The Royal Ballet and Opera continues to lead the way in opera, ballet, music and dance both live on stage and through multiple digital platforms, from live streaming to worldwide cinema screenings. Our Covent Garden theatre has been at the heart of London and British cultural life for three centuries. We are home to two world-class Companies: The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera.

The Royal Opera House describes the place we work, not who we are. The whole is always more than the sum of its parts - we may be a House, but three quarters of our audiences experience what we do outside this building. While our Covent Garden theatre is the nerve centre, the impact and influence of the organisation can be felt in every corner of the country, and around the world.

We could not maintain this range of work or our digital presence without support from philanthropists, funders, members, business partners and sponsors. Legacies contribute circa £1.2m to the RBO per annum through the Royal Opera House Endowment Fund and approximately £500k directly to the Royal Opera House Covent Garden Foundation.

We are now seeking an interim Senior Legacies and Endowment Manager who will review, build and deliver the organisation`s strategy for Endowment Funding and legacy-giving, to expand both. This role will suit a candidate who has excellent programme planning and project management skills. You will be a subject matter expert, who can help develop not only the strategy but also the small team around you. With excellent relationship management and development skills, you will role model best practice and demonstrate credibility and influence as an ambassador for the Royal Ballet and Opera.

You will have:

• Extensive experience of planning and leading programmes for giving and legacy giving in performing arts/ museum/ wider charity sector, with up-to-date knowledge of tax and other technical issues
• Highly developed written and verbal communication skills, with ability to inspire and influence wide range of stakeholders
• The ability to develop a successful strategy and marketing plan for audience engagement
• The ability to devise and deliver a programme of benefits and events for supporters, working with multi-disciplinary teams for delivery
• The ability to devise bespoke programmes for stewardship of high value relationships as required

We value the diversity new hires can bring to our workforce. A working knowledge of our repertoire is not essential, but the ability to learn quickly is.

The Royal Ballet and Opera is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment in which everyone can thrive. We particularly welcome applications from those who are from a global majority background and/or those who are disabled, as they are under-represented within our organisation. As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee to interview all disabled applicants who meet the essential minimum criteria for our vacancies.

Closing date for applications: 8am, Monday 27th October 2025

Applicants must have work authorisation for the UK. No agencies.

At Working Options, we are keenly aware that talent exists in all parts of society, and yet opportunities are not available to all. We aim to help all young people in the UK to transform their career and life chances. In 2024 we delivered in-person activities for 73,000 young people and engaged 2.5 million with digital content. We are proud of the impact our small, dedicated team has, and we can only achieve this success with committed volunteers, schools and funding partners who value the services we offer.

We were founded in Luton in 2012, and in 2024 following a generous grant from the Moondance Foundation we launched our work in Wales. So far, we have supported 20,000 Welsh students in a quarter of Welsh secondary schools. By 2029 we aim to be working in all state secondary schools across the country.

We are looking for a strategic lead to take our work in Wales to the next level. With oversight of our Wales Accelerator, the postholder will develop relationships with funders, media, government, and other key players to open doors for our work across Wales. You will listen and respond to local needs to direct our operational work on the ground.

Success in this role will be measured by our increased profile, new partnerships and income secured to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of our work in Wales.

We are flexible about whether this is a full-time or part-time position. The postholder will work closely with me and our Trustees, our key Advisors and Ambassadors (high-profile and well-connected individuals from a range of sectors), as well as our Head of Programme and delivery team for Wales. Your contribution to our work will be critical to our success, maximising the number of businesses, individuals and schools joining our movement to help all young people in Wales achieve career success.

At HCT, we’re showing how lived experience can transform public health. With almost 500 staff and volunteers working across every NHS area and prison in England — and in parts of Scotland and Wales — we connect some of the most marginalised communities to the services that too often miss them.

We’re now seeking a Research & Impact Manager to lead a programme that places inclusion, impact and lived experience at the heart of research. You’ll shape and deliver studies that improve understanding, influence local and national policy, and demonstrate how peer-led approaches can achieve real health equity.

About the role

As Research & Impact Manager, you’ll take day-to-day leadership of our research and evaluation programmes. 

You’ll manage and develop our incredible team of peer researchers, supervise our Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) Associate with the University of Essex, and build partnerships across academia, government, the NHS, and the voluntary sector. 

You’ll also design and deliver evaluations of our programmes, help evidence how lived experience-led services can improve equity in health and care, and support funding bids and grant applications, and the dissemination of impactful research.

About you

You’ll bring both strategic insight and hands-on research skills, ideally with a strong qualitative background. You’ll be comfortable working across academic, policy, and lived experience settings — and you’ll share our deep commitment to social justice and inclusion health.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing charity at a crucial stage in its development. As part of our team, you’ll help shape how we fund projects, communicate their impact, and uncover unmet needs that will inform future fundraising appeals and strategic priorities.

We’re looking for someone who is flexible, proactive, and ready to get involved in a variety of tasks. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and can confidently juggle multiple priorities, we would love to hear from you.

You will oversee our Special Purpose Fund (SPF) portfolio, working closely with staff teams to help shape and deliver high-impact projects, ensuring funds are used effectively and in line with organisational priorities and guidance.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery. You will lead on strengthening our grants processes and systems, and work collaboratively with colleagues across Charity Finance, Fund Advisors, Divisional Directors, and the wider team to ensure funds make a real difference where they are needed most.

A key part of this role involves working in partnership with St George’s Hospital Charity on joint funding opportunities and shared initiatives across our hospital group.

ABOUT US

The WHO Foundation (WHOF), launched in May 2020 and headquartered in Geneva, was created as an independent Swiss foundation affiliated with but independent of WHO. Its mission is to mobilize greater private capital and partnership to advance the mission of the World Health Organization (WHO), enabling catalytic impact on the people whose lives rely on WHO’s work and facilitating innovation to maximize the impact of the resources we invest.

WHO plays a singular role in leading the global health ecosystem, acting as a first-responder to health crises — including the current conflict in Ukraine and on behalf of the 15+ million people in urgent need of aid in Horn of Africa; producing technical guidelines and tools to prevent and treat disease; and acting as a country-level convener with an unparalleled level of trust. The crises of the 21st century, including COVID-19, have made clear both the inequity of access to effective and affordable healthcare and the indispensable role of WHO. Yet WHO lacks sufficient resources to fulfill its mandate. And, beyond funding, its vision cannot be achieved by the public sector alone.

The WHO Foundation was therefore created as an independent Swiss foundation affiliated with but independent of WHO to marshal new resources from philanthropists, foundations, businesses, and individuals to support its mission: promote health, keep the world safe, and serve the vulnerable, while protecting the neutrality and independence of WHO as the world’s leading health authority. WHOF is a nexus for unique opportunities in global health, facilitating game-changing opportunities between the private sector and WHO. Our focus is on mobilizing grant income, shared value partnerships, and investment to power WHO’s work.

PURPOSE

This role sits within the growing development team and will be responsible for managing a US and International portfolio of current and prospective major donors, cultivating relationships with individuals, trusts, and corporations and soliciting major gifts and stewarding donors effectively to encourage their lasting support.

About the role

Reporting in to the Partnership & Strategy Lead, the Contracts and Portfolio Manager for the East & Southern Africa region provides strategic oversight and management of Christian Aid’s restricted funding portfolio across the Multi-Country Cluster (MCC).

The post-holder will ensure effective delivery, compliance, and reporting for donor-funded programmes while contributing to Christian Aid’s organisational values and goals, and plays a key role in building relationships with donors, ensuring contract compliance, and supporting programme teams and partners in delivering high-quality programmes aligned with organisational values and goals, while fostering a mindset of connection and enhancing collaboration.

• Develop and maintain relationships with external donor contacts as the main point of contact for Christian Aid to foster a mindset of connection.
• Oversee donor-funded programme expenditure budgets and appeal funds, advising the MCC SLT to ensure teams have what they need to deliver donor funded work, e.g. correct staffing in place to ensure regular reviews and corrective action taken as needed.
• Implement a robust donor portfolio risk management framework and support audits to ensure consistent high-quality work is delivered, and ensures the donor portfolio is strategic and delivers on strategic focus and model.
• Work closely with MEAL colleagues to ensure donor reporting obligations are met across the MCC contract portfolio, ensuring consistency of delivery and alignment with decolonised MEAL approaches.
• Foster a team mindset by engaging in a dynamic way across the cluster, and by providing coaching, guidance, and professional development opportunities for the Restricted Funding Officer.
• Collaborate with internal teams such as MEAL, Finance, Advocacy, and Operations to ensure integrated programming approaches and foster a mindset of connection.

• Detailed understanding of donor compliance requirements for institutional donors such as governments or private foundations.

Responsible for:    IT Officer

Contract:                Permanent

Conciliation Resources

Conciliation Resources (CR) is an independent international organisation working with people in conflict to prevent violence, resolve conflicts and promote peaceful societies. We believe that building sustainable peace takes time. We provide practical support to help people affected by violent conflict achieve lasting peace. We draw on our shared experiences to improve peacebuilding policies and practice worldwide. We currently have over 80 full and part-time staff members, working mainly out of offices in the UK, Belgium, Australia, Philippines, Kenya, Ethiopia and Central African Republic. We work with over 100 locally-based and international partners worldwide.

Job Purpose

The purpose of the IT Manager role is to lead CR’s internal IT operations and infrastructure. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, the IT Manager will be responsible for the effective and efficient management of our IT systems, ensuring their reliability, security, and alignment with the company's strategic goals.

While the role is based in London, it needs to provide oversight to the global IT systems of the organisation, ensuring systems will function effectively in all operating contexts, taking into account issues such as internet bandwidth and electricity reliability.

The role is supported by an IT Officer who handles the majority of user-facing support issues, and can draw on a long-term part-time IT consultant who has a deep knowledge of the organisation’s IT systems and infrastructure. This allows the IT Manager to focus more on strategic planning information and infrastructure management, and IT project delivery.

The successful candidate will provide a balance of strategic and operational skills. While they will be able to draw on the IT Officer and Consultant for much hands-on work, they will, at times, need to take on more of the operational tasks. At the same time, they must possess the judgement and insight to understand the technical landscape, determine organisational needs, and identify and engage external specialists as needed.
