Co-Head of Grants Partnerships

We are seeking a Co-Head to lead our successful and talented grants team, which is currently on track to raise just under £5 million in 2020.

Children never belong in orphanages. Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs -someone to love them.

The vast majority of children in orphanages aren’t orphans at all -80% of the 8 million children confined to orphanages have at least one living parent or close relative who could care for them with the right support. And for children without family, there is always a better option than an orphanage.

Position: Co-Head of Grants Partnerships
Location: Flexible
Job type: Flexible, Fixed Term Contract Maternity Cover
Hours: 22.5 to 37.5 hours per week
Salary: £44,000 - £51,000, depending on experience, pro-rata for part-time hours

About the role:

As Co-Head of Grants Partnerships (job share) you will play a key role in leading this high performing team to meet the team income target while building long term pipeline for the future. You will also play a significant role within our Marketing, Communications and Fundraising leadership team ensuring the integration and alignment of the Grants Team strategy and plans within the wider fundraising strategy and across the wider organisation.

About you:

To be successful in this role, you will be able to lead and inspire a team of fundraisers, have excellent written and verbal communication skills, a can-do and collaborative working approach and a genuine passion for our work. You will also need to be self-aware, flexible, highly organised and able to thrive within a culture which is solution-orientated, agile and has integrity, courage and excellence at its heart. This role is a job share and so the successful candidate will also be able to demonstrate strong ability to work closely with a co-head to achieve shared priorities.

About Hope and Homes for Children:

Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone who will always look out for them. Children never belong in orphanages. Orphanages don’t protect children they harm them. With your support we can keep families together, reunite families and build new families. Help children grow up in families where they belong. Always families. Never orphanages.

Hope and Homes for Children actively encourages equality and diversity and we look to recruit across age, gender, ethnicity and background as we believe diversity brings us closer to our mission of eliminating orphanages.

Central London - Flexible working options available

Circa £50,000 per annum

Permanent, Full Time (35 hours per week)

Are you passionate about gender equality? Do you recognise the value of sport for personal development and society?  Do you want to make a difference?

Our client exists because they believe it is wrong for girls and women to be denied the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport. And yet still so many are, even here in the UK. Gender stereotypes, concerns about body image, limited opportunities and social norms at home mean that at every life stage, women are still less active than men and less likely to play sport. Too many women and girls are missing out on feeling happy and confident in their bodies, on the companionship, exhilaration and liberation of simply playing and forgetting day-to-day stresses. Women from disadvantaged communities and women of colour are missing out most of all.

Our client is determined to change this and is looking for a dynamic senior manager to help lead their work with the sports and social sectors and government to achieve real and lasting change through inspiration, influence and expertise. They need someone passionate about improving the lives of girls and women at every stage in life. They need someone who shares their beliefs, understands their vision and is able to bring real credibility to their cause.

They are the longest established charity in this space and it is at an exciting point in its development. Under new leadership at a time of global crisis which is highlighting the scale of inequality in their society, breaking down the barriers to change has never been more possible and vital.

As their Head of Policy, Partnership and Public Affairs you will report to the CEO and work closely with her and the wider team. You will have an outward looking role, focused on building external relationships and inspiring and influencing key decision-makers. You will establish strong relations with key allies, lead our commissioned services to the sector, develop policy, and advocate change to address the inequalities women and girls face in relation to sport.

They value the quality and diversity of thought possible from a team made up of individuals from a broad range of backgrounds, who can each bring their different experiences and perspectives. For this reason, they encourage applications from men as well as women and would particularly welcome applications from people of colour and a wide variety of ethnic or minority backgrounds, sexual orientation, religion, age and impairment. They are committed to a working culture where everyone can be authentic and true to themselves - a culture of belonging for everyone, where diversity is valued for the richness it brings to all aspects of their work, to their quality of thought leadership and to their interactions with all people. 

Main responsibilities are:

• Develop policy and practice for gender equity in sport
• Lead on their strategic partnerships and commissioned work portfolio
• Build their advocacy and coalition work
• Identify and, where relevant, pilot solutions that better include girls and women in sport
• Provide leadership for the charity and line management support for relevant team members

What they’re looking for from you:

• Knowledge of the sports sector, ideally gained by being part of the system, working within a national governing body, relevant part of government or sport for development sector. 
• Understanding of the headline political, cultural and social determinants of gender equality as this affects women and girls from different backgrounds and cultures.
• Knowledge of how private sector businesses, government agencies and charities operate, and what makes for good business, effective impact reporting and value for money.
• A passionate belief in the ability of sport to transform lives and the need to address the current inequalities in access to the joy, fulfilment and lifelong benefits of sport.
• A passion for diversity and an understanding of the strength diversity contributes to an organisation
• An optimistic and authentic leader and an empowering manager able to get the best out of people.

Please click apply to see the job description for a full list of responsibilities and the criteria required for this role. 

What they can offer you:

• Annual leave: 25 days, plus Bank Holidays
• Pension: An auto enrollment pension, with matched contributions starting at 3% of your salary
• Flexibility: They have a range of options for flexible working and they’d be happy to discuss your needs at the interview stage
• Annual Healthy Living Allowance of £250 

Come and be part of their small but ground-breaking charity, in the high profile and fast-moving arena of women’s sport with plenty of scope to make your mark on the cause!
