When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.

We're looking for someone a bit special who believes in the deep potential of children who are not thriving elsewhere in life. We’re looking for experience, passion, energy and the drive to go the extra mile on these young people’s behalf.
The position is a dual role.

Crucially, a core aspect of the role will be leading an average of 8-10 of our residential projects across each year - working on the ground with the children, leading the volunteers, and helping make the projects special, safe, and transformative for vulnerable young people, many of whom have complex needs. You’ll be joining a small staff team of 8, supplemented by a vibrant and committed group of volunteers.
Attendance at approximately 8-10 five-six night residential projects per year outside London is a core component of this role.
On offer to the right candidate:
Salary: Circa £29,000-£34,000, dependent on experience.
Hours: Fulltime: 37.5 hours per week. Essential attendance on at c.8-10 residential projects a year.
Leave: 25 days per year, plus bank holidays and up to 13 additional pre-set discretionary reward days in September and during the Christmas period.

To start: Ideally, February 2025.
Who we’re looking for:
Our next Youth Work hero. You'll be fun, active, energised, deeply experienced in work with young people with complex needs, and looking to join an organisation you can believe in and who in return will believe and invest in you.
You’ll have multiple years’ experience working alongside young people who might struggle in other settings and will be used to dealing with a range of challenging behaviours and complex support needs, ideally including mental health support needs,with a good understanding of safeguarding. You’ll have the flexibility to work away from home on up to 10 week-long residential projects per year. Ideally, you’ll also have experience of leading projects for children – whether residential or non-residential. Experience of working on or leading residentials projects themselves is not required but may be an advantage.
We are a small, vibrant, friendly staff team of 8, growing to 9 by the summer, supported by a committed volunteer base of around 200.
We are particularly keen to encourage applications from those who can help us represent the lived experiences of our children through their own lived experience or background.

Use your communication skills to help inspire the UK Church to participate in sharing the gospel with people in hard-to-reach places.
About us
At Feba UK, we are passionate about God’s mission, and the creative use of radio and other audio media to inspire people to follow Jesus. We have a particular heart for people in places considered closed or hard-to-reach: where people might not hear the gospel by any other means, or where it’s difficult to be a Christian.
About our development
Since Feba UK was established 65 years ago to help communicate the gospel by shortwave radio, much has changed with big shifts in technology, missiology and geopolitics.
We no longer operate radio infrastructure or ‘send’ missionaries from the UK. Instead, we support local partners with training, expertise, prayer, and funding to produce culturally appropriate programmes in the listener’s ‘heart language’. Radio and other audio technology means they can reach people at scale and follow up in-person as listeners respond.
Today, our model of working with local, indigenous partners has a powerful impact in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.
About the role
We now seek a Head of Communications and Engagement to focus on engaging the Church in the UK, where increasingly fewer churches see world mission as a priority. This role will take the lead on changing this, inspiring the Church through Feba UK’s ministry, reawakening its members to the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to bring transformation to some of the most disadvantaged and oppressed communities around the world.
About you
You will be a communications and engagement leader with a track record of developing and delivering high impact communication strategies who is adept in using digital and non-digital media. You will come with an empowering, prayerful and servant-hearted leadership style that listens deeply and fosters collaboration, and you will have a passion for mission.
If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you. For more details including how to apply please see the appointment details attached. Closing date 6th January.
Thank you!
We want people to be in control of their end-of-life decisions because there is no-one better to make them. We support people to make informed choices, start honest conversations about death and dying with loved ones, and record and revisit their wishes whenever they want to.
Our nurse-led information line is a unique service, which helps to ensure people’s wishes are known and respected at the end of their lives. We do this through advance care planning and by helping people to make decisions about treatment and navigate the healthcare system. The service sits at the heart of the organisation. We listen to what people tell us and amplify their voices to drive changes to policy and healthcare practice. In 2023 we supported over 4,000 people and call volumes are increasing.
We are delighted to be expanding our clinical team and are looking for two dedicated and motivated nurses who can provide accurate, clear and practical verbal and written information and support.
The successful candidate will have relevant clinical knowledge and experience alongside excellent communication skills, enabling them to convey complex information in a straightforward and sensitive way by phone and email. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the expansion of a growing information service which not only delivers direct support to people, but also drives improvements in practice. This is a new permanent position, with potential to develop within the role.
We are looking for two part-time nurses, three days per week, however our priority is finding the right people or person and therefore we would also consider one full-time position, or part time positions for a different number of days. Please state in your application how many days per week you wish to work.

We focus on using and championing high-quality evidence, working directly with government and local leaders to provide practical solutions and encourage change. We’re an organisation with ambitious aims and our people are essential to our success.
The Programmes Team at Foundations plays a key role in the generation of actionable evidence in early intervention and children’s social care. We strive to raise the standards and volume of good quality research in the sector by identifying promising interventions and building up and strengthening the sector’s capacity to take part in, learn from and use high quality evidence.
We use programme funding as a mechanism to support the generation of new evidence where there are gaps, and as a lever by which to influence the standards of research in the wider sector. As a What Works Centre, we fund the delivery of a programme in order to commission an independent evaluation to determine the impact of these interventions on outcomes of interest.
The Programmes Team is responsible for ensuring grant funding and commissioning are done to the highest standards across the organisation and the team also oversees a varied portfolio of delivery grants.
Our Programme Managers span many areas of expertise. We're therefore looking for an individual to join our team, with strong experience in one or more of the following areas:
· Project management and/or programme management
· Grant making or commissioning
· Grant management.
We are particularly keen to see applicants with the above experience who have worked in the early intervention and children's social care sector and/or research sector. We also welcome applications from individuals who have lived experience of children's social care, or who have worked directly in practice.
We value and celebrate diversity and are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all our employees. Our people are at the heart of everything we do. We believe it’s vital that our workforce reflects the diversity of our stakeholders, and the wider society in the UK, and we actively seek candidates from diverse backgrounds and communities.
