A powerful campaigning organisation, Brain Tumour Research is the leading voice of the brain tumour community in the UK. Unique and much needed, we are the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. Our work focuses on campaigning to increase the national investment in research into brain tumours to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence, across the UK.

​

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.  All of us at Brain Tumour Research are passionate about finding a cure for this devastating disease.  

​

Job Purpose:

This is a new role to transform our current “Supporter Care” team into one that leads our Individual Giving programme. At present the team is focused on thanking donors for gifts to our charity and supporters for undertaking challenges and events as well as organising our lab tours and tiles programme. The introduction of a major automation project in the charity will reduce this team’s workload whilst at the same time decreasing the amount of time taken to thank donors and supporters. Once that project is fully implemented we want this team to expand its remit to include a wider programme of proactively supporting our donors and supporters throughout their journey with the charity and thus to increase the amount raised through these channels.

​

This job will be a challenging one with a changing focus. The initial focus is very much process-driven – bedding in the automation and getting all of our processes humming so that everyone is thanked within one working week of their donation, but once that’s done the focus needs to move to both wider care of our supporters and growth of the income channel.

​

Reports to:

Director of Finance and Operations

· Flexible in your approach to work, embracing change and development.

​

Desirable:

· Experience in running a individual giving programme.

· Experience of working with members of the public, especially those who may be going through current or recent traumatic experiences.

Main duties:

· To be the owner of all thanking processes so that every supporter and donor receives an appropriate thank you withing one working week of their donation or the end of their fundraising activity.

· To embed the new processes from our automation solution, recommending changes that are required and adapting other processes to ensure the most efficient overall system for all team members involved in thanking.

· To support and develop your direct reports so that they are working efficiently and effectively and have a rewarding role at the charity. To conduct regular 1-1s with them as well as quarterly reviews and annual appraisals.

· Ensure accurate recording of all processes and outputs from the team – primarily on our CRM database.

· To ensure that our Lab Tour and Tiles process is run effectively and efficiently. This process is managed by a member of the team, but remains the responsibility of the team manager.

· To develop our understanding of the data relating to our individual giving and to recommend

· To develop additional ways of valuing our supporters and donors through their journey with us (cards, phone calls etc).

· To develop additional ways of generating income from our individual donors (appeals etc).

· Deputise for colleagues as necessary to ensure that your team’s activities continue during periods of leave/absence.

· To comply with Brain Tumour Research’s internal policies, comply with relevant charity and other legislation and to undertake any other reasonable duties as required.

Please see our Recruitment Pack for further details​​​

We reserve the right to close the application window early and advise candidates to apply in good time to avoid disappointment.

Job Information:

This exciting new role in our award-winning External Affairs Department will fight for the hospice sector and people who need their care and support.

This is a critical time for hospice and end of life care. Hospices across the UK are in the worst financial situation they have faced for 20 years. The funding crisis means hospices are cutting services and making redundancies.

But this is also a time of significant political opportunity. The Assisted Dying Bill has placed palliative care firmly on the agenda. We have recently secured £100m of emergency funding for the sector in England and the 10-year health plan has identified hospices as central to the shift from hospital to community. 

To seize this once in a generation opportunity, we are expanding our UK-wide policy and public affairs team from six to eight, including a new Policy and Public Affairs Manager. 

We are looking for a proactive and driven policy and public affairs professional with excellent influencing and communication skills. You will have your finger on the pulse and have strong policy and political knowledge that enables you to quickly understand and analyse the impact of external developments. 

You will be curious about how best to improve people’s experiences of death, dying and bereavement and strengthen the contribution of the hospice sector to this. As well as collaborative and committed to building coalitions to maximise our impact. 

You will provide leadership but must also be willing to pitch in at all levels to get things done. Excellent project management skills will mean you can identify where our resource is best spent and how to delegate tasks. This exciting new role in our award-winning External Affairs Department will fight for the hospice sector and people who need their care and support.

You will personally lead an impressive and wide ranging portfolio of work. This includes leading the charge on securing long-reform of the way hospices are funded in England and taking the next steps in our UK-wide policy and public affairs work on access to palliative and end of life care for people living in financial hardship. You will also line manage a new Policy and Public Affairs Assistant who will be supporting our team across all four nations of the UK.

This is your chance to play a key role in creating a country where no one misses out on the care they need at the end of their lives. For more information, refer to our candidate information pack.

We’re an award-winning charity running local learning centres in the heart of the communities where the young people we support live. Our centres provide a high-impact education programme which includes practical learning support, pastoral care, and motivational and confidence-building activities for young people aged 7-18. Our aim is to enable students from the least advantaged neighbourhoods to realise their ambitions and achieve their wonderful potential.

As the UK’s leading university access organisation,
our staff team is helping 56,000 young people each year at its 44 learning centres and extension projects across England and Scotland, and we plan to scale-up our provision to 50 centres over the coming years.

We are looking for a high-calibre candidate to take on the role of Regional Operations Manager for our centres in South London (Walworth, Kennington and Brixton) along with our centres in Southampton and Brighton.

As a Regional Operations Manager you will line manage the Centre Leaders in your region to ensure that centres are working effectively, that the high quality of programme delivery to young people is maintained across the cluster, and that targets are monitored and met. 

And of course, you will need to have a genuine passion and enthusiasm for working with young people and helping them achieve their ambitions.
