St Nicholas Hospice Care is recruiting a Director of Income Generation to help shape the development, delivery and strategy for fundraising, retail and marketing, enabling the best possible support for people in West Suffolk and Thetford facing dying, death and grief.
Who we are
St Nicholas Hospice Care is a welcoming place where someone with a life-limiting condition can get the specialist care, emotional and practical support they need.
We’re here to enable people to have a good quality of life, for as long as possible. That might mean managing pain and other symptoms, giving personal care, providing physiotherapy to keep someone mobile, offering counselling to work through difficult emotions or arranging special activities to make all-important memories with loved ones.
We look after people on our ward or wherever they call home – whether that’s their own home, living with family or in a care setting. We look after their family and friends too, because when someone is facing the end of their life, it affects everyone around them. We can offer practical help when caring for a loved one, answer difficult questions, or just be a listening ear in the hard times.
We strive for something better in the provision of high-quality, specialist palliative care, emotional and practical support, so that no one in West Suffolk and Thetford has to face dying, death and grief alone.
About the role
Reporting to the CEO, you’ll support and work collaboratively with the CEO and Directorate team to shape the development, delivery and success of the Hospice’s strategy and operational plans.
You’ll lead the Hospice’s non-statutory income generation (IG), providing strategic leadership and high-level operational oversight that enables the Hospice to deliver against its strategic and operational plans.
With ownership of the development and implementation of marketing and communications strategies, you’ll increase engagement with key target audiences, build and lead a high-performing team of staff and oversee substantial income growth.
Who we are looking for
We seek a values-led, senior multi-income generation leader with a proven track record of delivering substantial income targets, overseeing multiple income streams, including trading, community, individual giving, events, philanthropy and corporate partnerships.
You’ll be a strategic and inspiring leader, capable of building high-performing, collaborative teams with energy and purpose.
With overall responsibility for statutory and regulatory requirements in relation to fundraising, retail and marketing activities, you’ll enhance the profile of the Hospice locally and nationally to facilitate the delivery of the organisational strategy and its income.
You will be joining a warm and ambitious organisation with a deeply rooted community presence and a clear commitment to impact. It is a brilliant opportunity for someone ready to shape and deliver the next chapter of income generation for one of the region’s most important charities.

Our client is one of the UK's largest independent funders, awarding £100 million annually to charities across the UK. Our grant-making supports initiatives in health, welfare, education, the arts, and heritage.
The Trust was founded to realise the philanthropic vision of Sir Hans Rausing and to honour the memory of his late wife, Julia Rausing. Julia's legacy is rooted in a belief in a healthy, compassionate society-one that cares for the vulnerable, broadens opportunity, and enriches life through creativity and cultural engagement. The Trust takes a broad, strategic, and relational approach to philanthropy, remaining agile and responsive while grounded in personal values.
Prospectus is delighted to be working with The Trust to recruit an Operations Executive to join the team based full-time from the office in Chelsea, London.
The Role:
As the Trust grows in activity and complexity-including its recent transition to a Charitable Incorporated Organisation-we are creating a new role: Operations Executive. This role sits at the heart of the organisation, ensuring our operations run smoothly while supporting the Chief Executive with executive coordination and administration.
Though not a grant-making role, this position offers valuable insight into the charity sector and the inner workings of a major philanthropic organisation. You will be responsible for a wide range of operational and strategic support functions - from facilities and IT systems to Board coordination and external communications. It's a unique opportunity for a capable and enthusiastic individual to play a vital part in our continued growth and impact.
The person:
This successful candidate will have a substantial track record in providing operational and administrative support in a busy office environment, ideally but not essentially in the charity or not-for-profit sector. This will have involved exposure to office and facilities management, reception and visitor support, internal and external relationship management, governance and compliance, finance and budgeting in addition to PA or EA type support to a CEO or senior management teams.
The key to this role lies in its breadth, and being able to see the bigger picture, anticipating needs and to plan ahead effectively to provide comprehensive support across this small but very busy organisation. Highly organised with excellent attention to detail, this person will be able to multi-task and prioritise various pieces of work across the business. They will be collaborative and will be able to tailor their skills to a wide range of needs and if something is not within their immediate skills set, they will have the confidence and initiative to seek out solutions and make them work. Strong written and verbal communications and proficiency in all MS Office packages and experience with SharePoint and Zoom will be important in addition to being confident in proofreading and formatting documents for board papers and reports. Strong budget monitoring abilities and an understanding of data protection and confidentiality standards will also me important.
Experience of having worked in small, busy organisations where a broad knowledge across office based systems will be crucial, with the flexibility and adaptability to tailor skills where necessary and to seek out workable solutions to a wide range of issues. An exposure to HR processes will also be useful as well as being genuinely interested in the important work of the Trust. This role lies at the heart of the organisation and will be central to its ongoing success in meeting its charitable aims and objectives.

Yateley Industries is a unique and ambitious charity which has provided employment in our factory, training, accommodation and community engagement for disabled and neurodivergent adults for over 90 years. Our mission is to create a more inclusive society where everyone can thrive.
Under the new management, the charity has developed additional activities, including Community Hub, Food pantry and Café, and is looking to reestablish the design and printing roots of the organisation. We have a new set of trustees, a dynamic leadership team, a re-energised workforce and a strategy for the development of our site.
While our history is long, our fundraising journey has only recently begun. The dedicated fundraising function was only established two years ago and in that short time, we've grown income from under £60,000 to £300-350,000 per year. That’s a testament to what’s possible here - and it’s just the beginning.
An opportunity has arisen to join Yateley’s entrepreneurial management team in the position of Trusts & Grants Manager, taking over and further developing on the strong foundations that have been laid in the last few years. There is still much to build and plenty of challenges to navigate but we believe this is a once in a career opportunity to shape a high-impact, high-potential function from the inside out.
If you're ambitious and want to leave a legacy, this is your moment.
Please submit an up to date CV and a Cover Letter of no more than two sides of A4, outlining why you are a good fit for the role. Make sure to reference your skills and experience to the Job Description.
To provide high-quality accommodation, meaningful employment, training and enriching opportunities for disabled and neurodivergent adults.

LSW is a bilingual organisation that supports active Welsh speakers and learners at all levels. Fluency in Welsh is not a requirement of this post, but the ability to communicate in Welsh is desirable, and a willingness to learn is essential.
About the role
Managed by the Head of Public Policy, this is a role which is designed to work across our small team, supporting the management of a wide range of events (online and in person) as well as providing some support for communications, meetings and other areas as they develop.
We organise and host a wide variety of events from large public lectures to small networking events, in-person dinners to online seminars and meetings. Some of these are established annual events and some are one-off. At these events and meetings, we host stakeholders from across Welsh political and public spheres as well as engaging and involving our 700+ Fellows who represent excellence across academia and beyond.
This role will focus primarily on events relating to LSW’s Strategic Priority 1: “Contribute to major policy solutions by providing independent advice and facilitating knowledge exchange”. These events typically relate to one of the following five topics:
1. Facilitating the provision of evidence and expertise to inform public policy, with stakeholders including Welsh Government, the Senedd, the UK Government Wales Office, and the Westminster Welsh Affairs Committee.
2. Convening discussions on policy matters impacting research and innovation sectors, such as EDI, research culture, funding, open research, and civic engagement.
3. Advocating for the importance of all research, innovation, and knowledge in and for Wales.
4. Supporting and advocating for Wales Studies, i.e. research about Wales.
5. International engagement to raise Wales’s profile among science and research stakeholders internationally, and give Wales a voice in key conversations in the global science and research world. (Most current work is in Scotland and Ireland, with increasing European engagement)
You will also provide support across the team – including for the CEO, President, Head of Equity and Engagement, Communications Officer, and Events and Awards Officer where they require assistance with meetings, events and communications. You will be working with different members of the team depending on the particular event or activity so you will manage your own time – with support from your line manager.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

You don’t need to tick every box; if you care about making a difference, we want to hear from you.
We’re looking for two Place Leads to help drive our work in Stoke-on-Trent and East Staffordshire. Each role will be rooted in its local area, but both will work across the whole county, helping us build more connected, inclusive systems that support people to be active in ways that matter to them.
This work is part of a wider investment from Sport England, focused on changing how systems support people to be active. That means shaping how physical activity is understood, prioritised, and embedded, not just in programmes, but in policies, partnerships, and everyday decisions. That includes health, local government, community development, and beyond.
You’ll work with partners, communities, and decision-makers to make sense of what’s already happening, spot where things are stuck, and help shift both the culture and the practice. The work will be messy, layered, and relational. Some days will be about strategy. Others will be about trust.
You’ll be part of a small, committed team working across policy, systems, community insight and practice. And you’ll be trusted to bring your own judgement, experience, and clarity to the role.
If you’re someone who can see the potential in people and systems, even when they’re tired or fragmented, we’d love to hear from you.
Role Outcomes:
- Improve wellbeing outcomes for families as part of place expansion work
- Connected, vibrant, proactive system of partners working in core priority places
- Grassroots, community organisations in our priority places are part of decision making
- Robust learning and evaluation framework in place the can effectively demonstrate the our impact across systems and directly for people living in place
- The people who need to understand and demonstrate system leadership do
- Coordinated, coherent approach has been developed to place based working in areas of focus.
What does this mean day to day?
- You’ll spend time listening to what’s emerging in communities, building trust with partners, and making sense of how insight, decisions, and action travel across the system.
- You’ll support our governance groups, coordinating agendas, shaping recommendations, and helping hold people gently but clearly to account for the things they’ve committed to.
- You’ll track where energy is building, where its leaking, and where attention needs to shift. That means spotting patterns, asking difficult questions, and making sure conversations lead to decisions, and decisions lead to change.
- You’ll need to hold contradictions without forcing resolution: where different truths exist at once, where progress creates new tensions, and where outcomes are unclear. Critical thinking is key; this role is as much about reflection and challenge as it is about delivery.
- Some days you’ll be co-designing a development session. Other days, you’ll be reflecting on what’s working, what’s drifting, and how we bring things back into focus. You’ll be supported by a small team who care about doing this work well, with clarity, kindness, and a shared sense of purpose.
How do we value you?
- Generous annual leave allowance: 27.5 days upon commencement of employment plus bank holidays. This rises by an additional 1 day of leave per year after 2 years of continuous employment, up to an additional 5 days leave in total. (Pro rata for part time staff)
- Three concessionary days leave over Christmas and New Year (pro rata for part time staff)
- Death in service scheme up to the value of three times actual salary
- Volunteer day to spend either as a team or individual helping out with an organisation or cause you select
- Up to 8% employer contribution to pension scheme
- Reimbursement of the cost of a standard eye test as a user of visual display equipment
- Health & Wellbeing Cashplan – including access to a virtual GP any day anytime, Discounts to gym memberships, Retail discounts such as cinema tickets and your weekly shop.
- Access to Cyclescheme
- Annual CPD courses offered by Staffordshire University
- Online skills training platform – for employees to use to broaden their professional and personal development across a range of online courses.
- Access to counselling service.
To apply, please visit our website, read our recruitment pack, and send us your CV along with a cover letter answering the three questions below.
We’re recruiting on a rolling basis. If your application feels like a good fit, we’ll be in touch within a week to arrange an interview.
Questions to answer:
-
What draws you to place-based systems work, and what helps you stay with it when it gets messy or slow?
We’re interested in your motivation, but also in your mindset; how you approach complexity, pace, and change that doesn’t always follow a plan. -
Tell us about a time you helped hold people or partners to account in a way that built trust rather than eroded it.
This could be from work, volunteering, or anywhere you’ve had to navigate power, tension, or different agendas with care. -
How do you recognise when systems change is happening, and when it isn’t?
We don’t need a textbook answer. We want to hear how you spot movement (or drift), and what you pay attention to when trying to shift something deeper than outputs.
We exist to design out inactivity across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.
