About KIDS

We work with children, irrespective of their disability or impairment, from birth through to 25 years.  Each year we support over 15,000 disabled children, offer over 120 different services and work with about 80 Local Authorities across England.

We are passionate, caring and trusted and our vision is a world in which all disabled children and young people realise their aspirations.  We offer support and practical help for families, every step of the way.

From Bernie Sanders to Greenpeace UK, progressive organisations are using digital mobilisation to activate hundreds of thousands of campaigners and raise millions of pounds online. Forward Action believes that a digital mobilisation model - where organisations use digital channels to drive hundreds of thousands of supporters to take advocacy, fundraising and volunteering actions - can revolutionize campaigning and fundraising in the NGO sector. However, its potential is still largely untapped in the UK. We help progressive organisations build digital mobilisation programmes and, as our Marketing and Partnerships Officer, you will work to help grow the number of organisations using a digital mobilisation model to drive real-world change.

You will manage our online marketing programme, working to keep establishing Forward Action as a thought leader in digital mobilisation and finding ways to share learnings from our innovations for the rest of the sector to benefit from. You’ll run the day-to-day operations of our partnerships programme, acting as the primary point of contact for prospective partners and delivering the administrative and coordination work needed to move organisations smoothly through from first interaction to a productive partnership. And finally, you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills in relationship building, supporting our Partnerships Director to build stakeholder buy-in on projects.

If you’re passionate about digital marketing, enjoy building relationships, are well organised and would be excited to help spread digital mobilisation across the charity sector, this job is for you.

This is a permanent role, with the freedom to work both in our London office and remotely from home, although during lockdown you will, of course, only work from home. Once lockdown is fully lifted, it’s likely you will need to be able to travel to meetings in London once or twice a week. You can work either four or five days a week. Applications close Sunday 2 August.

Who we are

Forward Action is a digital mobilisation agency for progressive causes. We help our partner organisations reach new supporters, then mobilise them to become activists and donors. We have been in the engine room of some of the most successful election and charity digital campaigns of the last few years, helping our partners add millions of new supporters to their email lists, raise more money online (from more donors) and create campaigns that have led to real-world change.

Our values are critical to us: we will only work with causes that make the world a better place. You will get to work with some of the most inspiring and impactful organisations in the sector - such as Greenpeace, Cancer Research UK, and Amnesty International - and spend your days helping win progress on everything from climate change to homelessness.

You will be working at the cutting edge of digital mobilisation. We trust in data rather than our gut instincts, so we are constantly testing and iterating in our work in order to challenge assumptions and drive better results. We are an agile, fast-moving team, and you will have the opportunity to rapidly develop and expand your skills and experience. 

One of our fundamental values is that all our work should drive real-world, measurable results. But we also believe that the greatest progressive impact we can have is to give our partner organisations the skills, knowledge and culture they need to do what we do themselves. We want to spread our skills and way of working across the progressive sector, not make our partners dependent on us. You will play a key role in this in your job.

What you’ll do as part of our team

• Manage our marketing and thought leadership work

  • Identify and apply for opportunities for Forward Action to speak at conferences and events, and occasionally speak at them yourself (if this is something you’d like to do)

  • Oversee our content calendar for our blogs and social media channels, and commission other team members to write content that shares our learnings and further establishes Forward Action as a thought leader in digital mobilisation

  • Launch and run our email programme to share results and learnings from our work

  • Organise occasional evening drinks, coffee meetings and other social events with partners (and attend them yourself)

• Run the day-to-day operation of our partnerships programme

  • Be the primary point of contact for prospective partners over email, from their first interaction with us through to the point we start work together

  • Identify and organise opportunities for our partnerships team to share advice and learnings with both current and prospective partners

  • Run our project setup process, ensuring we’re completing all the administrative setup work needed for each new project

  • Run our invoicing process, using our bookkeeping system to send out invoices for each completed project

  • Assist with quoting and, occasionally, proposal writing for smaller projects

• Develop your skills in building relationships with partners

  • Join calls with our Partnerships Director and new prospective partners to discuss how Forward Action can help them hit their goals

  • As a development opportunity in the role, you will act as the partnership owner on occasional projects, building relationships with partner stakeholders and helping our team break through process challenges or blockages during projects.

Benefits and working culture

Pro Rata Salary: £31,431 if you live inside London, £28,063 (plus £3,000 travel expense allowance) if you live outside London. We have a generous pay increase system, so every year your salary will increase in line with inflation, and if you hit your professional development goals you will also move up a pay grade. If you move up a pay grade your pay will increase by £1,123 - £1,258 pro rata depending on whether you live outside London or in London.

Contract Term: This is a permanent contract. The role can be either full time or four days a week.

Location: At home during lockdown; post-lockdown, in our Hoxton office, with the option to work remotely. Ensuring our team is open to people who live outside London and enabling staff to work flexibly are important values to us, so you’ll have the freedom to work from home regularly. Many of our meetings are held via video conferencing, but post-lockdown you will need to attend meetings with clients in London fairly regularly - once or twice a week on average.

Holiday: 25 days/year (pro rata), plus bank holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year.

Extra holiday for travelling sustainably: We’re a member of the Climate Perks scheme, so you’ll have an extra two days of holiday a year if you use them to travel by land or sea instead of taking a flight.

Maternity and Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave: For a small organisation, we’re proud to have a generous and progressive parental leave policy. Maternity leave is 12 weeks at full pay, 14 weeks at 50% pay. Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave is 6 weeks at full pay.

Working culture and hours: Our team is open, inclusive, friendly, respectful and kind. People from communities that traditionally experience discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity or immigration status; women; new parents; people with disabilities; and LGBTQ+ people are especially encouraged to apply.

We work eight hour days (including a 30 minute lunch break), with core hours of 9:30am-4:30pm. We put a lot of importance on ensuring everyone finishes on time: while there are some times when you’ll need to stay a little later to finish work, people in the team rarely work more than 45-60 minutes late. No one ever works on weekends or their holidays.

As a member of the senior executive team and reporting directly to the Executive Director, the new Deputy Executive Director will have significant impact on Unicef UK and our ability to deliver on our mission. Unicef UK currently secures around £25 million annually in corporate partnership and foundation support from a strong range of organisations, including Unilever, Standard Chartered Bank, BT, The Wellcome Trust, and Manchester United. However we believe that, with the right leadership for our corporate and foundation partnership teams, we can significantly grow our income with the support of similar organisations. Our ambition is that over the next five years we will see annualised corporate and foundation partnership support to Unicef UK rise to closer to £50 million; and we want to invest in the strategy, approach, capability and people that will help us realise that goal.

We wish to encourage applications from experienced senior leaders drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds. The successful candidate will be an ambitious and visionary leader with proven experience working with the most senior levels of corporate organisations and/or trusts and foundations. You will demonstrate a deep knowledge of how to cultivate and steward high value relationships between corporate and grant making organisations and their partners. You will have the energy and aptitude to build Unicef UK’s reputation with a wide range of corporate and foundation partners, and significantly expand the range of partners who engage with us. You will have demonstrable experience in cultivating and developing relationships with business leaders and foundation leaders, and reporting on their success and income generation to the Unicef UK Board. Excellent communication skills are essential, alongside a clear passion and commitment to Unicef’s mission.

Partnerships Manager

Full time, fixed term contract to 31st March 2021

£34,000pa pro rata plus 8% employers’ pension

Home based/virtual office working

About the role 

Working to the Head of Membership and closely with the wider Senior Management Team and the Programmes Manager, our new Partnerships Manager will help us deliver key programmes of work through close engagement with our members and our partners and by effectively project managing agreed work plans.

The Partnerships Manager will lead on developing activities to meet the expectations of our funders and clients and will support the management of key external relationships.  The role will work across a diverse portfolio of projects reflecting the breadth of activities delivered for and by NAVCA’s members.

The role will support the Head of Membership to continuously develop and deliver excellent member services, and will work closely with members and colleagues to identify and meet particular areas of interest and need amongst our members.

Specifically, the role will be responsible for the effective delivery of our annual work plan for the Health & Wellbeing Alliance, and will play an essential role in our work as part of the VCS Emergencies Partnership.

This is an outcome focused, relationship based role with a strong element of effective project management and practical delivery.

Salary:  £34,000 with 8% employer’s contribution to pension

Contracted hours:  Full time

Holiday:  25 days holiday pa pro rata (1st April to 31st March), plus Bank Holidays and three days close-down between Christmas and New Year

This role will initially be a fixed term contract to 31st March 2021, with the potential to become a permanent role in the future.

An immediate start is essential.

About you

The ideal candidate will be an excellent communicator and relationship builder, able to mix the ability to engage effectively with a wide range of partners and members with a practical, outcome focused ability to manage and deliver complex programmes.  

You will have evidenced knowledge of project management techniques, and experience of working within a relationship-based environment to deliver specific work plans and gather intelligence.

You will be comfortable balancing the needs of a specified and time limited work plan with the organic emergence of new requirements and demands.  You’ll also be able to blend the ability to think and work across a range of subject areas with an attention to detail and a systematic approach to recording and managing information.

In common with the rest of the NAVCA team, you’ll be deeply collaborative in your approach, with a flexible, agile focus on delivering meaningful outcomes for our members, our partners, our funders and ultimately the communities we serve.

We actively practice a flexible and supportive working culture; you will be contractually home based so you will need to be comfortable working remotely and without close supervision.  We will support you to work effectively in the non-office based environment of your choice, whether that be at home or in a hot desking environment.  

You should be outcomes-focused, and seeking to make the most effective use of your time and energies for the benefit of our members and the communities they serve.

You’ll need to be within easy access of our small office hub in Sheffield – probably within an hour’s travel time - with the ability to travel across the country if required.

About us

We are the only national membership body in England that specifically and solely supports place-based local VCSE infrastructure organisations across the country.  We have around 180 members who between them offer (at last estimate) around 160,000 local charities and voluntary organisations the support they need to thrive.

As the hub of this network of locally focused organisations we are heavily member focused – without our members we are nothing, and we are passionate advocates of the crucial role our members play in the ecosystem of the VCSE sector.

We are a small, highly collaborative, outcome focused and dynamic team.  Our culture is one of mutual support, and we are committed to ‘excellence, everywhere.’  We work at pace, responding to the needs of our members and to the opportunities that arise to act on their behalf – and that can mean that sometimes things can feel complex and challenging.  Sometimes we get things wrong! And we aim to learn from what doesn’t go well, and we share our learning openly and authentically.

We have a small office hub in Sheffield, but everyone on the team is contractually home based and primarily works remotely.  We gather regularly (when not in the midst of a global pandemic) to meet face to face, and we use technology to ensure high levels of communication and collaboration throughout the working week.

We are not currently a racially diverse organisation, but we are committed to making the necessary changes to ensure that Black, Asian and Minoritised Ethnic candidates and potential colleagues will feel welcomed and supported to succeed and thrive in our organisation. 

We are committed to the ‘Open to All’ campaign and do not currently require any specific qualifications for any of our roles.  We are currently reviewing all our policies through an actively anti-racist lens, and we have for the past eighteen months practised blind recruitment supported by active diversity monitoring.

How to apply

Please follow the application instructions carefully to support our blind recruitment process:

To apply for this role, we would like you to send us your CV and a short covering letter – no more than two sides of A4. 

You should remove any references to your name, email address, home address, date of birth or dates of education, but please ensure both documents are headed with  your phone number – this will be your unique identifier throughout the process (and means that we can contact you!)

Your covering letter should evidence, with examples, how you meet the core competencies described in the role profile.

You should also confirm your immediate availability for the role and your location (town or city).

When you apply you will be asked to complete an anonymised diversity monitoring survey.  We would appreciate your support in enabling us to track the diversity of our applicants as part of our commitment to improving the diversity of our organisation.

Are you passionate about global health, motivated by your Christian faith, and looking to make a positive difference in the world? Are you highly organised, with excellent communication and administration skills that will help us manage relationships with external programme partners to ensure medical aid reaches those who need it?

International Health Partners (IHP) is a global health charity coordinating the safe and responsible donation of medicines and health supplies to people around the world who lack access. We work with a range of global partners to respond rapidly to humanitarian disasters, support long-term healthcare programmes, and equip doctors and other healthcare professionals with supplies for short-term medical trips. We specifically focus on helping those in hard-to-reach, vulnerable and disaster-hit communities. We coordinate the safe and responsible donation of medical products to where the needs are greatest, so that people do not suffer needlessly from treatable illnesses. The global outbreak of Covid-19 has further highlighted the urgent need for improving access to medicines and strengthening health systems.

We are seeking a Programmes Officer to provide effective support to our work in health programmes and humanitarian response. The Programmes Officer will help us identify the needs of our partners overseas – aid agencies and medical organisations – and support the preparation of appropriate shipments containing donations of medicines and medical supplies from European pharmaceutical companies.  There will be plenty of administration – everything from due diligence checks on potential and existing partners, to looking at the product needs of our Essential Health Packs and processing applications from medics for these valuable kits.

We are looking for someone who is self-motivated, has an excellent eye for detail, and wants to learn and contribute to a great team. We can offer you a rewarding and varied role, with lots of training and support, in our small but busy team. In the last two years we were able to send over 6 million treatments to places like Yemen, South Sudan, Palestine and Guatemala, where easily treatable diseases can mean chronic pain, poor quality of life or even a death sentence.

Please view the full job description and person specification for further detail.

IHP is an Equal Opportunities Employer. Staff regularly spend time together praying for IHP’s work and there is an occupational requirement for the post holder to have a personal commitment to the Christian faith. Please make it clear in the application how you meet this requirement.

We offer excellent benefits including a company pension scheme and a generous holiday entitlement. The IHP office is based in Central London (Clerkenwell) but currently working remotely. Flexible working opportunities are available with this role.

To apply, submit your CV and covering letter explaining how you meet the person specification. 

Applications close at midnight on 10th August 2020 and interviews are scheduled for the week of the 17th August but may be undertaken earlier if suitable candidate(s) apply.
