DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

• £40,000-£49,000 (dependent on experience)
• Permanent role: 37.5 hours per week
• 26 days’ holiday per year and flexible working hours
• Fully remote during the pandemic, then based in London, Liverpool or Manchester

The Cares Family particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, who are under-represented in our organisation. We are an equal opportunities employer and an anti-racist organisation committed to inclusion.

The Cares Family’s mission is to help people find connection in a disconnected age. Our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst younger and older people alike; improve people’s connection, belonging, purpose and power in a changing world; and bring people together to reduce social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

Over the last decade our model has grown from a tiny idea in a single place into a national leader. Combined, North London Cares (founded in 2011), South London Cares (2014), Manchester Cares (2017), Liverpool Cares (2018) and East London Cares (2019), have connected some 23,000 older and younger neighbours to share over 600,000 interactions and 140,000 hours.

We’ve been improving individual lives and community togetherness for ten years, and The Cares Family has more recently started to have an impact at the systemic and cultural levels too. Our strategy to do that is to consolidate our operations to ensure we make the biggest impact possible; to go deeper with our local intergenerational communities; and to spur a ripple effect connection across the UK with a suite of exciting new projects including The Multiplier which we started in 2021.

The Cares Family is therefore at a moment of opportunity to make an even bigger difference in the years ahead, and this is a key leadership and fundraising position that will help us to grow our income (our annual budget has grown from £0.75m to £2.5m in the last four years), impact and influence at pace.

During the pandemic, we have had an Acting Director of Development covering maternity leave. Now, as we reaffirm our strategy for the coming years, we are seeking a permanent Director of Development to help us meet our ambitious income targets in a continued time of uncertainty, to drive our income generation strategy, to lead and develop our fundraising team, to nurture key partnerships and to serve as a key figure in our Senior Leadership Team.

If that sounds like it could be you, we'd love to hear from you.

This is a task-based application process, so we are not asking applicants for CVs. To find out more information, including on how to apply for this role, please read the job description and the included application task descriptions on our website.

Deadline: 11:59pm on Tuesday 22nd September 2021.

TLC: Talk, Listen, Change is a dynamic, leading relationships charity based in Greater Manchester. 

Drive
The Drive Partnership - Respect, SafeLives and Social Finance – believes domestic abuse is not acceptable or inevitable. Drive works with high-harm, high-risk and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse to prevent their abusive behaviour and protect adult and child victims. And it works. A study by the University of Bristol shows that the Drive intervention reduces abuse.

The role
In this role you will be responsible for striving to make contact and work on a one-to-one basis with perpetrators whose victims have been identified as high risk to pro-actively secure engagement, influence attitudinal and behavioural change and link to complementary services. You will work with existing agencies to design a co-ordinated, strategic individual intervention plan to address identified needs. You will work closely with the IDVA service to review risk, develop safety plans and improve outcomes for all parties involved. If you’re passionate about ending domestic abuse and interested in ensuring perpetrators are risk managed and supported to change, we want to hear from you. 

About you

You will have direct experience of working with vulnerable service users and experience of working within a public protection/safeguarding multi-agency setting. You will also have experience of managing Safeguarding issues. Above all you will be comfortable with conflict management, and you’ll bring a positive, solution focused attitude.

We want you to feel empowered to bring your best to this role, so we encourage flexible working around core hours. We offer an annual continuous Professional Development allowance, generous annual leave entitlement and Birthday leave.
