GoodWeave, an international nonprofit organzation, stops child labour in global supply chains. Permanently. Now in its 25th year, GoodWeave works in close proximity to workers, bringing visibility to hidden supply chains through mapping and inspections that extend beyond factory walls down to small producer communities and homes. GoodWeave protects workers and informs them of their rights, and restores childhood by rescuing children from labour and ensuring their school enrolment. The GoodWeave label is the best assurance to companies and consumers that nobody was exploited in the production of their goods. With over 180 brand partners, such as Macy’s, Target, and Otto, and 20% of international market share, GoodWeave has transformed South Asia’s handmade carpet sector, where child labour has dropped from one million victims in 1995 down to an estimated 200,000 today. That reduction is almost double the global rate. Now, seeking to repeat this success in more product categories, where 152 million children await their freedom, GoodWeave has launched new programmes in home textiles, apparel and fashion jewellery, as well as in capacity building across a range of sectors.

Position Description:

As GoodWeave enters an exciting phase of growth and expansion, this position will play a pivotal role to build relationships with apparel brands that seek full supply chain transparency and protection of workers and their children, and help the organization open up new opportunities across Europe. The Senior Business Development Manager (SBDM) will work in concert with GoodWeave’s Apparel Programme Director, based in Europe, and the GoodWeave International Secretariat Office in Washington DC.  In close coordination with the team, the SBDM will expand consumer and industry awareness of GoodWeave’s apparel and fashion jewellery programme, and identify and secure prospective apparel brands as partners. The SBDM will also establish key strategic partnerships with multi-stakeholder initiatives and other governmental and non-governmental actors.

Working from a home office, the SBDM will develop and deliver a comprehensive strategic and tactical plan for business development, income generation and awareness-raising of GoodWeave’s market-driven approach within the EU.  Key to the SBDM’s success will be communicating the business case to key brands for ensuring child labour-free supply chains, and liaising with brand partners on an ongoing basis to support best-practice due diligence in their supply chains that impact the lives of workers and children.  The SBDM will also play a key role in networking with civil society and industry stakeholders to build knowledge of the program and GoodWeave’s work.  And with creativity and an entrepreneurial spirit, the SBDM will document and share how companies can leverage GoodWeave participation as a tool to build brand loyalty, reach new customers, meet regulatory requirements and increase sales.

Specific duties include:

• Develop and successfully execute a strategic plan to build GoodWeave’s base of committed apparel brand partners. Cultivate strong, productive relationships with apparel brands that lead to GoodWeave partnerships and long-term licensing relationships.
• Design and carry out an effective business communication strategy (print, electronic and social media) in line with the GoodWeave’s global messaging guidelines.
• Represent GoodWeave at trade events to educate the industry on labour issues and the organisation’s unique approach to achieving social good through ethical business practices.
• Support the development of a sustainable long-term revenue model for the GoodWeave system in apparel.

Candidate must thrive in an autonomous, fast-paced, deadline-driven environment and possess a commitment to GoodWeave’s mission, values and work ethic.

Qualifications

The successful candidate will have a track record in private sector business development, ideally in the apparel sector, as well as an understanding of issues surrounding ethical sourcing in global supply chains. Other qualifications include demonstration of program development and management experience, leadership, strategic thinking, entrepreneurial mindset, and ability to work independently.

• 7+ years of experience in a socially responsible business environment, preferably in the apparel or textiles sector.
• Knowledge of ethical supply chain management, and understanding of key international labour rights norms and strategies for ensuring corporate due diligence.
• Demonstrated business development track record, with experience in prospecting, networking, and partnering with third parties.
• Exemplary writing, business planning, interpersonal, and presentation skills. Commitment to GoodWeave’s mission and socially driven business model.
• Highly proficient in spoken and written English, Dutch and/or German a plus.
• International travel, within and outside Europe, is required.
• Must have ability to work in EU/UK.

About Breathe Arts Health Research

The Breathe Arts Health Research team believe everybody has the equal right to lead a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. For some people, however, there are significant barriers to this: ill health, a stressful job, loneliness, or simply living in a society that is not well adapted to their physical or emotional needs. There is strong evidence that the arts can offer people facing these challenges something very special: the chance to discover their creativity and interact with others, giving them purpose and value.  By drawing on this research and breathing music, magic, dance - and much more - into healthcare spaces and communities, we offer people hope, friendship and fulfilment when they need it most. We do this through a diverse range of evidence-based performing arts programmes, co-created with clinicians and artists in order to deliver life-changing experiences.

We have received wide recognition for our innovative, high quality work, including the Action for Children’s Arts Outstanding Contribution Award, NHS England’s Innovation Challenge Award, PwC’s Social Entrepreneurs Club Award and Nesta’s ‘New Radicals’ accolade.  We have featured on BBC Breakfast, London News, ‘Trust Me I’m a Doctor’ and other media. As we now move on from our start-up phase to become more established and sustainable, our ambition is to grow our arts in health programmes and change more people’s lives for the better.  That’s where this role comes in.

About this role

The Head of Development will develop and deliver an effective income generation strategy, taking the lead on managing and growing our relationships with a wide range of new and existing supporters. That means making the most out of some great existing partnerships as well as developing new opportunities, all of which will contribute to us supporting more people.

Breathe is in a great position when it comes to fundraising. We have a strong network of businesses and individuals that are incredibly passionate about our work.  We have a fantastic story and an enthused, engaged set of patrons and ambassadors willing to support our fundraising.  This is a new, standalone role, however all the Breathe team are very engaged in fundraising so the Head of Development will receive excellent, proactive assistance from them, the Managing Director and a network of talented artists ready to participate in events and initiatives in a creative, engaging way.

About you

You are highly empathic and are motivated by building effective relationships.  You’ll have extensive experience in corporate or community fundraising, business development or account management, with a deep understanding of how to build and manage a wide range of partnerships. Specifically:

• You have an aptitude and love for storytelling, being able to influence and persuade both companies and individuals to support Breathe. You can express yourself compellingly in writing and speech, with superb presentation skills
• You are not intimidated by a big financial target (at least £150,000 of income each year)
• You want to work for an organisation that values kindness, innovation and excellence

How to apply

Breathe Arts Health Research is an equal opportunities employer and we embrace diversity within our team. We positively welcome applications from individuals who identify as Deaf and/or disabled and people of all ethnicities.

To apply, please combine into one document (Word or PDF) your tailored CV - up to 3 pages - and a supporting statement - up to 1,000 words - outlining why you want to work for Breathe, why this role appeals, and how you match the criteria outlined in the person specification in the job description.

About the charity

Social entrepreneurs co-founded WE and WE Charity, an international charity and educational partner, 20 years ago. They have grown it into a family of organisations across a number of countries, linked by their shared mission: WE makes doing good, doable.

WE Schools are academic programmes run in schools globally, including 3,000 primary and secondary schools in the UK. The programmes give children (and their teachers) the skills, knowledge and motivation to bring positive change in themselves and the world. The WE Schools programme is proven to increase academic engagement, active citizenship and university and workplace readiness. 

WE Villages is a five-pillar international development model bringing positive change in Africa, Asia and Latin America. Through education, water, health, opportunity and food programmes, WE tackle poverty holistically and for sustained change in the communities in which they work. The impact is impressive and is a useful tool to showcase their work. 

WE Day is a celebration of the WE movement, and an opportunity to celebrate the young people who have made a difference. It is truly unique: you can’t buy a ticket, you must be invited, and it attracts world-renowned speakers, performers, celebrities and real-life impact stories. From a fundraising perspective, WE Day is also a useful hook for potential partners.

Virgin Atlantic funded the establishment of WE Charity’s London office almost 10 years ago. Corporate and foundation support continues to make up most of the UK voluntary income, such as the Virgin Atlantic Foundation, the #iwill Fund, Boots, Unilever and the Rumi Foundation. Income has hovered around the £3m mark for the past four years, but with some contracts coming to an end in 2021, a bigger focus is needed on new business development in the coming years. Targeting large global brands is key.

Job description

WE Charity are looking for a Director of Business Development to manage a Business Development Manager. Together you will be responsible for all prospecting, new approaches, networking, pitching and securing of new significant corporate partnerships. Some of this will be foundations work, but mostly you will be looking at marketing or strategic partnerships.

The charity have some fantastic products. These include Track Your Impact, a fantastic tool which means consumers can purchase a CRM product (either made through the WE social enterprise, or one of the retailer’s own products), as well as WE Day (see above).

The pipeline has been established, with five or six potential partners which look promising, and a wishlist of ideal partners. The team are organised and meticulous with their pipeline tracking on Salesforce, so the new Director of Business Development should be able to get to grips with ongoing conversations quickly. The postholder will start working on big and long-term prospects, rather than going after quick wins straight away.

WE Charity need a first-rate specialist fundraiser to help them on their journey. They expect to continue the rapid trajectory of growth, and in years to come this role could also oversee wider fundraising elements, including statutory, trusts and foundations, and philanthropy.

The Director of Business Development should be personally leading new business development, and ideally will be out at meetings, pitches and/or networking opportunities as much as possible. Some leads will be warm (made through connections, major donor work, trustees, founders and Canadian contacts) but the postholder needs to be equally comfortable going after cold prospects if there is a strategic fit. The role is very senior in order to be able to have the gravitas and confidence to negotiate and influence at C-suite level.

Candidate requirements

Experience

• Significant experience of corporate partnerships/CSR
• Track record of securing significant partnerships, ideally global
• Exceptional pitching and presenting skills
• Competent networker and relationship builder
• Comfortable with travel

Personality

• Highly proactive and self-starting
• Collaborative and flexible
• Enjoys prospecting opportunities
• Professional
• Adaptable
• Cause-driven

WE Charity is a vibrant, purpose-driven, fast-paced, highly dynamic organisation. It is successful around the globe but has retained its start-up feel. The charity aims high, is run by highly influential founder-directors, and has a strong mission and ambitious culture.

Having been founded by a 12-year-old who was frustrated at the responses to his ideas for good, there is a culture of collaboration and encouraging ideas. Confident, intelligent, creative individuals thrive in this environment.

The Director of Business Development will visit international work in the field a few times a year, as well as meetings in North America. They will also be asked to spend some time at the WE global headquarters in Toronto, Canada at the beginning of their employment, for training and induction.

To apply for this role, please click Apply with Charityjob to submit your CV to Emily Birch at QuarterFive Fundraising Recruitment. If your experience is a good fit, we will send you a job description and arrange a briefing call or meeting that will provide you with all the information required to formally apply. QuarterFive aims to proactively support your job search, so we may also consider your details for other job vacancies to enable us to find a position that is most suitable for you.

Acquired brain injury (ABI) is one of the commonest causes of death and disability in working age adults. Survivors of brain injury can live with a range of difficulties affecting their physical and cognitive functioning. Living with a brain injury can result in social isolation, mental health problems, difficulties with family relationships and unemployment.

Headway SELNWK is a medium size charity, over thirty years old, that supports people affected by ABI. We provide support services across SE London and North West Kent in the community and at our day services in Deptford and Shooter's Hill. Most of our members’ support is funded by social services or the NHS. Whilst we want to maximise this funding where possible, we also want to develop models of support that are not dependent upon statutory funding.

Headway has well established links with local hospitals, notably with the Major Trauma Centre at Kings’ College Hospital.  We foster active links with a range of community providers including neurological rehabilitation and social work teams and other Third Sector organisations.

Headway SELNWK is entering a phase of new development and is looking to recruit an outstanding Director of Strategy and Business Development. The ideal candidate will have significant experience of working with people affected by ABI and an evident passion for the charity’s mission to improve outcomes for them.

The postholder will be responsible for overseeing the development of the charity’s strategy and external relationships to drive the charity’s mission.

With a strong commitment to working co-productively with our members and their families, the post holder will identify what is already working well, what could be improved and how to implement and evaluate these improvements. The post holder will work closely with our Community Organiser to develop inclusive and inspiring models of practice that are responsive to the needs of our members and their families. This role will be key in developing a strategy for the training and development of our staff so as to best meet the needs of our members and their families and the demands of the local health and social care system.

With the Director of Finance and Operations and the Board of Trustees the post holder will develop a short-, medium- and long-term strategy to improve the charity’s operations and will work across the charity to implement and evaluate the strategic aims and objectives.

Therefore the post holder should have good project management skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities at once. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are essential as the post holder will represent the charity to external partners such as commissioners, supporters and other statutory and third sector organisations.

The post holder must understand how Headway SELNWK's local work fits into regional and national agendas to develop services for people affected by ABI. We'd expect the post holder to have awareness of the challenges and opportunities of working within the Third Sector.

The ideal candidate will not necessarily have all of the required and desired characteristics, though they will certainly have real strengths in some of these areas. What is most important is that they will have a commitment to the charity’s mission. They will demonstrate a genuine openness to feedback and continuing improvement and will seek to learn from the experience of our members and their families.

What we are looking for?

We are looking for someone with experience of facilitating either operational or strategic planning, ideally in a brain injury rehabilitation service and/or within the Third Sector. You should have demsonstrable experience in developing plans with clear objectives and outcomes. You will be confident, astute and strategic in your assessment of complex issues, an excellent listener and someone who has the ability to manage a variety of stakeholders with differing expectations.
