About this role
Join the mission to protect our planet's future by becoming our Senior Grant Officer. Synchronicity Earth is a growing organisation with an expanding team, and we are now looking for an experienced Grant Administrator to take ownership of the grant-making process within the team and organisation, building on the structures already in place to ensure we are a supportive and dynamic place to work.
Our grant-making model is unique. We channel philanthropic donations from trusts and foundations, corporate foundations, corporates or individual donors through partners and grantees (identified by our in-house team of conservation experts who make up the ‘Research Team’), which are undertaking conservation work in those areas that most critically need support. The central core and operating costs of Synchronicity Earth are generously covered by the Synchronicity Foundation, which means that any donation we receive is disbursed out to the field without a management or administration fee taken. This enables the donor to have confidence that 100% of their funding is going out to the field and delivering impact.
Synchronicity Earth’s mission is clear: we blend passion and action to provide safe havens for endangered species, support communities living in harmony with nature, and turn conservation into a worldwide effort. By joining, you're not just taking part; you're weaving your own story into a future that's brighter and sustainable for all.

- Monitor and track grantee compliance with all report submissions and any other key deliverables.

- Support the Programme Team in development of rolling 3-year plans for funding, and liaise with Philanthropy Team to allow planning for fundraising.
- Provide advice and guidance to applicants and grantees on administrative procedures, policies and practices.

About us
Synchronicity Earth is a UK-based, global environmental charity which funds and supports organisations and individuals that aim to make our planet a better place to live for all its inhabitants.
We are a medium-sized charity which supports partners working to protect less well-known species and ecosystems around the world that receive less attention but face the greatest threats. We do this through our conservation Programmes, which identify, fund, and support organisations with a focus on: Amphibians, Asian Species, Congo Basin, Biocultural Diversity, Freshwater, and Ocean. We also support projects across two other areas: the More than Carbon initiative, a portfolio of climate and biodiversity projects targeted at corporate donors; and the Synchronicity Portfolio, which aims to foster systemic change to promote a greater focus on biodiversity conservation within different sectors. Our partners are mostly organisations embedded within their local communities, and often projects which also consider social impacts such as women’s health and empowerment, engagement with Indigenous Peoples, and sustainable livelihoods (e.g., small-scale fisheries) in addition to wildlife conservation.
Our workplace values and culture
We pride ourselves on having an open and inclusive culture. Our team supports each other and encourages new ideas and creativity to help us develop new projects and reach new audiences with our work. We aim to apply the same dedication to a flourishing diversity of people and wildlife on our planet through our programmes to our working environment and strive to make this environment open and inclusive for everyone. We recognise that the environment sector (and our organisation, as part of it) does not reflect the diversity of the global community it serves (particularly in terms of ethnic diversity) and has a long way to go to be as inclusive as possible to ensure people from all backgrounds and personal situations feel welcome in the workplace.
Reporting, location, and work hours
This position is a permanent position that is based in Synchronicity Earth offices in Central London, with the option for hybrid office/home working if the successful applicant wishes with a minimum of 3 days a week in the office (laptop would be provided for home working). During a 6-month probationary period we would require 4 days per week in the office. The successful candidate must be eligible to work in the UK until at least the end of 2028, we cannot accept applicants who require visa sponsorship for this role.
Application & Recruitment Process
Inclusion is a priority throughout our workplace culture and is embedded in our recruitment process (we are actively still seeking to improve it through employee and candidate suggestions). For example, the first stage of recruitment will be anonymised to mitigate against unconscious bias. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds for this role, particularly non-graduates, and are happy to discuss flexible working arrangements.

Applications close at: 9 a.m. Friday 13th September 2024

About Dreamflight
Dreamflight is an independent UK charity which provides amazing holidays for children with a serious illness or disability.
Since 1987, we have taken over 6,500 children on their holiday of a lifetime to Orlando and, in recent years, have expanded to also offer exciting activity breaks in the UK.
The children leave their families behind and are instead accompanied by teams of medical and non-medical volunteers to help encourage independence and confidence and provide lots of fun. Though Dreamflight holidays last a relatively short time, the benefits for these children are often life-long.
Dreamflight has grown since its inception 38 years ago, with considerable strategic and operational support from our dedicated Trustee board, small but mighty office team and incredible volunteers.
About the role
With the current CEO stepping down after 11 years and with exciting plans to develop our offer further in future, we are now looking for a new Chief Executive to lead us into the next phase of growth and strategic development.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking an outstanding people leader with a successful senior leadership track record in a relevant organisation of a similar scale. Experience leading teams and working with and galvanising volunteers across the UK and internationally would be an advantage.
As a visible and credible ambassador for the charity, you will represent the organisation with confidence and authenticity to a wide range of stakeholders, from our committed volunteer base to fundraisers and corporate partners to the young people we support.
You will be passionate about making a lasting impact on children’s lives and empowering our staff and volunteer teams to thrive.
While remaining sensitive to our successful legacy and mission, you will bring an appetite and vision for growth.
You will be committed to making each of our holidays the best they can be and to supporting more children by providing more and more diverse types of holidays in the future.
You will also be commercially astute with financial management and budgeting experience. Experience in developing successful fundraising strategies would be highly advantageous.
Above all, you will be motivated by our cause and the opportunity to change children’s lives – a collaborative and inclusive leader willing to roll up their sleeves and get ‘stuck in’.
