Street Child, a rapidly-growing global NGO active in 20+ countries, are urgently looking to appoint an excellent professional to lead and shape our response to the war in Ukraine. This role will enjoy considerable autonomy. 

Whilst in the initial weeks of the conflict, Street Child worked with partners to provide broad-spectrum humanitarian support, we are now increasingly focussed on our organisation's core competencies and mission around child protection and in particular, education in emergencies - so we ideally seek a candidate with strengths in either, or ideally both, these fields. The horrific toll of the conflict on children's mental health is also incredibly clear and we would especially welcome applications from candidates with experience of leading programmes responding to these needs. 

Finding and supporting great local organisations is at the heart of Street Child's philosophy and modus operandi, everywhere. This is especially true of our response in Ukraine where we are presently engaged with a dozen brave and impressive organisations, with different sizes, capabilities and geographical reach - they are at the core of our response. It is vital that the candidate we appoint is fully bought into a 'local partner first' approach - and ideally has strong experience of working in constructive, trusting relationships with local organisations in a humanitarian context. Our goals with our partners include not just delivering great projects together; but also supplementing any gaps in their wider capabilities; supporting their organisational strengthening, especially in key areas; and also supporting them to win funds directly - i.e. we seek to maximise every dimension of their ability to make an impact for children in the crisis.

Alongside excellent programme management abilities we look for a professional bringing strong communication and writing skills - and naturally a willingness to use these to help maximise income prospects for Street Child, and our local partners. A good understanding of the cluster system is essential. We also ideally seek a professional bringing a strategic mindset - able to engage creatively in the evolving context, and work with senior colleagues to determine the best path to maximising impact for Street Child. This role will best suit an agile professional who enjoys independence and responsibility and brings a strong 'self-starter' attitude - but also works well with others and reaches out for help when they need it. 

Street Child is focussing its response on children inside Ukraine, however we are also presently laying groundwork for some action in Moldova. This role could, at this stage, be conducted almost entirely remotely. However, a willingness to be based in, or at least to travel to, Ukraine (&/or Moldova) would be appreciated and advantageous. Relevant language skills, particularly Ukrainian, would be advantageous but are not essential. This position will initially have an assistant (with Ukrainian language skills) and an M+E officer reporting in - and will be strongly supported by senior programme management.

We are looking to make an appointment, and commence employment, as soon as possible. We envisage initially offering either a 6-12 month contract, to be agreed with the successful candidate - naturally with the strong possibility of further extension, depending on personal performance/fit and how the situation evolves. 

This role is a fantastic opportunity to make a significant impact for children affected by this horrific crisis - with an agile, ambitious, outcome-orientated organisation. To apply please send your CV and a (maximum) 1-page covering letter to teh email address listed on the attached job description by 13th July 2022.  Applications will be reviewed as they are received so interested candidates are encouraged to apply early.

JOB DESCRIPTION 

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell, and their families, make the most of every day. The charity aspires to become a centre of clinical excellence for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. We’ve been on a major upward trajectory in recent years, with more children being supported, more major hospitals being partnered with and more supporters donating. We’ve transformed from being an enthusiastic start-up delivering care in the community, to a serious player delivering major impact both in the community and at our state-of-the-art hospice building, The Ark, opened in 2019. Philanthropy, which covers both Major Donor and Trust fundraising streams, is pivotal to Noah’s Ark – typically accounting for more than 50% of the charity’s overall income. The successful candidate will manage the Grants, Trusts & Foundations programme which has been expertly led and is now an area of real success. However, we know that we can go much further still. The Senior Philanthropy Manager will benefit from working as an integral part of a high-performing and super supportive team, ready for its next exciting growth phase. The Senior Philanthropy Manager will line manage an existing Trust Fundraiser and work closely with the Senior Head of Philanthropy & Partnerships, with guidance from the Director of Fundraising & Communications, to manage and develop the trust pipelines, along with instrumental work on developing a structure around corporate and community application processes. The post-holder will be key in taking the philanthropy programme to the next level, securing new multi-year grants, supporting with applications to key corporate foundations and establishing lasting relationships with funders. 

ABOUT YOU 

You will be a dedicated, organised and reliable individual. You will show determination to succeed and have a solutions-focused outlook. An exceptional and eloquent communicator, excellent at managing your time and a natural relationship builder; you will have an eagerness for cross-team working. Whilst direct experience in all fundraising areas isn’t a prerequisite, you will have confidence in your ability to add value through collaborative lateral thinking and through supporting other team members with their applications, as well as acting as a key liaison with our care team to obtain latest information about service delivery. If you have experience of leading a trust fundraising programme to an outstanding level, including securing numerous six-figure grants, we would love you to apply.

MORE ABOUT THE CHARITY

We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We're here for children living near the coast, who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, and families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.

Once we find out what each family needs, we take care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.
