Our Mission & Strategy

We’re here for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, young carers and families. We create life-changing opportunities by providing a wide range of support. Together, we’ll empower disabled children to stand up for their rights.

Childhood should be a joyful time. But some children and young people living with special educational needs and disabilities are defined by what they cannot do.That’s wrong.

Every child should have an equal opportunity to play, learn, grow and thrive.

Because when the world says we can’t, kids say we can.

Our strategic plan will enable us to reach 120,000 disabled young people and their families, every year, by 2027. 

We welcome applications from disabled people or people with lived experience of disability. We demonstrate our willingness to make reasonable adjustments to enable disabled candidates/colleagues to access and participate in the recruitment process (for example we make our adverts accessible, and where required/requested, will make application forms available in alternative formats, i.e. large print).  Kids encourages applications from disabled people by offering any disabled person who meets the person specification an interview.

If required, support is provided to applicants to complete an application form. Our in-house Careers team will discuss what support we can provide.  

KIDS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all those who come into contact with our services. Our colleagues are trained to recognise and respond to safeguarding concerns. We work closely with families and other agencies to take all reasonable steps to minimise the risk of harm to children, young people and adults. 

To fulfil our commitment to those we work with we observe safer recruitment and selection procedures and nurture a safeguarding culture which is open and transparent, where all concerns in relation to our people can be identified and spoken about openly and are dealt with promptly and appropriately. By identifying concerning, problematic or inappropriate behaviour early we aim to minimise the risk of abuse.

Please note KIDS Safer Recruitment procedures will include a DBS check and a Colleague Suitability Declaration where applicable. Within the DBS check there are two Barred Lists. The Children’s Barred List and the Adults’ Barred List. If you are added to a Barred List then it is against the law to work, apply for work or volunteer in Regulated Activity with children and/or adults. Therefore, we ask you not to progress with your application. 

Equality, Diversity and Inclusion

We work to ensure that all of the Kids team:

• are committed to equality of opportunity, treatment and behaviour
• have equal access to employment, promotion and development
• have equal access to services
• have their needs considered as we develop services

This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced membership or account manager to join our pioneering music, arts and heritage - inspired by our founders' vision that music should be useful and enhance lives.

Based on the Suffolk coast at two popular, historic visitor destinations: The Red House and Snape Maltings, BPA emerged from the creative partnership of Benjamin Britten, one of the greatest composers of the 20th century, and his professional and personal partner, singer Peter Pears.

Our founders’ vision, that music should be useful and enhance lives, inspires all our activities: our work with local and marginalised communities through to our national leadership roles in the fields of talent development and music for health & wellbeing. The jewel in our year-round performance programme is the internationally acclaimed annual Aldeburgh Festival, celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2024.

Britten Pears Arts has a lively and dynamic Development Team that is responsible for raising over a third of the charity’s annual revenue so is fundamental to the continuation – and growth - of the organisation. Working closely with colleagues from across the organisation, the team raises £2m annually and over half of this is from individual donations. 

We are looking for an experienced, creative and motivated individual who wants to develop their fundraising skills in a supportive, collaborative and dynamic team.  There is huge potential for growing our fundraised income from our membership schemes and this is an exciting time to play a key role in this step change.  We are committed to developing the skills of our team and offer full training and support.  The Memberships Manager sits within the Development team and is essential to the smooth running of our memberships and care of our individual supporters, as well as the delivery of events for our Friends and Members.

This role is based at Snape, although some home working may be possible in line with our Hybrid Working Policy, and we are also open to this role being 0.8FTE (28 hours per week).

We are looking for:

• Someone with experience of developing and managing mutually beneficial relationships eg: in a fund-raising or  ccount management role.
• Accurate and efficient admin skills – great attention to detail and the ability to stick to deadlines.
• Engaging communication skills – verbal and written.
• Experience of CRM’s and knowledge of GDPR would be beneficial
• Someone whose values align with those of BPA – particular in respect of team working, collaboration and creativity.
