About CARE
CARE International is a global humanitarian organisation leading the fight to end poverty in the world’s most challenging situations. Women and girls are at the centre of our work, because we cannot overcome poverty and inequality until all people have equal rights and opportunities. We know that when a crisis erupts, women are often the first to pick up the pieces, so we work alongside women, so they have the power to make change where it’s needed most. Founded in 1945, CARE currently works in over 100 countries and last year alone reached 53.4 million people through nearly 1,500 projects.
Why work for CARE International UK?
This is a unique opportunity to build and lead a brand-new major giving programme at CARE International UK.

We already have a promising pool of potential supporters identified, and you’ll have the freedom and autonomy to test approaches to create something transformational and lasting.
About you
You’ll be a relationship builder first and foremost — someone who thrives on making meaningful connections and inspiring people to give. While major giving experience is a plus, we also welcome candidates from other fundraising with strong transferable relationship fundraising skills. What matters most is your ability to connect with people, your drive to build something new, and your mix of excellent strategic thinking paired with a willingness to get stuck in.
We are open to part-time working and job shares, as well as flexible about managing time in the office around your own personal circumstances.
About the role
You will launch and lead our major giving fundraising, with the scope to design and implement a strategy that secures five and six figure gifts, while also embedding the systems and practices that underpin a sustainable programme. You’ll have access to the CEO and Board of Trustees, and we’ll also tailor a package of support around you to ensure you can thrive and grow alongside the programme you’ll build.
Initial targets are achievable and grounded in our current situation, and there is room for these to grow ambitiously. This is your chance to launch a programme that will be vital to CARE’s mission, with the scope to shape it around what inspires and motivates you. Along the way, you’ll develop rewarding two-way relationships with our supporters, bringing them closer to the impact they are making for women and communities worldwide.

At Home-Start Barnet, we believe every child deserves the best possible start. We walk alongside families with young children, offering non-judgmental support through life’s toughest times. Now, we’re looking for a passionate and dedicated Family Support Coordinator to join our team.
This role focuses mainly on families living in Brent and Barnet, with children aged under 5. Since the pandemic, there has been a noted decline in the readiness of children in starting school, and there has been a greater identification of neurodivergence and complex additional needs at an early age. For many of our families, this has been even more impactful due to the multiple vulnerability factors that many families are experiencing – many are migrant and transient families, lone parents, those living in poverty, having multiple young children in a single household, with experience of domestic abuse or substance use.

As a Family Support Coordinator, you’ll play a vital role in helping families with young children who are experiencing multiple challenges. You’ll:
-
Work directly with families to help children meet key early years milestones and prepare for school.
-
Run parenting workshops, stay and play groups and peer-support sessions that empower parents
-
Recruit, train, and support a team of incredible volunteers who make a lasting difference in children’s lives.
-
Collaborate with professionals across health, education, and social care to provide a truly joined-up approach to family support.
Why Join Us?
-
Be part of a warm, committed, and supportive team who share your passion for making a difference.
-
Receive a thorough induction, work shadowing, and ongoing training to help you succeed.
-
Benefit from regular supervision and peer support to keep you motivated and supported.
-
Work flexibly – we welcome applications for both full-time and part-time positions.
About You
We’re looking for someone who:
-
Understands the challenges families face and how these impact childhood development.
-
Has experience of supporting vulnerable families, ideally in early years or family services.
-
Can confidently coordinate volunteers and inspire them to achieve the best outcomes.
-
Brings empathy, resilience, and excellent communication skills.

The CEO is excited to welcome a proactive, purpose-driven, and resourceful Communications and Engagement Lead to join their small and purposeful team and support the next phase in their journey.
In this multi-faceted role, you will ensure that women affected by Fowler’s Syndrome, clinicians, researchers, and the wider public are intimately connected to the charity’s work.You will enable smoother pathways for women seeking support and for healthcare professionals looking to access educational resource, while also leading on a range of communications activities and awareness campaigns.
You will take responsibility for coordinating and facilitating online patient groups, supporting in-person events, and helping to manage FSUK’s Patient Council. Tasked with overseeing the development of content such as patient resources, you will also advance wider engagement across projects and research programmes and ensure that communications, whether via newsletters, social channels, or the website, reflect the charity’s voice and values.
While having strategic oversight and leading on the management of FSUK’s digital platforms, including their WordPress website and database consisting of patients and supporters, you will also maintain the charity’s fundraising pages. Through managing FSUK’s social platforms, you will at times also interact with the charity’s online community, responding with empathy as you engage and signpost to appropriate services such as the FSUK helpline, ensuring people feel heard, informed, and supported.
Lastly, raising awareness of FSUK will be one strand of the communications output, however the primary focus is to enable stronger connections and deepen engagement and trust with their valued community.
Emotional intelligence and well defined interpersonal skills are essential, as well as having proficient organisational ability and the aptitude to multi-task when working independently within this small, yet fast-moving team.
A background in patient, community, or stakeholder engagement will also be a valuable asset, alongside exposure to working within the health, charity, or research sector. You will have demonstrable experience producing content, alongside a track record of managing digital and social platforms (particularly Instagram).
Lived experience of Fowler’s Syndrome is not essential but would be a welcome bonus!
If you’re eager to play a vital role in nurturing FSUK’s patient community, enhancing the digital presence of a growing charity that ensures women living with Fowler’s Syndrome feel supported and connected, we’d love to hear from you.
Fowler’s Syndrome UK welcomes applications from people of all backgrounds and especially anyone with lived experience of FS.
