There are a quarter of a million disabled people in the UK who require a hoist and adult-sized changing bed when using the loo or being changed. Until recently many faced the stark choice between being stuck at home or being changed on the floor of a public toilet. Mobiloo is the world’s first mobile, attended toilet and changing facility with hoist and changing bed that can go anywhere. We hire it out to event organisers so they can welcome everyone to their events in the knowledge they can provide suitable toilets for everyone including those with the most complex requirements.

Hi, I’m James Brown, the co-founder and CEO of Mobiloo. Our wonderful Business Manager is moving on after helping to oversee exponential growth over the last three and a half years.

• Policy & Processes: writing and updating and overseeing implementation.
• Managing and Supporting our IT: G-Suite/Office/Slack & WhatsApp are our main tools and we have our own bespoke bookings system, also supporting colleagues with IT matters.
• Charity Governance: working with our growing Trustee group to arrange and host meetings, provision of essential information, contributing to and overseeing implementation of strategic decisions.

Most important of all, we want the right person for Mobiloo. We can work together to tailor your job to suit your interests, your skills and your aspirations. If there's an element of work to which you'd like to contribute or lead then we want you to be able to do this.

The type of person we think would be best suited...

We make extensive and effective use of the Belbin Team Role model within Mobiloo. Even if you aren't familiar with Belbin's work the descriptions below should work for you.

1) The Implementor: Needed to plan a workable strategy and carry it out as efficiently as possible. Practical, reliable, efficient. Turns ideas into actions and organises work that needs to be done.

2) Monitor Evaluator: Provides a logical eye, making impartial judgements where required and weighs up the team's options in a dispassionate way. Sober, strategic and discerning. Sees all options and judges accurately.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, innovative and personable fundraiser to join the Kit Tarka Foundation family and help save babies’ lives by raising vital funds for the charity. 

ABOUT US

We are a small yet ambitious charity with a mission to prevent newborn baby deaths through research and education. Our initial focus is on neonatal herpes (the cold sore virus in babies) but we expect to expand our activity to other causes of newborn mortality in future years. We are led by a passionate, skilled and hands on Board of trustees.

We work to achieve our mission through funding relevant research and developing training and education programmes for medical professionals and the general public.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The Fundraising Manager will work across all fundraising activities to increase income generation. The remit is broad and provides the opportunity to really shape the future of the charity and the role itself. Many of the existing revenue streams are in their infancy so there is huge potential for the Fundraising Manager to make a real difference through their creativity and innovation.

As a small charity we have limited time and resources so the Fundraising Manager will work closely with the CEO and trustees to agree a realistic and achievable plan for their first year and beyond. Expected areas of focus will be grants, corporate partnerships and individual giving. They will secure and develop strong relationships with our supporters within the local and wider communities.

The Fundraising Manager will report directly to the CEO and provide quarterly progress updates to the Board of Trustees. A trustee with fundraising expertise will give additional support and guidance. The post is new and is expected to develop with the individual appointed.

The role is home-based but there will be regular meetings and events in Brighton. Due to funding restrictions, the role is initially part-time and fixed term but with genuine potential to extend.​
