It’s an exciting time to join War Child as they have recently launched their new Alliance initiative. The War Child Alliance brings together the five War Child fundraising members (in the Netherlands, UK, Germany and Sweden, plus Children in Conflict in the US), with 14 programme members, based in and around conflict-affected areas across the world and coordinated by a new international body: the War Child Alliance Foundation. Through the Alliance they are integrating programme activities under one umbrella – allowing War Child to combine strengths and pool resources – all with the aim to multiply impact for conflict-affected children.

As part of the Trusts and Institutional funding team of four you’ll work alongside the Head of Trusts and Institutional, Trusts Manager, Trusts Executive and be line managed by the new Trusts and Institutional Funding Lead. Your key objective is to provide operational, administrative, and analytical support to the team to grow income and enable War Child to deliver quality programmes, by ensuring compliance with quality and donor requirements, contributing to effective risk management, providing support for the different donor accounts and ensuring processes and systems are in place, implemented and efficient. The role requires proactive collaboration with cross-functional teams, excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and strong communication skills.

As Trusts and Institutional Funding Executive, you will: 

• Develop donor profiles by conducting research on potential donors, including their funding focus, giving history, and connections to War Child
• Plan and prepare meetings with donors by collaborating with senior colleagues and stakeholders to determine strategic objectives and key messages
• Monitor and share potential funding opportunities with the relevant Donor Account Managers within the Trusts and Institutional Funding team
• Support the implementation of internal grant management processes

Ideal skills and experience: 

• Experience of fundraising for an international development organisation
• An excellent verbal communicator, confident in dealing with people at all levels, externally and internally, with the ability to influence and negotiate
• Interested and knowledgeable in current developments and trends in the international aid sector
• Committed to War Child’s mission, vision and values

Benefits include: 

• Flexible working – for most roles, the following types of flexibility are usually possible: flexible hours, an element of working from home, compressed hours
• Annual leave – 28 days per year (full-time) rising to 33 days with service, plus UK bank holidays
• Pension – all eligible employees automatically enrolled into a Group Personal Pension Plan with a 5% employer contribution, with minimum employee contribution on a salary sacrifice basis

Rare opportunity: Help those affected by road crashes and create lasting change with Brake, the renowned road safety charity.

Who we are: Brake has been supporting victims of road carnage since 1995, and we're on a mission to prevent future collisions. Every 20 minutes, someone is killed or seriously injured on our roads, impacting lives profoundly.

Join our team: We're looking for a dedicated Bereavement Caseworker to join our dynamic, compassionate team. Your role will involve delivering world-class support services to those at their most vulnerable.

Not your average job: This isn't a 9 to 5. You could play a significant part in delivering trauma-informed support services nationwide. Make a real difference in the lives of those affected by road traffic collisions. 

What we offer:

• A generous 35 days of annual leave (including bank holidays and 3-day shutdown period between Christmas and New Year. Pro-rata for part-time working patterns)
• An extra day off for your birthday to take whenever you choose 
• Enhanced sick pay and compassionate leave 
• Death in service benefit 
• Pension
• Employee Assistance Programme 
• Flexible working 
• Ongoing support and clinical supervision 
• Be part of a skilled, friendly team with an engaged Board of Trustees 

Who you are: We are looking for dedicated, adaptable and empathic people with a background in providing high-quality emotional support and advocacy. Experience gained in the following kinds of roles tends to transfer well to the role of caseworker at Brake: police force, roles within the criminal justice system, family liaison officer, counsellor, experience in health and social care or previous caseworker experience in any area. 

Specifically seeking candidates that have:

• A full clean UK driving licence, with your own vehicle and a willingness to use it for work purposes (travel expenses will be reimbursed)

• Experience of frontline care for people in crisis with acute vulnerabilities and risks (desirable but not essential) 
• Comprehensive understanding of the processes involved in the criminal justice system (desirable but not essential) 
• Research and advocacy skills – you will reach out to other organisations to support your cases where required 
• Significant resilience, and willingness to be professionally developed and clinically supervised 

We are interested in receiving applications, not to the exclusion of others, from candidates with experience supporting people who have suffered sudden bereavement or working with those with heightened vulnerabilities. 

The greatest reward comes from knowing you have made a real positive difference to someone’s recovery from psychological trauma, and the emotional or practical challenges presented by their sudden bereavement or serious injury. 

If you are seeking out a new challenge and think you have the skills, passion, and commitment that we are looking for, we would be interested in hearing from you. 

About the team and how we work

Brake is passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that values diversity. We welcome your application whatever your background or situation. We particularly welcome applications from those who are part of the global majority, the LGBTQIA+ community or disabled. We are proud to be a disability confident employer. We don’t want you to ‘fit’ our culture, we want you to enrich it. 

So, if you have a passion for making a difference and share in our vision for a world where no one is killed on our roads, we would love to hear from you.

The successful candidate will be required to go through an enhanced DBS vetting process due to the sensitive nature of the service delivered.

We do not accept applications from serious traffic offenders due to the nature of our work. Candidates will be asked to disclose any unspent points at interview. Employees are subject to driver licence checks. 

To apply

Submit your CV and a covering letter which clearly demonstrate you have what it takes to perform this challenging and rewarding role.

Rydym yn chwilio am bobl sydd â chefndir mewn darparu cymorth emosiynol ac ymchwil ac eiriolaeth ymarferol i bobl fregus ar ôl trawma seicolegol difrifol fel marwolaeth anwylyn mewn amgylchiadau treisgar. 

Yn benodol, rydym yn chwilio am ymgeiswyr gyda: 

• profiad o ofal rheng flaen i bobl mewn argyfwng gyda bregusrwydd a risgiau dwys (dymunol ond nid hanfodol) 

• dealltwriaeth gynhwysfawr o'r prosesau o dan sylw yn y system cyfiawnder troseddol (dymunol ond nid hanfodol) 

• sgiliau ymchwil ac eiriolaeth – rydych yn cwblhau pethau hanfodol drwy gysylltu gydag asiantaethau allanol 

• cadernid sylweddol a pharodrwydd i gael eich datblygu'n broffesiynol a'ch goruchwylio'n glinigol 

• trwydded yrru lawn o'r DU, gyda mynediad at eich cludiant eich hun ac yn barod i'w ddefnyddio at ddibenion gwaith (rydym yn ad-dalu costau teithio). 

Rhaid i ymgeiswyr allu siarad Cymraeg. Bydd disgwyl i chi gefnogi teuluoedd sy'n iaith gyntaf Gymraeg. 

Mae gennym ddiddordeb derbyn ceisiadau gan ymgeiswyr gyda phrofiad o gynorthwyo pobl sydd wedi dioddef galar sydyn neu brofiad o weithio gyda phobl gyda bregusrwydd dwysach. Nid yw hyn yn eithrio pobl eraill gyda llaw. 

Mae profiad yn y rolau canlynol yn tueddu trosglwyddo'n dda i rôl gweithiwr achos yn Brake: heddlu, rolau o fewn y system cyfiawnder troseddol, swyddog cyswllt teuluoedd, cwnselydd, profiad mewn gofal iechyd a chymdeithasol neu brofiad blaenorol fel gweithiwr achos mewn unrhyw faes. 

Daw'r wobr fwyaf o wybod eich bod wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol gadarnhaol i adferiad rhywun o drawma seicolegol, a'r heriau emosiynol neu ymarferol a brofir gan eu galar sydyn neu anaf difrifol. 

Os ydych yn ceisio her newydd ac yn meddwl fod gennych y sgiliau, angerdd a'r ymrwymiad rydym yn chwilio amdano, byddem â diddordeb clywed gennych chi. 

Hanes y tîm a sut rydym yn gweithio 

• Mae Brake o hyd yn hyrwyddo cydraddoldeb, amrywiaeth a chynhwysiant. Rydym yn cyflogi ar sail sgiliau a phrofiad ymgeiswyr, waeth beth fo oedran, anabledd (gan gynnwys anableddau cudd), rhywedd, hunaniaeth rhywedd neu ailbennu rhywedd, priodas a phartneriaeth sifil, beichiogrwydd a mamolaeth, hil, crefydd neu gred neu gyfeiriadedd rhywiol. 

• Bydd gofyn i'r ymgeisydd llwyddiannus fynd drwy broses fetio DBS uwch oherwydd natur sensitif y gwasanaeth a gyflawnir. Efallai bydd angen fetio heddlu ychwanegol (i'w gadarnhau). 

• Dalier sylw nad ydym yn derbyn ceisiadau gan droseddwyr traffig difrifol oherwydd natur ein gwaith. ⁠Mae gweithwyr yn destun gwiriadau trwyddedau gyrru.
