The Green House is the only specialist service across BNSSG and BANES supporting children, young people, and families who have experienced sexual abuse.
Our distinct approach is: 1. Evidence-based, guided by research and best practices. 2. Led by the voices of young people and their families. 3. Centred on community and connection. 4. Focused on the transformational power of the creative arts. In 2022, we transitioned from a single therapy option to a whole family, community-based model which provides a more accessible and comprehensive approach to support, whilst reducing wait times by 63%. Though we deliver a local service, our work is influencing the national response to child sexual abuse. We provide national training on pre-trial therapy and survivor-led leadership programmes.

At Impact on Urban Health, we develop programmes that demonstrate the power of long-term approaches to complex health issues in urban environments. We focus our efforts on the London boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark, working in partnership with residents, local and national government, and community and private sector partners to improve the health of local residents. By doing this, we aim to influence others in the UK and internationally to create better health.
A Portfolio Manager builds part of a programme strategy, co-develops projects with partners, and makes recommendations for funding these projects. This is a supported process, with lots of input and ideas shared across the team as you shape your projects. We build partnerships with a wide range of partners, from local communities, businesses, charities, the public sector and any other person or organisation that we think can have an impact on heath equity.
This role, which is a 6 month fixed term contract, will sit within the Health Effects of Air Pollution programme. Air pollution is the greatest environmental risk to health, particularly in urban areas like Lambeth and Southwark. Air pollution doesn’t affect everyone equally; it disproportionately prevents racialised and people living on low incomes from living healthy and happy lives. Our vision is a healthier world where everyone breathes clean air. To achieve this, we fund solutions to reduce the impact of air pollution by working with a diverse range of partners across Lambeth and Southwark and we work with decision makers to advocate for clean air. We are dedicated to reducing air pollution in a way that has the deepest impact on improving health equity in urban areas. Therefore, we believe efforts to reduce air pollution must be targeted to benefit those people who are most affected by it and we use what we learn to influence others to take a similar, equitable approach.
This role will be leading the Amplifying Voices strand of the programme. This strand works with communities to amplify the voices of people who are most affected by air pollution. To that end, we work in partnership with organisations like LIVE+BREATHE, Global Child Maternal Health, and the Ella Roberta Family Foundation.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead on strategy delivery for the Amplifying Voices strand of the Health Effects of Air Pollution programme.
- Lead the funding partnership lifecycle from idea through development, decision, contracting, management to exit. This includes:
- Bringing projects and partnerships through our internal funding decision-making process, working closely with partner organisations to co-develop these

- Working with our evaluation team and external evaluation experts to develop and deliver evaluation plans for projects and partnerships
- Assisting organisational development of partners, through commissioning grants plus support
- Driving an inclusive/non-extractive due diligence process
- Plan and deliver ways to scale solutions and grow impact through influencing, in collaboration with community partners and internal teams across the organisation, such as policy and influencing, communications, and evidence and impact. This includes:
- Building diverse, cross-sector partnerships
- Convening and supporting community partners to collaborate and influence policy and decision-makers
- Deliver thought leadership for your area of focus to influence relevant stakeholders, e.g. blog writing, attending and speaking at events
Role responsibilities are not exhaustive, and you would be reasonably expected to take on wider tasks that are commensurate with the level of your role.
Skills, abilities, and attributes:
- An ability to work with community-centred and racial justice-focused organisations in alignment with a wider strategy
- Comfortable working independently in uncertainty on issues that are complex in nature and don’t have silver bullet solutions

The King’s community is dedicated to the service of society. King’s Strategic Vision 2029 sets out our vision for the future, shaped around five priority areas: educate to inspire and improve; research to inform and innovate; serve to shape and transform; a civic university at the heart of London; and an international community that services the world. Our ambitious Education Strategy sets out the actions that we must take to transform how we teach, how and where our students learn and how we support them during their time with us.

As a directorate we manage the student lifecycle from application to graduation and beyond, to ensure a coherent and seamless student experience and effective administrative processes, working closely with King’s faculties to do so.
About the role
As part of our mission to break down barriers to university access and address wider educational inequalities, the Social Mobility & Widening Participation (SMWP) department has developed a dedicated strand of place-based outreach.

Using community organising methodology, the postholder will lead and expand our core place-based programmes: Parent Power South London and Empoderando Familias, delivered with South London Citizens, and EmpowerESOL, facilitated in collaboration with internal King’s teams. A key focus will also be the strategic growth of our flagship Parent Power programme into new regions, in partnership with The Brilliant Club. This initiative empowers parents and carers to engage actively in their children’s education while building networks of community organisers who drive change locally and nationally.
At the heart of this role is a commitment to collaboration and community, both external and internal, as powerful drivers of social impact. The postholder will also support and develop the WP Champions Network, a university-wide staff community passionate about social mobility. By curating resources, delivering training, and shaping its strategic vision, they will help embed widening participation across King’s, amplifying its impact within and beyond the university.
This is a full-time role (35 hours per week) offered on an indefinite contract.

University of Oxford
Location: Oxford, UK with hybrid working options
Permanent and full-time role
Salary: Grade 8: £49,119 to £58,265 per annum, with a possible extension to £65,336
The University of Oxford aims to lead the world in research and education for the benefit of society both in the UK and globally. Philanthropy plays a critical role in enabling Oxford to maintain and build on its status as a world-class centre of learning. The University has been successful in raising funds from a broad, international range of donors, whose transformational gifts have made a number of important and globally-impacting projects possible.
The Department of Chemistry is a world-leading centre of research and teaching, and sits within the broader Mathematical, Physical & Life Sciences (MPLS) Division of the University. The mission of Oxford Chemistry is to advance the global understanding of Chemistry and to use that knowledge to address major challenges for society.
Recent research breakthroughs in Oxford Chemistry have been groundbreaking. These include a new diagnostic breath test for early lung disease; a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for Oxford alumnus Professor Richard Robson for inventing metal-organic frameworks to store gases and purify water; the mechanochemical recycling of ‘forever chemicals’ into a valuable raw material; and the discovery into how cells sense and absorb oxygen guiding the development of new medicines for cancer, anaemia, and heart disease.
This is an exciting time to join our Development team and to work specifically with the Department of Chemistry. The role of Senior Development Executive – Chemistry is a critical one in enabling Oxford to empower the world’s greatest minds to work on new and emerging research challenges, at the same time as training the leaders of tomorrow in the field of Chemistry.

You will have the support of excellent colleagues across the sciences at Oxford as well as the wider Development & Alumni Engagement office.
About you
You are an experienced philanthropic fundraiser with a strong track record of securing major gifts, a confident approach and the ability to think creatively. Your ability to build rapport and relationships swiftly will enable you to lead on major gift fundraising (securing donations of £100k-£1m+), working with a range of donors (corporates, trusts and individuals). Your ability to establish credibility and foster trust across a wide range of internal and external stakeholders will be key to your success. A professional background or personal interest in STEM will be important although you do not need to be a Chemistry or sciences graduate: we are looking for an enthusiast for knowledge!
What We Offer
Your happiness and wellbeing at work matters to us, so we offer a range of family friendly and financial benefits including:
· Flexible hybrid working
· An excellent contributory pension scheme
· 38 days annual leave
· Membership to CASE
· Training and development opportunities
· A comprehensive range of childcare services
