Could you support us to make positive lasting changes in people’s lives?

Providence Row works with more than a thousand homeless and vulnerably housed people a year in East London, offering an integrated service of crisis support, advice, recovery and learning and training programmes.  Our aim is to ensure that people who are so often excluded from mainstream services gain the support and opportunities they need to create a safe, healthy and sustainable life away from the streets. Central to our work are our core values of Compassion, Respect, Inclusiveness, Empowerment and Justice.  These inform the content, style and delivery of all our services.

Rise Bakery is our award-winning social enterprise specialising in delicious brownies delivered straight to peoples’ doors as well as for wholesale corporate clients. Rise’s business helps to fund the bakery training scheme, training people affected by homelessness for 10 weeks at a time, covering basic bakery skills and building their confidence to help them onto the next step of their journey.  In 2020 we will be growing even further with the building of a new training bakery; meaning we can help more people and grow the business further.

Your contribution and values

With experience in Social Enterprise, catering and/or working in a professional kitchen you will have great organisational and time-management skills; oversee the running of Rise, our social enterprise, including logistics, product development, assisting with marketing, production, and customer service, the supervision of trainees and the production of Rise Bakery goods. 

You will be passionate about using food as a means to help people overcome exclusion, isolation and poor health. 

You will have the drive and ambition to support the development of our successful social enterprise to make positive lasting changes in people’s lives.

We are Bloodwise (becoming Blood Cancer UK on 31 March), and we want to change the world for all blood cancer patients. Every year we stop more people dying of blood cancer and our researchers are even working to stop people developing blood cancer in the first place.

The Corporate Partnerships Officer is a new role which will play a crucial part in this strategy by leading on fundraising from smaller pharmas, while the Corporate Partnerships Manager invests more time in securing larger partnerships.

The closing date for this exciting opportunity is:

If so, this is a great opportunity to join an award-winning team as Corporate Partnerships Executive and play a key role in driving our fundraising goals forward.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve. 

Fundraising is at the heart of Shelter’s success. Indeed, between 16/17 and 19/20 our fundraising income has increased from £33 million to £45 million.

New Partnerships generates new business through a range of corporate fundraising mechanics, while the Partnership Management team, where this role is based, lead the development of long-term corporate partnerships. And, as the division as a whole continues to grow and develop, it's a truly exciting time to join us.

About the Role

This is an essential role within the team, where you will support the employee fundraising and engagement activities across our valued corporate partnerships with B&Q, HSBC and Nationwide.

Working within the Employee Engagement and Fundraising strand of the Account Management team, you will also support on managing fundraising materials and stock across your partners and provide personal and tailored support for partner employees who are fundraising for Shelter.

About you
As well as being an accomplished account manager with experience in the corporate or fundraising sector, you’re also great at managing client relationships, quickly understanding their needs and responding appropriately. You’ll be equally comfortable working at ground level with employees and at a senior level with our corporate partners, representing Shelter at meetings and gaining buy in to maximise income.

You’ve got a results-driven, collaborative approach, top notch influencing and negotiating skills, and respect others’ opinions. You’ll also have commercial awareness, lots of creativity and innovation, good time management skills and a willingness to challenge the status quo and introduce new methods, processes and ideas. Experience of using Microsoft Office applications and databases (we use Raisers Edge) is also essential.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

About LMN

Vision

A just future based on a lower demand for mining and on respect for human rights and ecological justice (including the rights of nature) where mining does take place.

Mission

We undertake research and action for human rights and environmental justice in partnership with communities resisting, or affected by, the operations of London-based or London-financed mining companies around the world. We aim to tackle impunity and hold the mining industry to account, end unethical corporate practice, and to create an alternative narrative which respects the diverse cultures and cosmologies of the people with whom we work.

Values

Frontline voices: Our work is led by the needs and concerns of the people affected by or potentially affected by the activities of mining companies. We work to strengthen their capacity to amplify their voices and to place their needs and concerns centre stage.

Solidarity: We are committed to facilitating the development and strengthening of networks of solidarity with and between people whose land, cultures, livelihoods, health and wellbeing, workplace and other rights are threatened by the activities of mining companies.

Collaboration and teamwork: We work collaboratively as part of a formal network and also as part of several dynamic and changing informal networks of NGOs, community organisations, voluntary groups, concerned individuals, and others.

Environmental Stewardship and Just Transition: We understand that we are part of nature and that we must live within the ecological limits of our planet. We seek to promote a just transition to a sustainable and fair post-extractivist society that ensures that future generations will benefit, not suffer, from the practices of our generation.

Personal and planet: We encourage everyone involved with LMN to consider their well-being and support each other, and to consider the well-being of the planet and others with whom we share it.

Respectful: We value the opinions, expertise and diversity that people bring to LMN, and treat each other with respect, dignity and common courtesy regardless of background, culture, lifestyle or position.

Empowerment: We encourage everyone involved with LMN, whether they be workers, consultants, volunteers, supporters or representatives of communities with whom we are working, to share ideas, gain skills and knowledge and to involve themselves in our decision-making processes and to feel they are part of making change happen.

Honesty and transparency: We are accountable at all levels of our work, to ensure that we are effective in our actions and open in our communications with others. We regularly evaluate our activities and welcome dialogue and constructive criticism.

With these values, we  have supported communities to say ‘no’ to mining projects and hold companies accountable, and we coordinate a network of mining justice organisations, playing an integral role in extractives campaigning.

LMN believes that the people  who should have the  decisive voice with regard  to mining projects are the people  most directly impacted by them – yet  their voices are often ignored. One of our most  important tasks, therefore, is to ensure that the  voices of communities resisting mining, communities seeking  justice from companies for the consequences of existing projects,  communities developing alternatives to mining, and mining workers in dispute  with companies, are heard by the boards, shareholders, investors and insurers of the companies and by members of the public in Britain.

We seek to promote and share communities’ ways of understanding the world and support their development models.
