The country's leading transport charity, Campaign for Better Transport has worked for almost 50 years to improve transport, tackle climate change and create a more inclusive society.

Four years since Da’aro Youth Project was established and we are looking for a person with strong leadership skills and high levels of relevant experience to bring our organisation the next level.

We are a community-led organisation supporting young refugees from the Horn of Africa.

Da'aro Youth Project was established in 2018 by members of the Eritrean community in London. Eritreans, Ethiopians and Sudanese are some of the largest nationality groups of unaccompanied minors to arrive in the UK in recent years. Asylum-seeking children and young adults arrive here after traumatic journeys through the Sahara Desert, Libya, the Mediterranean Sea and after crossing borders in Europe, such as in Calais. Once here, young people often struggle to adapt to new lives separated from their families, and find that navigating the complex asylum and social care systems can be stressful and traumatic. We aim to promote the wellbeing of these migrant young people living in the UK, through direct support, through building bridges in the Eritrean community and through advocating for changes to unfair and discriminatory systems which undermine their wellbeing.

We want newly arrived asylum-seeking young people to feel at home and to know they have someone to turn to in a crisis.

Towards this aim we run a weekly youth club – Injera Club – and provide advice, support and advocacy through our casework service for young people in need. We also undertake policy and campaigning work through the media and through other channels. We have also supported a number of bereaved families to access justice through the inquest process.

The Project Lead will:

• Work with the Chair to ensure that the Trustee Board formulates and regularly reviews the charity’s vision, mission and strategic plans.

• Manage finances and fundraising; communications; strategic planning; charity governance; monitoring and evaluation; report writing; human resources; and other day to day areas of work that may arise.

• Represent Da’aro Youth Project locally and nationally and to promote the interests of its clients in collaboration with partners, staff, volunteers, supporters, and Trustees.

• This position leads the Senior Management Team.

You'll need to have a track record of leading client-focused services; experience of project planning and delivery; and experience of finance management, fundraising, grant writing. An essential requirement is that the applicant has an understanding of and commitment to transformative justice, racial equity and migrant justice which underpin our work. We're keen to hear from applicants from all walks of life, and particularly welcome applicants with lived-experience of the asylum system.

Closing date for Applications is 23.59 on Sunday 22nd May 2022.

Interviews will take place during the weeks of the 6th and 13th of June 2022.

To apply, please complete the attached application form and return it to us via our website (see link above).

At Family Holiday Charity we use systems across all of our work – from managing relationships with our supporters and families to keeping on top of our finances. But our current systems are now not fit for purpose and we are investing in new technology. A recent review identified the benefits of shifting to a platform approach. Now we want to move forward with selecting a platform and systematically replacing our current systems and tools. 

Ultimately, better systems will mean more efficient and productive relationships, which means more income and more holidays for families facing tough times like bereavement, isolation or long-term illness. Even a short holiday away from the day to day helps build relationships, confidence and hope for the future.

The biggest priority for improvement is the CRM which is why it’s the first on the list once we’ve decided which way to go for a platform. This work really will be pivotal to the future success of the charity so it’s crucial we get it right.

Here’s where YOU come in.

This role of CRM Project Manager will lead the selection of a platform and a CRM, helping us to find and implement the right solutions and establish a strong yet flexible foundation for the future. Crucially you’ll need to bring the whole organisation on the journey together so that whatever solutions we implement are readily adopted and integrated into ways of working.

You’ll have experience of successfully implementing platform technology and CRM in a charity and a good understanding of the products available in the market. A collaborative worker, you’ll have the skills to work with diverse teams to really understand their requirements and enable them to input into the work and feel part of the process.

It’s a long term investment and the decisions we make will have a lasting impact so you’ll be comfortable engaging senior leaders and the Board to connect strategic goals to tech solutions.

It's an exciting time for the charity as we invest across all our fundraising streams, extend our reach to new communities and deliver major new partnerships. You can lead us through this change to our systems and out the other side to a new landscape from which we can really accelerate the positive progress the charity is making.

This is a full-time hybrid role, working collaboratively with others in our Hub near Borough typically for two days per week and spending the rest at home. You’ll report to the Chief Executive and you’ll work actively with all of our staff.

It's a great time to join us and make a real difference! Do ask if you have any questions, otherwise please submit your CV and a covering letter explaining why think this role might be right for you.

Our Programme

Our pupil journey is outlined on the programmes page of our website. As a Transition Manager your input will shape the experience throughout the pupil journey.  You will directly support young people to achieve their full potential into adult life. 

Join us for 21 hours a week as our Communications Officer (12-month fixed term contract).

We’re looking for someone to join our team to help us build our social profiles and create engaging content. 

For families facing tough times, a holiday is a much-needed break from the day to day, as well as giving space and time to breathe, and think differently.  Families report feeling happier, creating memories and feeling more confident to face the future.  Their stories capture our hearts and the hearts and minds of our supporters, fundraising partners, suppliers and friends.

This role is important in helping us tell the stories and share the impact of holidays on families.  It’s important to bring people closer to all the aspects of our work, the different ways in which the wider community can be involved with and help families facing tough times. And in bringing these fabulous stories, and the voices of families we are here for, to life.

Stories and content about fundraising activities and the brilliant people that make up the team of #HolidayHeroes (people who work together to make holidays happen for families facing tough times) is key to help us grow awareness of our small-but-mighty charity, and drive engagement that results in actions – like supporting us with donations, gifts in kind/partnership. 

You’ll be an important member of our team, working with different fundraisers on their activity, our experiences team to help make sure their messages are clear. Making sure we all understand what's happening in our social channels and what you need to make them the showcase they should be for our work. You’ll have lots of opportunities to try different things, learn and continue to grow our activity. 

The role itself is a fixed term contract for 12 months and is for 21 hours a week.  We’re super flexible about how to work those hours through the week, so this is something we can work out between us.  We work in a hybrid way – a mix of office and working at home.  Some people prefer more office time, and that’s fine too.

If you’d like a chat about the role, just get in touch. You might want to hear more about where we are now, and where we are heading. Or what the office is like, or the people, or whether there’s a biscuit tin (duh, yes!). They’re all great questions, so just ask them.
