Unlocked Graduates is an award-winning organisation that aims to change the way we develop society’s future leaders, as well as how we think about prisons and prisoners by focusing on rehabilitation, and addressing the damage and cost of reoffending.

At the core of Unlocked Graduates is a new leadership programme, funded by HMPPS and our charitable supporters, that will get top graduates into prisons working as frontline prison officers for two years. The project grew out of a recommendation in the Coates’ Review of prison education.

Our participants are asked to focus on rehabilitation and breaking cycles of re-offending to give second chances to those who lacked opportunities earlier in life. This work will form part of their studies for a master’s degree which they will complete while taking on the full duties of a frontline prison officer. At the end of the programme they will be asked to develop policy ideas that they think have the potential to influence systemic change.

We want the programme to raise the status of a currently invisible and undervalued public service by attracting a different kind of leader to work in prisons and help identify ways to reform the prison system, reduce re-offending and improve rehabilitation. We also want our participants to consider entering other professions and sectors at the end of the two years and are building corporate relationships to offer such opportunities.

We are looking for an outstanding individual who can work with a significant budget and a small, talented team to deliver training, events and opportunities that are on a par with leading graduate programmes.

Reporting to the Head of Delivery, the Programme and Events Manager will work across the full breadth of programme delivery as well as taking a leading role in the planning and delivery of events.

You will act as the “glue” that holds the programme team together: Managing and monitoring the project plan and budget, ensuring milestones are being met, and coordinating across the organisation to maximise efficiency and ensure an efficient joined up approach.

The key event deliverable is the annual Summer Institute – a seven-week training programme with regional and national residential elements. This includes complex timetabling of training; management of over 30 external organisations and speakers; logistical, accommodation and catering arrangements; and staff support planning. You will work closely with student accommodation providers, universities and event spaces. You will also lead on delivering other events including our annual conference, lecture days and graduation ceremony.

Closing date: Midday on Tuesday, 14th April 2020.

First round interviews: Monday, 20th April 2020.

We're proud to be heading up the search party for one of the UK's leading children's charities who are looking for a Philanthropy Manager covering the Yorkshire patch. It's a brand-new role within a successful, growing philanthropy team and a brilliant opportunity to gain national charity experience working to support some of the region's most vulnerable children.

Home-based with tons of flexibility, it's a grown-up culture open to suggested working patterns with a charity that understands the importance of life and family-friendly working. Condensed hours, a 9-day fortnight and 4 days per week are all possible.

You'll be working with high net worth individuals to secure major gifts across a wide ranging portfolio from £5k to over £100k. There are some existing relationships to hand over, but the purpose of this role is to grow income and generate new business so you'll need to be comfortable with that. Working closely with existing major donors and colleagues across corporate and community fundraising teams, there is plenty of opportunity to open up your network and make new connections, as well as using your creative business development head to find untrodden paths.

Ideally, we're looking for a major gifts expert, although this role could work equally well with a talented candidate from the commercial sector with experience of high net worth individuals. This role could also suit a corporate or trusts fundraiser looking for their first philanthropy job. Whatever your background, you'll be a highly motivated, target-driven person with exceptional stewardship and relationship management skills who is comfortable in making asks for significant figures. This isn't the job for a maverick: you'll need to be a collaborative team player who understands that a sharing and supportive culture yields better results and that, sometimes, a colleague will be better placed to manage a relationship than you.

If you're the person we're looking for, please send a copy of your CV to Charity People's Yorkshire consultant, Amelia Lee, for lots more detail.

Closing date: 9am on 10th April
