We are excited to be recruiting a Programme Delivery Manager to join The Scholars Programme. In our ‘Join The Club’ strategy we have set out our ambition for university access, focusing on the two goals: working with more pupils than ever before and extending our support across the student journey; this will only be successfully delivered by working together with our key stakeholders. The Programme Delivery Manager will play a central role in the delivery of the necessary efficiencies and enhancements of the Scholars Programme to support the strategy goal to work with more pupils than ever before.

This role will lead on the central Delivery Cycle for The Scholars Programme team, creating correspondence and guidance for schools and PhD Tutors and collaborating with other teams to ensure communication is streamlined and consistent. This is a key role within the Programme Management team, ensuring high quality pupil impact by tracking data returns, providing team briefings and ongoing training and support. They will support with the development, testing and embedding of new processes and projects including IT developments, and will be the first contact point for troubleshooting issues. This role will manage a small team of Programme Coordinators who will support Programme Officers and Programme Managers to meet programme delivery targets.

The role requires an accomplished professional, with proven experience of high-quality programme delivery.  They will champion the charity’s values and embody them in interactions with colleagues and partners, establishing themselves as someone who can be relied upon, supporting the whole team and proactively finding ways to improve what we do.

This is a great opportunity to join the Brilliant Club team as we become the UK’s largest university access movement. We are looking forward to meeting great candidates who are excited to join us as we help more young people progress to university and thrive when they get there.

We think it is important that our charity reflects the lived experience of our beneficiaries, and we want to be an organisation where employees from any background can thrive. We particularly welcome applications from disabled, Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME), Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans including non-binary (LGBTQ+) candidates, and candidates from low income families. These groups are currently underrepresented at The Brilliant Club and we are committed to increasing representation and diversity at the charity.

Head of Fundraising

Full-time, permanent
Salary: £48k - £52k
Hours: 35 hours per week
Location: Cardiff (flexible homeworking)

St John Ambulance Cymru

We’ve supported people and communities across Wales since 1880. We existed before the NHS in Wales and provided the earliest medical support to those who were sick or injured.

Since March 2020, we’ve worked closely with Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust (WAST) and NHS Wales, increasing our capacity and developing new innovative ways of working to assist and relieve the overwhelming pressure on the frontline brought about by COVID-19.

We’ve helped by continuing to provide care and support to people when they’ve needed it most. This includes caring for people at Wales’ field hospitals, being there for people at vaccination centres and strengthening our Urgent Care Support within the ambulance service.

Now, in 2021, we continue performing a major role in strengthening community resilience and ensuring people are trained in first aid so they can be the difference between a life lost and a life saved.

We fulfil key front-line roles to support vulnerable people, in addition to offering the opportunity for people from all backgrounds to develop their personal skills and confidence to support our charitable and income generating services whilst assisting their own career development.

As a charity, we partner with the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust and NHS Health Boards, providing ambulance support services in addition to delivering our Falls Response Service, helping people who’ve fallen at home, back to their feet.

We maintain our reputation as being the leading organisation to deliver first aid training to both commercial businesses and local-based communities including schools throughout Wales.

We also give support to the people of Wales through:

• Medical duties at events
• Community based divisions
• Falls Response Service
• Community First Responders (CFR)

Our focus is developing new, innovative services to help us achieve our mission of saving lives and enhancing the health and wellbeing of communities in Wales.

We’re undergoing an extensive and exciting programme of modernisation, forward thinking, encompassing a review of our existing services, financial and workforce models and we’re developing a rejuvenated culture aligned to our core vision and values to improve our overall people experience.

The opportunity

To help us achieve our mission of saving lives and enhancing the health and wellbeing of communities in Wales, we’re offering this exciting opportunity to join our team as a talented and experienced Head of Fundraising, helping develop the vision and strategy for future fundraising.

Working closely with the Senior Leadership Team and reporting directly to the Chief Executive, the postholder will plan, co-ordinate and oversee the management of agreed activity levels and in doing so govern the workforce, budget and achieve excellent standards of fundraising.

This role will be further critical in creating a climate and culture which enables our people to realise their potential within a supportive, safe, continuous improvement and learning environment, conducive to positive levels of health and well-being.

This is a true leadership role where the postholder will be expected to work well under pressure, manage their own workload to achieve objectives and demonstrate the highest standards of integrity, leadership and fairness at all times. The postholder will be able to effectively coach, manage and motivate staff to reach their full potential and uphold our organisational values.

What you’ll need to be successful

To achieve the above, we’re looking for a talented, confident, and experienced Head of Fundraising with a proven track record of building and growing a corporate fundraising function and achieving excellent standards of fundraising.

You’ll be passionate about continuous improvement, suggesting new and/or better ways of working which are supported by clear evidence. You’ll be fluent in articulating these ideas in a positive and supportive way, achieving buy-in at all levels.

You’ll have excellent communication and engagement skills, with the ability to adapt your style to suit the audience in front of you. You will be committed to promoting a culture where staff feel empowered and accountable for the service they provide, whilst ensuring team and individual objectives are met or exceeded.

We’d love to hear from you! 

The Systems Change Project is a co-design project.

Our ambition is to ensure that young people feel listened to and supported with their mental health outside of traditional education settings, particularly young men, BAME and LGBTQ+ young people and those from deprived backgrounds.

We hope this will lead to increased diversity and accessibility in our own volunteer cohort too.

This project will research what young people need now, and co-produce a pilot project to be launched in January to test responses to this issue. We want all young people, no matter their background, to always be able to answer the question 'are you ok' honestly, and have the support they need to do so.

We are looking for an experienced manager to lead our organisation and drive forward our plans to deliver a person-centred service to people with sight loss living in North Somerset.

You will have excellent communication skills; a high level of financial literacy; and a sound knowledge of the voluntary sector, its governance arrangements and relationship with local partners including the statutory sector.  You will develop and maintain productive alliances in order to raise the profile of service user needs and aspirations, and will lead our fundraising efforts.

We need someone with a vision for the future and an ability to combine strategic thinking with attention to detail.  An empathy for people living with a disability is essential, as is a positive, flexible approach to team working.  You will be based in our office in Weston super Mare but should be prepared to travel across North Somerset as required.

Closing date for applications: Thursday 4th November 2021.

Interviews for this post will be held on Thursday 11th November.

Citizens Advice offers confidential advice online, over the phone, and in person, for free. Through our national network of charities, we give people the knowledge and the confidence they need to find their way forward – whoever they are, and whatever their problem.

Do you want to work for an organisation that makes a difference, every single day, to people from all walks of life? The people that turn to Citizens Advice need help overcoming an obstacle in their lives – from debt to evictions to trouble at work – and you can be key to them getting the support they need in the quickest, easiest, and most effective way.

We particularly welcome applications from disabled and Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) candidates as BAME and disabled people are currently under- represented throughout Citizens Advice. We are a member of the race equality campaign at Business in the Community, the Prince’s responsible business network and are committed to improving employment opportunities for ethnic minorities across the UK. We also welcome applications from, LGB and Trans and non binary candidates.

We have made a positive commitment to employing disabled people and guarantee to interview all disabled candidates who meet the minimum essential criteria for the role as set out in role profiles.

We are looking for an outstanding person to lead our Wales Policy and Campaigns team who are based in Cardiff. 

This is an exciting opportunity to work on the big issues facing people across England and Wales today, joining a team with a track record of achieving change.

We’re an organisation with a relentless focus on making society fairer. Each year we help 2.7 million people to solve their problems across England and Wales. This data and our reputation give us unparalleled influence. We have a unique insight into emerging trends and issues affecting people, and we use it to work with government, regulators and industry to improve people's lives. Examples of our recent work in England and Wales includes securing significant improvements to Universal Credit, leading the debate on ‘loyalty penalty’ rip-offs, pushing for a ban on letting agent fees and capping the cost of rent to own good.

This role will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to maximise the impact we have for our clients in Wales. In Wales we have a network of 19 local Citizens Advice - all individual charities, staffed by nearly 800 dedicated volunteers and paid staff.  We deliver advice from over 375 community locations in Wales, as well as offering services over the phone and online. 

This could include leading work on devolved issues such as housing and health & social care policy, but also promoting and influencing around our GB work in Wales, ranging from universal credit to household debt. 

You will be responsible for a programme of policy research, and will lead campaigns, public affairs and media engagement within Wales. You’ll work across policy areas and support junior members of the team to reach their potential. Our strong brand will give you unique opportunities to engage with those who have the power to make change. You’ll influence Ministers, Members of the Senedd, MPs, and civil servants, regulators and industry bodies, on behalf of the people who rely on Citizens Advice.

We are looking for someone with a wide range of skills, from exceptional judgement and excellent stakeholder management, to the personal authority required to be a leader in a large organisation.

Our commitment to flexible working extends to where we work. As Covid restrictions ease, Citizens Advice are moving towards a permanent mix of office and home based working which will give much more choice to staff, while still maintaining the best of collaborative working.

The National Citizens Advice Operates from offices in England and Wales, with 4 regional offices based in Cardiff, London, Birmingham and Leeds, therefore all successful applicants must be based within England or Wales.

Please note, in the event of a high number of applications, we reserve the right to close the application early.

LOCATION: London, Cardiff, or remote within UK.

In doing so, the Hub facilitates a network of UK humanitarian innovators focused on new and improved processes and technologies that will make humanitarian action more effective and efficient.

About Elrha

Elrha is a global charity that finds solutions to complex humanitarian problems through research and innovation. We fund and support projects that go on to shape the way in which people across the world are supported during a crisis. We are based in the UK, but our roles have a global reach.

Remote Working

Elrha employees are currently working remotely within the UK in line with UK Government guidance. In early 2022 we will transition to flexible and hybrid ways of working (i.e. a mixture of remote/home and office-based working) as social distancing restrictions ease.

We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
