What a time to join Team Boobs! This mat cover role, at this time in history, is a fantastic opportunity for someone to help CoppaFeel! emerge from some strange times and look forward to making our income as sustainable as possible and back up to what it needs to be, to get the UK boob checking again.

This role is required to oversee CoppaFeel!’s fundraising strategy, ensure targets are planned and met, ensure reforecasting is accurate and to contribute significantly to the leadership of the organisation as a member of the Senior Management Team. Let’s face it, in current times, that’s going to take some innovation, initiative and tenacity. The right candidate will continually develop and implement both a sustainable fundraising approach and a reactive approach (we are after all, living through a global pandemic) to securing funding to allow us to deliver our charitable objectives as best we can right now. 

Whilst covering the maternity leave, you will also be identifying areas of potential focus, opportunities to improve, and throughout the contract, using your unique and differing expertise to add huge value to CoppaFeel! and the team at a real time of need and opportunity. We believe that there really are opportunities for innovation and new income in areas of fundraising we haven’t historically focussed on.

We are looking to recruit a Director of Communications to be part of our dynamic team. The Director of Communications will be responsible for overseeing Yachad’s communications and helping to maintain and build our public profile through our campaigning and advocacy work. Reporting to the Director, the post holder will oversee communications with the different stakeholders that we engage with. This includes activists and donors, media (mainstream and Jewish media), parliamentary and political contacts, and our partners in the region. They will work with the Director to develop and implement Yachad’s advocacy campaigns, leading on the delivery of campaign communication strategy. The post-holder will, alongside other staff members, act as an organisational spokesperson

The mission of St Francis Leprosy Guild is to contribute to the alleviation of the suffering caused by leprosy throughout the world, by encouraging and enabling Catholics to embrace leprosy sufferers and meet their needs, following the example of St Francis.

Despite the development of successful multi-drug therapy, leprosy has not been beaten – yet. By the year 2000 the number of new cases had reduced to around 200,000 annually. But the rate of reduction has levelled off to about the same level each year since then. The challenge today is to reach out to detect cases of leprosy where and when they emerge, so that transmission of the disease can be prevented. Successful outreach to detect new cases means training local primary health care workers in leprosy detection and treatment.

The Guild may be a small organisation, but as the leading Catholic charity working in this field we are having a significant impact. The outreach projects that we have been able to support were involved in detecting nearly 2% of the world’s new cases of leprosy last year alone. An end to leprosy is tantalisingly in sight and the Guild is determined to play a part.
​
Following a thorough strategic review in 2017, the Guild has reconfigured around a new strategy that is focused less on recurring ‘maintenance grants’ to projects, and more on outreach projects that contribute to the goal of ending leprosy. It has reconstituted as a CIO, introduced safeguarding policies for all overseas partners, and instigated a successful donor recruitment campaign. The charity has also begun a parliamentary advocacy programme.

The current Director has informed the Trustees that he wishes to retire by the end of 2020. The charity therefore seeks a new Director to build on this process of transformation, and help us seek out ways of spending our money wisely, in particular through support for active case finding projects. Whoever takes on the Director role will be joining an exciting organisation with serious growth potential, at a significant moment in its development.

We offer a competitive salary for this post, and trustees are open to either a full time or part time option.

Overview:

Women for Women International works in some of the most dangerous places to be a woman. We serve women survivors of war in conflict and post-conflict areas around the world in 8 countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Eastern Congo, and Northern Nigeria. Our core belief is that stronger women build stronger nations; and with access to knowledge, resources, and a support network, a woman rebuilds her life and improves her community.

Our model works and we have the data to prove it. In our 26-year history, Women for Women International has reached over half a million women. The women we work with across 3 continents earn just $0.81 a day when we enroll them. At graduation, it’s $2.11, nearly tripled.

Our impact goes beyond income. The number of women who say at least one household member went to sleep hungry in the last four weeks has gone from 18% to 5%. And more women say they speak out against women's abuse: 26% report having publicly spoken in the last 6 months against physically abusing women.

When women have the right tools, they realize the power within themselves to transform their lives, their families, their communities, and finally their entire nations.

Purpose:

Women for Women International has the ambition to dramatically increase grant funding to support programming that has been proven to be transformative for marginalized women survivors of war in fragile and conflict affected countries.

The global organization has strong teams that carry forward business development from the first identification of a prospect all the way through to the final grant report. This position is envisioned to help ensure that all the teams and the processes continue to work smoothly, efficiently and effectively.

Morden College is a Charity dedicated to supporting older people. Founded in 1695 by the pioneering merchant, Sir John Morden, the College has been at the forefront of enriching older people’s lives for more than 300 years.

Today our core purpose is to provide older people who are in need with a home for life, to support them as they grow older, and to provide care services, including residential care and residential nursing care, if the need arises. We are a strong community, committed to enabling the older people we support to have the highest quality of life, for the rest of their life.

For so many reasons this is a seminal moment for the care sector in our country; and in this respect Morden College is no exception. The successful candidate for this role will join us at a time of change, for certain; but also at a moment of huge opportunity for this Charity, and for the older people we are privileged to support.

The College is currently a few months from opening a new centre, the John Morden Centre, a beautifully designed and innovative space for older people to spend time in, to socialise and enjoy the wide range of facilities that will be provided there. This project itself seminal, a major undertaking that is focused solely on bettering the quality of life of older people, and enabling cultural change at Morden College.

During 2020, thus far, the focus of our operations has been to keep our circa 300 resident beneficiaries, and our staff, safe from the coronavirus. It has been an immense undertaking for our whole community of residents and staff but thankfully one that we have achieved without there being a single case of Covid-19 in any of our services.

The crisis has, however, taught us a great deal, challenged how we operate, how we think and our assumptions. We are therefore beginning a review of our organisation, and principle objectives, so that we learn from the experience of the crisis, with the aim of developing a vision for the future that will drive the Charity forward for the next few years.

It is an exciting time indeed, and whoever is appointed as the Charity’s next Director Health and Wellbeing will be centre stage, able to shape how the College develops, and lead a substantial team into the future.  It is a unique opportunity to forge new thinking, bring to fruition new ideas, and new ways of working.  

The Charity

Our partner is a leading national charity who provide life changing short breaks and holidays to families facing incredibly challenging circumstances. Their breaks are a chance for families to connect, revitalise and discover.

Covid-19, and the challenges of lockdown, mean that even more families are facing very difficult circumstances, and the need for the services that the charity provides is growing.

Since the charity was set up 45 years ago, they have enabled 52,000 families to take time out from their daily life – and just enjoy what many of us take for granted: fresh air, playing on the beach, eating ice cream.

Last year alone, 4,800 families took a vital break – some for the first time together as a family.
