The main function of this role will be:

1. Review The Lullaby Trust’s current Evidence Base.
2. Create a revised Evidence Base including the production of plain language versions for each topic.
3. Work with our designer to create final accessible PDF copies for each topic.
4. Develop a standard operating procedure for updating the Evidence Base in future.

Job Description

1. 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.

Borders Forest Trust (BFT) is investing in their first dedicated, in house fundraising post to provide strategic oversight and expertise to all the charity’s fundraising activity. 

BFT was established in 1996 to restore the ecological health of the various habitats of the South of Scotland, an area with the lowest percentage of native woodlands in mainland Scotland. Since 1996, BFT has been planting new native woodland, restoring peatland and improving many other natural habitats, enriching the biological diversity of around 31 square km across the Southern Uplands and the wider region. 

They demonstrate landscape scale ecological restoration in action, and inspire landowners, statutory bodies, local communities and policy makers to embrace more sustainable models for land use and conservation practice.

Fundraising to date at BFT has seen much success, but it has been responsive and ad-hoc as opposed to planned according to strategic need. To achieve Borders Forest Trust’s vision, and to provide sustainable long-term income, they are investing in a dedicated Development Manager.

The Development Manager will join BFT at an exciting stage, the entire organisation is behind this position and understands the need for it. They are looking for a fundraiser who will thrive on the challenge of designing and implementing their own fundraising strategy and who can provide the expertise needed to build income across all areas. 

The Board of Trustees have highlighted corporate partnerships and philanthropy as areas of great potential, so experience across one or both areas will be valuable for the successful candidate to evidence. 

There is so much potential for this post holder to deliver fundraising success. 

Please download the Candidate Pack for information on how to apply. All interested candidates will have an informal screening call with THINK Recruitment before progressing to submit an application. Please ensure you apply with enough time to have a call before the closing date.

Pratham is one of the largest and most respected education charities in India. We developed a model that can teach a child to read and do basic maths in as little as 30 days for £14. We also have preschool, vocational and women's education programmes. We work closely with JPAL who have run a number of RCTs on our work, and it was also recomended as just one of three smart buys by the What Works Hub for Global Education.

We have strong support from the UK Indian diaspora and are in a period of significant growth, having tripled in size in three years. We now raise £1.5m a year and are ambitious to at least triple again. 

While you will work in a small, fully remote team daily, you will be part of the global Pratham network. The team in India has over 6,000 staff, and they raise $28m locally. Pratham USA has 14 chapters and produces around 12 galas annually, contributing to its $30m income. We have recently launched Pratham International, and we will work with them to reach more children worldwide in the years ahead.

The  Senior Grants Manager is a key strategic role focused on securing large grants for Pratham’s flagship Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) program and vocational training work in India, while also supporting Pratham International’s expanding global initiatives.

You will play a vital role in building meaningful relationships with institutional donors, trusts, and foundations across the UK and Europe. With a strong evidence base underpinning our programs and global recognition of Pratham’s impact, this role offers significant scope for both growth and influence.

We are seeking a passionate and experienced Fundraising Manager to join our small and dynamic team during an exciting period of growth for the organisation. This newly created role will be a crucial role in developing and implementing fundraising strategies to support our mission and ensure the financial sustainability of the Charity.

It will include identifying new funding opportunities as well as creating strategies to build our regular donors, discover and work with high-net-worth individuals, develop corporate partnerships and legacy campaigns. This role will also consist of overseeing community fundraising initiatives and managing one member of staff initially (a community fundraising co-ordinator). 

We are looking for someone ambitious and creative with a positive attitude, happy to roll their sleeves up and get involved to enable us to achieve our goals.

This senior role will be part of our communications and fundraising team reporting to the Marketing Director.

This position offers an exciting opportunity for someone who is driven, innovative, and committed to making a positive impact across Neuroendocrine Cancer UK (NCUK) to build a new fundraising team.

About you

Do you want to use your skills to make it possible for people with myeloma, an incurable blood cancer, to live longer and better lives?

Myeloma UK is looking for a motivated and highly pro-active Trusts and Grants Officer to join our Philanthropy team within the wider Fundraising directorate. We welcome applications from people with prior experience or transferable skills who want to explore trusts and grants fundraising and/or fundraising within the health sector. The successful candidate will have a passion for writing, excellent organisational, presentation, communication and record-keeping skills, with an ability to understand and interpret financial data.  The post holder will need to be self-motivated and a team player, with flexibility and a willingness to develop and expand the role. In this exciting position, you’ll have the opportunity to draft compelling proposals, identify and cultivate relationships with grant making organisations, and secure gifts ranging from £100 to £10,000.

Experience of fundraising from charitable trusts and foundations, building project budgets and the use of the Raisers Edge CRM system as well as knowledge of prospective funders within the trust and foundation and corporate sectors would be advantageous, but not essential.

About the role

Myeloma UK has an ambitious plan for income growth. We launched a new organisational strategy in 2024 and will launch our new research strategy in mid-2025. We’re making amazing progress in the research and treatment of myeloma – but we need to go further, faster. This position will play a critical role securing grants of up to £10K from trusts, foundations, and grant funders for a range of innovative and life-changing programmes – including patient and family support, research and advocacy.  The role will work closely with the Senior Trusts and Grants Officer, who leads on the medium and large grants programme, and income from pharmaceutical partners.

The post holder will deliver the grant process from start-to-finish including administration, research, and managing and growing a pipeline of small trusts. You will work with colleagues from across the charity to build high quality proposals and develop reports for funders. You will also work directly with funders to understand their priorities and offer excellent stewardship.

About us

At Myeloma UK, we are making it possible to live longer and better lives with myeloma. Through research and treatments, we find new ways to a cure. As the only UK charity focused exclusively on myeloma and related conditions, we have transformed treatment and care over the past 25 years, helping quadruple life expectancy for many patients. But we need to go further, faster – because people with myeloma can’t wait. We are uniquely placed as an organisation to improve the lives of people affected by myeloma by investing in innovative, life-changing research, advocating for patients to get access to new treatments on the NHS, and providing free information and support services to patients and their families.

We are at a pivotal moment in our journey. Our new strategy, developed in collaboration with the myeloma community, alongside clinical, research, and policy leaders, focuses on three core areas: preventing myeloma, treating myeloma, and living well with myeloma. In the first year of this strategy, we have already made significant impacts: convening global leaders in early-stage myeloma to investigate prevention, securing the provision of three next-generation treatments on the NHS, and launching the Myeloma UK Survivorship grant to fund research into improving patients’ quality of life. But there is more work and achievement to come. Join us on our journey!

This is a hybrid position, with travel to the Edinburgh office at least four times a month.

Wellbeing and staff engagement are at the heart of our culture.  We offer our employees a range of benefits including a pension salary exchange scheme, flexitime, flexible working from home with hub-based office working, health plan, employee assistance plan and holiday purchase scheme and we are committed to providing learning and development opportunities for all our employees.
