Who we are

Grassroots Suicide Prevention (GSP) is a national charity committed to the timely intervention and prevention of suicide. We work to empower people to help save lives through connecting, educating, and campaigning nationally. Our vision is a future where more lives are saved from suicide.

About the role

We are looking for a very confident, outgoing go-getter who loves using their gregarious personality to influence and enthuse people to get results but also enjoys being organised with strong admin processes.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who has been involved in influencing organisations, businesses and groups or individuals to sign up to our range of challenge events (e.g. marathons etc.) You will be a part of a small but dynamic marketing and fundraising team and involved in many aspects of our work but focusing on filling and retaining places for our challenge events.

This is a varied role, and you will be someone who loves to multitask; you may be emailing supporters or potential fundraisers, making action plans, contacting organisations, or attending and speaking at events.

Please note that you will need to carry and set-up event materials, have access to transport and have a full, clean driving licence. We are a very small team, so you will need to have the confidence and willingness to meet with organisations and attend events on your own.

Please reflect that grit and resilience are required for this role given the remote/hybrid working, subject matter, fast-paced and flexible multi-tasking, and the need to be highly goal-oriented and results focused. If you have recently been affected by suicide, please consider carefully if this role would be right for you, as your welfare is the utmost priority, and our work may be triggering.

• Write compelling content for multiple channels, including our website, blog, social media, and press releases, tailored to diverse audiences

• Assist with administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of our fundraising team and activities

To be successful in this role, you must be:

Responsive, extremely organised, able to meet deadlines, and passionate about seeing growth and progress in your work and reaching targets and KPIs.

You will be a dynamic, socially confident person, who excels at winning hearts and minds and thrives on tangible results. You will be a creative thinker and thrive on influencing and persuading people.

For this role, you’ll need:

• Adept at all aspects of Microsoft Office

• Experience of influencing people and organisations to come on board and fundraise

• Experience of recruiting and managing volunteers

• To have initiative and creative ideas that you can put into effective action plans

• Evidence of being resilient

• A genuine passion for Grassroots Suicide Prevention’s mission and values

• Understanding of how charities work and the challenges they face

• Evidence of successful presenting and networking

Role Summary  

The role requires the use of specialist knowledge and relationship skills to influence clients with varying degrees of mental health, addiction and trauma related issues to engage with health services and other agencies across the city. This will include advocacy in registering them for medical services and accompanying them to appointments; assisting them in addressing all aspects of physical and mental health or substance addiction needs, as well as advocating or them to get access to source housing and social security benefits. Working collaboratively with our partners within the Changing Futures Multi-Disciplinary team, the role is dependent on good communication and joint working with a variety of partners and professionals.

The role requires a high degree of motivation to support clients with multiple disadvantage, often in a lone-working situation.  With a passion to work collaboratively with others for the good of our clients and with some experience of working in a related field in a voluntary or paid capacity.

A high degree of emotional intelligence is required to support clients, many of whom have complex emotional needs, with backgrounds of trauma, neglect, abuse, crime and low self-worth. A role of this nature will experience a range of emotions from joy to grief and as such requires a high degree of resilience to cope with the emotional demands of the role.

Making decisions “in the moment” to do the right thing to mitigate risk with clients can place high emotional demands on the job holder.  The role is highly reactive, unpredictable and at times, chaotic.  The role therefore requires a high degree of self-awareness to one’s own resilience levels and exercising appropriate levels of self-care.

This job description is intended as an outline indicator of general areas of activity and will be amended in light of the changing needs of Justlife. It is expected that the post holder will be as positive and flexible as possible in using this document as a framework, and in performing other duties commensurate with these responsibilities, the band of the post and skills and qualification of the post-holder.

Raystede is a unique and forward-thinking multi-species animal charity that has an exciting opportunity for a new Veterinary Nurse. This role will support Raystede in its aims to give animals a better life through rehoming, rehabilitation and sanctuary, and give people the support and knowledge they need to treat animals with care and respect. With passionate teams, a wide variety of animals, high welfare standards, and a drive to find as many animals as possible new homes, this is a fantastic opportunity not to be missed.

 As a Veterinary Nurse you will be expected to support Raystede’s clinical work in our on-site veterinary surgery and assist with the day to day running of the practice. You will build close working relationships with our expert animal care teams, and also be involved with Raystede more widely as we work to assist as many animals as possible.

 The client base is primarily internal, supporting the animals that we accept for rehoming or that live with us in sanctuary. Most interaction with animals not owned by Raystede will be with animals rehomed by us that need to return for agreed procedures or treatments, as part of our veterinary community days, or on occasions where we agree to provide emergency treatment that cannot be supported elsewhere. You will also be part of supporting animals being cared for on our Break Away scheme where we find temporary foster homes for animals belonging to people fleeing domestic abuse, or unable to find care for them due to short term hospital stays.

 The majority of the clinical workload will be in response to the needs of our most commonly rehomed species those being dogs, cats, rabbits, other small animals, and chickens. However, we do also have large numbers of chelonia, exotic birds, and other fowl on site. Experience with the more exotic species is something you will be supported in building, and we also have access to specialist external vets to assist and advise with those animals. Raystede also rehomes equines, sheep, goats, and alpaca which are currently all supported by an external large animal veterinary practice so experience with those species is not necessary for this role.

 Reporting to the Head Veterinary Surgeon a generous CPD budget is offered as development is seen as a key part of Raystede’s culture. At Raystede we live our values of being inspiring, professional, passionate, committed, and caring and compassionate.
