Independent Age is the national charity focused on improving the lives of people facing financial hardship in later life. We believe no one should face financial hardship in later life.
Our Helpline and expert advisers offer free, practical support to older people without enough money to live on. Through our grants programme, we support hundreds of local organisations working with older people across the UK.
We use the knowledge and insight gained from our support services and partnerships to highlight the issues experienced by older people in poverty and campaign for change.
We would love to find individuals from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds to join us on this journey.
Responsibilities and Person Specification:
This is a critical and influential role at Independent Age, reporting to the Head of Governance. The post holder will provide high-quality support across a broad and impactful portfolio, including risk management, procurement and contracts, governance, safeguarding and business continuity, helping to build a culture where accountability, learning and continuous improvement drive meaningful change.
Working closely with senior leaders and the Board, you will play an important role in enabling effective and confident decision-making across every level of the charity. This is an opportunity to contribute across a wide range of areas and to see the direct impact of your work on how the organisation functions and delivers its mission.
We are looking for someone with a genuine passion for risk management, alongside a strong understanding of not-for-profit governance best practice. You will also bring experience in at least one of the following areas: procurement, contracts management, third party contract risk, business continuity planning, policy management or safeguarding.
You will be an excellent communicator, confident working with senior stakeholders, with strong attention to detail and a proactive, can-do approach. Above all, you will take pride in getting things done efficiently and to a high standard and be motivated by the opportunity to work for a values-led organisation making a meaningful difference to older people.
This is a full-time role, 35 hours per week, which you can choose to work over five days or a 9-day fortnight.
If your experience doesn’t align perfectly with all of the above criteria but you do meet most of them and are excited about the role, we encourage you to apply anyway.
What it’s like to work at Independent Age:
We celebrate diversity at Independent Age and champion the differences that make each of us unique. We actively support and encourage people from a variety of backgrounds, experiences and skill sets to join us and help shape what we do. We aim to attract and retain a wide range of talent and create an environment where everyone can feel safe, protected, welcome and included. In line with this, our office has many inclusive features, and there is no dress code.
We offer great benefits including 28 days annual leave plus public holidays, a generous pension scheme with life assurance, and fantastic learning and development opportunities. We also offer a number of enhanced leave provisions and benefits.
We know that a good work life balance helps us perform at our best and supports wellbeing. Flexible working hours and hybrid working is standard for all, but if you need a different form of flexibility, we are always happy to talk flexible working. Those contracted to work in the office are required to attend the office a minimum of 4 days per month. This role supports Board and committee meetings which may be held online or in the office, meaning availability to support with this is required.

An exciting moment to join us
YMCA England & Wales is entering one of the most exciting chapters in its fundraising history, launching our ambition to create 10,000 new homes for young people by 2030. Working alongside local YMCAs, we will support the development of new accommodation across the country, helping young people move towards independence. This role sits at the heart of that ambition.
We seek a dynamic charity fundraiser to lead the development of new high-value corporate partnerships. This role offers an exceptional career opportunity to shape and deliver the next phase of our national corporate fundraising ambition, building on a strong foundation of award-winning work. Late in 2025 our Corporate Partnerships team was recognised at the Corporate Engagement Awards with multiple awards. During the early months of 2026 the ground-work for our multi-year strategy has been laid: The 10,000 Homes Fund is our flagship proposition. Now is the time to execute.
About the role
As Senior Fundraising Manager, you will play a crucial role in securing new revenue of significant scale and impact. You will deliver new business; identifying, cultivating, and closing significant corporate relationships. You will design compelling partnership propositions, manage high-level external engagement, and ensure alignment with YMCA’s mission and strategic priorities.
This is a senior position with scope to influence the direction of YMCA’s corporate fundraising strategy and the culture of the wider team. You will provide leadership and guidance to your team, while also contributing to a collaborative and ambitious environment across fundraising and wider organisation.
About you
The successful candidate will be an experienced fundraiser with demonstrable results in winning new corporate partnerships. You are probably the top performer at your current charity, can evidence multiple six figure successes and are eager to take the next step in your career by moving to a strategic, senior role. You will be motivated by the opportunity to shape a growing programme, work with high-profile brands, and create opportunities that deliver lasting change for young people and communities across England and Wales.
Why join us now
YMCA is the oldest and largest youth charity in the world, serving communities across England and Wales every day. The fundraising team is geared up for success, the strategy is set, the proposition is proven, and the results are already coming in. The plan now is to hire the talent to take this momentum to the next level.
YMCA England & Wales is committed to equality and valuing diversity. We welcome applications from all backgrounds.

Help us tell the story of a college that changes lives
WM College is an educational charity with a long-standing mission to support adult learners and the wider Camden community. We're looking for a creative, organised and people-focused Marketing & Events Coordinator to help tell our story — through engaging events, exhibitions and content that show what our learners achieve.
What you'll be doing
This is a genuinely varied role at the heart of college life. One week you might be coordinating a private view in our gallery; the next, capturing learner stories at our awards evening or helping welcome hundreds of visitors at an open day.
In this varied role, you'll:
- Help plan and deliver open days, exhibitions, private views, learner awards, craft fairs and other college events
- Create and schedule content for our website and social channels, capturing learner stories, photos and video along the way
- Liaise with learners, staff and local partners to celebrate what we do
- Keep the practical side running smoothly - event logistics, marketing administration and supplier coordination
Who we're looking for
You might be a marketing assistant, events coordinator or arts administrator - or you might come from somewhere else entirely.
This role is ideal for someone who:
- Has experience in marketing and/or events - in any sector, though education, charity, arts or community experience is a bonus
- Enjoys working collaboratively and thrives in a purpose-driven environment
- Can juggle priorities, stay organised, and communicate with warmth and clarity
- Is motivated by a mission to help others access education and lifelong learning
- Wants to join a new, growing team and help shape the college's future - no two days are the same
How and where you'll work:
- Part-time: 0.6 FTE (equivalent to three days a week)
- The salary is £16,949 - £18,245 per annum (pro-rata of £28,248 - £30,408 FTE)
- Hybrid working: our marketing team is in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and we'd ideally like you in for one or two of those days; the rest is flexible between home and office
- Occasional evening and weekend work to support events, planned well in advance - including two Saturday open days a year
- This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check, which we arrange
Why join us
By joining WM College, you'll be part of something special - helping us continue to offer inclusive, supportive education for those who need it most.
Interviews are scheduled for w/c 6th July (likely 7–8 July).
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
