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.”

It’s why we make sure that you have the opportunities you need to learn and develop. It’s why we’re invested in making RBL a truly inclusive place to work, where everyone can be themselves.

Are you looking for a new challenge? Are you passionate about enabling patients and carers to drive change? We are looking for an exceptional candidate to manage and grow a network of peer support for people living with pulmonary fibrosis throughout Scotland.

There is no known cure for pulmonary fibrosis, and little support for individuals and families living with the condition. We are passionate about changing that, by funding research to find a cure, campaigning for access to early diagnosis and treatments, and supporting quality of life through good support. But there is so much more to do.

You might be a health professional, have personal experience of pulmonary fibrosis, or have worked with support groups and volunteers in a charity or health context. If you are positive, proactive, creative and organised, have the skill needed to build the network, and excel at engaging patients and carers digitally and in person, we’d love to hear from you!

MAMA Academy has been helping to save babies lives since 2012. Sadly, the UK has one of the highest stillbirth rates in the developed world, with the majority of deaths potentially preventable. We believe this is unacceptable.

When MAMA Academy first launched, the number of stillbirths began a significant decline for the first time in 20 years, which has continued year on year. Currently, over 1,000 stillbirths are being prevented every year.

We remain committed to seeing a continuous decline in stillbirth and neonatal death rates.

As the Trusts & Foundations Fundraiser, you will formulate and deliver strategic and operational plans to establish and grow trusts and foundations fundraising activity for MAMA Academy.

To be successful, you will:

• Be a confident self-starter
• Have an excellent standard of written English, with the ability to write creative, original prose as well as to parse existing text
• Have experience at grant application writing

Location: Home-based, and a quarterly meeting in Surrey
