About the organisation 

CARAS is a dynamic and exciting charity offering holistic support to refugees and people seeking asylum. We pride ourselves on coupling the expertise of our staff team with strong values that mean we always place the voices, needs and wants of our group members at the heart of all that we do. We know that this is a transformative way of working. Our Strategy, Monitoring Framework and Values were all written with full participation from our group members. 

Our Values are: 

Kindness. CARAS will nurture all who are part of our community, helping everyone to develop their skills, talents and interests. 

Justice. CARAS will strive for social justice following a rights-based approach in all of our work and challenging instances when rights are not upheld in wider society. 

Empowerment. CARAS works alongside people, recognising and respecting their skills and strengths and striving together for better outcomes. 

‘With’ not ‘for’. CARAS will put the voices, opinions, experiences and needs of its community members at the heart of all that we do. 

CARAS is a thriving organisation with a highly motivated, friendly and experienced staff team, bolstered by the generous support of equally skilled volunteers and trustees who come from many walks of life.

They will line management a full-time fundraiser who specialises in individual giving while the Senior Fundraiser for Trusts and Foundations will lead on grant writing. 

In the last 5 years, CARAS has had huge success, more than trebling our income and enabling us to expand our staff team and therefore our reach. We are a highly impactful organisation that is often looked to for our insight in the sector. We have an ambitious three-year strategy, co-produced with group members, staff, volunteers, trustees and partner organisations, that will launch in September 2025 and guide our current work.

We are seeking applicants who want to be at the forefront of change, striving to improve the rights, entitlements and day-to-day experiences of refugees and people seeking asylum. You will need to be able to show how your skills and experiences fit the role, as well as possessing a drive for social change in support of under-served people. Within this role, you will have scope to shape and secure the future of CARAS.

You will be supported in a variety of ways, including by an expert team of staff around you who will collaborate with you and work together as needed; a highly professional Board of Trustees who you will work with at key points throughout the year and who are available for consultation and advice as needed; robust and effective systems; and a network of organisations and funders who share CARAS’ goals. Additionally, you will have regular and detailed supervision with your line manager, and you can access our Employee Assistance Programme at any time. 

This opportunity comes at a very exciting time. CARAS has been piloting a 4 day week from since the 1st of January 2025, meaning that all staff work 20% less time for 100% pay. Full time employees reduced their hours to 4 days per week. We have seen this be a huge boost to staff wellbeing and will become part of our commitment to care for staff as well as our community members.

We are also preparing for a future in which CARAS continues to grow, mature and develop, standing as a highly respected, impactful organisation with a £1million income by 2028.

About Tommy’s
Tommy’s is the UK’s leading pregnancy research charity. For over 30 years, we’ve worked to stop the heartbreak and devastation of baby loss and to make pregnancy and birth safe—for everyone. Founded by two obstetricians in a hospital cupboard, we have grown into the largest UK charity funder of pregnancy research, shaping national guidelines, funding pioneering clinics, and supporting families at every stage of their journey.
Our mission is simple but ambitious: to save babies’ lives. We do this through world-leading research, expert information, partnerships with the NHS, and campaigning for policy change. Every year we fund four major research centres, provide trusted pregnancy support to thousands, and lead campaigns that challenge inequities in maternity care.
The next stage of our journey is about driving even greater impact. We are focused on four priorities:

• Growing evidence, because baby loss is not inevitable.
• Improving care, so everyone receives the support they deserve.
• Tackling inequalities, because all families deserve the same chance of a healthy pregnancy.
• Mobilising for change, to make pregnancy safer nationwide.

• Strong technical knowledge of finance operations, governance, and compliance, ideally within the charity sector.
• Proven ability to lead and develop teams, and to build collaborative relationships across an organisation.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to translate financial information for non-finance colleagues.
• A proactive and solutions-focused mindset, with experience of leading change.

Why Join Tommy’s?
At Tommy’s, you’ll be part of a mission-driven organisation that puts people first—our beneficiaries, supporters, and staff. We are proud to offer a culture that values wellbeing, development and balance, with a wide range of benefits including:
