Why work for us?

At CARE International UK (CIUK), we fight global poverty and deliver lasting change in some of the world’s most challenging contexts. To do this effectively, we must uphold the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and accountability.

Joining us means being part of a mission-driven organisation where your skills directly protect our reputation, financial sustainability, and ability to create impact. You’ll work with passionate colleagues across the globe, enjoy a supportive hybrid working culture, and have opportunities to grow and develop professionally while contributing to meaningful change.

About you

You’re a compliance or risk professional who thrives on tackling complexity and finding solutions. With proven knowledge of UK charity law, GDPR, anti-financial crime legislation, and fundraising compliance, you’re confident advising on governance and regulatory matters at all levels.

You combine sharp analytical skills with the ability to explain complex regulations simply. Integrity, independence, and attention to detail come naturally to you, and you can build strong working relationships across teams and cultures. Experience in the charity or international development sector is a strong advantage, as is a genuine commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

About the role

As our Compliance Specialist, you will play a central role in ensuring that CIUK operates with integrity and confidence in a complex global environment. Reporting to the Risk and Internal Audit Manager, you will be the organisation’s lead expert on compliance — from charity law and fundraising regulations to data protection and anti-financial crime measures.

This is both a strategic and hands-on position. You will advise senior leaders and trustees on regulatory obligations while working closely with teams across the organisation to embed a proactive culture of compliance. Your work will span everything from guiding fundraising campaigns to meet regulatory standards, to coordinating due diligence on international partners, to leading the organisational response to compliance incidents.

You will also shape and strengthen our internal frameworks by overseeing whistleblowing processes, leading investigations, and ensuring that policies, training, and reporting mechanisms remain robust and effective. At the same time, you will monitor emerging regulatory developments so that CIUK is always prepared for change and positioned to meet new challenges with confidence. This is a varied, influential, and rewarding role that ensures we remain a trusted partner to donors, regulators, and communities worldwide.

Education Quality Coordinator (x2)

Location: Hybrid (London)
Contract type: Permanent
Hours: 35 hours a week
Salary: £31,883.05

Due to increased investment from the university we’re really excited to announce the recruitment for the role of Education Quality Coordinators.

Who we are

Part business, part charity, part membership body – students’ unions are all seriously fun places to work. They are organisations in their own right. Professionally run, but different. Professional teams support elected student leaders to make change, improve lives and fulfill potential; we help make it happen.

About the job

We're looking for two Education Quality Coordinator's to help make sure students' academic voices are heard loud and clear. You'll work closely with UAL staff and student leaders to deliver course-based initiatives, opportunities and events that make a real difference to the experience of our students. A big part of your role will be the annual cycle of recruiting, training and support course and school reps so they feel confident and capable in representing their peers. You'll work with students to collect and share feedback, run academic campaigns and help shape positive changes to courses across UAL. You'll also keep track of key data, and support targeted engagement initiatives, and make sure students feel a genuine sense of belonging through their academic journey. It's a hands-on role where relationship building and problem solving go hand in hand.

Who we are looking for ?

We want individuals who are organised, approachable, and love working with people. You should be comfortable building relationships with a wide range of students and staff, and able to explain processes clearly and simply. Experience in education, community development, or a similar role is a big plus - especially if you've delivered training or organised events before. You'll need strong data skills, from keeping accurate stats to analysing feedback and turning this into action. Being flexible, proactive and good at juggling projects will help you thrive. Most importantly, you'll care about creating inclusive, welcoming spaces where every student feels included, heard and that they can contribute.

Why apply?

Because you’re excited by the challenge! The exact opposite of corporate, we’re progressive, daring and creative individuals working to make a difference in unconventional workplaces.

Benefits and Perks

In return for your passion and experience, we offer:

• a summer 4-day working week - we have a four day working week during the months of July & August
• Generous holiday entitlement (up to 39 days) - 25 days holidays per year, increasing at the rate of one day per full year served after the end of your second year of employment up to a maximum of 5 days
• A three-week closure during the festive period incorporating the three UK bank holidays (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Day). This is approximately 12 additional leave days.
• A six-day closure during spring incorporating the two UK bank holidays (Good Friday and Easter Monday). Therefore, closure dates are from Thursday before Good Friday to Tuesday after Bank Holiday Monday. These are 2 additional leave days.
• Birthday Leave
• 2 days of Volunteering Leave

How we recruit

We want to ensure all systems, policies and processes are free from bias or discrimination and are fair and accessible, therefore we ask that all candidates complete our Application Process in two stages:

Part 1 (Application Form) is all about you telling us about your suitability for the role and will be used to determine if you are shortlisted for interview.

Part 2 (Equal Opportunities Monitoring and Contact Form) is personal information – so we can contact you if you are shortlisted for the interview. It also helps us gather and analyse demographic information about our applicants. This part will only be seen by HR and will not have any impact on shortlisting.

Application forms are formatted to ensure the equality monitoring data is removed before applications are seen by the shortlisting panel. This process allows us to ensure that the shortlisting is done in a fair and consistent manner and all applicants are given the same opportunity to demonstrate their abilities.
