Uniting to Combat NTDs are looking for an exceptional administrator and coordinator to provide complex logistical support to the Uniting team and governance groups.

Salary: circa £33,000 per annum

Location: UK Remote, with quarterly travel to Brighton

Contract: Fixed Term Contract to December 2025 with possibility of extension, funding dependent.

Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of preventable and treatable diseases that affect about 1.65 billion people around the world. The World Health Organization currently recognises twenty diseases as NTDs.

Uniting to Combat NTDs is a global advocacy organisation that exists to end NTDs by mobilising resources in support of the World Health Organization's NTD road map and the Sustainable Development Goals.

In February 2023, we conducted a mid-term review of our 2021-2030 strategy to assess its continued relevance in light of the substantial global challenges that have emerged since its inception. While we re-affirmed the strategy's continued importance, we recognized the imperative of intensifying our efforts in resource mobilisation to address persistent funding gaps, the absence of dependable, long-term funding mechanisms for global NTD programs, and significant changes to the global health architecture.

Our target over the next five years is to mobilise over US$2bn towards the WHO NTD road map from a range of sources, existing and new, including from donor governments, multi-lateral development banks, affected countries, and innovative financing. Our success will be measured by the volume of funding we are able to mobilise for countries and individuals affected by NTDs.

Asset managers, insurance companies and banks hold a huge amount of influence over the world’s largest companies through their investment, lending and underwriting activities.

• Engagement with relevant institutions and providing them with detailed recommendations for improvement.

• Keeping up to date on relevant news and information on the financial sector and the thematic areas covered by our work.

What you’ll bring to the team

We welcome anyone who shares our passion for environmental and social justice through the transformation of the financial sector. Please feel free to apply even if you’re not sure you tick every box.

Essential

• Excellent analytical skills, attention to detail, and a proven ability to conduct qualitative and quantitative research.

The British Academy – the UK’s national body for the humanities and social sciences – is seeking a maternity cover Events Manager (Academic) to join the Communications and Marketing department to devise and deliver the year-round programme of academic and specialist audience events.

The role

The Events Manager (Academic) will be responsible for the management and delivery of the British Academy’s year-round academic events programmes (Conferences, Lectures, Public Engagement and Prizes & Medals).

The role holder will work closely with the Head of Events on the planning and strategic development of the programme, overseeing the annual call for proposals for conferences and public engagement grants, the biennial selection process for lectures and the nomination and selection process of prizes and medals.

As Events Manager (Academic), you will manage academic partners at institutions across the UK, and lead on the organisation and successful delivery of events online and in-person (in London and at partner venues across the UK).

You will be someone who thrives on delivering live events aimed at academic or specialist audiences, has a passion for sharing academic research and has the skills to ensure events are delivered effectively and of the highest quality.

You will have experience in managing and developing people, whether directly managing staff or leading on a task or dotted line basis. A core part of this role is working in partnership with teams across the organisation, and so we are looking for someone who is collegiate, flexible and understands how to build positive working relationships across a diverse range of skillsets and experiences.

You will be joining at a time of exciting change, with the recent completion of three brand-new state-of-the-art events spaces at our home on Carlton House Terrace. You will play an important role in contributing to the ongoing programme for this new development.

This is a full-time position on an 11-month contract to cover maternity leave.
