We offer our knowledge and experience of the sector to help the agencies become more sustainable. We also work with other grant-making bodies.

We are seeking an experienced fundraiser to develop a philanthropic and corporate programme, forging new relationships and building on established connections which exist through our exceptional events programme, and London Legal Walk, which raised £895,000 in 2019.

Do you want to use your excellent communications skills to build relationships with people who can give significant gifts to this inspiring cause? Do you have experience of meeting and exceeding income targets across a range of income streams?  We are looking for someone who can fluence and motivate others, build positive relationships with key stakeholders and work collaboratively throughout the organisation.

Working in a small, friendly and energetic team, you will be able to make a significant contribution from the start. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to have a real impact on the fundraising, communications output, marketing and organising of events. You will work very closely with the CEO of LLST as well as Head of Fundraising and the Events Manager.

We encourage flexible working and part-time options for the right candidates, including job-shares if the right mix of experience can be found.

As our Fundraising Research and Operations Manager you'll support both our Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships teams. These teams provide expert support to fundraisers in the areas of finance, data analysis, prospect research and pipeline management, database usage, high value audience events, and stewardship and cultivation approaches. Ultimately this role will help to enable fundraisers to attract, engage and retain the BHF’s highest value supporters through the development of strategic funding propositions that reflect these supporters’, P&P’s and BHF’s priorities.

As every high-value supporter is unique, this is a varied role that covers both research and operations responsibilities in support of the Corporate Partnerships team.

As well as working with the finance and data teams to forecast team income, using the CRM database to plan and track approaches to donors for financial support.

Our success comes from the strength we draw from colleagues across our teams, directorate, and the organisation. The fundraiser does not face the prospect, donor, or corporate alone; they are supported and prepared for the challenge by those who have identified the opportunity right through to others who have shaped their case for support or proposal.

As our upward trajectory continues, we must build capacity and capability to support the evolving needs of our expanding philanthropic and corporate supporter base.

It also helps the person responsible to see the real impact of their actions and encourages them to change their behaviour. Restorative Justice is managed by trained facilitators and can be used to address any crime or conflict, as long as both parties consent. It is not used as a substitute for other measures, and can take place while people are serving time in prison.

WASTEAID – PARTNERSHIPS AND ENGAGEMENT MANAGER

About WasteAid

The Challenge

90% of waste in low-income countries is openly dumped or burned, posing a threat to both people and planet.

The Vision

Our vision is a world in which waste causes no harm, and where people in poverty are empowered to recover its value.

At WasteAid, we work with communities and policy makers in low and middle-income countries to implement waste management and recycling programmes. Our work improves the livelihoods of some of the poorest and most marginalised, promotes circular economy innovation and contributes to a cleaner and healthier future for all.

Waste management is an often neglected element of the international development agenda yet the consequences of poor waste management are severe, affecting both people and planet. Health consequences include increased respiratory illnesses due to burning waste, higher levels of insect borne illnesses due to open dumping, greater prevalence of gastro-intestinal problems and other illnesses due to blocked and polluted waterways. In the era of COVID 19, effective disposal of face masks and of potentially contaminated materials adds an extra layer of complexity for countries already struggling to dispose of their waste safely. It is the poorest that bear the heaviest disease burden and for those living in extreme poverty, this can lead to increased mortality. The environmental consequences of poor waste management are no less severe, burning waste contributes to the climate crisis through greenhouse gases, contaminated soil and waterways put ecosystems at risk and the dirt and odour from unmanaged waste degrades the general environment.

What we do

We work with the most vulnerable and marginalised in target communities to provide waste management and recycling training and livelihood opportunities.

We support innovation and deliver appropriate systems for first-step resource management to maximise recovery and reuse of waste materials

We foster sustainable social enterprises, social programmes with private sector companies, and local and global networks.

We undertake evidence-based advocacy to create an enabling environment for safe, sustainable waste management.

WasteAid is currently active in 8 countries throughout Africa and Asia.
