Taking a holistic view of our digital programme and with your expertise and experience, you’ll help us build on the activity that’s working well, while identifying areas of lower potential to scale back. At its core, the role is about using digital to deliver greater income, influence, and impact for the women and communities we work alongside around the world.
At CARE International UK we affirm the dignity, potential and contribution of participants, donors, partners and staff. Our actions are consistent with our mission. We are honest and transparent in what we do and say and accept responsibility for our collective and individual actions. We work together effectively to serve the larger community. We constantly challenge ourselves to the highest levels of learning and performance to achieve greater impact. We understand that everyone has commitments and welcome flexible working arrangements.
About you
You’ll be a strategic, collaborative, creative facilitator who can spark innovative thinking across teams. You can convene the right people and support CIUK to develop bold, audience-focused digital ideas. You’ll be motivated by the opportunity to help us rapidly scale up our digital programme and a keen self-starter with lots of enthusiasm.
About the role
You will work cross-functionally to break down silos, develop an integrated digital strategy, and rapidly scale up our digital activity to meet our fundraising growth ambitions. You’ll set the bar for digital best practice and champion this across the organisation; sharing learning, helping outline a roadmap to becoming a digital-first organisation. You’ll support across teams with testing and innovating new products and propositions.
This role will require a digital strategist with experience across the mix – from mobilisation and campaigning to fundraising and supporter experience. A keen eye for analysis and an audience-led approach, enables you to look beyond any one function or objective to drive growth; be that income, impact or engagement. You’ll have ample experience and/or knowledge of a wide variety of digital platforms and tools including CMS systems, Google Analytics, PowerBi, Impact Stack/Engaging Networks, MailChimp, social media and Adwords.
This is a part-time role but we are open to flexible working arrangements and a discussion around hours.

ShareAction is an independent charity and an expert on responsible investment. We work to build a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. We set ambitious standards for how financial institutions, through their investment decisions, can protect our planet and its people and campaign for this approach to become the norm. We convene shareholders to collectively push companies to tackle the climate crisis, protect nature, improve workers’ rights and shape healthier societies. In the UK and EU, we advocate for financial regulation that has society’s best interests at its core.
What you’ll do
ShareAction’s Banking Standards team works towards holding financial institutions accountable for their impact on climate change. We have a history of campaigning on key aspects of banks’ climate strategies – such as their emission reduction targets or fossil fuel policies – and we are gradually expanding our work to include other sustainability themes and banking regulation. We have achieved significant wins, such as contributing to HSBC becoming the world’s largest bank to cease financing for new oil and gas fields, Barclays dramatically reducing its oil sands financing, and mobilising investors to call on Societe Generale to set a renewable energy target.
The team is structured around two main pillars: our campaigning and our research pillar. The research pillar ensures that the team’s campaigning and advocacy work is based on sound analysis and facts. The Senior Research Manager oversees the research pillar, currently composed of three more junior researchers. The Senior Research Manager is responsible for developing and implementing a research strategy that underpins campaign needs for analysis and insight in line with campaign timelines and available resources. You will oversee and contribute to the delivery of high-quality research outputs, including thematic reports, investor briefings, and surveys of Europe’s largest banks, and ensure that they are underpinned by clear and robust research methodologies. Alongside the Head of Banking Programme and the Senior Campaign Manager, you’ll act as an ambassador for the team in external forums, the media, and when meeting with and presenting to external stakeholders, including banks, civil society organisations, and investors.
If this role sounds like something that would build on your current skill set and engage you, we’d love to hear from you!
What you’ll bring to the team
To be successful, you will:
- Have a good understanding of how banks work and how they can help address climate change, developed through experience working in or with banks.
- Be a strategic thinker.
- Have excellent project management and organisational skills, with a proven ability to autonomously manage research projects, allocate tasks, and handle multiple competing priorities to meet deadlines.
- Have extensive experience carrying out research and an ability to summarise complex issues and datasets for others in a clear and concise way.
- Have advanced Excel skills.
- Have experience managing a team of research professionals and/or providing direct line management support.
- Have a proven ability to handle relationships with multiple external stakeholders in the private and public sectors.
- Have excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, and the ability to flex your style according to your audience.
- Be a collaborative team player who is comfortable receiving feedback and ideas from more junior staff, seeks opportunities to support colleagues and is willing to support other areas of work as needed.
- Be passionate about the issues ShareAction advocates for and be comfortable working in a campaigning environment.
It would also be great – but not essential – if you meet the following criteria:
- Experience in conducting surveys and/or carrying out qualitative or quantitative research on financial institutions.
- A good understanding of responsible investment.
- Experience integrating innovative tools and approaches into research processes, such as AI tools.
- Subject matter knowledge in climate change, biodiversity and/or human rights.
- Experience using the Salesforce CRM system and/or Cascade and/or Eikon.
We have a formal hybrid working policy in place, and the Banking team meets in the office every Tuesday for a team meeting and team lunch. We also aim to organise additional team-specific meetings on those days. We expect candidates who live in London to come to the office every Tuesday and those who live outside London to come to the office two Tuesdays a month.

Parenthood can be hard. It can be lonely. And it doesn’t come with a manual. Many families we work with also struggle with hunger, grief and anxiety, and just don’t know where to turn for support. Our volunteers are a lifeline to hundreds of families each year, offering one-to-one home-visiting and a wide range of support for parents to ensure that their children have the best start in life. We are seeking a Volunteering and Engagement Coordinator to recruit and develop a diverse team of volunteers, to support our work with families in Barnet, Brent and Harrow.
This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, forward thinking change-maker to test new approaches to engaging with local communities and potential volunteers. You will understand the importance of brand and positive messaging, and will be able to use a variety of techniques including social media to promote volunteering opportunities to different communities of interest.
Additionally, the postholder will be an inclusive and engaging communicator, with the ability to build supportive relationships with a diverse group of volunteers. The postholder will ensure that volunteers receive training, development and supervision to support the families we work with, and that high standards of practice are maintained. You will promote initiatives to increase the retention of existing volunteers and ensure that they are recognised and rewarded for their work.
The work requires a combination of field-based community engagement and training in Barnet, Brent and Harrow and regular days in the office which is in Finchley, Barnet.

About the role
This is a unique opportunity to play a leading role in an ambitious and values-driven climate finance initiative. The Resilient Futures Fund, a new subsidiary of Christian Aid, is pioneering a bold approach to climate philanthropy, one that blends donor giving with impact investment to unlock long-term, scalable solutions for vulnerable communities.
As Senior New Business Development Officer, you will lead the development and implementation of The Resilient Futures Fund's philanthropic fundraising strategy, working closely with the Head of Fund and colleagues across Christian Aid. Your focus will be on identifying, cultivating, and stewarding a portfolio of high-value donors, ranging from individuals to philanthropic foundations and corporate partners, who are motivated not only by charitable impact, but by the opportunity to contribute to systemic, sustainable change.
This role requires a strong strategic mindset and a deep understanding of the evolving philanthropic landscape, particularly the intersection of traditional giving with social investment, climate finance, and venture philanthropy. You will develop compelling propositions that speak to donors' desire for measurable impact, oversee donor journeys across multiple channels, and support collaborative partnership models, including co-financing and joint ventures, to grow The Resilient Futures Fund's reach and influence.
You'll also work to embed The Resilient Futures Fund into wider Christian Aid fundraising activity, building strong internal relationships and ensuring coherence across donor messaging, reporting, and engagement. This is an opportunity to help shape a next-generation funding model that reimagines what climate philanthropy can achieve.
About you
You are an experienced and strategic fundraiser with a passion for innovation and impact. You have a proven track record of securing significant philanthropic income, particularly from major donors, trusts, and foundations, and you understand how to translate complex programme goals into compelling cases for support that resonate with diverse funders.
You are intellectually curious and comfortable working at the intersection of philanthropy and social investment. You understand the motivations of donors who are looking for more than transactional giving, those seeking scalable, systemic, and lasting change. Whether it's a six-figure major gift or a multi-year partnership, you know how to craft tailored stewardship journeys that inspire trust and long-term commitment.
You bring strong project management skills and can balance big-picture strategy with day-to-day delivery. You are data-informed, impact-driven, and understand how to use evidence and insight to adapt and improve fundraising performance.
You thrive in collaborative environments, building strong relationships with internal teams and external stakeholders alike. You are excited by the opportunity to contribute to a pioneering climate initiative that sits at the forefront of philanthropic and investment innovation, one that reflects your values and desire to create meaningful, measurable change in the world.
