A remarkable opportunity to build a new fundraising programme in a well-resourced organisation. You will join an ambitious, highly respected and supportive team at the heart of this world-leading and globally renowned healthcare organisation.

Fundraising - for Evelina London, Guy's Cancer and Guy's and St Thomas' is growing rapidly following the establishment of a new directorate at King's College London in 2019. Having identified significant untapped potential and opportunity, a new Associate Director role has been created as part of the Fundraising Leadership team, to take on responsibility for High Value fundraising across Evelina London, Guy's Cancer and Guy's and St Thomas'. This is a dual role with responsibility for managing the fundraising strategy for Guy's Cancer and Guy's and St Thomas'.

Over the past two years the fundraising team has doubled its fundraised income and it doesn't stop there. This role will be one of two Associate Directors responsible for building teams and strategies that will drive sustainable income growth. This is the perfect role for someone who is a finisher-completer, motivated by entrepreneurial, start-up fundraising and who wants to make their mark on NHS hospital fundraising at a pivotal moment in time.

The scope across the Guy's and St Thomas' hospitals is tremendous, with a wide range of exciting opportunities. There are untapped networks to connect with, as well as investment in broad awareness-raising campaigns across the hospitals. The profile of the organisation has risen considerably during the Covid-19 crisis and this has created even greater opportunity.

We are seeking an experienced, emotionally intelligent fundraising leader who will work collaboratively with the high performing team to unlock all of this potential. This is a chance to substantially grow a fundraising programme that will both directly impact on patients' lives and, at the same time, fund life-saving research.

In addition to enthusiasm for the potential of this role, we are looking for an outstanding candidate who:

• Has an excellent track record in growing High Value Fundraising programmes, either Major Donor income, or Corporate and Trusts income
• Is a great relationship manager with the capacity to build outstanding internal and external relationships within a complex organisation
• Can demonstrate the capacity to lead and develop an innovative and ambitious strategy for the growth of High Value fundraising across Guy's Cancer, Guy's and St Thomas' and Evelina London Charities
• Can evidence substantial leadership skills and the ability to inspire and motivate a fundraising team with experience of working within a fast paced and changeable context

This is a really exciting role with huge opportunity and potential to be realised and the right candidate will be a real go-getter who is ready to build from the ground up. If this sounds like you, please contact Philippa Randle at Charity People, or click apply and, if your profile fits what we're looking for, we'll be in touch with more information.

The salary is up to £85,000 plus London weighting.

Programme Associate - Housing and Homelessness Programme

About Oak
Oak Foundation commits its resources to address issues of global social and environmental concern, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged. With offices in Europe, Africa and North America, Oak Foundation makes grants to organisations located in approximately 40 countries worldwide.

Oak’s head office is based in Geneva, and the Housing and Homelessness Programme regularly contributes to the core functions of the organisation. 

About the Housing and Homelessness Programme
The Oak Foundation’s Housing and Homelessness Programme is a grant-making programme which funds projects across the UK and US.  In additional to national projects, it also funds within the geographic locations prioritised in its current strategy. These locations are London, Bristol, Birmingham, Northern Ireland, Wales, Scotland, New York, Boston and Philadelphia. 

With an annual budget of around USD 30 million, the programme makes 38 new multi-year grants annually; and in addition, maintains strong connections with existing grantee partners, sharing learning and opportunities. The programme is undertaking a strategic review, and underpinning this, is a deep commitment to social justice, racial equity, and strengthening the voices of people with lived experience. All the work we will seek to fund will demonstrate a strong understanding of the experiences of people facing homelessness and evidence that all proposed projects are rooted in the solutions people closest to the problem have identified.   

We know that homelessness and housing problems disproportionately and unfairly affect sections of our community, and so we want to support projects that address this. This includes women; people from black, Asian and minority ethnic communities; disabled people; and LGBTQI communities.

About the role
The Housing and Homelessness Programme is currently made up of a programme director, four programme officers and one temporary programme support assistant. The role of Programme Associate is a new position, which will replace the current temporary programme assistant role.  We are looking for a highly organised individual, with the ability to juggle a variety of tasks at the same time.  You will be able to undertake research on housing and homelessness issues to inform our grant-making choices, oversee some of our monitoring and evaluation processes, whilst also providing administrative support such as organising meetings and maintaining our grant-making database.  You will need to be a self-starter with the confidence to work both independently and part of a team.

Please see the attached job description for full details about job responsibilities and requirements. 

Reporting lines
The position will be based in the London office, and you will report to the programme director.  You will work closely with the programme officers, and liaise with the Trustees and President, as required.

This role may require some travel to the cities where we fund, as well as to our head office in Geneva. 

How to apply
Only applicants who have the right to work in the UK will be accepted.

Interested candidates should submit a Curriculum Vitae and a compelling covering letter of no more than one page, explaining why you want the role, and addressing the key requirement of the post. Please apply directly through Charity Jobs by 30 May 2021.

Our story

At Lightful, we believe that those doing the greatest good deserve the best technology.

We’re passionate about making the best technology accessible to charities and nonprofits. Our products and solutions help organisations unleash the power of technology and make the good work they do even greater. Our products and services are designed to simplify the work and amplify the impact of charities and nonprofits. 

In 2015, Lightful was launched by Vinay Nair, Johnny Murnane and Carlos Miranda. Three friends who all had different exposure to the nonprofit sector, they all realised the same thing - nonprofits were not getting the technology they deserve.

Before evolving into Lightful (pre-2015), we were a YouTube certified multi-channel network (MCN) known as Thunderboom. Our original intention was to help charities and nonprofits of all shapes and sizes monetise their video content.

Things changed - as they do - and we eventually pivoted. We left our MCN ambitions behind, and we launched our now award-winning Lightful Social Platform. At that time, the company became known as Lightful.

From there we grew our consultancy services - now Lightful Solutions - and developed a comprehensive 12-month course to equip charities with the digital skills and capabilities they need to become more resilient - Lightful Learning's BRIDGE programme.

Lightful values

As a certified B Corp, we’re a values-led organisation, and our values are integral to the Lightful culture. Our Lightful values are:

• To act with audacity while remembering humility
• To understand the importance of both listening and leadership
• To practice generosity whilst showing accountability
• These all lay on the foundation of respect and integrity

Our business units
We offer three services to charities and nonprofits; Lightful Products, Lightful Learning and Lightful Solutions. Each business unit is different but highly interconnected, designed for the different needs of the social and environmental-focused organisations we’re proud to serve and work with.

Lightful Products
Lightful Products helps drive organisations forward with ready made software such as: 

• Lightful Fundraising Pages, fully customisable and branded to clients look and feel, to enable clients create engaging experiences that drive donations
• Lightful Social Platform, the #1 social media tool for charities, it helps charities schedule social media content, increase engagement and save time
• Lightful Components, a toolkit of adaptable components designed to build flexible, design-driven online communities

Lightful Learning

Lightful Learning helps our partners master real world skills through a combination of tools and support, building their confidence and resilience. It was designed to grow digital skills and increase effectiveness within the nonprofit sector.

Building resilience in digital growth and engagement (BRIDGE) is Lightful Learning's flagship programme for impact organisations looking to future-proof their operations at a time of great change. It combines a learning syllabus, delivered through a combination of live and recorded sessions and webinars, with the Lightful Social Platform. BRIDGE is supported by foundations and other funders, and offered to small-to-medium sized charities that they support.
 

Lightful Solutions
Lightful Solutions has been a Salesforce Partner since 2017 and has worked on almost 100 projects with over 50 clients. Our team has 27 members, including user researchers, UX designers, UI designers, developers, architects, administrators, business analysts and project managers. We have more than 60 Salesforce certifications across our team and more than 175 combined years of Salesforce consultancy experience specialising in: 

online communities, digital transformation, digital strategy, CRM support, digital fundraising, and Scoping and Solution Design (SSD).

Our design and development process is as follows: 

• Identify - Understanding the client’s ambitions, challenges and pain points to let us identify tailored approaches and opportunities
• Imagine - Our human-centred design process keeps user experience at the front and centre of how we deliver a client’s impact goals 
• Implement - We build and implement custom solutions using agile methodologies and close collaboration to ensure smooth delivery and transition

Wave Café, a social enterprise based in North London, seeks a creative, organised and community-minded development director to oversee the strategic planning and delivery of its exciting, inclusive community café project.

Status: Part time (3 days /week, with potential for growth)

Salary: £30,000 p/a, pro-rata

Start Date: September 2021

Who we are

Wave Café is a charity whose aim is to reduce inequalities and radically change attitudes to learning disability and difference in our local community. While we recognise there is lots of provision for people with learning disabilities in our society, places where people of all abilities mix with each other as equals, not as ‘helpers’ and ‘service users’, are few and far between. By creating a community space where We are All Valued Equally, Wave Café showcases an alternative brand of community – one where people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities spend time together - socialising, working, creating, and enjoying each other’s company and qualities.

We currently operate an inclusive community café space in Muswell Hill, North London, 9am-5pm on Thursdays. We open our doors to those with and without learning disability in our community, offering a relaxed and friendly space to work or socialise, with inclusive art and yoga and great food  (at an inclusive price point).

We are looking to move to opening two days each week as soon as we can.

What it’s like working for us

Wave Café is a small and intimate charity with a warm, friendly and non-judgemental ethos. You will get to know the members of our vibrant and diverse community quickly – it is a bit like a very large family! It is vital that our staff can maintain the balance between the informal, inclusive atmosphere with the necessity to maintain high standards in the running of the café.

Equally, as an organisation developing in size and capacity, there will often be times when you will need to be self-directed in your work – taking initiative and thinking on your feet.

You will be expected to ‘get stuck in’ at all levels of the organisation, happy to do the organisational and managerial aspects of the role as well as the more everyday tasks. Wave Café also places huge value on the relational and interpersonal aspects of the role – it will be important that you can work alongside and get along with all different types of people.

Who we’re looking for

For this role, we are looking for someone with experience of working in a small business, charity or start-up environment. Alternatively, someone with a background in education or support work with adults, children or learning disability.

We want someone dynamic and creative, who can bring a fresh and exciting pair of eyes to this small social enterprise as it seeks to take the next steps in its growth. Good inter-personal skills are essential, as there will be lots of relationship building and community work involved with the post. We also require someone with the capacity to line-manage a varied team, and proven experience of planning and delivering projects.

You should have an interest in food and the creative arts, and a keen imagination, able to devise and plan engaging activities and events at the café. Some experience of working with websites, data management and social media would be desirable.

You may have previous experience working within an inclusive environment, or with people with learning disability, but it is not essential. Above all, you will be willing to work with difference, and open to learning from this experience. We recognise that changing one’s own attitudes to disability and difference can take time and hard work – we’re all on the journey!

Please refer to job description for more details.

How to apply

Please send a CV before Friday 28th May. You should include a brief personal statement (no more than 500 words) explaining why you are attracted to working in an inclusive environment and why you feel you will be suited to work within Wave Cafe.

Shortlisting will take place in the week beginning Monday May 31st. Interviews will take place over Zoom, and these are planned for the week beginning Monday June 14th.

Wave Café is committed to an equal opportunities policy for employment. If you feel you require support with any aspect of the application process, for whatever reason, the please let us know.
