We are a Disability Confident Employer

REDRESS is recruiting a Fundraising Assistant to oversee supporter engagement and running events, as well as provide ongoing support to proposal development and grant management. We encourage applications from candidates with experience of supporting in any of these areas, ideally at an international NGO, and with a commitment to human rights. 

Who we are

REDRESS is an international human rights organisation based in London and The Hague that pursues legal claims on behalf of survivors of torture in the UK and around the world to obtain justice and reparation for violations against their human rights. We empower survivors to access justice through human rights cases against governments, civil cases against individuals, and cases where we advocate for law enforcement bodies to prosecute perpetrators under the principle of universal jurisdiction. Our approach is strategic, so that as well as representing an individual we target the policy reasons that enabled the torture to take place, by building a campaign that uses advocacy, community engagement, and communications to influence change. Our 2025 Strategy identifies torture related to dissent and discriminatory torture as our two thematic priorities. We also support the anti-torture movement through our solidarity programme.

Sussex Community Foundation is looking for a Marketing & Communications Executive to drive engagement across our stakeholder and audience base. We are an expert local grant-maker, supporting grassroots charities across Sussex. Over the last year we have given grants totalling £4.7million to hundreds of frontline charities to support local people through the pandemic.

As well as responding in a crisis, we are there for the long term – building a sustainable source of funding for local communities for generations to come. We raise funds by providing a bespoke service to high-net-worth people and organisations, helping them to make a difference to the local causes they care about.

This is a new role and the successful post-holder will help us make our relationships with donors even stronger, inspiring them to give more by increasing their opportunities to see the impact of giving through the Foundation. You will develop the Foundation’s content marketing plans, both online and offline, to achieve the overall marketing strategy and organisation goals. This will include implementing practical campaigns to attract and inspire new and existing audiences e.g. using our compelling grant recipients’ stories, to strengthen engagement with our existing stakeholders.

Sussex Community Foundation is one of the fastest growing community foundations in the country. Our success is based on deep and trusting relationships with our donors. Trustees and ambassadors have played a key role, helping spread the word about the charity and by introducing us to potential donors and professional advisors.

The Foundation is deeply committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from people who are disabled, people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, LGBTQ people or those who have lived experience of disadvantage of any kind.
