About The Access Project:

The Access Project is an innovative education charity that helps bright young people from disadvantaged backgrounds gain places at top universities. We support over 1,800 young people aged 14 to 18 across 35 schools.

The Access Project is expanding to become a national organisation. We work in London, the West and East Midlands, grew into West Yorkshire last year, and are expanding into the North West from September 2022. We have a team of 72 employees working in schools and in our regional offices.

A strong commitment to evidence and impact is at the heart of how we work, and we are proud that independent research shows our students achieve higher grades and are more likely to progress to top universities than similarly disadvantaged peers. We are a team passionately committed to our mission, and who support one another’s work. We are committed to improving The Access Project as a place to work for all our people and have developed a new People Strategy. We also recognise we have a way to go before we are the fully inclusive and diverse organisation we want to be, and are developing an Equity, Diversity and Inclusion strategy with support from external consultants and engagement from staff and trustees.

About the Partnerships and Communications Director role:

The Access Project has developed an innovative programme that has strong evidence that it addresses a huge social issue. We have also learned much about what it takes to shift the dial in helping disadvantaged students make it to a top university. We’re now aiming to double in scale with the aim of helping even more young people fulfil their potential and make it to a top university.

We have a loyal and committed supporter base and a demonstrably high-impact programme. We are looking for an exceptional candidate to capitalise on this to significantly accelerate our growth. Our broad mix of fundraised income (corporates, trusts and foundations, major donors, universities, and low and mid-level giving) means we are not too reliant on any one stream.

We believe there is real scope to reach more supporters and increase gift sizes in all these areas. We are in the early stages of creating a donor development board – “Friends of The Access Project” - to engage new and existing individual supporters and their networks. There is huge potential to be bolder in promoting our impact; through our website, social media and through in-person networks. As part of our work to broaden our appeal, we are seeking mission-aligned patrons who will help us to reach their followers and amplify our work. You will lead and support the Partnerships and Communications team to double our income-raising capabilities over the coming years, including by promoting the part all of us can play in helping with fundraising efforts.

About Good Law Project  

Good Law Project’s mission is to achieve change through the law. We defend, define and change the law to protect the environment, uphold democracy and ensure no one is left behind. We hold government and others to account through challenges in the courts, or through campaigning for positive change.  

We are a small and young organisation, but we have been expanding quickly, with increasingly prominent and successful legal cases: we had a primary role in overturning the prorogation of Parliament 21 months ago and have more recently been shining a bright light on the government’s award of PPE contracts and jobs to their friends and associates. We raise funds directly from the public for our work in the public interest, and operate on a not for profit basis. We are brave, honest and decisive – those are Good Law Project’s values. We recognise the value of our employees, individually and collectively.  We entrust our commitment and investment in their welfare. Together, we can make a change.

Equal Opportunity

Praxis is a vibrant human rights charity rooted in East London, providing pan-London services and contributing to national and European debate, policy and practice.  We have over 35 years’ experience of working with migrant communities. Every year we support over 2,000 people; providing expert legal advice, welfare projects and peer support. We build community, challenge exclusion and discrimination, influence policy, improve services and inspire solidarity with migrants. We played a leading role in exposing the Windrush scandal and have invested in advocacy and campaigning to achieve better outcomes for more people. We have a new Strategic Plan that sets out these ambitions.

This is an exciting time in our development and we're looking for an experienced, ambitious, dynamic Head of Fundraising and Communications to work with the Chief Executive as part of the senior leadership team.  

You will have a proven track record in securing large multi-year awards, as well as experience of developing and expanding a trust fund portfolio and individual giving. You will work with the senior team and CEO to develop and implement an income strategy to underpin our strategic plan. You will lead on internal and external communications ensuring high standards and compelling copy that demonstrates our impact, reflects our policy aims and ensures Praxis can secure the funds and deliver the changes we want to see.

With a strong background in Trust fundraising, you will have a proven ability and passion for relationship management and producing successful and well written proposals.  You will also have experience and enthusiasm to lead and oversee strategies to build our individual and corporate giving.

Income generation: the post holder will have a critical role in developing ambitious and achievable targets to match our vision for growth. In 2020/21 our income was £2.4 million; approximately 44% of this was from trusts and foundations. Our target is to increase the number of trusts that support us and substantially increase unrestricted income. In 2021 we created a new role of digital engagement manager, and you will ensure the postholder is well supported and directed to achieve a step-change in our individual giving.

We are an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourage applications from those with lived experience of migration, and from diverse applicants regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marital/civil partnership status, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, or pregnancy/maternity leave status.

Closing date: midday Monday 24th January

The role

You will be responsible for the public and professional communications of the charity, including national publicity for our work in health services development, medical research, income generation and high-profile campaigns. The role will include building our profile and engaging the public in our vision and mission and increasing their understanding of Crohn’s and Colitis. You will deliver high-quality communications activities to help us to reach the 500,000 people diagnosed with Crohn’s and Colitis in the UK, strengthening our community and ensuring that everyone who needs our help can access it. 

Working at the heart of the organisation, you will collaborate with teams across the charity to build our communications programme, increase profile, improve brand recognition and trust, generate national media coverage, harness the support of our celebrity and Ambassador supporters and deliver thought-leadership activity to influence key audiences. You will also develop and implement excellent internal processes to ensure communications and brand management is robust and consistent across the organisation.

About you

You will be a talented, experienced communications professional with the skills to gain cut-through with key audiences and inspire positive, urgent action on issues including early diagnosis, improved treatments, fundraising and profile raising.

You will bring Crohn’s & Colitis UK’s work to life through compelling storytelling and impactful activity, increasing engagement with our key audiences and supporting our ambitious 3-year strategy. You will be an excellent copy writer and enthusiastic collaborator with  experience of budgeting and financial management as well as supervising staff.

If you like the sound of this position and think you have what we are looking for then it would be great to hear from you.

The future

The charity is at a really exciting point. We are in excellent financial health and moving to a new strategy which will give you the chance to put a personal stamp on the actions we are taking to improve the quality of life for people with Crohn’s and Colitis. 

Tools for Self Reliance is a rarity amongst charities – our work genuinely transforms lives.  Every tool we send, every new skill learnt, means a person, a family, a community, benefits.  And that means every penny we raise will help transform a life.  This job isn’t for the faint hearted – it’s fast paced, busy and demanding.  Our fundraising team raises almost every penny of our income.  So, an experienced fundraiser who genuinely wants to make a difference, really will. 

You must be passionate, determined and committed to making a difference in people’s lives. You will have a strong fundraising background and leadership experience, with experience across multiple income streams. You will need the drive to build on a successful programme, chase new and untested opportunities, and achieve significant income growth.

You will be able to think outside the box and have experience of developing and putting a fundraising strategy into practice to ensure key objectives are met or exceeded. Ideally you will also understand how effective communication can drive fundraising activity and be able to integrate consistent messaging across multiple channels.

You will be able to forge excellent working relationships and be able to support and challenge your team to thrive and deliver across a diverse income portfolio to achieve ambitious targets; with an overall income target in excess of £600,000.

You will be a resilient individual and a team player able to work flexibly and at pace to get the job done.

This role is a permanent position at 0.8 FTE (30 hours per week) and based in the North West.

Please note: Your application will be assessed based on your written application answers, not your CV. Please provide as much detail as possible within the word limit.
