The opportunity

Company and Institute overview
First licensed in 1394, The Salters’ Company has its origins in the salt trade of medieval London. This later developed to a commitment to chemistry and, more broadly, science education. The Salters’ Institute of Industrial Chemistry, a charitable organisation within the Company, was founded as a response to the education of soldiers returning from WW1. Since 1918 the Institute has established a reputation for excellence, working with a range of partners including the Royal Society of Chemistry and the University of York. The Institute’s influence stretches across the world. Its aims are clear: to promote the appreciation of, and interest in, chemistry and the related sciences amongst young people and to encourage chemistry-based careers. The Salters’ Institute delivers numerous initiatives including its Festivals of Chemistry, Awards Programme, and Curriculum Development. In 2020, the Institute launched its new Education Strategy in which the Awards and Alumni Programme Manager has a key role.
The role
The Programme Manager, reporting to the Head of Education, has responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Institute’s Awards and Alumni Programme. The Programme Manager will maintain the existing portfolio of awards, and explore new strategies and activity to engage current and previous Salters’ Award and Prize winners.

VCH is recruiting a Best Practice Adviser in Volunteer Management to support the hundreds of community groups and charities that are delivering vital services across Hackney.
Over the last year, multiple frontline groups have sprung up to deliver essential supplies and services to people suffering the impact of COVID, while hundreds more charities continue to deliver essential programmes for residents to help people live better lives. Many of these groups are overrun with demand, and may benefit from support and guidance to develop programmes to ensure the effective and efficient recruitment and support of volunteers.

A superb opportunity to help us increase the impact that volunteers make within the NHS at St Mary's and Western Eye Hospitals in Paddington by growing our volunteer community and improving the quality of experience for volunteers and staff alike to provide patients with the care and support they deserve.
About us
We're Imperial Health Charity, an organisation that helps our hospitals do more through grants, arts, volunteering and fundraising. We support the five hospitals of Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust: Charing Cross, Hammersmith, Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea, St Mary’s and the Western Eye.
During the height of the covid-19 pandemic surge during 2020 we channelled the huge outpouring of kindness from the public into vital wellbeing support for NHS staff and a better hospital experience for thousands of patients. Volunteers played a pivotal role in supporting our efforts during this time, for which we were awarded a Mayor of London Volunteering Award in the Crisis Response category.
About our volunteering programme
We’ve just completed our 2017-2020 volunteering strategy and we’re proud of what we’ve achieved over the last three years:
- engaged nearly 1000 volunteers
- appointed over 700 new volunteers
- achieved the Investing In Volunteers standard in volunteering management
- ran a successful youth volunteering programme for 16 to 25-year-olds, with 169 volunteers taking part
- during our most recent annual volunteering survey, 95% of volunteers agreed that their expectations of volunteering with us had been met.
Our approach is one of partnership, working with our hospitals, bringing our knowledge and expertise on engaging volunteers successfully, together with the hospital’s needs and expertise in managing health and care safely.
During 2020, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic we successfully managed an emergency response at our hospitals, engaging over 330 Crisis Response Volunteers (most of whom we recruited during the pandemic). Since the start of 2021 we have been working with our NHS partners to deploy our Reserve Crisis Response Volunteers as well as restart recruitment efforts so that we can support our hospitals as they roll out the vaccine, continue to treat increasing numbers of patients affected by the virus and help keep the health service running, in spite of the current pressures.
The Volunteering Manager role
As the Volunteering Manager, you will oversee the day-to-day running of the volunteering programme at St Mary’s and the Western Eye hospitals.
Building strong relationships across the Trust, you will empower volunteers to provide a high-quality experience for patients and staff and, in doing so, have an outstanding and highly-rewarding volunteering experience.
Day to day you will find yourself doing the following:
- Recruiting, training and supporting volunteers
- Identifying new areas for engaging volunteers
- Helping to project manage the design and introduction of new volunteer roles
- Supporting hospital staff who are working with, managing and/or supporting volunteers
- Developing training and guidance resources
- Providing support and line management to the Volunteering Support Officer
What we are looking for
You will be someone who thrives in a fast-paced and people-focused environment, with experience of working with and managing volunteers and volunteering programmes/roles. You will have strong experience of working methodically and within project management principles, with a keen eye for accuracy and attention to detail. You will enjoy juggling multiple projects, priorities and stakeholder expectations in order to deliver a high-quality service. You will have strong IT and systems skills with experience using digital CRM, project management and/or training systems. You will enjoy and be confident in creating and delivering training and presentations to different audiences. You are someone who plans and reflects, but who also is ready to get stuck in and help fix a problem if it arises, including resolving concerns or disputes between people.
If this sounds like you and you're looking for a new challenge then we'd love to hear from you.

Being a young person right now can be hard. The challenges they face are complex and fast moving and the services that exist to support them are being drastically cut. STI rates are rising and complex safeguarding concerns are multiplying, stretching an underfunded health system to its limit. The impact of lockdown is being keenly being felt and the long-term consequences are impossible to predict.
And while there has been some reduction in the stigma, there is still a long way to go before the general public are sympathetic to young people’s rights to good sexual health provision and relationship support.
Brook is an ambitious and dynamic charity that is passionate about improving the lives of young people. Last year we supported 1.4 million under 25s to manage their sexual health and wellbeing and we know our work is needed more than ever.
About the role
As part of Brook’s programme of digital transformation, Brook is committed to developing a robust suite of digital education resources, designed with the aim of improving young people’s health, relationships and lives.
In 2019/20, Brook staff delivered face-to-face education to around 128,000 young people and face-to-face training sessions to 8,500 professionals. The events of 2020 have naturally forced a move to remote delivery but Brook has embraced this challenge and made huge progress in adapting its offer. That progress rests on our commitment to supporting professionals as RSE becomes mandatory in schools, the highly successful launch of our elearning platform - Brook Learn and our ambitions to create a digital RSE programme for young people.
We’re looking for an experienced digital professional who shares our passion for education and health, believes in young people, and who is excited by the prospect of helping us achieve our goals.
Key areas for focus will be:
Brook Learn
We have been steadily growing our portfolio of self-directed courses to help support teachers in the delivery of excellent relationship and sex education, since 2016. Registered users of Brook Learn have more than doubled since March 2020 to 9,000 and part of your role will be to support these users. You will also manage the Moodle platform and will be required to produce data and usage reports.
Many Brook Learn courses are free of charge but we have a growing paid-for offer and part of your role will be to identify opportunities to promote and expand this. You will also lead reviews of existing content and support/lead the commissioning of new courses – including development of content, working with academics, experts and our education team to ensure the content is evidence-based and effective.
Professionals-facing sections of the Brook website
As our offer and ambitions grow, a key part of your role will be to manage the sections of the Brook website concerned with the effective promotion and marketing of our offers to professionals. You will maintain a suite of free resources (such as our handouts) as well as managing the shop, through which professionals can purchase places on training courses and access to self-directed courses. You will also manage Google Ads designed to drive traffic to this content.
Digital RSE offer for young people
A key part of Brook’s strategy is to launch a young-person facing digital RSE offer. Part of your role will be to support with this at a strategic level – identifying opportunities for partnership and collaboration and leading with the creation and curation of content and resources.
Supporting colleagues
As we have moved to delivering in new ways, there will be an ongoing requirement to support colleagues for example, through training in the use of video platforms and associated booking systems and supporting them to adapt their training and education materials for remote delivery. The role also requires close working with the Business Development Team to support their sales and customer management.
To be successful in this role, you’ll have:
- Significant experience of effectively managing digital products and services
- Experience of the education and/or health sector
- Excellent project management skills and the confidence to train and support colleagues to embrace, promote and use our resources
- A clear and engaging communication style, with the ability to influence and build relationships across the organisation
You'll need to hit the ground running and be happy and comfortable wearing lots of different hats and moving between various live projects. You'll be happy to get your hands dirty but will be passionate about shaping our digital future.
In return, Brook can offer you a supportive, structured working environment with clear objectives to meet but with the freedom to operate independently and think creatively. We pride ourselves on being a hardworking but fun team.
To apply
Please send us your CV and a cover letter explaining why you would like to apply for this role and what you think you would bring to it. You can do this through Charity Jobs or via the Brook website
Interviews will take place online on 2/3/4 February. Please indicate if you are unavailable on all of these dates.

Disability Rights UK (DR UK) is a charity with our office based in the Olympic Park in East London. We occupy a unique position as the only national organisation led by disabled people. 90% of our trustees have lived experience of disability, as do the majority of our staff and volunteers. We describe ourselves as ‘disabled people leading change’.
Our charitable objectives include breaking the link between poverty and disability and challenging negative perceptions in society. We work to reduce the additional barriers that disabled people face. Evidence of injustice and inequality that we gather is taken forward into our policy and campaigning work.
We offer advice and information services to disabled people and member organisations. Our website reaches one million people each year with factsheets on subjects such as welfare benefits, housing, education, transport and accessing legal advice.
DR UK runs a range of innovative projects, working with partners including other Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), to demonstrate new approaches to disabled people’s participation. For example, we have a successful model of working with disabled people, local DPOs, social workers and Sport England to change attitudes, perceptions and practices around physical activity and wellbeing.

The role
This is an exciting time to join us. This newly created post is designed to build our digital fundraising, grow the number of individuals actively supporting DR UK and increase income from trusts and foundations. You will be asked to come up with as many effective, innovative and engaging fundraising approaches as possible to help achieve these aims.
DR UK has continued working at full capacity during the pandemic:
- supporting disabled people contacting our helplines
- producing special Covid-19 supplements for the advice sector
- creating high level channels for feeding the experiences of disabled people into emerging national policy and practice
Motivation and communication across staff teams has never been better – being already used to remote working and having a strong unity of purpose at this time.
As our Fundraising Manager, you will have a unique opportunity to influence the design of new systems and ways of working. This will include helping shape the development of our digital strategy and the fundraising aspects of our new website, to be launched in the second half of 2021.
To fulfil this wide-ranging role, we are seeking a highly creative, determined and enthusiastic fundraising all-rounder, with the ability to lead on income generating activities, while working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation.
You will report to and work with our Head of Business Development to make sure fundraising activities meet annual targets, raise DR UK’s profile and enhance our reputation in line with our values.
In return we offer a highly competitive salary, employer pension, flexi-working and an informal, inclusive and modern workplace within the Here East innovation zone on the edge of the London Olympic Park. There will be opportunities for training and personal development.
To apply, please send your current CV together with a cover letter, outlining why you want this job and addressing each point in the person specification. Should you wish to apply using another format, please contact us. Otherwise, applications without a suitable cover letter will not be considered.
