Over the past year CPRE, the countryside charity has undergone a great transformation which has led to a range of exciting developments including a completely new brand, a strong set of organisational values, a new strategy, in depth audience insight and the launch of a new website.

As one of two individual giving officers, you will support programme growth and generate income from donors, both new and existing. These donors will give to us through membership, regular donations, annual appeals, raffles and digital fundraising, and through new products we are in the process of establishing.
Reporting to the Individual giving manager, you will support the development, implementation and growth of a portfolio of products, while working in our friendly and busy office in London. By building upon existing relationships, and attracting and converting new supporters, you will grow our income in this area, helping to create a sustainable platform for all our fundraising activity.

We are looking for an enthusiastic all-rounder - someone with a real passion and aptitude for working with creative partners and colleagues to creating compelling and effective fundraising communications, while also being confident in the more technical aspects of direct marketing: drafting data briefs, devising robust tests and analysing results.

The successful candidate will have previous experience in a charity fundraising environment and a proven track record in project managing direct marketing activities across a variety of income streams and channels, including digital and social media. Ideally, your experience will include supporter acquisition as well as retention, with knowledge of new product/offer development and implementation of ‘test and learn’ programmes. 

To apply, candidates should send us their CV, the CPRE referee sheet with a covering letter addressing how they meet the criteria of the Job and person specification; failing to address the criteria, will mean you will be unlikely to be shortlisted. Quote: Job ref: IGO/CJ

The Royal Academy of Engineering is harnessing the power of engineering to build a sustainable society and an inclusive economy that works for everyone.

In collaboration with our Fellows and partners, we’re growing talent and developing skills for the future, driving innovation and building global partnerships, and influencing policy and engaging the public. Together we’re working to tackle the greatest challenges of our age.

Our vision is of a world-leading truly inclusive engineering profession that inspires, attracts and retains people from diverse backgrounds. UK engineering is facing serious skills shortages and addressing diversity and inclusion will not only help bridge this gap; it will also help drive innovation and creativity and ensure that those who design and build the world around us are more reflective of wider society.

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Manager with research and programme management experience for a 12-month fixed term contract, to lead the delivery of two high-profile diversity and inclusion projects to meet the goals set out in our Diversity and Inclusion Action Plan 2020 - 2025.

Working closely with our Head of Diversity and Inclusion, and consulting with a wide range of stakeholders and experts, you will deliver a comprehensive research project on standard-setting, benchmarking and charter-mark practices, making recommendations for the development of an accountability mechanism for engineering companies. In short, we will look to you to lead the research and consultation phase in respect of one of the Academy’s most significant diversity and inclusion projects for the coming 5 years – so we need someone exceptional.

A good strategic thinker, with well-honed judgement, research and analytical skills, you will also oversee delivery of the Academy’s award-winning Graduate Engineering Engagement Programme (GEEP) to increase the transition of engineering graduates from diverse backgrounds into engineering employment. This will include overseeing the delivery of the 2020 programme and consultation and research to develop proposals for the future expansion of GEEP.

Experienced in working with both internal and external stakeholders and contractors, you will have a good working knowledge of diversity and inclusion issues and be passionate about making a difference. You will need experience of conducting research in diversity and inclusion or experience of industry standard setting/benchmarking or monitoring and evaluation.

You will bring an innovative mindset, proven ability to manage complex projects, and the ability to build and maintain relationships with a variety of people, including senior and expert stakeholders. Finally, a background in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) would be useful, as would knowledge of existing diversity and inclusion practices and standards within the engineering industry, but it’s your ability to use strategic thinking in your work and present well researched arguments and recommendations in a credible and convincing manner that will matter most.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

In return, we offer a fantastic package of benefits including a non-contributory pension scheme, BUPA cash plan, private medical insurance, subsidised restaurant, regular social activities, health and wellbeing programmes, as well as significant investment into your personal and professional development. Our offices are based in central London near St. James’ Park.

This is a 12-month fixed term, maternity cover position. We encourage either full-time or job share applicants as the post lends itself to job share. We support flexible working and would be happy to discuss working patterns with candidates.
