St Edmund Hall, affectionately known as ‘Teddy Hall’, is one of the oldest constituent colleges of the University of Oxford and occupies a historic site in the heart of the city.  The College is the last-standing medieval Hall in Oxford, dating back to at least the 13th Century.  Modern and progressive in its outlook, the College is known for its friendly atmosphere and inclusive culture as well as its many sporting and creative traditions. 

The College has around 70 Fellows, 400 undergraduates and 300 postgraduates.  Many of its academics are actively pursuing world-leading research, opening opportunities for students to understand cutting-edge ideas, concepts, and phenomena across many disciplines.  There is also a global network of 10,000 alumni in over 100 countries who have excelled in a broad range of fields including journalism, politics, the sciences, drama and sport.

St Edmund Hall seeks to appoint an enthusiastic new Director of Development, a figurehead for fundraising and alumni engagement across the College.  The Director of Development will play a key role in delivering the College’s strategic priorities, and in contributing to College life.

Leading and inspiring a talented team of four, the postholder will be responsible for devising and implementing a creative fundraising strategy, which aims to deliver the College’s ambitious funding goals in line with its 2019-2029 strategic plan.  Working in close partnership with the Principal, you will carry your own portfolio of major gifts prospects and will have an important role in the solicitation of six-, seven-, and even eight-figure donations.  You will additionally develop and oversee effective fundraising at all levels, harnessing the help of Fellows, alumni and volunteers as appropriate. 

The College sees this appointment as an exciting opportunity for a collaborative fundraiser with outstanding leadership abilities and the propensity to enjoy all that College life has to offer.  The successful candidate will be a confident communicator with well-developed interpersonal skills and outstanding leadership abilities.  You will have a strong sense of integrity and a proven track record in securing philanthropic income, together with expertise in relationship management, outstanding organisational skills and a passion for the mission of St Edmund Hall. 

The timing of this appointment is particularly exciting as the College rebounds from the pandemic and embarks upon its most ambitious fundraising campaign to date, with a target of £50 million.  With the commitment of an engaged Principal in the prime of her tenure, and endless possibilities for fundraising, this presents as a truly career-defining opportunity.

The closing date for applications is noon on Friday 19 November 2021.

Talitha Arts is an integrative creative arts charity that offers creative arts workshops to those who have experienced trauma (through trafficking, living with dementia, domestic and sexual abuse, and homelessness).

If you are a passionate leader who believes in the power of the creative arts to transform lives, are a natural team leader who loves to work with others, have experience working with vulnerable people, love to devise and develop creative arts workshops and training sessions, and are willing to work flexibly with therapeutic intent but outside a clinical framework, this may be the role for you.

We are seeking an artist and/or arts therapist (from any creative arts background) with experience in integrative arts practice to steer Talitha’s therapeutic arts workshops and training. The ideal candidate will have a qualification in a therapeutic arts field such as Art, Drama, Dance, and will be passionate about the power of the creative arts to bring healing, restoration and transformation.

Talitha is a charity with Christian foundations, and while this position is open to those of all faiths and none, we are seeking someone who is sympathetic to our Christian roots and values. 

At Talitha, we recognise the inequity regarding employment and opportunities brought about by structural oppression and marginalisation. Thus, we encourage and warmly welcome applications from underrepresented groups such as ethnic minorities, those with disabilities and LGBTQI+ candidates.

The Big Issue mission is to dismantle poverty by creating opportunity through self-help, social trading and business solutions – a “hand up, not a hand out”. We provide an “access to all” means for people to earn a legitimate source of income, to raise their self-esteem and to take control of their lives. One of the ways we do this is through supporting vendors to sell The Big Issue magazine. Last year alone, we put £5.5m in the pockets of our vendors, releasing them from a dependency on hand outs.

The Big Issue Foundation supports vendors (and increasingly others) with “wrap around support”- health, housing, debt, addiction, mental health, financial inclusion, and employability. We do this by connecting vendors with the vital support services, personal solutions, Big Issue programmes and employment pathways, that enable them to rebuild their lives and determine their own futures – welcome to our community.

You’ll draw on your considerable previous high-level experience of leading change successfully. This will give you the strength and understanding of how to shape direction and strategy, and take people with you to build a focussed, strong, vibrant, and empowered team.

You’ll enjoy autonomy and like working on your initiative but will also enjoy working as part of a team. You’ll be well supported by the CEO and broader leadership team. You’ll be solution focussed and tenacious, and at the same time open, agile, and happy to adjust your thinking and direction as new opportunities or ideas present.

You will bring extensive experience of working in the charity or social sector in order to and understand what it means to support vulnerable client groups. You will need to be able to effectively navigate and network at a senior level in charities, community organisations, social services, and local authorities, proactively identifying, forging, and retaining strong networks on behalf of our customers.

You will also be able to demonstrate proven experience in leading and developing personalised service delivery strategies and business plans at a senior level in a charity, social enterprise, social service, or health care organisation.

We are very excited to be recruiting a new Director of Student Experience at Liverpool John Moores University Students’ Union.

We’re here to support more than 26,000 students every year that come to study at Liverpool John Moores University. Their circumstances, experiences and aspirations are varied, but we have a simple vision for them all: that they feel happy and confident, during, and at the end of their time at University. We want them to have the best student experience possible, from start to finish.

We are an independent charity, with an annual turnover of around £1.1m per year and offer a wide range of opportunities, services and support to help students get the most out of their time at University. This covers everything from social activities to making sure everything's going right on their academic course. We have over 100 student groups and our work is entirely led by students. Our students are diverse, creative, committed and passionate about their studies, their university and their city.

We’ve recently been through a period of change to ensure we are set up well to deliver effectively for our students. As with many organisations, the last 18-months have been challenging for both our staff and our students. We're really excited about the next year and have some amazing opportunities ahead of us. We're in the process of developing a new strategic plan to launch in 2022, which will drive the organisation into the future.

As Director of Student Experience, you will help us to drive a fantastic experience for all of our students and student leaders. You’ll be part of our Senior Leadership Team and will manage key relationships with our elected student officers and colleagues in the University.

We’re looking for people who recognise JMSU is student-led and that want to help empower students to shape their own opportunities and priorities. You don't necessarily need a background in students’ unions as long as you share our values and passion for what we do, ensuring we are relevant to, and at the heart of, the student experience. You’ll help us to unlock the potential already existing within JMSU through our elected officers, staff and student volunteers. Through our student leadership, you will ensure there is a clear vision for JMSU to become a transformational organisation, impacting at every level of the student and University community.

If you're passionate about embracing the opportunities that being our next Director of Student Experience offers, we’d love to hear from you.
