INTRODUCING SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS:

“Life is an uneven playing field – we want to level it out”

Some people may view SOHK as a rugby charity, others as a mental health charity. Others will say that it is the place where they found the confidence to thrive at school or simply get a job when they never thought that was possible. Working with people aged from 11 to, well, there’s no specific upper age limit (!) we just want to create a society where everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed. Here’s what one professional has written about us:

“School of Hard Knocks is about the development of the whole person. By enabling self-worth through an environment of genuine acceptance, participants move from a mind-set characterised by threat, instability and confusion, to one that promotes and maintains optimism, emotional resilience and ultimately life satisfaction. In essence the 'School of Hard Knocks' provides individuals the opportunity to find a meaning and purpose to life.”

Charity: Beyond Carnism
Role: Fundraising and Development Manager (Trusts & Major Donor)

Salary: up to £40k / $54k / €47k
Contract: Full-time, or part-time (lots of flexibility, to secure the perfect person)
Location: Remote, anywhere globally

Deadline: Sunday 24th October 2021

The Charity

In line with UN sustainable development goals, the world needs to reduce its meat and dairy consumption by 50% by 2040, if we want the planet to remain inhabitable. Huge amounts of resource and effort are already going into the development of plant-based proteins, reshaping global food systems and rethinking modern farming techniques.

But an important and often overlooked piece of the puzzle is taking the global population on that journey. We need to win hearts and minds, convince people of the need for change, if we’re going to affect substantial change in the time available.

In steps Dr Melanie Joy, internationally respected psychologist and award-winning author, with her theory of Carnism. I would definitely recommend reading their website for a full explanation of it, but in basic terms it is about helping people see that their dietary choices are a result of a belief system and not objective fact. It isn’t true that eating animal products is normality, with vegetarianism and veganism being aberrations, both are conscious choices.

It isn’t logically coherent that we can justify the eating of some animals and not others, or that which animals are and are not acceptable to eat varies so wildly around the world. Until people are fully aware of the choices they’re making, they can’t truly exercise their free will in these choices.

For an engaging introduction to their theory, I would recommend taking a look at this mesmerising video: https://youtu.be/XumGZk_LPX8

This isn’t about brow-beating meat eaters, but about getting us all on the same page in finding pragmatic solutions to some of the most serious problems being faced by our species.

The Role

After a number of years of incremental growth, the charity has substantially grown from $400k - $600k over the past 2 years – fuelled by the release of a number of best-selling books, increased campaigning and exposure, and an explosion in donor interest.

This role will be focused on continuing to build fruitful relationships with their existing donor base and building from that platform to secure sustainable growth into the future. Their donor profile is predominantly HNWI, with some foundation and mid-level giving as well. The lion’s share of future growth is likely to come from their major donor programme, but they are looking for someone who can think creatively about the funding mix and who will be given the autonomy to explore different opportunities.

What we’re looking for

• A passion for animal welfare and climate change.
• Experience in growing a major donor portfolio.
• Experience of managing a varied funding mix.
• A first-class communicator, with a passion for writing and an eye for detail.

If you’re finding your interest sufficiently piqued, please do fire over a current CV and let’s find some time to discuss the role in a little more detail.

I’ll end this advert by saying that I personally think the team over at Beyond Carnism are incredible. They are such a delight to work with and their culture is so inclusive, friendly and supportive that I know you would love them if you met them.
