Experience of literature reviews, systematic reviews, critical appraisal, and evidence synthesis.
Good written skills, including the ability to write in an accessible way.
Attachment to a Further Education Institution.
Access to own laptop/computer and necessary software.
Ability to organise own time to meet agreed project milestones.
To Apply:
Please submit a CV as well as a covering letter that outlines your proposed methodology, including key milestones and timescales for each aspect of the project.
References may be requested from successful applicants.
Post holder must be available for regular online meetings to discuss progress and at least one in-person meeting with our Scientific Advisory Group in the London office.
Please submit a CV as well as a covering letter that outlines your proposed methodology, including key milestones and timescales for each aspect of the project.
