Veganuary is the non-profit that encourages people to go vegan for the month of January - and beyond. We focus on changing consumer behaviours and attitudes, while providing lots of information and practical support - to make the transition to veganism as easy and enjoyable as possible.

We also work with businesses to drive up vegan food provisions in shops and restaurants and have made veganism more visible and accessible through our work with national and international media.

What we do

• Our Aim: A world without animal farms and slaughterhouses. A world where food production does not decimate forests, pollute rivers and oceans, exacerbate climate change and drive wild animal populations to extinction.
   
• Our Mission: To inspire and support people to try vegan, drive corporate change, and create a global mass movement, championing compassionate food choices with the aim of ending animal farming, protecting the planet, and improving human health.

We work toward our lofty ambitions by following a simple, 3-step plan:

1. Encouraging and supporting millions of people to try veganism.
    
2. Creating the necessary media and social media buzz to raise awareness of the topic and the benefits of a vegan lifestyle.
    
3. Encouraging companies to promote and launch more delicious vegan options to increase the quality, availability and visibility of vegan food.

How we do it

You’ll have no doubt seen our public campaigns for Veganuary, you may even have tried it yourself. We’re incredibly proud of the global movement we’ve built, and it continues to grow year-on-year.

The part of work you might be a little less familiar with is our work in influencing businesses. The more businesses speak positively about veganism and launch new vegan products, the better the availability, visibility and quality of vegan products becomes, making it easier and tastier to try vegan. This is inspiring more people to choose plant-based options and stick with it long term.

Amongst many others, we are incredibly proud to have worked with the following companies to increase their vegan offering:

• Deliveroo
• Cadbury
• McDonalds
• Starbucks

What we’re looking for

This is a reimagining of an existing role and represents an investment in the charity’s future. We are looking for someone who can work closely with the board and executive to devise and implement business plans that are robust enough to accommodate our rapid growth and flexible enough to take advantage of new opportunities.

You will lead on financial management, supervise and optimise the organisation’s operations in the UK, and support our growing international team in operational matters.

Playing a pivotal part in the Senior Management Team, you will be responsible for ensuring that Veganuary’s day-to-day operations - including governance, administration, HR, finance, legal and IT remain compliant, responsive and efficient.

Barnardo’s is the largest national children’s charity in the UK. We protect, support, and nurture the UK's vulnerable children. We help hundreds of thousands of children, young people, parents, and carers via our 800+ diverse services across the UK. The scale of what we do may be big and complex, but our aim is simple – to provide better outcomes for more children, no matter who they are or what they have been through. We are committed to working in partnership to reach more Children, Young People, and families.

Our current Director of Commercial & Business Development – Children’s Services will be leaving having developed a very successful directorate, and we are now seeking to recruit an exceptional candidate to build on our sector-leading commercial activity. Reporting to our Corporate Director of Development & Innovation, your key responsibilities will include:

• Aligning all areas of the business development and commercial strategy to support Barnardo’s vision, purpose, objectives, identifying opportunities and robust solutions.
• Providing strategic leadership and oversight of our commercial business lines operations, including our Family Placement, Gap Homes, and Employer Training Services businesses, with a combined 600 staff and turnover of £42m
• Developing and identifying new opportunities, markets, and solutions to achieve our organisation strategy and achieve better outcomes for Children and Young People
• Delivering commercial expertise and advice into high value and pan-regional bids and their implementation in partnership with regional and national Children Services operational teams, frontline services, and corporate teams
• Leading improvements to the quality of all tendering activity across Barnardo’s, which will continually increase the positive outcomes achieved through competitive bids
• As a senior leader, working with key stakeholders to develop and innovate our approach to strategic partnerships, system change and operational services to address the needs of Children and young people, commissioners, and funders

This is not a traditional business development role. The focus of your work will be strategic, proactive, market development, working closely with our partners and commissioners to co-design and co-produce interventions that change the system and deliver better outcomes for more children.

The successful candidate will have strong commercial acumen and be adept at identifying opportunities, creating partnerships, and assessing risk/reward. You will ideally have experience of working with children’s services or another setting where services work with high risk, vulnerable groups. You’ll need a good understanding of tendering and contracts in the public sector, and a breadth of operational leadership experience to provide oversight and support to the managers of our commercial businesses.

If you’re driven by a passion to make a difference to young people’s lives, we want to hear from you. Your ability to succeed in this role will have a tangible impact on children and young people both by directly raising income that funds our vital services, and by creating new approaches that can reach more children and young people.
