Inclusion manager jobs in barnet, norfolk

When asked what they love most about working at Rainforest Trust UK our staff say it is feeling they are making a difference and taking direct action on some of the biggest issues of our time - climate change, biodiversity loss and Indigenous Peoples' rights. They also like being part of a small, friendly, and supportive team, where they feel they can have a direct input into decisions and our direction. We offer a host of other benefits too.

Rainforest Trust is a leading global organisation sponsoring the creation and expansion of protected and conserved areas, playing a central role in combating biodiversity loss and fighting climate change. Rainforest Trust UK (RTUK) is set up as a separate charity to tax-efficiently raise funds from donors here in the UK for Rainforest Trust’s conservation projects.

In 2023 the global charity raised $46 million for conservation projects in Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. Last year the UK charity contributed £2.7m of this, and we are confident there is significant potential to increase our income from donors here. So, we are looking for an experienced Finance and Administrative Officer to join our small UK team to help us manage an increasing number of donations.

This is a varied role which will offer the successful candidate exposure to a wide range of tasks and responsibilities, including bank reconciliations, financial and performance reporting, some data upkeep and systems improvements.

£32,000-£34,000 (dependent on skills and experience) plus generous benefits 

Location – Home-based with occasional travel to Foundation sites and team meet-ups 

We are the Football Foundation - the Premier League, the FA and government’s charity that delivers outstanding grassroots facilities, more and better places to play, transforming lives and communities where it is needed most.  

To help us with this important mission, we currently have a vacancy for a Community Engagement Officer.

As Community Engagement Officer, you’ll be at the heart of delivering positive change through the PlayZones Programme, helping to increase physical activity among priority groups: individuals from low socio-economic backgrounds, women and girls, disabled people and those with long-term health conditions, and culturally diverse communities. 

You’ll manage a portfolio of PlayZones projects, working closely with our Delivery Managers to ensure each project is shaped by meaningful community input, and leading the development and implementation of community engagement plans. 

About the Football Foundation 

Over the last 22 years, the Foundation has awarded more than 23,000 grants to deliver outstanding grassroots facilities across England worth more than £877 million. This year, the Foundation will be investing more money than ever into facilities across England and is committed to improving the experience of playing football for everyone.  

The Foundation’s goal is to unlock the power of pitches ensuring everyone has a great place to play regardless of gender, race, disability or place.  

What are we looking for? 

We’d love to hear from you if you’re a passionate, organised, and community-minded individual with a strong background in community-led project development. You’ll bring proven experience supporting underrepresented or priority groups and addressing inequalities in physical activity, alongside the confidence to lead inclusive meetings and build trusted relationships with diverse stakeholders.

Skilled in juggling multiple projects, you’ll be comfortable managing competing deadlines while maintaining high standards and attention to detail. You’ll have excellent communication skills with the ability to simplify complex processes and engage partners remotely and in person. A natural collaborator and creative problem-solver, you’ll be proactive, adaptable, and able to turn insight into action. Familiarity with capital funding processes, project management tools, and place-based working would be an advantage, but most of all, we’re after someone who shares our values, believes in fairness and inclusion, and is ready to help communities thrive through physical activity.

What can we offer you?

We strive to provide an inclusive and supportive working environment where all our team feel respected and supported in fulfilling their potential. We encourage and welcome applications from all, regardless of background and are particularly interested to hear from individuals belonging to under-represented groups including diverse ethnic communities, individuals with a disability and those from the LGBTQI+ community.
