We are a mission-driven, not-for-profit organisation, focused on the core belief that vibrant, diverse and inclusive civil societies are essential catalysts for a world where everyone can thrive. We believe that locally available civil society support is essential as part of the wider movement to ‘shift the power’ to enable those tackling inequality and injustice to be resilient and effective, to navigate changes in their context and contribute to long-term inclusive locally led change.  This is an exciting time for the organisation as we move from envisioning our strategy to implementing it.  

Our strategic framework, Locally Rooted, Globally Connected will guide INTRAC’s practice over the next five years, as we evolve to becoming a network-led organisation, influenced and informed by the priorities, insights and aspirations of our network members, and the networks we interact with.  Together we will work to shift how civil society support is conceived and delivered: to transform civil society support eco-systems, so that local and global organisations are supported to develop, engage with others, and do what they want to do, better, to deliver just, equitable and sustainable societies.  

The role of strategic funding is crucial to this transformative change.  We are looking for an individual who is committed to anti-racist and feminist leadership to join our senior leadership team and help drive this change.

You will have significant experience and a proven track record in developing and delivering fundraising strategy, particularly focused on trusts, foundations and philanthropy, taking a relationship-based approach to build partnerships with organisations that share similar values and vision.

You will work with the team to build our capability, partnership, systems and processes to steward relationships, develop grants and manage their delivery.  Working with our Communications Co-ordinator you will help to build INTRAC’s profile and position in line with our strategic vision and ambitions.  You will have active support from the CEO along with strong board commitment to help develop and deliver this role.

This is a part time role (0.6-0.8 FTE); initially offered as an eighteen month contract with the intention to extend should the role be successful.

We are a remote organisation, with staff working across the UK. As we become a global network we are looking at options as to how to expand our staff base in different geographies, as we believe this will benefit INTRAC and support our strategic direction.  However, we do not have a straightforward way to do this currently. Whilst we are open to considering applicants from all parts of the world we will not sponsor visa applications. If you are based outside the UK and are keen to consider one of our roles please email Jenny George to discuss details.

To apply for the role please share a copy of your CV and respond to the following three questions (word limit 750 words):

1. Build Partnerships: Please tell us about a time when you have built a long-term relationship and secured strategic funding from new funder.

2. Leadership: Please tell us about a time when you challenged current practice in an organisation and embedded a new way of working.

3. Communication: Please tell us about a time when communicated a complex issue, raising its profile and encouraging others to engage with it/act on it.

· the Situation in which you acted,

· what you were Tasked to do,

· the Actions you took and

· the Results you achieved and

· what you learnt from the process.

Answering the questions in this way will help the short-listing panel recognise and understand clearly the combination of knowledge, skills and competencies that you bring to the role.

Provisional interview date: 11th February 2025.

About Gaddum

At Gaddum, we treat everyone as individuals. We really get to know those we help, understanding their world to offer a range of support that’s right for them. Our promise of tailored support is made possible by our breadth and depth of knowledge, through our unwavering commitment to the local people of Greater Manchester. Our experience listening to generation after generation, for nearly 200 years, has taught us the importance of considering not just the individual but also the relationships around them. Our innovative approach means we can not only build resilience, but identify further risks, providing preventive support now and in the future. At Gaddum, we believe that by supporting individuals, we ultimately help support entire communities. Our aim is to empower and enhance the lives of the people we exist to support.

About the Accelerating Reform Fund

The Accelerating Reform Fund is a new initiative which aims to transform social care services, making them more responsive to the needs of the community. It is a national programme, with 42 regions allocated to have their own projects. Greater Manchester is one of the ARF regions. The ARF has a particular focus on unpaid carers and aims to boost short-term breaks for carers and improve hospital discharge processes. This work is made possible by Department for Health and Social Care grants. As an organisation, Gaddum has supported and collaborated with unpaid carers for many years, so we’re excited to bring our experience to the table. This role will be based in the Manchester team working to improve hospital discharge processes.

Job Summary

To develop and ensure safe discharge planning and information for patients and unpaid carers. To embed procedures to raise awareness of the needs of carers in a secondary care setting, working in partnership with the discharge, virtual and enablement teams. To empower carers to be involved in the discharge process.

Job Purpose

The purpose of this role is to provide operational leadership and oversight of the Carers Hospital Discharge Pilot in Manchester. The role involves line-managing a team of three Hospital Discharge Workers across multiple hospital sites, ensuring effective collaboration with hospital staff and community services to support carers. The aim is to enhance the identification and referral of carers, ensuring timely and appropriate support to prevent carer breakdown and facilitate smoother, safer, and more efficient hospital discharges. By fostering strong relationships with health teams, discharge teams, and local services, this role bridges the gap between secondary care and community resources, contributing to improved outcomes for carers and patients alike.

Introduction and background

The Maternal Mental Health Alliance (MMHA) was founded in 2011 by people with lived experience, healthcare professionals, and organisations who understood the impact of perinatal mental problems and shared a commitment to improving the lives of women and their families.

Today, the MMHA is a UK-wide charity and network of over 130 member organisations. We work with parents, families, clinicians, and academics to ensure all women, birthing people, babies, and families have access to high-quality, compassionate mental health care. We bring the perinatal mental health community together and make change happen by combining the power of real-life experience with clinical and professional expertise.

We actively contribute to significantly improving mental health outcomes for people who experience discrimination, trauma and deprivation during the perinatal period and tackle systemic inequity and injustice.

We are now seeking a Chief Executive to take over from our interim CEO and lead the MMHA in the next stage of our development.

We have recently been awarded a 5-year grant by the National Lottery Community Fund to tackle maternal mental health inequities through community action. This project, due to start in Spring 2025, will develop, test and replicate a model of community-based decision making, support and service provision that is led by women with lived experience. This project aims to achieve system change locally and nationally to improve the mental health of marginalised women and is the next phase of the MMHA’s programme to tackle maternal mental health inequities across the UK. This will be our biggest piece of work over the next five years and will dovetail with other activities aimed at achieving our mission, where funding allows.
