Jobs in Grays

Barrow Cadbury Trust is an independent, endowed charitable foundation that has been working with others to drive structural change that leads to a just and equal society for more than 100 years.

We want to effect long-term structural change through influencing, advocacy, campaigning, convening and research. We work in deep collaboration with partners, with a focus on helping build and sustain alliances and ecosystems for social change. We are also committed to supporting those directly affected by injustice to play a central role in advocating for change.

This is an exciting time to join the Trust. As Head of Migration you will manage an established grants programme that aims to support a fair and just immigration system and a more balanced migration debate. We are entering the final year of our current strategy and are looking for someone who will both manage the existing grants and partnerships and oversee an evaluation of our migration work to date, so that this learning can feed into the development of a new organisational strategy.  This role will be of interest if you are committed to social justice and want to help the Trust build on our work to make a real difference in tackling long-term structural inequality.

We have a strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion and we encourage applications from people with personal experience of the social justice and human rights issues we seek to address. All staff have the right to request flexible working and to have this considered by their manager.

Head of Trusts and Foundations

Greenpeace UK

Location: London, UK

Salary: This role is positioned with a salary range of £63,756 - £70,236 pa.

Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction.

Our vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action.  To make this a reality, we transform politics, industry and society to create a greener and fairer world.  Our mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way.  Together we show up, we stand up, and we get things done.  And we’ll do it again tomorrow.

In the last five decades, Greenpeace has become one of the foremost environmental organisations in the world, winning victories that have put climate and nature protection on the map. Fast forward to the present day, and we have gained huge momentum. Our movement is booming, environmentalism is mainstream and the solutions are more viable than ever. We look to the future from a position of strength. Now is the time to seize it.

We’re at a pivotal point in human history to turn the tide on climate change and biodiversity loss.  In order to ensure our campaigning efforts continue to be effective and to keep up the pressure on government and businesses, we fundraise from private individuals and charitable trusts and foundations who help us continue our work.  Our high-performing Fundraising Department contributes significantly towards a Global Capital Campaign to raise EUR100M for a new ship, and there is so much more we want and must do.  We are therefore looking for two talented high-value fundraising specialists and leaders to lead key areas of our activity and ensure that we continue to sustainably grow our philanthropic income. 

The Head of Trusts and Foundations is a leadership role within our Key Relationships team.  You will provide strategic direction and drive significant growth in income from charitable trusts and foundations.  This is a chance to lead a critical area of our fundraising mix, and create a step-change in activities and outcomes to increase the number and longevity of donors giving at the six and seven-figure grant level.  You will have the support of a small team as well as a well-developed operations unit, to drive our programme forward.

It is therefore essential that you bring a proven and successful track record of securing gifts from trusts and foundations at the six-figure level or more, as well as managing people and getting the best out of them.  Your creativity and highly developed relationship building skills and analytical abilities have underpinned your success so far, and you enjoy working in lock-step with colleagues to craft and convey compelling stories and cases to secure philanthropic support.  To be a successful leader in our Key Relationships team will require resilience, adaptability, and solutions-focussed approach. 

We are at a crucial point in time for both the planet and our futures.  If you are excited by the opportunity to play a significant role in turning the tide on environmental destruction and want to see a fairer, more equitable planet for all through engaging philanthropic support, please consider applying.  We’d love to hear from you.
