The overall vision for our work on disability inclusion is an inclusive world where global and national development and humanitarian policies are implemented by governments, and the associated programmes and investments support the realisation of the rights of persons with disabilities.

Prior to Agenda 2030, people with disabilities were largely left behind in the global push by governments, civil society and private sector actors seeking to improve the lives of those who live in poverty. This has resulted in a generation of people with disabilities who have had limited or indeed no direct benefit from or contribution to development and humanitarian frameworks and their subsequent implementing budgets and programmes. The direct impact of this has been increased vulnerability to poverty for people with disabilities and their families.

In line with the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Agenda 2030, and in support of the aim to leave no-one behind in development and humanitarian responses, the purpose of this role is to identify and pursue opportunities for influencing other governmental, private contractors and development and humanitarian organisations; and to work alongside the disability movement at international, regional and national level to provide advice and capacity development on inclusion to a range of stakeholders.

5. Develop specific resources for partners as needed, including handouts, articles and training packages
6. Advocate for the role of people with disabilities and DPOs in all in-country work, along with CBM’s Country Office
7. Broker effective relationships between development partners and DPOs as appropriate
8. Where appropriate, contribute to the capacity strengthening of DPOs to enable them to more effectively influence development partners for disability inclusive development, along with CBM’s Country Office
9. Contribute to monitoring, evaluation and learning activities relating to disability inclusion

Voluntary Income in The Church of England is over £800M a year, and funds most of the church's mission and ministry. The Church of England has adopted a National Giving Strategy for 2020-2025 that will invest in different ways to encourage giving within its churches.

Parishes need support to ensure they are enabling giving and encouraging generosity, and dioceses need support to ensure the parishes fund their ministry.

As Regional Giving Advisor, you will support the recruitment of Diocesan Giving Advisors in the North / Midlands / South and develop the knowledge and adoption of good practice in parishes and dioceses. You will support dioceses who access the Giving Advisor Fund, assisting them throughout the recruitment process, and providing training and non-managerial supervision for new Giving Advisors. You will also develop regional initiatives, and take a national lead on specific areas of giving and produce training and guidance in these areas.

To be successful, you will need experience of encouraging giving in a paid capacity and of influencing through communications with sensitivity and discretion. Experience of working within the Church sector, either in a paid or voluntary capacity would be an advantage.

Due to the specialist nature of the roles within the Giving team, training will be provided to successful candidates to enable them to carry out their role confidently.

We have 3 roles available covering North, Midlands and East and the South. Please state in your application which area you would prefer to cover.

The willingness to travel throughout England and Wales and work occasional weekends will be required.

At the NCIs many of our staff work flexibly in a number of different ways including where they are based. We are happy to talk at interview about options that might be possible with this role.

Interviews are expected to be held w/c 30th March 2020.

In return we offer a unique environment with opportunities for continuous learning, generous annual leave for work life balance, season ticket loans and a range of benefits including discounted entry to attractions and what we feel is a market leading package when it comes to our scheme.
