Introduction

Organisational Background

The Council for At-Risk Academics is a UK-registered charity founded in 1933 under the leadership of William Beveridge, to rescue academics suffering persecution under the rise of Nazism and facilitate their continued work in safety. Sixteen Cara Fellows from the 1930s and 1940s became Nobel Laureates, and many more innovators in their fields, including, Nikolaus Pevsner, Lise Meitner and Karl Popper. A number of Cara’s founders and Council members also personally provided places and/or funds to help individual academics; and Cara, known in the 1930s as the AAC, later the SPSL, was closely involved in the successful effort in 1933 to bring to London the Warburg Institute art library, which had been prohibited by the Nazis, and six of its staff.

Cara has been a lifeline to academics at risk for just under 90 years, as and when world events have placed them in the line of fire: Hungarian Uprising, Cold War, Apartheid South Africa, Iran, Latin American Juntas, Vietnam, Kosovo, DRC, Rwanda, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc. and, more recently Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Myanmar and Afghanistan. Cara support is typically framed as temporary sanctuary offered at times of heightened risk.

Cara Objectives ‘To assist academics who have been, or are, or are at risk of being, subject to discrimination, persecution, suffering or violence on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, to relieve needs among them and their dependants and ensure that their specialist knowledge and abilities can continue to be used for the benefit of the public.’

‘To advance education by supporting academics and their educational institutions in countries where their continuing work is at risk or compromised, to ensure that such academics and institutions can continue to fulfil their critical role as educators for the public benefit.’

This is a critical time to join our team. As a Fellowship Programme (FLP) Assistant you will be working directly with academics facing immediate risk in Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Myanmar and Afghanistan and many other countries to undertake background checks, secure placements and identify funding opportunities. In addition, you will provide general administrative support.

Fellowship Programme Assistant Role & Responsibilities

• Process enquiries and applications for support.
• Research potential hosts for academic placements.
• Prepare cases for eligibility review – this will include arranging calls to speak with applicants, booking English language tests etc.
• Analyse data for reporting to stakeholders and donors.
• Compile media reviews.
• Provide logistics support
• Provide general office administration, including answering telephones.

Responsibilities also include related activities that might arise in relation to the Fellowship Programme as required by the Executive Director or Deputy Director/Fellowship Programme Manager.

Person specification

Essential

• Bachelor's degree (2:1 or above)
• Fluent English (spoken and written).
• Confident and empathetic with strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Excellent attention to detail. 
• Ability to work independently and in a team
• Good time management with ability to prioritise and independently work to deadlines.
• Understanding of issues of confidentiality.
• Interest in and commitment to the work of Cara
• Confident use of Microsoft Word and Excel.
• Good knowledge of current global issues.

Are you a caring person that wants to see young people with autism develop in learning life skills?

Are you patient and able to communicate to young people in a way they engage with?

Are you wanting to use your life experience to really impact someone’s life?

Due to an increasing demand for our service, we have Community Living Skills vacancies to deliver a range of services to students with a learning disability and/or autism. Within the Equip Project, you will support young people, aged 16 - 23, to meet the outcomes on their Education, Health & Care Plans (EHCP).

To succeed you will be able to work both as part of a team and independently and have a 'can do' attitude. You will need to have good communication skills and an understanding of both self-advocacy and inclusion. We can teach you all you need to know; you just need to have the passion and care.

You will have the opportunity to help someone develop and grow as a person whilst making a difference that will live with you forever. And, as one of our team said, ‘Working with people with a learning disability or autism is the most rewarding and fulfilling role I have ever had.’

Closing date: 5th November

Job title: Team Coordinator and Executive Assistant

Working hours: 28 hours per week

Salary: £24,000 a year (this is equivalent to a full-time salary of £30,000 a year)

Who we are?

At London Funders we are at the heart of a great network of over 170 member organisations, focused on funding in London.  This includes every local authority in London, City Hall, independent Trusts and Foundations, businesses, social investment organisations and more. Together, our members invest hundreds of millions of pounds every year in civil society through all aspects of London’s life, from arts through to welfare, so that people across our communities can live better lives.  We’re the place where funders come together to connect and collaborate, where ideas are generated and acted on, and where people work to ensure that resources are channelled to the right places.

What are we looking for?

The Team Coordinator and Executive Assistant role is the glue in the team, who can make things happen and help us to deliver our work to a standard we can all be proud of.  This role is crucial to us in ensuring that everything runs smoothly – from being the friendly first point of contact for the team, helping to manage our diaries so we use our time effectively, and keeping the office running, through to organising the logistics of our events and supporting our work with our members so that we continue to deliver what’s needed for London.

You’ll bring your skills and experience at effective office administration to help run our systems – from using programs you’ll be familiar with (Microsoft Office software), to others that might be new to you (including Salesforce and QuickBooks) where we can provide you with training and support to use them effectively.  Your excellent communication and interpersonal skills will help you to work as part of our small team, as well as with the colleagues in our member organisations you’ll be meeting at our events.  You’ll soon find that no two days are the same, so whilst some elements of the job will be fairly routine (from diary management to taking minutes at meetings), you’ll also thrive on the variety of things you can get involved in, using your prioritisation skills to help you stay focused on achieving great things as part of our friendly team. 

How to apply?

The deadline for getting your application to us is 12pm (midday) on Friday 22 October 2021 – we’ll be shortlisting that day, and if you’re selected for interview we’ll invite you in to see us on either Tuesday 26 or Wednesday 27 October 2021. When you meet us we’ll ask you to do a short test (of your computer and prioritisation skills, you won’t need to prepare in advance for this), and we’ll then have an interview with you which will also include some time for you to ask us any questions.

When you’re ready, send your CV, covering letter and diversity monitoring form as outlined in the application pack. We look forward to hearing from you!

For over 50 years, Designability has designed and provided products that have enabled disabled people to live with greater independence. We are currently seeking a highly motivated, experienced fundraiser to join our team to develop and grow income from Charitable Trust and Major Donor income streams, through the development of new and existing relationships. This is a fantastic opportunity for a fundraiser with proven experience in Trusts fundraising to join our dynamic team at an exciting time of growth across our charity; and to make a meaningful difference through our work supporting disabled people to live with greater independence.

You will have proven experience of:

• Securing income from Trusts and Foundations, as well as individual Major Donors in a donor facing role.
• Proven track record of securing four to six figure gifts, and of building strong relationships with new and existing donors and prospects.
• Producing compelling proposals, funding applications, reports and presentations as required to demonstrate a case for support or meet grant criteria.
• Researching, identifying and successfully managing a new pipeline of donor prospects.

You will be joining an independent, national charity based in Bath. Our team of talented designers and engineers create innovative new products which have helped hundreds of thousands of people with their day to day challenges. We are best known now for Wizzybug, our powered wheelchair which helps young disabled children move and play independently for often the first time in their lives. Families loan one from us for free thanks to the generous support of our donors.

We create our innovative products by being experts in user-centred design – put simply, this means that it is disabled people who drive our innovation strategy, and it is their needs and views make our products unique.

Our creative and inspiring team includes engineers, technicians, product designers, occupational therapists, fundraisers and administrators. We are led by strong values: we are creative, inclusive and practical, with our vision being to create a future where every disabled person has the products they want to live the life they choose.

We are really proud that we were awarded second place in the ‘Best Charities to Work For 2020’ list by Third Sector which is a reflection of our team highly rating the fact that we encourage activities that create strong teams and foster good personal relationships. Our staff also stated their confidence in Designability’s leadership and strategic planning.

The University of Bath provide us with recruitment support and applications are made through the University of Bath jobs website. We choose to follow many of the University of Bath’s human resources policies. However, Designability is a fully independent charity and our staff contracts are not with the University.

Charity: Beyond Carnism
Role: Fundraising and Development Manager (Trusts & Major Donor)

Salary: up to £40k / $54k / €47k
Contract: Full-time, or part-time (lots of flexibility, to secure the perfect person)
Location: Remote, anywhere globally

Deadline: Sunday 24th October 2021

The Charity

In line with UN sustainable development goals, the world needs to reduce its meat and dairy consumption by 50% by 2040, if we want the planet to remain inhabitable. Huge amounts of resource and effort are already going into the development of plant-based proteins, reshaping global food systems and rethinking modern farming techniques.

But an important and often overlooked piece of the puzzle is taking the global population on that journey. We need to win hearts and minds, convince people of the need for change, if we’re going to affect substantial change in the time available.

In steps Dr Melanie Joy, internationally respected psychologist and award-winning author, with her theory of Carnism. I would definitely recommend reading their website for a full explanation of it, but in basic terms it is about helping people see that their dietary choices are a result of a belief system and not objective fact. It isn’t true that eating animal products is normality, with vegetarianism and veganism being aberrations, both are conscious choices.

It isn’t logically coherent that we can justify the eating of some animals and not others, or that which animals are and are not acceptable to eat varies so wildly around the world. Until people are fully aware of the choices they’re making, they can’t truly exercise their free will in these choices.

For an engaging introduction to their theory, I would recommend taking a look at this mesmerising video: https://youtu.be/XumGZk_LPX8

This isn’t about brow-beating meat eaters, but about getting us all on the same page in finding pragmatic solutions to some of the most serious problems being faced by our species.

The Role

After a number of years of incremental growth, the charity has substantially grown from $400k - $600k over the past 2 years – fuelled by the release of a number of best-selling books, increased campaigning and exposure, and an explosion in donor interest.

This role will be focused on continuing to build fruitful relationships with their existing donor base and building from that platform to secure sustainable growth into the future. Their donor profile is predominantly HNWI, with some foundation and mid-level giving as well. The lion’s share of future growth is likely to come from their major donor programme, but they are looking for someone who can think creatively about the funding mix and who will be given the autonomy to explore different opportunities.

What we’re looking for

• A passion for animal welfare and climate change.
• Experience in growing a major donor portfolio.
• Experience of managing a varied funding mix.
• A first-class communicator, with a passion for writing and an eye for detail.

If you’re finding your interest sufficiently piqued, please do fire over a current CV and let’s find some time to discuss the role in a little more detail.

I’ll end this advert by saying that I personally think the team over at Beyond Carnism are incredible. They are such a delight to work with and their culture is so inclusive, friendly and supportive that I know you would love them if you met them.

We are a 'flexible working' employer with a passion for safeguarding. We welcome applications from candidates independent of the church, as this role does not carry a Genuine Occupational Requirement to be a Christian or person of faith.

A small but passionate team who believe that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and is at the heart of all that we do.  We are on a journey, taking all possible steps to ensure that our churches and worshipping communities are truly a place where all are safe and can flourish. 

The Diocesan Safeguarding team, play a key role in promoting a culture of safeguarding across the Diocese of Guildford through communications, management of incidents and cases, training and DBS activity. 

The primary purpose of the Safeguarding Caseworker role is to assist the safeguarding case work in parishes and safeguarding agreement reviews as directed by the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor. Casework will often involve investigation and on occasions the interview of complainants and respondents. The role also includes providing advice and assistance to parishes on safeguarding issues, cases and incidents, ensuring that all advice is in line with the law, government guidance and the Church of England safeguarding policies and practice guidance. For this reason, we are particularly keen to meet with you if you are an omnicompetent applicant with broad experience including exposure to working with victims/ survivors and with those whose behaviours pose a risk.

The role is a busy and varied one, in which every day is different. It is for 21 - 28 hours per week (negotiable) with some out of hours support and will require travelling around the diocese to support parishes and their teams. We have a flexible working policy and can accommodate home working for a proportion of the week.

The salary is £33 – 35K per annum full time equivalent, and there is a very generous non-contributory pension scheme.

The full details including job description and person specification can be found in the application pack on our website, and for an informal discussion about this role, please do not hesitate to contact Jane Huttly, Safeguarding Manager whose details can be found in the application pack. 

Your application should consist of a completed application form and supporting statement (no more than two sides of A4) detailing your reasons for applying, what you can bring to the post and how you meet its requirements.

The closing date for receipt of applications is Midnight on 31 October 2021 for full details of where to pick up the application form and where to send it into, please follow the link to our website.
