We are seeking a Chief Executive Officer, to lead the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)’s new national fundraising partner, UK for UNHCR.

Today, the organisation delivers humanitarian assistance in more than 130 countries as displacement reaches a record 70 million people worldwide. By supporting host countries, seeking resettlement options in third countries and helping refugees return home voluntarily when safe to do so, UNHCR also seeks lasting solutions to their plight.

The launch of UK for UNHCR reflects the growing role of private sector fundraising and partnerships in supporting UNHCR global humanitarian operations, which are responding to unprecedented levels of displacement. UK for UNHCR is a registered charity (England & Wales).

We live in the midst of radical changes to the ways people access news and information.

When Index on Censorship was founded nearly 50 years ago, few could have foreseen the manner in which technology would now be changing the ways we engage with politics and democracy. Although the landscape of communication has changed, threats to freedom of expression remain as grave as they were 50 years ago – in the UK and around the world.

Index is looking for a resourceful and outspoken leader to steer the organisation through this changing terrain, and to protect the right for everyone to be free to express themselves without fear of harm or persecution – no matter what their views. From tackling legislative threats to digital freedom at home, to spotlighting issues of repression and censorship in China, Russia and Azerbaijan, we are seeking a Chief Executive to put free speech for everyone at the forefront of the political, campaign and news agenda.

What you will do

Index on Censorship has a small team that punches well above its weight. You will ensure the organisation is well run and enjoys a healthy office culture, strong relationships with the board and diligent financial management, so that we are well set to protect freedom of expression for another fifty years.

You will be the main outward face of Index on Censorship and build that presence on broadcast media, in the papers and on social media. You will be confident in championing the cause of freedom of expression and when explaining why it must be protected as a universal right for all, even at times when others are looking to close down conversations.

You will be an excellent fundraiser, nurturing relationships and developing philanthropic partnerships which allow us to continue our advocacy campaigns, our magazine and our projects to support freedom of expression. We have a strong board with which you will work closely, while also building your own networks, to ensure we receive the financial backing we need from private individuals, corporates and foundation trusts.

You will build Index on Censorship as both a publisher of freedom of expression and a campaign organisation – a leader in advocacy for freedom of expression, ensuring that voices are heard beyond those normally associated with our cause. Through building strong partnerships and networks you will enable us to grow our capacity to advocate for individuals and groups, including to the government.

How to apply

Send your CV and a cover letter of no more than three A4 pages outlining your suitability for the role.

CEO – Air Ambulances UK

Would you like the opportunity to lead the national Charity supporting, representing and advocating the lifesaving work of the nation’s air ambulance charities and the wider air ambulance sector?

Background

Air Ambulances UK is a national charity, originally founded in 2015, to support the 21 air ambulance charities across the UK. Its activities have been focussed on raising funds from the types of national fundraising partnerships for which the individual ‘local’ charities are not eligible. The funds raised are then distributed amongst the ‘local’ charities.

In January 2020, the Association of Air Ambulances Ltd (AAA), the long-standing professional trade body of the UK’s air ambulance sector, was merged into Air Ambulances UK, the national charity. This has formed one single nationwide organisation for the UK’s air ambulance charities, as well as for the wider air ambulance services community which brings huge benefits and opportunities to the sector.  Not only does it provide a more streamlined and effective way to achieve the joint overall aim of improving pre-hospital care for patients, it also creates just one single national entity with which other organisations and the public can more easily engage and support.

The new organisation will retain its charitable status and continue its fundraising work while taking on the important remit and activities of the AAA.  Our unified aim is to bring together global-leading clinical and aviation expertise and world-class businesses and organisations to drive innovation, development and funding of pre-hospital emergency care, enabling air ambulance charities to save even more lives every day across the UK. 

Appointment of a Chief Executive

For the first time the charity intends to appoint a CEO.  The CEO will provide leadership and management to the new organisation and will work closely with the Chair and the Board of Trustees to set the strategic direction.  As well as being responsible for the effective day to day management of the charity, the CEO will act as an ambassador, developing and brokering strategic partnerships and collaborations with other stakeholders and working to ensure that AAUK offers an invaluable service to its Members and the wider air ambulance community.

The CEO will have strong strategic leadership and operational management ability, excellent communication skills and a ‘can-do’ attitude. Experience of and the ability to transform strategy into delivery with clarity and accuracy, and a demonstrable capacity to develop relationships with a variety of stakeholders, will be key attributes for this post.  

We are incredibly excited about the opportunities that the unification of AAA and AAUK brings to the lifesaving work of the nation’s air ambulance charities and the wider air ambulance sector and the potential for this role.

If you want to play a leading part in shaping the future of our services across the UK, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

The location of the role is flexible – there will need to be a decision about whether/where any office is located and the role is likely to be home based with travel required initially (AAA office is currently in Henley in Arden and the lease expires in July, AAUK staff are currently home based)

Eastside Primetimers is supporting us in recruiting for this role. Please download the candidate information pack for further information before you apply. Application is by CV and a covering letter which should indicate why you are interested in applying for the role and how you meet the role requirements.  If you would like a call to discuss the role in more detail, please contact Paul Venning on +44 (0) 77 71 99 71 24.

The closing date for applications is Monday 24th Feb with shortlisting interviews taking place that week and the week after.  Interviews with Air Ambulance UK will take place week commencing 16th March.

Z2K (Zacchaeus 2000 Trust) is an anti-poverty charity, campaigning for a social security system that works as a safety net and a tool for move on.

Our casework reaches hundreds of Londoners annually, who would otherwise be denied the benefits they are entitled to and would be at serious risk of homelessness. Our policy work is of national relevance as we seek to influence government and policymakers on the injustices we see in welfare reform as well as housing issues.

We take an evidenced-based, rigorous approach, meaning our policy work is based on our casework and the experiences of our clients.

In 2019, we helped 1,220 people to fight for their benefits, securing nearly £3m in financial benefits in total.  This number includes representing 451 clients at tribunal, mainly in relation to disability benefits. To date, 343 tribunal hearings have had decisions made, of which we won 313 cases, a 92% win ratio which highlights the staggering number of people who are systematically being denied access to the benefits they are entitled to.  In addition to our casework, we helped house single homeless people in the Private Rented Sector and many others to maintain their tenancies.  We also assisted 187 people to access additional services such as ESOL, financial capability and counselling.

Acting as ambassador and spokesperson, we are now looking for our next CEO to be the public face for all our campaigning and casework. You will lead the organisation to the next stage in our growth, building on our current strategy to ensure a more significant impact and change for the millions of people who are living in poverty. A vital element of the role will be to maintain and develop relationships with stakeholders in government, parliament, sector-wide partners and the media. You will also take overall responsibility for increasing and diversifying our income streams, building on our strong relationships with existing funders and seeking out new opportunities.  In all of this, you will work closely with the Senior Management Team, made up of a Director of Policy and Head of Casework and Support Services.  In addition, you will line manage and be supported by a Fundraising Manager and an Office Manager. 

You will report directly to the Chair of Trustees and be responsible to the full Board. 

This is an exciting time to be joining Z2K, building on its most recent successes.  We are reaching the end of our current three-year strategy; our focus remains on social security and housing, but there is scope within this to shape the direction in which we continue to go.

Z2K is committed to equality of opportunity and diversity. We encourage and welcome applications from all parts of the community regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships.
