You will be responsible for carrying out a successful program of fundraising from small, medium and large charitable trusts and foundations to an agreed annual fundraising target. You will also assist in delivering Baobab’s individual major donor programme, helping to set up and deliver communications and events related to this income stream. You will work closely with our operations team to gain an overview of all aspects of Baobab’s work. Working in a collaborative team with the Operations and Fundraising Manager and senior fundraising consultant, you will be a central part of this small team and contribute to discussions on Baobab’s fundraising plans and strategy.

This role is for 4 or 5 days per week depending on your preference, it will include Friday which is when staff meetings are held.

Please read the below alongside the full Job Description and Person Specification attached.

Mental Health:  All of the young people Baobab supports suffer significant mental health and developmental difficulties and many function in an unstable and more immature way than their chronological age. Due to their experiences it takes time to gain trust from the young people in our community. As a core member of our team, you will understand the impact of specific human rights abuses on the development of children and young people in exile and their individual experiences of loss, trauma and grief on their mental health and well-being. 

Baobab’s Model: Please read the accompanying ‘Baobab Context and Model’ document for a detailed introduction. It often takes a significant amount of time to understand Baobab’s model of working, which aims for rehabilitation and justice through attending to both the internal and external world of each young. It is important that you strive to have an insight to the experiences of both the internal and external factors impacting on the lives of unaccompanied young people attending our centre. It is also important that you understand the ways in which UK society and policy impacts on young asylum seekers (including invisibility, marginalisation, discrimination, and the fact of waiting in uncertainty for a long time).

Multi-disciplinary Working: Baobab aims to be a reflective, thinking organisation and we place a high value on shared thinking time, sharing responsibilities and working together with others. A key aspect of the role is communicating and working in a holistic way.

Are you passionate about delivering excellent mental health support? Based at the Littlemore Mental Health Centre, Restore's Littlemore Café and Shop opened in 2013 and provides a therapeutic environment and work-like setting for patients. 

Every year, Restore works with over 500 people across Oxfordshire, supporting them on their mental health recovery journey including helping them plan for the future. We're looking for an outstanding Recovery Coordinator to lead the day-to-day running of our Littlemore recovery group, and continue the delivery of a high quality and effective service that achieves positive outcomes for participants.

We are committed to creating a supportive working environment where you can thrive and grow. We invest in learning and development opportunities to ensure you can provide the best possible support to our members (service users), and continuously develop as a practitioner.
