CEO of Hamlin Fistula UK

Hamlin Fistula UK is a small charity but we make a big difference to the lives of some of the most vulnerable women in the world. We’re over fifty years old but are now at a time of significant development and, with the retirement of our long-serving CEO, we are looking to appoint someone to take us forward over the next few years.

We are crucial in supporting Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia (HFE) as they work to eradicate the devastating childbirth injury, obstetric fistula, from the country. HFE runs six fistula hospitals, fifty-six health centres, a College of Midwives and a rehabilitative farm and training centre for long-term patients. Our work focuses on supporting them, which we do mainly by providing funding of around £500,000 to Ethiopia each year, raised primarily from individual donations but also from trusts, foundations and legacies.

The CEO post is for 22.5 hours per week which can be worked flexibly across at least three days, with at least one day in our Halesowen office. We are also open to negotiating the working pattern across the year by annualising the hours if appropriate. The salary is £30,000 (£50,000 FTE). Ideally, the successful candidate will be appointed and able to start by October.

The CEO is the sole permanent employee, although there is a contracted fundraiser who works for the charity two days per week. Given that the work of the charity is fundraising, we need someone who has experience in this area, with strong self-motivation skills, the ability to work with our board of trustees, a high degree of financial literacy, excellent written and spoken communication and the interpersonal skills to use these effectively with a wide range of audiences. The post-holder will have the chance to undertake all aspects of the charity’s work – an ideal opportunity for someone who knows about fundraising but wishes to expand their experience into other areas of charity work. Above all, to be successful in the role the new CEO will have to have a genuine commitment to the work and vision of Hamlin Fistula UK.

Hamlin Fistula UK is one of several Hamlin charities across the world and the CEO will be in contact with our Australian sister charity, the Catherine Hamlin Fistula Foundation. And working with senior managers at HFE is an important aspect of the work. In normal times the CEO and Chair of Trustees go to Ethiopia once a year to meet with HFE and the other international partners to discuss targets and budgets for the coming year.

If you think you are the person to take our work forward over the next few years, please see the attached job description for details of how to apply online.

What you will be a part of

The Mills Archive Trust is one of a kind. Founded in 2002, we are the world’s only archive dedicated to preserving the history of milling. We tell the story of how milling has played a central role in humanity’s development, from our ancient origins and up to the present day.

We punch above our weight as a small charity, as evidenced by our early success in achieving Accredited Archive Status from the National Archives and our 2019 acceptance of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, which is the charity equivalent of an MBE.

As an independent educational charity we generate all income ourselves. The Trust has raised and spent more than £1.5 million and grown to a team of 5 professionals. Assisted by 20 volunteers, we are custodians for 3 million images, documents, and artefacts.

We are at an exciting moment in the Trust’s development: now that much material has been saved and made available, we want to build on this foundation to reach and enthuse new audiences.

Job Summary

You will be experienced in raising funds. You will work with the Director to increase income so that our core costs are covered. This includes applying for grants, maintaining and growing individual and organisational giving.

You will bring creative thinking, an innovative approach and a fresh perspective to help us develop the Trust so that it will continue to safeguard the Nation’s milling heritage for many years to come.

By working with the Director to develop and write grant applications, you will contribute to covering overheads and support our strategic growth.

A big part of your success will be down to how well you build and nurture relationships with current and potential supporters. You will enjoy and be proactive in meeting people and building links. You do not need to have an existing knowledge of milling – although it would help! - as long as you are open to learning and know how to work with others to get any information or support you need.

Ultimately, your work will allow for sustainable growth to enable the Trust to share this rich milling heritage with more people and encourage a revival in preservation and participation in history.

If you are a motivated self-starter with a proven fundraising ability and interest in heritage - and want to make your mark on a young and ambitious charity - then we would love to hear from you.
