£30,451 FTE (£18,270 actual)
Incredibly flexible around working patterns and how you work your days/hours.
Location - Manchester with part-remote.

The Men's Room is a phenomenal small charity delivering life-changing services to marginalised young male and trans sex workers including those at risk of exploitation. As an arts-based social care charity, they place engagement through art at the core of their work using co-production and by championing service user involvement.

Whilst the charity has some established relationships with trusts, foundations and commissioners, they are hoping to diversify their income portfolio and engage with a broader range of supporters.

The charity is well-known locally and able to clearly and powerfully demonstrate its impact. You'll channel current support and raise awareness to reach new audiences, generating new fundraising opportunities and, ultimately, increasing income.

We're looking for an experienced fundraiser with a proven track-record across a range of income streams; ideally a mix of trusts, individuals and/or corporates, but happy to consider candidates with a specialism and transferable skills.

Answer Cancer is not a traditional health promotion service; instead it takes a VCSE-led community development approach in addressing the imbalance in screening uptake amongst certain groups.

The Answer Cancer Programme aims to provide a co-ordinated cancer screening prevention and screening awareness engagement programme across Greater Manchester. We focus on priority areas and communities, using a diverse range of approaches and interventions using a community development and social movement approach. We have a primary focus of

Manchester and Salford; followed by Oldham; Heywood, Middleton, Rochdale (HMR); and Bolton. These are the geographical areas that have the poorest screening uptake and outcomes of breast, bowel and cervical screening in Greater Manchester. Within those geographical areas we aim to reach people and communities that traditional screening engagement struggles to connect with.

The post-holder will be a member of the Community Engagement team within the Answer Cancer programme. This post will be line managed by the Programme Manager and based at Salford CVS.

On a day-to-day basis the post-holder will be tasked by and report back to the programme’s Community Engagement and Development Manager (this person is employed by BHA for Equality).

The post-holder will lead on engagement with prioritised communities / groups across Greater Manchester, including people from BME communities, LGBT people, people with mental health conditions, disabled people, carers and people living in areas of high deprivation.

The role will involve developing and delivering community engagement initiatives and health promotion interventions with individuals, voluntary / community organisations, faith groups, other health providers / services and the business sector.

The aim of the role is to encourage people from prioritised groups / communities to attend national cancer screening programmes (breast, bowel and cervical) thereby increasing uptake and early diagnosis of cancer.

Full Time and Part Time Hours Considered

Bury Hospice is looking for a charismatic Assistant Manager to support our shop in Bury Town Centre. In this role you will manage the shop team to maximise sales and achieve budgeted profitability whilst promoting the work of Bury Hospice, deputising for the shop manager in their absence.

As an Assistant Manager, you will be keen to use your retail experience to maximise sales using effective visual merchandising techniques. You will be passionate about the work of the Hospice and will use your role to increase awareness of our fundraising activities with customers. Our shops depend on the local community, so you will be driven in this way and have a eagerness to continue our development of the community network.

Customer satisfaction and engagement is key to our success as a Hospice, in which your excellent customer service skills will be relied upon to provide a fantastic experience for customers and to resolve queries and complaints.

You will be a responsible individual, respectful of guidelines and procedures, such as those related to GDPR and cash handling. You will have an understanding of Gift Aid return and the associated HMRC guidelines, and you will aim to promote this with all shop transactions.

You will take ownership for shop-related administration, such as rotas, timesheets, and absence management, so IT skills are essential, along with your ability to be organised, accurate and timely. Volunteer shop assistants support us in our work so it would be beneficial to the role if you had experience of managing others.

This is a hands-on role, part-time and full-time hours are negotiable but will both involve a requirement to work weekends and a flexible approach in order to meet operational demands.

Should you be interested in this role we would love to hear from you via a CV and a covering letter detailing whether you would be interested in full or part-time hours.

The University of Salford Students’ Union is an independent and democratic charity, led by elected student representatives working to make sure students’ university experience is the amazing, life-changing experience it should be.

Our vision “to confront and overcome the barriers to learning” has never been more relevant than in the past 18 months.

We are proud of our achievements for students. By working with our elected officers, student council, academic executive and liberation executives we have been able to secure over £1m in saved payments for students who are renting, as well as securing additional funding to help our students get the equipment they need to thrive in their studies. We’ve worked with our university partner to put a Covid academic ‘safety net’ in place and have continued to lead progressive work to reduce the Black award gap, celebrate diversity and promote democratic, student-led leadership.

As Director of Engagement, you will be joining a high performing leadership team with a growth mindset. This role will lead on three core areas of our SU; Opportunities and Wellbeing, Marketing and Commercial Services. We will shortly be refreshing our strategy and see engagement as a central area for us to develop and grow further.

We want you to think about how we can further build an equitable experience for all students, with a particular focus on building a consistent offer for all international students.

We will also want you to further enhance the partnerships we have with our university, and to oversee the development of several new commercial offers including the development of a bakery and brewery.

With our growth, you will have a chance to shape our work in new areas and make a real impact on the lives of our students.

Our successful candidate will have an inclusive mindset and experience in at least one of the core areas of this role (Opportunities and Wellbeing, Marketing or Commercial Services). A willingness to learn and have an active interest in all three areas is critical.

We are open to transferable skills but expect that you will have experience of leading change, developing high-quality services and building and contributing to equitable working environments.

We are focused on getting people with the vision and values to make an impact and can provide training and developmental support.

Your role is to lead a team to build and maintain partnerships with local authorities (LAs) and children’s trusts, in order to develop and support 600+ Fellows (alumni) annually through our key programmes. This is directly linked to achieving Frontline’s organisational objective of having 4,000 impactful Fellows by 2025, who will create social change for children without a safe or stable home.

This is a relatively new team created by consolidating activities and accountability across the organisation to become the lead interface to Frontline partners for all our programmes and initiatives.  We are looking for a Head of Partnerships and Placements to lead this team and ensure targets are met for partnerships, programme places, and overall partner satisfaction.  Additionally they will play an active role within Frontline’s Leadership Group.

We have increased the diversity of Frontline’s workforce in the last 12 months, but we need to do more to have greater ethnic minority representation in our senior roles. We know the value ethnic minority voices bring and therefore, we are strongly encouraging applicants from these backgrounds to apply and will keep applications open until we have satisfactory representation on the shortlist.
