This is an exciting time to join the growing team at Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity.   We are recruiting for a passionate Trusts Officer to generate and grow income from trusts and foundations to support the charity's work.

The case around the need to support people of all ages with dyslexia is compelling. About 1 in 10 people have a degree of dyslexia, and this can affect people’s lives in a fundamental way. If not addressed correctly, it can leave people feeling like failures, and choosing negative paths in life. Whereas if the right help is provided, people can learn to use their dyslexia extremely positively, and as a strong advantage in life. The key is to get the right help, advice and support. And always to remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Don’t we all?

We are committed to further increasing our reach and impact over the next 5 years, with the aim of more than doubling the number of beneficiaries we support, and particularly to assist significantly more people who are from lower-income backgrounds.  In order to achieve this, we have created the important role of Trust Officer.

You will work closely with our Fundraising & Communications team based at our Surrey centre with the option of working from home.  Our team of staff and volunteers are brilliant and our reputation is second to none. We have a growing number of people joining the Helen Arkell family. This is hardly surprising, as we provide support to over a thousand people with dyslexia each year, and many of these see their first contact with us as a life-changing moment.

This is a great opportunity for someone who connects with our values and wants to make a significant impact by raising funds to support the great work we do.

We do hope you feel inspired to be part of our journey and look forward to receiving your application.

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

Key responsibilities will include;

• Act as the focal point for content management and governance on our SharePoint platform Planet.
• Work with different parts of the organisation to ensure Planet is aligned with best practice Knowledge Management and Information Management principles.
• Support departments and business units to review and update their SharePoint content and create compelling new content using the latest available technology and SharePoint designs.
• Find ways to highlight content and widen its reach across the organisation, including by linking with existing internal communications channels, such as our internal collaboration platform Workplace.
• Provide guidance and support to colleagues to assist their transition to new Knowledge Management processes and ways of working on Planet.
• Support the development and implementation of operational performance measures to continuously improve Knowledge Management and efficiency.

The Individual

We want Plan International to reflect the diversity of the communities we work with, offering equal opportunities to everyone regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation.

Plan International is based on a culture of inclusivity and we strive to create a workplace environment that ensures every team, in every office, in every country, is rich in diverse people, thoughts, and ideas.

We foster an organisational culture that embraces our commitment to racial justice, gender equality, girls’ rights and inclusion.

Plan International believes that in a world where children face so many threats of harm, it is our duty to ensure that we, as an organisation, do everything we can to keep children safe. This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.

A range of pre-employment checks will be undertaken in conformity with Plan International's Safeguarding Children and Young People policy.

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity (RMCC) raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. Together with the hospital we ensure our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments, which are used across the UK and around the world. From funding state-of-the-art equipment and ground-breaking research, to creating the very best patient environments, RMCC funds the development of new ways to improve the lives of people affected by cancer. Our recent emergency appeal raised over £2m to support hospital staff and patients through the Covid-19 pandemic.

We are entering a new and ambitious three year strategy to grow out underlying income, and provide significant grant making to the hospital. Along with funding an existing world-class programme of research, treatment and care, we are also raising £70 million, our biggest capital appeal to date, to build the Oak Cancer Centre that will provide radical new solutions for the research and treatment of cancer.

The Grants Team is central to achieving the Charity’s objectives and manages all funding awarded to the hospital, including all grants and Special Purpose Funds (SPFs). In March 2020, RMCC Trustees approved the 2020-2025 Grants Strategy which proposed that £55million is made available to the hospital, over the 5-year strategic period, to support what is of greatest strategic need to the hospital. Future grants will fund vital patient services, innovative research and the purchase of state-of-the-art equipment. We also hold over 150 SPFs which are restricted to purposes of research, patient services and staff benefit.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic individual preferably with some experience of grants and/or funds administration to help manage the day-to-day and long-term processes of the RMCC Grants Team. With excellent interpersonal and communication skills, the post holder will be highly organised with a strong attention to detail.

The Grants & SPF Assistant will work closely with, and report to, the Grants Manager. They will also support the Senior SPF Executive with administration of SPFs and may be asked to undertake additional tasks as requested by the Head of Grants.

If you have the determination to make a difference, have a positive outlook and can inspire people to take action we want to talk to you.

As a Fundraising and Supporter Assistant you will have a vital role to play in being the first point of contact for most of our treasured supporters across the UK. Providing an outstanding service and helping the fundraising team to build more longer term and eternal supporters will be essential. No two days will be the same and we require an individual with a positive can-do attitude, someone that can appreciate importance of accurate data entry as well as confident with talking to people on the phone, listening to their journey and how Pancreatic Cancer has affected them and their family.

The post holder will need to be passionate about making a difference, be an excellent communicator and team player, able to demonstrate that they are IT literate, adaptable and quick to learn new things.

This is an awesome opportunity to become part of a small but dynamic team in a rapidly expanding charity.
