About us

More than half the world lives in poverty. Poverty is an outrage against humanity. It robs people of dignity, freedom and hope, of power over their own lives. Christian Aid has a vision - to eradicating extreme poverty, dismantling its root causes across the world, and enabling the voice and agency of the poor and marginalised to be fully realised - and we believe that vision can become a reality. We are striving to bring lasting change to the lives of the poorest and marginalised communities. We work wherever there is great need, helping people to find their own solutions to the problems they face, irrespective of their religion, caste or creed.

Humanitarian work is central to Christian Aid's mission. Responding to the urgent needs of crisis-affected communities and giving them the means to stand on their own feet is exactly why Christian Aid was created. Programmes and modalities will be dependent on context. But the foundation of our work will not differ. We place the people directly affected at the centre of our decision-making processes, our project design and programme strategies and we focus on nurturing their agency and dignity.

Our history is also marked by being there before, during and after an emergency to save lives. We have been committed to locally-led response. In recent years, this way of working has been recognised across the sector as critical to responding effectively to humanitarian crises. The leading role we have played, in the ACT Alliance and other humanitarian forums, is the most recent manifestation of this commitment. We have been at the forefront of developing innovative ways of working in emergencies and assisting communities by improving their emergency preparedness. We have played a leading role in the development of accountability to affected populations over the past 10 years; this is central to our belief in putting the agency of people at the centre of our work

A core geographical focus for this role will be overseeing our humanitarian programming in LAC and working with country team and programme funding colleagues to mobilise additional resources for humanitarian work in LAC from a low base over time. Because our humanitarian portfolio in LAC is currently modest, it is anticipated that 50% of the post-holder's time will apply to work in LAC, and 50% to supporting other crisis in other parts of the world as and where Christian Aid requires additional humanitarian management capacity. The post holder will work with the Regional/Country Teams and partners to develop humanitarian programmes ensuring appropriate funding is in place and that Core Humanitarian Standards for quality and accountability are met.

The role is part of the Humanitarian Division in Christian Aid but works alongside colleagues across the International department. They work closely with senior staff in country programmes. The Global Humanitarian Manger will play the lead role in specific responses at the direction of the Head of Humanitarian response.

The work can be high pressured and high profile both internally and externally during major emergency responses. When it is feasible, the post holder needs to be willing and able to travel at short notice for up to 3 months per year with assignments not usually longer than 6 weeks.

About you

The successful candidate will have a strong personal commitment to Christian Aid's agenda of putting affected populations at the centre of their own response and recovery and empowering local organisations to take a stronger role. You will have significant knowledge of humanitarian issues and best practice in humanitarian action. You will have experience leading both rapid response and chronic emergencies or managing programmes to build resilient communities.

You will have an excellent understanding of the CHS, SPHERE and other humanitarian standards. You will have multi-country humanitarian programme support experience. You will have professional fluency in written and spoken English. You will have a proven ability to contribute to and work successfully as part of management and cross organisational teams with excellent time management and the ability to work with challenging deadlines and to multi tasks.

You will be self-motivated, with personal resilience and the ability to sustain performance. You will have high written and oral communication skills. You will have a proven ability to develop and maintain successful working relationships with a range of colleagues and contacts at senior and more junior levels. You will have experience of emergency programme cycle management from needs assessment, through funding applications, management, review and evaluation.

Location: GMYN offices in central Manchester, with flexible homeworking arrangements if the candidate prefers.

Who are GMYN?

For many young people, the transition to adulthood isn’t easy. In the UK, one third of young people are lonely, half feel unready for work and half feel like they don’t belong to their community.

Our vision is #YoungPeopleCan and we help young people in Greater Manchester overcome this. We deliver a range of development programmes and drop-in activities to help young people aged 13-25 transition to adulthood feeling skilled, supported and positive.

Fundraising at GMYN

GMYN is in a strong position with an annual income of approximately £850k, funded by a diverse mix of grants, contracts, as well as community and corporate donations. Over the past five years, we have been committed to investing in our fundraising activity, resulting in a period of sustainability. Our new fundraising team was recognised as a success and we were awarded Highly Commended Fundraising Team of the Year at the North West Charity Awards 2019.

In 2020, a challenging year for income generation across the sector, we successfully developed a new fundraising approach, winning new funding for GMYN core costs alongside our consistently growing and developing programme delivery. Now, in 2021, after five years of successful fundraising development, we are in an exciting position to restructure and grow our fundraising team further.

To Apply:

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, even if you don’t feel like your experience ticks every box on the person specification. While we are looking for some specific skills, we are much more interested in attitude, personal qualities and passion.

We also know that different people have relevant experience from many different aspects of life: at GMYN, we value lived experience just as much as we value experience gained through employment, volunteering or study.

Essential Criteria:

• Proven experience of fundraising or other income generation work with demonstrable transferable skills.
• Proven experience of working to targets and meeting objectives and KPI’s.
• Experience of developing and managing partnerships where you have been able to gain new supporters, patrons to your cause.
• Ability to use a range of fundraising techniques related to securing unrestricted and restricted funding.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and spoken with the ability to present confidently.
• Ability to self-manage, work independently to targets but also join up your work with the rest of the fundraising team.
• Ability to manage multiple deadlines and workstreams with a “can do” attitude in order to produce positive results.
• Passion and drive to support and represent GMYN and its support programmes for young people to other audiences.

Desirable Criteria:

• Knowledge of the Voluntary and Community sector and fundraising environment.
• Experience of delivery and management of fundraising events.
• Experience of using IT: key social media platforms, CRM/contact databases, the Microsoft Office Suite.

Whilst our staff team is diverse in many ways, we recognise that we are not currently representative of the diverse communities that we serve. We are currently working with specialist charities to adapt our practices to make sure that anyone, no matter their background, can work with us to their fullest potential. We therefore welcome applications from people from BAME backgrounds and people who identify as having additional needs or disabilities.

This is a great opportunity for someone who’s passionate about changing the outcomes for young people and the youth sector and ensuring they are at the centre of our work.

This is an exciting and busy time to be joining UK Youth as we have just launched our new strategy “Unlocking Youth Work” which outlines a bold ambition to impact young lives by unlocking youth work as a catalyst for change. As a result,  we are recruiting for a number of new roles designed to enable the organisation to grow, improve our ways of working and enable us to deliver to deliver our ambitious 2025 strategic plan.

This role will work to develop and deliver a range of opportunities and activities to build and develop cross-sector networks across the UK Youth Movement. This role will report into the Network Engagement Manager and will develop positive relationships with youth organisations and young people across the UK so that our work is driven by the voices of youth workers and young people.

You will identify, create and deliver new and innovative ways of working to retain youth organisation and young people’s engagement, using digital platforms to build communities and connect networks across the UK Youth.

Who we are

UK Youth is a leading charity that exists to ensure all young people are equipped to thrive and empowered to contribute at every stage of their lives. We work with others to ensure that the youth sector is strengthened, supported, and that provision is youth-led, evidence-informed and delivers high-quality outcomes.

UK Youth plays a unique role in addressing; the lack of investment in the youth sector, the lack of cross sector understanding in how youth work makes a difference and the limited opportunities to embed effective solutions. These factors lead to mass inequality of access to youth services for young people. To find more about us and how we make an impact, please visit UK Youth Website.
