A fantastic opportunity to join the award-winning teams delivering Soccer Aid 2020.

Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

Soccer Aid for Unicef brings together two teams of celebrities and football legends for the biggest celebrity charity football match in the calendar, broadcast live on ITV. Since its inception in 2006, Soccer Aid for Unicef has raised in excess of £30 million to provide millions of children around the world with life-saving food, vaccines, clean water and protection from violence.  Now an annual event, we are recruiting ten new roles to support the campaign in 2019. 

The Soccer Aid Production Coordinator will work on the planning and production of the appeal films and other elements of the campaign, working with the Soccer Aid Producer, Soccer Aid Series Producer and other key members of staff across the organisation on project plans. You will coordinate logistics and budgets around appeal filming and other international content gathering trips, providing support for set-up and potentially also carrying out some editorial research. You will be the day to day contact for production and broadcast partners, maintaining excellent working relationships across the project.

To succeed in this role, you should have experience of television production, as well as experience of working in communications discipline or working in an integrated way with communications. We are looking for an excellent communicator with proven skills in building credible relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders. Experience of setting up international filming would be highly beneficial.  

This role offers a genuine opportunity to make a difference to the lives of millions of children around the world.

Closing date: 5pm, Tuesday 10 December 2019.

We particularly welcome applications from LGBTQ+ candidates, candidates with disabilities, and from men, because we would like to increase the representation of these groups at this level at Unicef UK. We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for children.

Unicef UK promotes equality, diversity and inclusion in our workplace. We make employment decisions by matching business needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

The successful candidate will be required to apply for a criminal records check. A criminal record will not necessarily bar you from working with us. This will depend on the nature of the role and the circumstances of your offences.

We only accept online applications as this saves us money, making more funds available for us to help ensure children’s rights.

If you do not hear from us within 14 days of the closing date, please assume your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Please note that we only provide feedback to shortlisted candidates.

B-SIDE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR JOB DESCRIPTION

0.6 FTE pro-rata £30,000 p.a.

APPLICATIONS DEADLINE: 06 JANUARY 2020

We are looking for a dynamic and collaborative individual to join us in a new period of development. You will be an experienced fundraiser who can work across the range of fundraising activities e.g. grant applications, fundraising events, donors, sponsors and membership.  You will be able to demonstrate sound strategic financial knowledge, and the practical ability to manage finances and systems. There is an ample handover period with the current Executive Director built into our staffing plan. Some experience of managing policies and HR is desirable. 

The Development Director is offered as a 0.6 FTE pro-rata £30,000 p.a. PAYE position, with an initial guaranteed contract to April 2022 and further extension if the next round of the NPO or other major funding applications are successful. All the senior team are P/T and the remuneration across Artistic Directors / Creative Producers etc. is fixed at the same rate: the team ethos is generally collaborative and non-hierarchical.

Background

b-side has an unusual mission: ‘curating’ the Isle of Portland, Dorset with a series of temporary, commissioned artworks and a biennial festival. We are site-specific, site-responsive, outdoors and accessible. We produce moments not monuments. Our ‘collections’ are the collective memories of our audiences and participants. We ask our supporters to be players, partners and protagonists.

b-side was founded in 2007 as part of 2012 Cultural Olympiad. It became a Community Interest Company in 2009 and an Arts Council England (ACE) National Portfolio Organisation in 2012, retaining this status in 2015 & 2018. ACE continues to be its principal funder: other grants have included Heritage Lottery Foundation, Awards for All, Alice Ellen Cooper Dean etc. Recently b-side was awarded a Catalyst Small Grant and have developed a wider fundraising strategy with Cause4 to diversify our business model and income, which the Development Director would work with.

The Isle of Portland is an amazing island fortress of limestone, connected by a causeway to the Jurassic coast of Dorset. The distinct geology and geography have determined a distinct and significant environment and history. It is fitting that industries here include quarrying, prisons and the navy. It has strong, active communities; yet some wards are in the top 10% of multiple deprivation, the borough was ranked last in the UK for social mobility (2018) and is in the lowest quintile of the HEFCE PILOT4 survey (2017) measuring the proportion of school leavers entering HE.

We are seeking an experienced funding bid writer to join our team who will be passionate about implementing the strategic priority in relation to corporate, community and individual donors ensuring that NRC can continue to deliver support to meet the needs of those who have been affected by sexual violence across Northamptonshire.

You will be an ambitious and enthusiastic fundraising professional, who is flexible and target driven and has an ability to recognise new opportunities and develop existing relationships to deliver against our 3 year strategic priorities. You will have a great understanding of community and fundraising events and an ability to network with corporates and build relationships with supporters.

You’ll be excited by the opportunity to join NRC and to work in a varied and busy role within a collaborative and supportive environment.

Our Vision: “All survivors of sexual violence receive the support they need, when they need it, for as long as they need it”

Decision making principles: “We balance the needs of the client, the team and the organisation in every decision we make in order to provide the best service we can for survivors”.

We require the post holder to be female - Genuine Occupational Requirement (GOR), Schedule 9 (Work; Exceptions), Part 1 (Occupational Requirements), of the Equality Act (2010) applies. RCEW and local Rape Crisis Centres provide a women-only safe space in which women and children who have experienced sexual violence are supported and can access services.
