We are building a movement of change; galvanising likeminded individuals, organisations, government, and businesses from all sectors, to work together and deliver system change for all young people. Together we will create a society that understands, champions, and delivers effective youth work for all.

We offer a competitive range of benefits, good work/life balance, excellent learning and development opportunities and vibrant organisational culture:

• Flexible/Agile Working

• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata for part time employees)

Role Title: Senior Resilience and Climate Adviser 
Salary: £48,166 to 49,558 
Location: London-Hybrid 
Tenure: Full Time, Permanent

ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We work with our partners and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want

Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies? 

Are you committed to climate justice, women’s rights and shifting power to communities most affected by the climate crisis?

Do you have substantial experience in resilience and climate programming ?

Then we'd love to hear from you!

ActionAid UK is looking for a passionate and experienced Senior Resilience and Climate Adviser to join our Women, Peace and Security team. This is a unique opportunity to shape and strengthen our work on climate justice and resilience, bringing a distinctly feminist, anti-racist and decolonial perspective to one of the most important areas of global humanitarian and development work.

In this role, you will help drive ActionAid UK’s strategic thinking on resilience and climate across our programmes, research, and policy engagement. You will play a central part in defining how ActionAid UK positions itself within these thematic areas, supporting both UK-based influence and the wider international federation. A key aspect of your work will involve developing strong alliances across the sector, guiding organisational thinking on emerging issues such as anticipatory action and risk-based financing, and ensuring our approaches consistently reflect our values of shifting power and promoting women’s leadership. You will collaborate closely with colleagues across business development, providing technical insight to shape high-quality proposals and support strategic partnerships that align with ActionAid’s commitments to anti-racism and climate justice. You will also contribute to designing new concepts, strengthening tender submissions, and supporting the growth of innovative, values-driven programming.

Across programme quality and implementation, you will be a specialist resource for teams working in humanitarian and development contexts, offering targeted technical guidance that supports country programmes to deliver to ActionAid’s humanitarian signature: shifting power, accountability to affected communities, and women-led resilience. You will help shape monitoring, evaluation, learning and reporting processes, ensuring the organisation is continually improving how it generates and uses evidence.

Your work will also extend deeply into research and policy, where you will help build strategic research partnerships, promote decolonial approaches to evidence generation, and support the publication and sharing of learning within academic, governmental and practitioner spaces. You will inform policy positions and contribute to key engagements with governmental actors, including FCDO & global climate policy spaces (UNFCCC), always working in close partnership with ActionAid’s advocacy and policy teams. This role also plays a vital part in ActionAid’s campaigning work. You will provide leadership for the UK chapter of the Federation’s Global Climate Justice Campaign, chairing the Steering Committee, supporting research that underpins the campaign’s messaging, and helping to deliver effective collaboration with ActionAid Federation Members. As needed, you will act as a spokesperson to amplify ActionAid’s climate justice messages to the media and the wider public.

Externally, you will represent ActionAid within UK and global spaces, building relationships with like-minded organisations and identifying opportunities to elevate ActionAid’s influence and visibility on resilience and climate justice.

To succeed in this role, you will bring substantial experience of working in humanitarian contexts on resilience and climate programming, ideally with an international organisation. You should have a deep understanding of humanitarian architecture, key donors, and external standards, as well as hands-on experience with resilience approaches such as disaster risk reduction, climate adaptation, sustainable agriculture or natural resource management. A strong grounding in feminist and human-rights-based approaches is essential, along with a clear understanding of anti-racism and what it means to decolonise aid in practice. You should be comfortable supporting teams, conducting analysis, generating research, communicating complex ideas with clarity, and representing an organisation publicly. The role will also require regular overseas travel, sometimes to insecure environments at short notice.

A postgraduate degree, experience in Africa, Asia or the Middle East, additional languages and academic publications are all beneficial but not essential.

If you are committed to feminist principles, passionate about climate justice, and looking for a role where your expertise can influence real systems change, ActionAid UK would love to hear from you.

This role requires regular travel into central London for meetings, parliamentary engagement and external events. Some international travel is also expected.

Switchback is built on the transformational power of trusted relationships – and that applies to our supporters and partners too. As we get ready to launch our next strategic plan, we’re looking for a new Head of Development to help us grow an even stronger supporter base across the full fundraising landscape, ranging from philanthropy to corporate partnerships, to trusts and foundations.

We are an ambitious team who want to make a huge difference, both to the lives of the young men we support and to society through transforming the justice system.

As Head of Development and a member of the Leadership Team, you will play a key role in shaping and leading a new and ambitious Development Strategy to secure the resources we need to grow our frontline and influencing impact. You’ll lead on supporting and galvanizing our small but mighty Development Team to grow their skills and Switchback’s income. You’ll oversee our development systems and processes, maintaining our trajectory of growth to ensure we remain sustainable in future years. And you’ll understand how to interpret and use our robust data and compelling Trainee journeys to make a compelling case for support to the full range of existing and potential supporters.

We’ve grown our income from £1m in 2022 to £1.5m in 2025 and know that further growth requires a clear development strategy which engages supporters in our vision for transforming more lives through better resettlement policy and practice.

This is an exciting role for a first-time leader - you will be fully supported by an experienced CEO and a collaborative Leadership Team, with a focus on your professional development. You’ll be joining at an exciting time of growth and building on a strong fundraising track record.
Our ambitious new strategic plan aims to support more Londoners than ever by 2030 and build the evidence for transforming national resettlement policy, with a staff team of 30 dedicated individuals aiming to push forward that vision. We are a hands-on, collaborative team, so you’ll need to enjoy getting stuck in with everything from bid writing to pitching to building our pipeline of prospective supporters.

We are seeking someone with a strong track record in building long-term funding relationships, who can apply that skill across the whole fundraising landscape, including with both institutions (corporates, trusts and foundations, and statutory grants) and individuals (high net worth philanthropists and individual regular donors).

You’ll be a confident bid writer who can guide your team in producing high quality applications and funder reports. You’ll be happy to absorb and build on Switchback’s style and continuously promote our gold standard of stewardship, which bolsters Switchback’s funder base.

Joining Switchback means you will also work closely with all members of our dedicated team, giving you a unique perspective that will support your work in demonstrating to funders how and why their support matters, and how supporting Switchback will help them meet their own charitable aims.

If you are an experienced, successful and creative fundraiser with a track record in building long-term relationships and who shares our values and vision, we would love to hear from you.
