National LGBT+ Independent Victim Advocate

Do you want to make life better for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse?

Galop, the UK’s LGBT+ anti-abuse charity, is seeking an LGBT+ Independent Victim Advocate to support survivors remotely across the UK. 

Galop works directly with thousands of LGBT+ people who have experienced abuse and violence every year. We specialise in supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse, sexual violence, hate crime, and other forms of abuse including honour-based abuse, forced marriage, and so-called conversion therapies. We are a service run by LGBT+ people, for LGBT+ people, and the needs of our community are at the centre of what we do.

We run four national support helplines for LGBT+ victims and survivors of: domestic abuse; hate crime; rape and sexual abuse; and so-called “conversion therapy”. We provide advocacy services, both in London and nationally, for LGBT+ victims who need longer-term support. We are person-centred, empowerment-based, and trauma-informed – meaning our focus is always on helping our clients decide what is best for them, and then supporting them through their journey.

We use what we learn through working on the frontlines with clients to work on national and local policy change, to improve outcomes for LGBT+ victims and survivors of abuse and violence. We build evidence through key pieces of research, like our upcoming report into LGBT+ experiences of sexual violence. We push for legislative change, improved statutory guidance for victims, and better understanding of the needs of LGBT+ people around the country. 

We are looking forward to someone to join our growing national advocacy team, supporting survivors remotely across the UK. You will work directly with LGBT+ victims/survivors, offering them a space to talk and think through options, helping them plan what they want to do, and offering assistance in getting what they need from services. Your work will focus on needs specifically related experiences of abuse or violence, including issues such as wellbeing, support with the criminal and civil justice process, safety and access to other services to enable survivors to cope and recover. You will be empathetic and thoughtful in your approach to understanding your clients’ needs, while remaining boundaried and mindful of self-care.

You will work with mainstream services to ensure the voices and experiences of LGBT+ survivors are represented in order to make change for our community at a local and national level. You will also work closely with key partner organisations by attending meetings and have the opportunity to take part in external work to ensure a joined-up approach among services working with LGBT+ people facing abuse and violence. 

You will have expertise in delivering needs-led specialist support services. You will need to be solutions-focussed and enjoy working collaboratively across a diverse and committed team. You’ll need to have good resilience and self-care, and be prepared to work in an environment where abuse and violence are regularly talked about. You’ll need to understand the impact of trauma and how that affects our team.

WHO WE ARE

The Humane League (THL) is a global nonprofit ending the abuse of animals raised for food. THL fosters a high-energy culture of teamwork and mission-driven problem solving, and we have earned recognition as Top Charity from Animal Charity Evaluators for all of their rating periods. Over the past few years, we’ve grown to a staff of 100+ talented individuals dispersed across the country and around the world. At THL, how animals are treated in the food system is at the forefront of our everyday work. As such, many of our staff are vegan by personal choice, and all of our THL-hosted events offer fully vegan menus. We welcome all mission-aligned candidates to apply, no matter where you are in your journey to end the abuse of animals raised for food.

YOUR OPPORTUNITY

The Open Wing Alliance (OWA), a program of The Humane League, is a global coalition of approximately 100 animal protection organisations across 75 countries united in a common goal: to end the abuse of chickens worldwide. For the past several years, we have focused our efforts on eliminating battery cages by securing cage-free policies from major retailers, restaurants, and manufacturers. OWA groups share tactics and resources to secure as many wins for animals as possible, specialising in institutional campaigning that can be tailored to our members’ unique circumstances and challenges.

The Humane League is seeking a tenacious, determined, and well-organised individual with the drive to create progressive change for millions of farmed animals. The Temporary OWA Europe Regional Lead (Maternity Cover) is responsible for carrying out all aspects of our coalition’s work in Europe. This includes strengthening the OWA’s presence in Europe, developing and maintaining positive and collaborative relationships with OWA and partner organisations, empowering groups to coordinate regional campaigns, overseeing grants made in the region, and supporting groups in advancing institutional campaign work in their countries. Many Europe-based OWA groups are focused on the European Chicken Commitment (ECC) and broiler chicken welfare, although some remain focused on securing cage-free commitments.

As Temporary OWA Europe Regional Lead, you will be part of the OWA Member Support team, a small, high-impact team that specialises in coalition and capacity building. The team fits within the Global Programs department at The Humane League. The department has a strong understanding of corporate outreach and campaigning for improved corporate policies by multinational food businesses, and we leverage that knowledge to strengthen the global animal protection movement through the OWA. The Temporary OWA Europe Regional Lead role reports to the Director of the Open Wing Alliance.

This is a temporary, full-time, remote position requiring international travel, equivalent to approximately 3-4 week-long trips per year. This is a fixed term contract to cover Maternity Leave for up to 15 months. Employment is expected to begin on approximately October 7, 2024 and end on approximately December 31, 2025.  The duration of employment may be extended or shortened at The Humane League’s discretion. The Humane League is not the employer of record (EOR) for this position; the successful candidate will enter an employment agreement with a local EOR with whom The Humane League partners.

We are only able to consider applicants who reside and possess work authorisation in the United Kingdom.

We will be recording a webinar hosted by Carley Betts, Director of the Open Wing Alliance, and Annie Evans, Associate Director of the Open Wing Alliance, Europe, Middle East, and Africa. You can submit any questions you would like answered regarding the role or The Humane League via this form. Please submit any questions by Thursday, August 1, 2024. The webinar will be available to watch on the job posting by Tuesday, August 6, 2024.

The purpose of the Philanthropy Officer role is to support with the Trust’s approach to building and developing income from philanthropic sources, including Trusts and Foundations, organisational donors, and individuals, as well as supporting the effective stewardship of our family of supporters. We are setting ambitious fundraising targets to substantially increase income for the next phase of our 2030 strategy to grow activity across the organisation and support the widest cohort of beneficiaries possible.

The Development team has secured a relatively stable income of c.£6M of income over a number of years. 22/23 was our strongest year yet with an income of £6.8M and pledges of £12.8M, and we look set to exceed this in 23/24. Philanthropy revenue accounted for just less than half of the income in 22/23 and we believe there is potential for much more as the philanthropic community continues to invest in social mobility and unlocking young people’s potential to create a fairer society where everyone can succeed no matter their background.

The Philanthropy Officer will work on a key income stream for the Sutton Trust, developing a robust pipeline of Trust and Foundation prospects and delivering high-quality account management to a portfolio of small to mid-level Trusts, Foundations, and organisational donors. The scope of the role will also include supporting the Head of Philanthropy on strategic management of our major Trust and Foundation partners and the Philanthropy function’s overall fundraising operations.

• Supporting the Head of Philanthropy on strategic management of our major Trust and Foundation partners, including administrative activities and data collation for reporting.
• Assisting with information gathering and writing inspiring, compelling reports and proposals to Philanthropy funders, as well as targeted donor communications.
• Working closely with the Director of Development to project manage the annual donor impact report, coordinating departmental submissions from the Senior Leadership team and working with our design agency to create a professional external report of the highest standard, in a timely manner.
• Providing general administrative support to the Philanthropy team and Director of Development, such as arranging meetings, note-taking, supporting with gift fulfilment, processing expenses, preparing gift receipts.
• Supporting the Philanthropy Manager and Head of Philanthropy on administration and maintenance of low-level online giving campaigns, including automated stewardship activation (i.e. once gifts are received, ensuring supporters are thanked appropriately and understand the impact of their support for the Trust to encourage repeat support).
• Managing the Trust’s online fundraising platforms such as JustGiving and CAF US/ Canada to enable smooth processes while ensuring new and existing regular donors are appropriately thanked and have inclination to support in the future.
• Work with colleagues across Development to support the transition of our online giving capabilities to the Trust’s website and the implementation of a low-level regular giving strategy.
