Equal Opportunities

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

We are committed to building a diverse organisation that represents the communities we serve and ensuring inclusion in everything we do. During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and be at your best.

The members of our Support Services team are highly skilled, passionate and committed, so we are looking for a leader who can both support and inspire them. The successful candidate will be skilled in leading a team as well as able to work as part of the team, hands-on if needed. They also will be personable, reflective, and tenacious, always striving to provide what best helps Carers, and the people they care for, to lead fulfilling lives.

As well as being a Line-manager, you will be part of the ‘Senior Leadership Team’ led by the CEO. To enable your professional wellbeing and development, you will have regular supervision, be supported by a Senior Manager as well as your peers, and have access to external training and mentoring chosen by you.  

The post-holder will have experience of overseeing, developing and evaluating services for Carers, or perhaps mental health, wellbeing, or similarly targeted information, advice or support services or projects. You must demonstrate experience working in partnership with health, social care and other voluntary sector organisations and have a good understanding of, and be flexible to, the needs of Carers as well as the organisation.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced feminist Fundraising Manager to set RISE on a new path to independence. We are looking for a new person to join us to grow income, to enable us to diversify our fundraising approach, including major donors, legacy giving and securing corporate support and sponsorship. You will be managing a small team and working closely with the CEO.

RISE is a relatively small but highly respected women-centred domestic abuse charity deeply embedded in the Brighton and Hove community with 30 years’ experience. Our vision is ‘Freedom from Abuse and Violence’ and our strategic aims are on our website.

The role has clear fundraising priorities, but we are looking for someone willing to lend-a-hand to support our high-profile events and able to work well as part of a relatively small staff team. We are hoping to find someone who is a confident and organised feminist leader and an influencer who is as committed and passionate as we are to ending male violence and abuse.

RISE is a relatively small organisation with around 20 staff. We are a busy and (for our size) complex charity, with a friendly team, a positive ethos, and a commitment to ensuring that RISE is a strong and efficient organisation and a great place to work.

The successful candidate will be creative, organised and resourceful, possess excellent cross-discipline communication and income generation skills and have solid experience in running successful awareness-raising campaigns, maximising digital channels and securing press coverage to increase RISE’s reach.

We offer hybrid working with some requirements to be onsite. We believe in creating a positive environment where our differences are respected and each of us feels valued for our contribution.

On appointment, you will be expected to complete a DBS disclosure and supply us with references.
