Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here. 

At Bath Cats and Dogs Home we believe every cat and dog should enjoy a healthy life and a happy home. Our charity shops are an important presence on the high street, raising precious funds to support our mission and connecting us to the communities in which we work.

Could you help us create a first-class customer experience at one of our shops? Are you driven by a desire to make our world a kinder place for animals?

If you want to be part of a dynamic team of staff and volunteers, and make a significant impact on the lives of the most in-need cats and dogs, please get in touch.

As Manager, you'll be the driving force behind your shop's success. You'll work closely with the Retail Operations Manager to develop and deliver strategies to maximise donations and sales, and to connect customers with the charity and the impact of their support.

You’ll be responsible for managing stock, merchandising and charity messaging. And you’ll motivate your team of staff and volunteers to deliver excellent customer service and meet sales targets.

Role: Head of Partnerships and Programme Funding

Location: Flexible within TT country offices (UK, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh)

Salary Band 2: £50,000-56,000 FTE dependent on experience, plus London Weighting if applicable

Transform Trade (TT) supports producers across the world – helping them to build a bright future for their communities and fight for a fairer trade system.

Through a combination of direct grants, long-term support, and advocacy, we help producer collectives and social enterprises to thrive – and show the world that a better way of doing business is possible.

We work across Africa and Asia, and our focus is on making change in the farming, fashion and tea sectors. 

This role will lead the development and delivery of TT’s programme funding and partner engagement strategy. You will be responsible for expanding and stewarding relationships across TT’s funders, particularly philanthropic funders and select public sector development partners (statutory donors) and growing our funding.

You will lead the design of high-quality, fundable initiatives built on participatory, equitable partnerships - ensuring those we serve help shape the solutions. Working with colleagues across regions, you will secure strategic funding from donors including Trusts and Foundations, statutory donors such as the EU, FCDO, SIDA, Danida, and pursue selective consortium contracts aligned with our mission and capacity.

This is both an external facing and internal catalytic role. We are looking for someone who combines strategic vision with hands-on delivery: a strong communicator who can turn complex ideas into compelling proposals, build partnerships based on trust and shared values, and navigate donor priorities with confidence.

You’ll also play a key role in defining Transform Trade’s “red lines” on full cost recovery, match funding, strategy and portfolio fit, while coordinating staff and a small pool of technical consultants to ensure excellence in programme design.

If you have a proven record in institutional fundraising and programme development, thrive in collaborative environments, and share our commitment to producer-led systemic change, we’d love to hear from you.

The charity’s vision is for the UK to be the best place in the world for people with a learning disability to live happy and healthy lives.

They're here to support people with a learning disability, their families and their carers. They fight for a kinder, fairer and more inclusive society for people with a learning disability to live in.

Everyone works with people with a learning disability either providing support or advice, or alongside one another as colleagues.

Belonging is for everyone, every day, everywhere.

· Everyone is expected to treat people well and make Mencap an inclusive organisation.

· Every day we grow and learn. It’s okay to make mistakes but we learn from them and make changes

· Everywhere people will feel respected, valued, and safe to be themselves.

We have Belonging network groups that meet online and are open to all colleagues. The groups include people who identify as Black and Asian, LGBTQIA+, disabled or with a long- term health condition, women, parents and carers, and their allies.

We want to encourage everyone to apply to work at Mencap and we offer a variety of different contract types and working patterns. We’re not looking for specific experience. It is your personality and values that will make you a great colleague. We will train and develop you to succeed in the role you’re applying for.

About the role:

This is a chance to stand alongside women experiencing multiple disadvantage such as violence against women and girls (VAWG), mental health challenges, substance misuse, offending behaviour, and physical health barriers. It is a chance to be part of the journey where safety, choice and confidence begin to return. In our Camden women’s accommodation service, you’ll build trusting relationships through gender and trauma informed support, working collaboratively with each woman to shape a pathway that reflects her strengths, priorities and hopes for the future. You’ll work closely with specialist partners and engage in multi-agency forums like MARAC to help reduce harm and create space for recovery, stability and new beginnings.

Each day will look different. You may be supporting someone to reconnect with education or work, linking a client into mental health or substance use services, arranging access to healthcare or encouraging involvement in meaningful activities that rebuild identity and community. Through one-to-one support, group sessions and practical life skills development, you’ll help women sustain their accommodation, strengthen wellbeing and expand their networks and independence.

We’re looking for someone who brings energy, compassion and determination. At Single Homeless Project (SHP), you’ll be backed to grow, with real progression pathways and the opportunity to develop practice across multiple disadvantage. The work you do here will ripple outwards - shaping individual futures, influencing wider systems and helping us continue to drive change for women experiencing homelessness in London.

For roles in our women's services we ask for female only applicants. For occupational requirement reasons (exemption under the Equality Act 2010; Schedule 9 Part 1). 

About you:

• A solid understanding of person-centred approaches, harm minimisation, and trauma-informed care.
• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build meaningful relationships with clients, empowering them to engage with community resources and take positive steps forward.
• Flexibility, creativity, and resilience in working with a sometimes challenging and hard-to-engage client group.
• Proven experience and skills in delivering highly personalised assessment and casework, support planning, goal setting, advocacy, and the ability to apply this in a caseload of clients who find it difficult to engage in formal keywork and where there are barriers to accessing statutory support.

About us:

Single Homeless Project is a London-wide charity. Our vision is of a society where everyone has a place to call home and the chance to live a fulfilling life.

We help single Londoners by preventing homelessness, providing support and accommodation, promoting wellbeing, enhancing opportunity, and being a voice for change. From supporting people in crisis to helping people take the final steps towards independence and employment, we make a difference to 10,000 lives every year across all 32 boroughs.

We offer you more than a job; we offer you a chance to be part of a compassionate, driven team that's committed to making a real difference in people's lives. You'll have the opportunity to lead, co-create, and inspire change while enjoying a collaborative, growth-oriented environment.

Join us in creating a brighter, more hopeful future for individuals in need.
