About Dogs for Good
Inspired by the way her own dogs instinctively wanted to help, our founder, Frances Hay set up the charity in 1986. France’s vision was to help disabled people by training assistance dogs to make daily life easier.

· Fundraising: Seek and prepare responses to local funding opportunities and collaborate with central teams to support existing projects and develop new community fundraising initiatives

· Service Support: Assist our service delivery team, for example by finding and coordinating suitable venues for safe and effective service delivery
· Safeguarding: Monitor and take appropriate steps to safeguard clients, including vulnerable children and adults, in line with our Safeguarding Policy

Children Not Numbers is a medico-legal NGO dedicated to supporting the children of Gaza through medical evacuations, rehabilitation, advocacy, and education.
While the ceasefire has paused 15 months of devastation, the humanitarian crisis persists, and our work remains as critical as ever. Children still need urgent medical care, long-term rehabilitation, and a global community advocating for their rights.

Desirable
- Experience working in a NGO, charity or advocacy organisation.
- Familiarity with fundraising, digital marketing, or online campaigns.
- Experience running paid social media promotions.
- Fluency in Arabic (spoken and written) is an advantage but not essential.
