Jobs in Europe
Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the role of F100 Project Manager for the Black Equity Organisation, Sky Future 100 Programme. BEO has recently launched in 2022, and our mission is to dismantle systemic racism in the UK.
We are looking for an ambitious, experienced and talented Project manager who possesses the entrepreneurial experience needed to play a key part in ensuring our £1m BEO and Sky partnership for Black entrepreneurs to launch and grow their own businesses in the UK is an unmitigated success - could that be you?
Future 100 provides unprecedented access to direct financial support and supply chains, backed up by expert business advice, coaching and mentoring, to break down the significant barriers faced by Black British entrepreneurs when setting up businesses. The programme will also create a vital and tight[1]knit community of Black British entrepreneurs, with valuable, regular opportunities to network and share experiences, successes and challenges.
We are looking for someone with a track record of managing accelerators, who has extensive project management experience and who understands the mindset of a Black start up entrepreneur. You will be able to interface effortlessly with potential investors and others who offer support to Black talent who face huge barriers to investment, and human capital.
You will be a strong team player with the ability to establish strong relationships, manage complex programmes, identify and manage risks and also manage budgets. We also need someone who understands that it is lack of access to the opportunities to create family and community wealth that drives disadvantage in our community. We want to eradicate the key drivers behind race-based wealth in-equality in the UK within a generation, and we are actively working in close partnership with a range of actors to make that vision a reality.
In return we offer flexible, hybrid working from day one, a 5% employer pension contribution, a generous leave, maternity and parental leave package together with a strong focus on wellbeing and the chance to be part of the task of dismantling structural racism.
Are you the highly motivated self starter that we are looking for to become part of this unique opportunity?
We look forward to hearing from you!

Our aim is to reach every family that needs our help and to offer them the very best choice of care. Did you know that every year we need to raise £5m to keep our doors open and only around 20 percent of our income comes from government sources? The rest has to be raised through fundraising activity.

AAFDA was founded by Frank Mullane in memory of his sister Julia Pemberton and her son Will who were both killed by her ex-partner in 2003.
Each year, around 150 families lose a loved one to domestic homicide. The actual number of suicides as a result of domestic abuse remains unknown. Most of these families suffer significant problems including relationship breakdown, job difficulties/loss and mental and physical health issues. We help these families in many ways, our prime function being to provide families in England and Wales with specialist peer support and expert and specialist advocacy for the range of statutory reviews that will take place after domestic homicide.
AAFDA (Advocacy After Fatal Domestic Abuse) is a growing Charity and to meet the demands of this growth, we are looking for exceptional candidates to join our team in highly rewarding opportunities. Although home based, some travel will be required - frequency will be commensurate to the roles. We welcome applications from candidates with experience of domestic abuse. We are also committed to diversity and strongly encourage applications from those with Black and/or Minoritised backgrounds.
Our Specialist Advocates support families impacted by fatal domestic abuse through provision of lay advocacy for and on behalf of families with a range of statutory service providers (e.g. those conducting reviews and inquiries, social services, police, housing) and work to build good relations between all parties. To ensure that families get the support they need, you will use AAFDA’s Home Office endorsed seven-step approach to working with individuals and families, to ensure that they receive the best possible support and advocacy to restore dignity and relief for families and to help them cope and recover. Through trauma-informed approaches, you will:
- listen to families and advocate for them in a complex system that too often treats them as passive participants and overlooks the value of their insight;
- provide information, support, guidance, advice and advocacy on Domestic Homicide Reviews, Mental Health Reviews, Inquests, Independent Office of Police Conduct inquiries and other types of Inquiries;
- manage families’ expectations of the legal and procedural processes facing them by supporting families in meetings with agencies such as health, police and local authorities;
- give families practical help on a wide range of issues - including help with letter writing or advocating with employers and local authorities on the families’ behalf;
- Support AAFDA in our bringing families together in AAFDA’s peer support events, such as the Hear Our Voice weekend and the on-line peer support Zoom sessions, where families can speak with others to share their experiences and stories.
This role is offered on a full-time basis.
In return for joining us, we will offer you:
- 25 days annual leave per annum, plus bank holidays
- Excellent development and training opportunities
- Pension Scheme
- Healthcare Scheme
- Employee Assist Scheme
To apply for this role, please submit a supporting statement along with your CV.
Closing date: 1st April 2024

About Resources for Autism (RfA)
We have been around since 1997, when we started as a small playgroup set up by parents dismayed at the lack of provision for their autistic children. Since then, RfA has grown into a major deliverer of services and support in London and the West Midlands with a turnover of around £2.6m per year. Our mission is to support autistic people to live happy and fulfilling lives. We want to change society’s attitude to autism whilst also providing essential services and enriching opportunities to autistic people. We are a value-driven organisation which employs value-driven people who want to make a difference. You will play a vital part in ensuring that we can resource and sustain this amazing work.
A new CEO with a strong fundraising background will join the organisation in April 2024 so you will be part of the next chapter in RfA’s story. We have strong relationships with trust funders and statutory partners, but we know we need to grow our income in other areas – can you help us to carve out that journey?
The main duties of the role will include:
Initially, you will be focusing mainly on helping to maintain our grant and trust fundraising income through bid-writing and supporting colleagues with reporting.
As the role develops, other elements of the fundraising mix will become increasingly important, in particular building up individual giving, corporate relationships and digital fundraising. You will come in at “ground level” on these initiatives, providing a unique opportunity to shape the future of fundraising in an ambitious and growing charity.
This will be a multi-faceted role where you will have considerable freedom to develop fresh ways of working. You will be playing a key part in delivering our 2024-26 fundraising strategy, which is centred around building up new income streams for RfA alongside maintaining our strong profile of grant and trust funding income.
Benefits of the role

Not only will the work you do ensure making vital differences and inspiring others, but our other benefits also include:
· flexible working patterns with the option to work in a hybrid way
· 25 days of leave (pro rata for part time roles) each year plus 8 bank holidays and the additional office closure between Christmas and New Year
· access to ongoing training and progress in the areas that interest you
· access to our wellbeing initiatives and an Employee Assistance Programme
· enrolment on to our pension scheme
· a supportive, warm and fun working environment made up of values driven people who are passionate about changing the world for autistic people
Key Responsibilities:
As Fundraising and Philanthropy Manager, you will work closely with our Head of Fundraising to:
· Maintain our pipeline of grant and trust funding prospects
· Write high quality funding bids in close collaboration with service delivery colleagues
· Manage relationships with key trust funders, including updates and report writing
· Define and develop our individual giving offer and build our community of donors
· Contribute to cases for support for new corporate supporters
· Build and maintain relationships with our supporter base as it grows through regular communication and stewardship
· Liaise with service colleagues to build up a bank of inspiring case studies and stories from our work with autistic people
· Push forward the development of our digital fundraising
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of autistic people – and who will be proud to see the real impact they’re able to make.
Person Specification:
Essential Criteria for Selection
· At least 3 years’ experience in a fundraising, philanthropy or relationship management role
· A track record of success in securing at least five-figure donations from grant and trust funders
· Knowledge of digital fundraising approaches
· Outstanding writing and communication skills
· Ability to understand financial language and budgets
· Strong research and prospecting skills
· Capacity to build excellent relationships with key stakeholders, both internally and externally
· An understanding of the essential processes of donor stewardship
· Experience of measuring impact and contributing to evaluation reports
· A commitment to developing an understanding of autistic people’s needs, capabilities and experiences

To apply, please send us a one-page covering letter and your CV

We particularly welcome applications from black, Asian and global majority candidates, LGBTQ+ candidates and disabled candidates, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at Resources for Autism. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for our community.
As you would expect, we are a neuro-affirming employer, with a strengths and rights based approach to neurodiversity which affirms neurodivergent identity – we don’t want to “fix” or “cure” autism, and we don’t see it as a “disability”. We are working to improve the ways in which we recruit and support neurodiverse employees and those with lived experience of neurodiversity.
