Consultant jobs

Background to the role

In April 2024 we launched an ambitious five-year strategy. At the same time, in acknowledgement of the fact that if we are to deliver for older people we need to change as an organisation, we began a process of internal transformation.

Across the organisation trustees, staff and volunteers are working hard together to lead Age UK East London to become more professional, more collaborative and more sustainable. We are proud of the progress we have made; 95% of staff say they would recommend us as a place to work.

This new role along with a new Governance and Executive  Support Coordinator role has been created to help us make faster progress towards achieving these transformational goals.

This appointment comes at the time of a review of our premises needs.

About the Role

The Royal West of England Academy (RWA) is proudly independent, receiving no regular public funding. We thrive thanks to the generosity of individuals, trusts and foundations, creative partners, and commercial income.

Following a major £5 million capital renovation, we’ve launched a bold new five-year plan focused on strengthening our infrastructure and deepening our public impact through both contemporary and historical exhibitions.

We’re now ready to reshape our fundraising strategy to support this next chapter, growing income from trusts and foundations, individual giving, corporate partnerships and fundraising campaigns.

You’ll have the freedom to shape the role around your strengths and experience, working closely with the Director, our part-time Relationship Manager, and a highly engaged Board and Development Committee.  Your work will be a vital part in helping us sustain a vibrant, inclusive, and creative organisation for artists and audiences in Bristol and beyond.

You might enjoy the breadth of the full role, or to specialise in one area working alongside a colleague.  We’re open to finding the work pattern that suits your skills, and life, best. 

What matters most is that you love what the RWA stands for and want to help tell our story.

What you’ll be doing

• Leading the development and delivery of a clear, ambitious fundraising strategy
• Growing our income from trusts, foundations, and individuals over a three-year period
• Stewarding our wonderful donors; managing our Commissioning Circle and Patron schemes, and supporting our Friends community
• Developing brilliant fundraising campaigns like our much-loved Secret Postcard Auction
• Leading the growth of initiatives like Art in the Workplace and legacy giving
• Leading on impact reporting and evaluation, ensuring our supporters see the difference they make
• Managing and mentoring the Relationship Manager and any consultants or freelancers
• Reporting to and working with the Director and Trustees to meet agreed targets
• Acting as a public ambassador for the RWA, its values, and its creative mission

Who we’re looking for

We’re after someone who brings:

• A proven track record in trust and foundation fundraising
• Significant success in major donor giving
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• Confidence and creativity in developing new approaches and partnerships
• Experience leading fundraising strategies and managing income streams
• An understanding of what makes donors feel valued and engaged
• The ability to think big and work flexibly — rolling up your sleeves when needed
• A love for Bristol, the arts, and the RWA’s unique place in the cultural landscape
• Experience with campaign delivery, and team management is helpful, but if you don’t tick every box, we still want to hear from you.

What we offer

• A flexible working culture; hybrid working, part-time or consultancy-based approaches welcomed
• 28 days holiday pro rata, plus public holidays
• A stunning, central Bristol workplace and a creative, passionate community
• Support from a committed team and engaged Board of Trustees
• Free Employee Assistance Programme scheme
• The chance to build a role, and a legacy, that’s truly your own

We are seeking additional experienced Associate Independent Investigating Officers (IO) for Complaints, to increase our capacity to respond to referrals from Local Authorities to provide an independent element to the formal Stage 2 investigations under the Children Act 1989.

The IO will lead investigations, and will give the complainant (who may be a child, young person or adult) the opportunity to express their view, ensure the child or young person’s rights and best interests are at the centre of the investigation and that the investigation/review process is open and transparent. They write a report on the investigation/review, which is submitted to the referring agency.

The Job Description document sets out the expectations for an Associate Independent Person for Complaints (IPC) who is approved by Coram Voice. IPCs are independent, freelance and responsible for their own work. Nevertheless, IPCs are accountable to the organisation for their professional standards and are expected to comply with Coram Voice Code of Ethics and Practice Guidelines.

Please note: the nature of associate work means that we cannot guarantee a regular amount of work, and complaints will be allocated dependent on the associate’s availability, location and the needs and demands of the individual case. Investigation work takes place Monday to Friday within working hours. This position is not suitable for applicants who already work or have commitments more than two days within the working week.
