The Fawcett Society is the UK’s leading feminist campaigning charity. Our vision is a feminist future where every woman and girl has the power to make her own choices and thrive.
We are recruiting a Community Builder to strengthen and grow our grassroots feminist movement. This role will support Fawcett’s Local Groups, develop clear and inclusive pathways for people to get involved, and help connect local activism with national campaigns and policy change.
This is a role for someone who believes power should be shared, not hoarded — and who is motivated by building feminist power beyond any single organisation.
About the role
Local Groups are the foundation of Fawcett’s movement. Our Local Groups campaign on local issues affecting women in their locality, and create national campaigns and policy drives based on the lived experience of their local group.
We want to do more to bring these groups together, to strengthen our support of these groups, to pull together the voices and campaigns into national policy priorities, and ensure that every member of a local group feels connected to the national movement.
This is where this new role comes in.
The Community Builder will help people set up new groups, and ensure our groups are well supported, informed, and connected, while also exploring new ways for people to organise together, including thematic and digital communities.
Alongside relationship-building, the role carries responsibility for ensuring community activity is underpinned by clear processes, agreements, and risk management, so that grassroots organising is safe and sustainable.
This is a manager-level role, working with autonomy and initiative, with scope to grow into line management in future.
What you will do
- Support and strengthen Fawcett’s local groups, building trusted relationships with activists and group leaders.
- Create clear, accessible pathways for people to set up new groups, join existing ones, or engage in other forms of feminist activism.
- Connect and embed grassroots insights and lived experience with Fawcett’s national campaigns and policy work.
- Support activists to grow their skills, confidence, and leadership in inclusive and democratic ways.
- Develop and maintain processes, agreements, and protocols that support safe, compliant, and sustainable community organising.
- Explore and assess new models and tools for feminist community-building, including digital approaches.
- Collaborate across campaigns, communications, and membership to strengthen Fawcett’s overall impact.
What we’re looking for
You don’t need to have done this exact job before.
We’re interested in people who bring:
- Experience of grassroots organising, community-building, or supporting volunteer networks (paid or unpaid).
- A strong commitment to intersectional, anti-racist feminist practice.
- An understanding of activism and how to amplify lived experience in national policy and campaigning.
- A collaborative approach to leadership and decision-making.
- Confidence working with ambiguity and helping shape new approaches where no template exists.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to build trust across diverse communities.
- Awareness of risk, safeguarding, or compliance considerations in grassroots or volunteer activity.
- Curiosity about digital tools and inclusive ways of organising.
Encouragement to apply
We know that women and people from marginalised backgrounds are less likely to apply for roles unless they meet every single criterion listed. If this role excites you and you feel you could do it well, we strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t meet 100% of the requirements.
We care about values, potential, and how you approach your work, not just whether your experience matches the role line-by-line.
Inclusion and adjustments
We are committed to making reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process. You do not need to disclose a disability to request adjustments.
Our vision is a society in which women and girls in all their diversity are equal and truly free to fulfill their potential

Against Malaria Foundation (AMF)
Donations Administrator
Part time (4 days a week) or full time (5 days)
Job Description
AMF profile
Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) was founded in 2004 and is a charity that fights malaria in a highly effective, accountable and transparent way.
We do this by purchasing and distributing multiple millions of long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) at a time in nationwide universal coverage campaigns. This is the most cost-effective way of preventing malaria. AMF receives donations from the public and last financial year we received over US$147m. AMF is particularly data-focused and monitors and reports on net use and drives and supports innovation to improve the effectiveness of malaria programmes.
AMF is the world’s third largest funder of nets.
AMF has been consistently rated a top charity for the last 16 years by independent charity evaluators GiveWell, Giving What We Can, and The Life You Can Save who focus on cost-effectiveness and impact.
We are a team of fifteen highly motivated individuals with different skills and experience. Each person has an important role to play. Whilst all team members work remotely with constant communication between them, this role is more independent. There is direct liaising with the CEO and with the Head of Technology as needed. While the team is small, the impact is big - our net distributions protect millions of people. Our largest programme is in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), where we are funding 55 million nets to protect 100 million people for distribution during 2024 to 2026. We have ongoing multi-million net programmes in other countries including Chad, Guinea, Nigeria, Togo, Uganda and Zambia.
A commitment to accountability and transparency is at the heart of what AMF does. This is in evidence in the way we manage the more than 100,000 donations AMF receives each year and the availability of our financial data, which is publicly shown in real-time. By tracking donations through our accounts and linking them to the specific distributions, donors can track where the nets funded are distributed. All revenue and expenses are entered into our bespoke systems, which manage all of the above as well as facilitating annual audits globally and in several individual countries.
Donations Administrator

Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)
Remote working with some UK and international travel
We are looking for an ambitious, experienced and passionate Chief Financial & Operations Officer (CFOO) to join The Lifescape Project, leading the evolution, management and delivery of our financial and operational capacities as the organisation grows.
Our impact as a charity depends on excellent financial management and the efficient provision of supporting operational structures, policies and ways of working. As the organisation grows and diversifies, we need a dedicated Chief Financial and Operations Officer to lead the management and development of these critical functions in close liaison with the CEO. The CFOO will be second in command to the CEO and a key member of the Management Team.
About us and the role
We are a small and quickly growing UK-registered charity whose mission is to protect and restore wild, natural landscapes. We use the skills and expertise of our multi-disciplinary team (spanning science, law, economics, technology and culture) to develop projects that pursue this mission.
We use the approach of combining disciplines to design and deliver our work because the biodiversity crisis is driven and impacted by social, economic, legal and other complex factors. It is increasingly recognised that the urgent transformative change needed for a sustainable future on our planet is most effectively achieved through this approach. The Lifescape Project has a unique ability to apply these diverse areas of expertise to our mission whilst maintaining the agility of a smaller organisation in delivering our work.
Working in pursuit of our 2020-2026 strategy, the Lifescape Project has seen rapid growth in its impact, team and revenue since commencing work in 2020. Our annual revenue has increased from £265,000 in FY 2020/2021 to £1.2m in FY 2024/2025, with further growth expected in the current FY. Our team has grown from just one to a team which will number 20 at the time of the successful CFOO candidate joining. This growth to date and planned future growth requires constant evolution of our financial and operational infrastructure and an experienced hand to guide this process, which is the core purpose of the CFOO role we are seeking to appoint.
We are excited to be hiring for this role, which will be transformational for the organisation, allowing us to develop our approach to financial and operational matters and support the continued growth of our team and impact. The role will act as second in command and will deputise for the CEO when absent. We are therefore looking for a highly capable and experienced finance and operations leader with the vision to ensure that we continue to grow in a sustainable, effective and efficient way.
We currently have a full-time manager and officer in our Finance and Operations team (F&O Team), which the CFOO will be joining to oversee, develop and guide all relevant functions. With the small size of the team at this time, the CFOO will be expected to jump into the detail in some areas. In the short term this will include delivering some of the more complex areas of the F&O team’s work, such as the audit process, multi-year financial planning and legal compliance, with support from other team members and external advisers as appropriate. If we continue to succeed in delivering our growth strategy, the role will progress over the medium term with increasing team size/supervisory duties and reducing involvement in immediate implementation. Remuneration would also increase in line with growth and assuming strong performance in the role.
