5Rights is looking for a new Head of UK Advocacy to advance the organisation’s policy leadership and secure impact with our target audiences – in the UK and internationally.

About 5Right

5Rights Foundation is a policy and advocacy organisation that works towards realising enforceable, statutory regulation and positive change across technology products and services to protect the rights and welfare of children and young people online.

We exist to build the digital world that young people deserve, allowing them to engage online creatively, knowledgeably, and fearlessly.

Our small team works for real-world impact on behalf of and with young people, pioneering change in how the digital world works in the UK and around the globe, across our three goals:

• Global standards for data protection and young people:  we supported the introduction of the Age-Appropriate Design Code in the UK, which has already had an impact on how digital services treat children and which the New York Times has said should be replicated in the US. We are the sponsor of a similar Code progressing through the legislature in California.
• Child-Centred Design:  our work ranges from ground breaking research into how the design of digital services puts children at risk to support the creation of a new international industry standard for child-centred design
• Children’s Rights:  we worked with the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to draft and see adopted a new international agreement that makes explicit - for the first time - that children’s rights apply in the digital world. We have published a Toolkit to make this a reality, launched by Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, and representatives of the African Union, European Union, and UN.

Job Description –Supporter Acquisition Manager (Individual Giving)

Reporting to: Senior Manager (Individual Giving)

Location: Hybrid / Office Based

Contract: Permanent

Hours: 35 Hours

Salary: £38,000

About FareShare

FareShare is the UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to almost 10,000 frontline charities and community groups. During 2021, we redistributed 127 million meals, the equivalent of 4 meals every second through our FareShare Regional Centres and our retail surplus model FareShare Go, reaching over 1 million people.

FareShare exists because of two hugely important and highly topical issues.

As a consequence of supply and demand, huge volumes of food are grown or made in the UK and a small percentage ends up as unwanted surplus with little commercial value.

At the same time, there are many thousands of frontline community groups and charities that are providing a vital safety net for the most vulnerable in our society. We seek to squeeze as much social good out of that uneconomic surplus by getting it to almost 10,000 such groups across the UK whilst they provide essential wraparound support services for their beneficiaries.

The Cost of Living Crisis and before it, the COVID-19 have shone a spotlight on the issue of food insecurity in the UK and with it, FareShare’s ability to get food to vulnerable communities nationwide.

It is estimated that over 4.7m UK households are now experiencing food insecurity and whilst the equivalent of 1.3bn meals of good surplus food occurs each year, FareShare believes that it is wrong for these two situations to co-exist.

To combat this, FareShare is moving into an ambitious 4 year programme to achieve

unparalleled growth in both our food volumes as well as our

fundraised income. We are driven by the opportunity to secure even more of the food available at farm gate, manufacturing and retail levels and to do this, we

need to maximise our new groundswell of public support to generate the funds needed to operate at this greater scale. There has never been a more

exciting time to join a relevant organisation which delivers both social and environmental impact, at such a crucial time.

By joining us you would be leading some of our most important work in helping us generate more support from Donors, Corporate Food and Fundraising Partners, Foundations and Volunteers as we strive in our ambition to meet the demand for food

to support the UK’s most vulnerable.

FareShare’s Strategy & Vision
 

Vision: We have the vision of a UK where “No good food goes to waste”.

Mission: To use surplus, fit for consumption, food to feed those who are vulnerable in the UK by supporting front line charitable organisations that tackle the cause and not just the symptoms of food poverty.

Our Purpose: We are doers. We are a community. We change lives.

Our Values: Passion – for our cause and the challenge that lies ahead

Ambition – to go the extra mile and drive the change that must happen

Respect – for ourselves, each other, our volunteers, our partners and our beneficiaries

Collaboration – it’s only by working with others that we can be stronger

Focus – on providing the best service possible so that we deliver and

achieve the most for our clients/customers.

MDSC’s mission is to transform access to physical therapies for people with muscular dystrophy (MD) in the Midlands. Established in 2012, MDSC was set up and led by people with, or affected by, MD.

About the Role

Population Matters has grown its team and ambitions significantly in the last few years and, as a small, primarily virtual organisation with global aspirations, a well-managed and utilised CRM database is key to helping to make our vision a reality.

We are looking for a CRM and Engagement Officer to work closely with the Head of Fundraising and Engagement and our external contractor to ensure that our database and how we use it helps support our strategic objectives and provides a positive experience for members, donors and a wider group of external stakeholders. This is a hands-on role with lots of opportunities to use your initiative and be creative in thinking about new solutions to problems.

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising and Engagement, you will champion CiviCRM across the organisation and ensure it’s utilised to its fullest potential, including supporting and training new and existing users. You will be responsible for liaising with our external contractor to improve, develop and implement functions that will enhance our processes and take the lead on maintaining accurate and up-to-date records and general database upkeep.

About You

You will be passionate about the ways in which a CRM system can underpin a charity’s work and be excited about using ours to help achieve Population Matters’ vision of a better future for everyone. You will be interested, curious and committed to learning new technical skills as well as being able to speak clearly and plainly with all team members who might not have your expertise. Beyond the administrative function, a key part of the role will be to understand the aims of the organisation and individual team members, helping them use the CRM and associated technologies in support of those aims.

You’ll have previous experience of working with donor management/customer relationship databases (preferably CiviCRM), have a proactive approach to data quality and be confident in your technical abilities that will enable you to work independently as well as contribute your skills to the team. You will be a team player who is able to build effective working relationships with all colleagues and contractors, becoming the ‘go to’ person for all things CRM.

Population Matters primarily works as a virtual organisation so this role is home-based for the majority, but close proximity to our London office is preferred.

Our Vision is a future in which a stable human population co-exists in harmony with nature and prospers on a healthy planet, to the benefit of all.

We believe everyone should have the freedom and ability to choose a smaller family.  All our work is informed and guided by our commitments to human rights, women’s empowerment and global justice.

Population Matters has a London office near Waterloo in which you are welcome to work, or you may choose to work from home. Most of the team work from home for the majority with frequent online catch-ups and face-to-face team and other ad-hoc meetings at our office on a semi-regular basis.

For this role, if you choose to be primarily home-based you will still need to commit to regular office visits to access, open and process post i.e. cheques and other donations.
