This is an exciting opportunity to use academic research to drive global affordable housing impact, working with a UK-based international charity to build thematic expertise and generate new income for its work.

Globally, there are 1.2 billion people without somewhere decent to call home. Reall’s vision is housing markets in Africa and Asia that work for people, prosperity and planet, which it seeks to achieve through investing in affordable housing, using research and data to build evidence, and leveraging this to advocate for change. Reall has been a global leader in promoting affordable housing in Africa and Asia for over 30 years. Their work has transformed the lives of over 3 million people, created 200,000 jobs, brought clean water to 500,000 people and expanded sanitation to over a million. 

This position is part of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) funded by Innovate UK, aimed at driving impactful collaboration between academic expertise and industry. This 2-year KTP project reflects Reall’s ongoing investment in academic collaboration and commercial development. It will use the development of specialist gender- and climate-focussed knowledge to support Reall’s shift from reliance on a single funding source to a more diverse income model, including expansion of Reall’s consultancy services. The Associate will play a crucial role in this transformation by working with Reall and University of Warwick staff to: 

• Lead the integration of gender and climate innovations and best practices into Reall’s housing work. 

• Lead the development of frameworks to evaluate gender and climate impacts. 

• Lead the production of thought leadership materials to enhance Reall’s commercial reach and elevate its influence and standing within the sector. 

• Support the positioning of affordable housing as a global solution to gender and climate challenges, and Reall’s role within this. 

• Support the creation of a strategic business development plan that leverages climate and gender expertise to rapidly increase Reall’s grant and consultancy contract income streams 

• Establishing methods to assess and demonstrate the impact of housing programmes. 

This project is a unique opportunity to shape an innovative charity’s growth and global impact.  Designed to deliver meaningful impact for Reall, University of Warwick and the Associate themselves, the Associate will be at the forefront of driving real-world change and directly feeding into organisational decision making. With strong professional development support from Reall, University of Warwick and UKRI, this role is an ideal opportunity to grow in sectoral experience, raise an academic profile, and grow in leadership capacity. This is a chance to contribute to sustainable global development, shape the direction of an organisation, and support a high impact career. 

The KTP Associate will bring specialist knowledge and skills to investigate and integrate gender and climate considerations into affordable housing strategies. We are looking for a motivated and innovative individual, with the ability to apply academic insights to real-world challenges, and the potential to become a sector leader with the capacity to lead this project. 

Key attributes and skills of the ideal candidate include: 

• Expertise in gender studies, climate studies, international development, housing or a related field, with a strong understanding of these issues in global south contexts. We are especially interested in candidates with prior research or policy experience in international development and housing, and its intersections with climate and gender. 

• Analytical skills to design and evaluate frameworks that measure gender and climate impacts within housing projects. 

• Research experience, collaborating with academic researchers and development practitioners, with a proven track record of producing research that drives impact.

• Business development experience, managing or supporting business development activities (research grants or consultancy contracts), or working within the consultancy space. 

• Strategic thinking to create effective, action-oriented business development and impact evaluation methodologies. 

• Effective communication to present complex ideas clearly and persuasively to diverse audiences, including stakeholders and funders. 

• Adaptability and problem-solving abilities to drive the project’s success in a dynamic environment. 

• A collaborative mindset to work closely with Reall’s team and academic partners, contributing to thought leadership and strategic initiatives. 

Primarily based within Reall and its Coventry offices, you will collaborate with a dynamic team of Reall staff and University of Warwick academics to embed new gender and climate knowledge across the organisation’s operations and partnerships. This will be achieved through staff training, collaborative working, and the development of impactful resources. University of Warwick’s Politics and International Studies (PAIS) and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) departments will offer specialized academic support and guidance to ensure Reall remains a forward-thinking leader in affordable, sustainable housing, underpinned by world-class research. UKRI will simultaneously facilitate professional development through mentoring and cohort support with other KTP associates. 

This is a unique opportunity for someone passionate about creating meaningful change through gender and climate-responsive development. 

PAIS and GSD are interdisciplinary departments that sit within the University of Warwick’s Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Arts respectively. Both departments share the view that the best research comes from looking at issues from a wide range of perspectives, inside and outside of academia, and from different fields of study. Together, both departments are committed to creating a supportive research environment where everyone can succeed. We believe that research is most impactful when it works towards improving lives around the world. 

Although based at Reall’s offices in Coventry, the Associate will be a University of Warwick staff member within PAIS. PAIS values diversity and is dedicated to promoting equality and challenging discrimination. The department has been awarded the Athena Swan Silver Award, a prestigious charter mark for the advancement of gender equality in higher education. We encourage applications from groups that are currently underrepresented in PAIS, including Black, Asian, and other ethnic minorities, women, people with disabilities, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and those from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Our aim is to provide the support needed for all our staff and students to thrive in the department.

Join Boaz Trust as our first Head of Fundraising and lead the growth of a passionate, values-driven charity supporting people at risk of homelessness due to their immigration status. Help shape strategy, build relationships, and grow income to expand our impact across Greater Manchester.

At Boaz Trust, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to call home. For over 20 years, we’ve provided accommodation and specialist support to people who are facing homelessness and destitution because of their insecure or unresolved immigration status. Last year we worked with more than 600 people and, thanks to our dedicated support team, since April 2024 alone, 188 individuals now have somewhere safe to stay, instead of having no choice but to sleep outside.

We’re now looking for a strategic, relationship-driven fundraiser to join our senior team and shape a new phase of growth. As our first Head of Fundraising, you’ll play a vital role in transforming strong but reactive income streams into a thriving, sustainable programme that enables us to support more people, more effectively.

We have an engaged and generous supporter base, particularly among individuals, churches and other groups across Greater Manchester. Trusts and Foundations fundraising is also well established, with an experienced team member already in post. This new role will focus on strengthening and growing Individual Giving and Church/Community partnerships, both areas with significant potential. You’ll bring vision and strategy to supporter journeys, deepen engagement and stewardship, and explore opportunities in areas like Corporate Giving and Legacy fundraising.

This is a senior leadership role, reporting directly to the CEO and contributing to our wider organisational development. You’ll line manage our Senior Fundraising Officer, with the potential to expand the team as income grows. You’ll also work closely with our Advocacy and Communications Team to ensure supporter communications reflect our values and amplify our impact.

We’re looking for someone with experience in Individual Giving and relationship fundraising, who understands the power of storytelling, data, and connection. You’ll be a collaborative and empathetic leader, able to build trust with colleagues and inspire supporters. You might already be a Head of Fundraising or looking to step into your first senior role - either way, we’ll provide tailored support and professional development to help you succeed.

Above all, you’ll be someone who shares our belief in justice, compassion, and the dignity of every person. If you’re ready to make a lasting difference with and for people seeking sanctuary, we’d love to hear from you.
