We are looking for a determined, skilled, proactive trusts fundraiser to join our small team in this newly created role to help stop children dying suddenly and without explanation.
Tragically, 1-2 seemingly healthy children die in the UK every fortnight, often going to sleep and never waking up. This incidence is unchanging. SUDC UK was founded in 2017 to raise awareness of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), encourage and fund scientific research and offer support and advice to affected families. We believe SUDC research should receive more attention and scientific investment and are inspired by efforts to impact SIDS (cot death), where there has been an 80% reduction in infant deaths in the past 30 years. We can do so much more for SUDC children and their families.
Why apply to SUDC UK? The post holder will be joining our ambitious, passionate, young charity, which consistently punches above its weight. SUDC remains relatively unknown to UK funders, but we are desperate to change this. Despite the current challenging trust fundraising environment, we are hopeful there are philanthropists and grant makers who will be inspired by our impact to date and the enormous potential to save young lives.
Fully remote. A home-based and flexible role. Collaboration over Teams/Zoom. Very occasional travel to meetings/events.

We are commissioned to carry out Quality Checks of support services where people with a disability or mental ill health live, including Supported Living settings, Residential Homes, Day Services, Assessment and Treatment units and individual homes. The purpose of the Quality Checks is to ensure that people who live in these settings are safe, and living healthy, happy and meaningful lives and that the support they receive is appropriate to their needs.
All our Quality Checks involve a Quality Checker (an Expert by Experience) with lived experience of disability or mental ill health working alongside a Quality Checking Coordinator. On visits, we talk with people living in these settings to gather information regarding their quality of life and the quality of care and support they have.
The Coordinator’s role is to organise the checks and facilitate them on the day, whilst the Expert by Experience asks most of the questions. The Coordinator is responsible for compiling all the information gathered during the Quality Check and producing a report which is shared with the Provider and Commissioners. The Coordinator also has line management responsibility for a small number of the quality checkers on the team.
As part of this role, you will also provide floating coordination support for a range of other projects.
Hours and pay:
Hours: 26 hours per week
Pension: IG operates the NEST pension scheme and will contribute 3% subject to qualifying status
Salary: FTE (£29,444.46) pro rata, or £15.10 per hour.
Location: Railway House, Bruton Way, Gloucester, GL1 1DG and offsite at locations across and occasionally outside of Gloucestershire. There is the opportunity to work flexibly from home when not engaged in onsite visits.
Holiday: 28 days + bank holidays pro rata
We are proud to have been recognised with an Inclusive Employer award but realise that people from some backgrounds are under-represented in our workforce and across the wider charity sector. A more diverse workforce will enable us to deliver even more impact, and we particularly encourage applications from communities which are currently underrepresented. This includes people from ethnically diverse communities, people with lived experience of disability or mental ill health, and people who are neurodiverse.
