Our charity

Together we want to ensure that every young person has the opportunity to learn new skills, build confidence and be inspired through their cadet experience.

We want to develop the youth leadership and training abilities of adult volunteers whilst also helping young people to access cadet activities through fundraising, grant-making, developing new resources and direct support.

We strongly believe that everyone benefits when you help young people to develop their character and values through activities that stretch and mature them.

Why we’re needed

Across the UK, over 4 million children are currently living in poverty, driving increasing demand for essential items and support for families with young children. In 2024 alone, baby banks supported over 219,000 families, a 35% increase on the previous year.

And demand is outpacing supply. Many baby banks are being forced to turn families away.

Baby banks are community-led organisations that provide essential items such as clothing, nappies and equipment to families with young children experiencing poverty or crisis. They operate in diverse ways and often offer support and signposting in addition to the material goods, reflecting the needs of their local communities. Baby banks have grown rapidly over the past decade in response to rising levels of need. However, this growth has largely been organic and fragmented.

BBA exists to support, unite and advocate for baby banks: strengthening collective impact, unlocking national opportunities, and helping a fast-growing and diverse movement operate with greater voice, reach and resilience.

The Baby Bank Alliance (BBA) was co-founded by Purposeful Ventures, Save the Children UK, Little Village and the Bristol Baby Bank Network. Since its founding, BBA has built strong national partnerships, secured significant funding and goods for baby banks, and raised the profile of the sector through national media and corporate partnerships (including with organisations such as IKEA).

Currently incubated by Purposeful Ventures and Save the Children UK, BBA is now moving into its next phase: in Summer 2027 we will become an independent organisation and are on the journey to build the national recognition, scale and sustainability to meet growing need.

BBA continues to work closely with its co-founders and incubating partners, who are expected to remain important collaborators as the organisation transitions to independence.

The Opportunity

This is a rare opportunity to lead a high-impact organisation at a pivotal moment.

BBA’s achievements to date:

• A national member network of 256+ baby banks
• Current income of ~£1m, with clear ambition to grow significantly
• Grants of >£650k in unrestricted funding to members, with more to follow in Summer 2026
• Distribution of significant gift-in-kind: 13 electric vans; 326 laptops; >£400k worth of toiletries; hundreds of pieces of equipment like prams and high chairs; thousands of toys, nappies, and books
• National media coverage, including features in the Independent, a leading segment on ITV’s Good Morning Britain, plus coverage on BBC News, BBC Breakfast, the One Show, ITV Calendar News, Radio 5 Live, Times Radio and local BBC radio stations
• Confirmed and in-principle support commitments from key partners, including support expected through the current strategy period, providing a strong platform for growth

We are looking for a CEO who can:

• Secure major income and strategic partnerships
• Build BBA’s profile and credibility as the national voice of baby banks
• Lead the successful transition to independence and long-term sustainability
• Keep baby banks and the families they support at the heart of BBA’s work

Job Description

Initially, this role will be employed by Purposeful Ventures. Once BBA becomes independent, the CEO and other members of the BBA team will transfer to direct BBA employment under TUPE. Your terms and conditions of employment will remain unchanged.

What success looks like:

• Income growth: 50% increase in income by 2028, enabling increased funding to member baby banks and investment in BBA’s own capability and resilience.
• Public awareness: increased awareness of baby banks, driving stronger partnerships, broader public support and greater ability to unlock income and influence.
• Independence: a successful transition to an independent organisation in Summer 2027, retaining strong relationships with co-founders and incubating partners.

• Organisational leadership: a small but highly effective central team, operating in line with BBA’s principles and with the needs of baby banks at the heart of decision-making.

Purpose of the Role

The Chief Executive Officer will lead the Baby Bank Alliance through its transition to independence and into its next phase of growth.

This is a unique opportunity to shape a growing national organisation — building long-term sustainability, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring BBA can continue to support baby banks across the UK.

The role is externally focused, with a strong emphasis on growing income, building partnerships and raising BBA’s profile, alongside leading a small, committed team. Working closely with the co-founders and incubating partners, drawing on their expertise and networks, will remain crucial in the transition to independence and beyond.

Key Responsibilities

Fundraising & Income Growth

• Lead an ambitious approach to income growth, increasing and diversifying funding to support BBA’s long-term sustainability
• Build and secure high-value, multi-year partnerships across corporate, philanthropic and trust audiences
• Develop and manage a strong pipeline of opportunities, ensuring consistent progress from relationship-building to secured funding
• Oversee national funding and goods partnerships that unlock resources for baby banks at scale

Strategic Leadership & Independence

• Lead BBA’s transition from incubation to independence, shaping its future model, governance and direction
• Refine and deliver the organisation’s strategy, turning priorities into clear and achievable plans
• Ensure BBA has a clear and confident position within the child poverty and voluntary sector landscape

External Profile & Sector Leadership

• Build BBA’s reputation as the trusted national voice of baby banks
• Develop strong relationships with funders, partners, government and sector organisations
• Represent BBA externally, helping to grow awareness of baby banks and the role they play in supporting families

Governance & Board Partnership

• Work closely with the Chair and Board to ensure strong governance and accountability
• Support the Board’s development as BBA becomes independent
• Provide clear and useful insight to support good decision-making

Organisational Leadership & Delivery

• Provide clear, values-led leadership, creating a supportive and collaborative culture
• Work closely with the Exec Lead to ensure continuity and strong delivery during the transition period
• Put in place the systems, structures and ways of working needed for a growing organisation

Safeguarding, Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

• Ensure safeguarding is appropriately embedded in BBA’s work, with clear oversight and proportionate approaches
• Champion equity, diversity and inclusion in how BBA works internally and supports baby banks across the UK

Financial Stewardship

• Hold overall responsibility for BBA’s financial sustainability
• Oversee budgeting, financial planning and resource allocation
• Ensure funds are used effectively to deliver the greatest possible impact

Person Specification

Essential Experience

• Senior leadership experience (CEO, Director or equivalent) within a charity or social impact organisation
• A strong track record of securing funding and building partnerships
• Experience of working with Boards and leading organisational growth or change
• Experience in child poverty, family support, community-based services, membership or network organisations, or closely related fields

Essential Skills & Attributes

• Strong strategic thinking with a practical, delivery-focused approach
• Confident and credible communicator, able to represent BBA externally
• Strong relationship builder, comfortable working across different stakeholders
• Strong financial acumen, with experience in leading budgeting, forecasting and strategic decision making
• Comfortable working in a developing organisation and able to bring structure, clarity and pace
• Collaborative, values-led leadership style
• Motivated by the impact of baby banks and the families they support

Desirable

• Experience of organisational spin-out or transition to independence
• Experience within a membership or network organisation
• Experience working in or alongside baby banks

Join Us in Making a Difference at Marie Curie

Marie Curie is the UK’s leading end-of-life charity, dedicated to ensuring that everyone facing the end of life has access to the care, support, and dignity they deserve. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK and the only organisation to operate across all four nations. Through our network of community nursing, hospice care, and comprehensive information and support, we are here for people and families when they need us most.

Job Description

Your Role in Our Vision

The Stories Officer is a pivotal role within our high-performing Stories team, helping ensure authentic lived experiences sit at the heart of everything we do at Marie Curie.

In this role you’ll work with people at some of the most vulnerable moments of their lives. Not only patients, but families, carers and volunteers, and people affected by poor end-of-life experiences, financial instability and inequality. Some of these stories are hopeful and life-affirming; others are complex, emotional and challenging. You’ll also work with our nurses and healthcare assistants to showcase the dedication and pride they bring to the expert care they provide every day across the UK.

You’ll seek out, gather and steward powerful lived experiences, ensuring they are handled with care, dignity and responsibility, and used ethically and impactfully across our campaigns and communications.

This is a role for someone who combines excellent storytelling skills with deep empathy, resilience and strong organisational ability. You’ll be trusted with people’s stories at a time when trust really matters.

What you’ll be doing

• Sourcing, interviewing and writing accurate, emotive personal stories that reflect a wide range of end-of-life experiences, including both the impact of Marie Curie’s work and the realities faced by those without access to good care
• Speaking sensitively with people about deeply personal experiences, including diagnosis, grief, financial instability and poor end-of-life care, and supporting them throughout the storytelling process
• Working collaboratively with Social, PR, Fundraising, Caring Services and Communications teams to shape and adapt stories for different audiences and channels, including social media, our website, PR & media and fundraising appeals
• Managing storytelling elements within priority, sometimes fast-moving campaigns, often juggling multiple workstreams and deadlines at the same time
• Building and maintaining trusted relationships with storytellers and Caring Services colleagues, ensuring contributors feel informed, respected and in control of how their experiences are shared
• Managing consent, permissions and storyteller records in line with GDPR and organisational policies
• Championing inclusive, ethical storytelling and best practice across the charity, balancing organisational need with individual wellbeing

What you’ll bring

You’ll have experience from a stories, content, PR or fundraising role within a charity or purpose-driven organisation, alongside a strong instinct for human-centred storytelling.

You’re emotionally intelligent and resilient, able to manage boundaries while working with people going through difficult times, while also managing competing priorities and demands.

You’ll also bring:

• Excellent writing, editing and interviewing skills, with strong attention to detail
• Experience sourcing and adapting stories for different channels, including social media and PR
• The ability to manage multiple projects and workloads at once, prioritising effectively in a busy, multi-tasking environment
• Confidence to build trusted relationships and influence colleagues collaboratively
• A clear understanding of GDPR, informed consent and ethical story usage
• Awareness of equality, diversity and inclusion in a storytelling context
• Experience using CMS or asset management systems, and adapting quickly to new digital tools

This role is deeply rewarding, but it isn’t always easy. You’ll hear difficult stories and work at pace during high-profile campaigns. We’re looking for someone who shares our values, understands the realities of end-of-life inequality, and is committed to telling human stories with honesty, compassion and purpose.

REF-228 541

Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager — Go Beyond £35,000–£37,000 | Fully Remote | Permanent | Full-time

Go Beyond has given over 21,000 vulnerable children life-changing residential breaks since 1994. Young carers who spend their days looking after parents. Children living in poverty for whom a school holiday means hunger, not adventure. Kids who've been bullied or bereaved and need a week away from their ordinary life.

The charity is entirely self-funded. £1.8 million a year, every penny raised by supporters. No government money. Which means the work this fundraising team does is directly and specifically what makes those breaks possible.

This is the role that sits at the heart of that.

What makes this moment unusual:

Go Beyond's flagship campaign, Ice Cream Moments, launches this summer — backed by Louis Theroux, James Acaster, David Gower and Jenny Agutter. The trustees want to go viral. A legacy programme is built and ready to launch. An alumni programme connecting with 21,000+ former beneficiaries is research-complete and waiting for someone to open the door. And a loyal supporter base of 200–300 regular givers — many of whom have been giving for over a decade — is generating £90,000 a year with almost no stewardship behind it.

Sara, the Director of Fundraising, describes what's needed like this: "Think of this as your own company. Think of this income stream as your domain — you could make it something amazing."

What the role involves:

The Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager will own the supporter communications function end to end. This is a project management and strategy role — not an execution role. The doing sits with two direct reports and a network of freelancers. Your job is to build the plan, manage the team, deliver the campaigns and make sure the data tells you what's working.

In practice that means:

• Building and managing proper supporter journeys for regular givers, challenge event runners and Ice Cream Moments donors
• Project managing the full campaigns calendar — four annual appeals, Ice Cream Moments, challenge events, and a growing digital communications programme
• Developing and implementing a data strategy, setting up income dashboards and overseeing the CRM
• Launching the legacy programme and, in time, the alumni programme
• Managing two direct reports: a Digital Marketing Officer and a Data & Admin / Challenge Events Officer
• Writing an 18-month strategy with proper pipelines and income forecasts

What we're looking for:

This is not a pure fundraiser role or a pure marketing role. It's a hybrid — and the right person will see that as a feature, not a confusion.

• A track record of owning campaigns end to end — not being part of them, owning them. Specific examples, with dates, outputs and results
• Genuine data literacy — comfortable in a CRM, able to run queries, understand segmentation. Not expert-level, but curious enough that you're never caught out
• Financial awareness — you ask what the target is before anything else. You work backwards from an income number
• Hands-on as well as strategic — you can delegate and direct, but you can also do
• Strong project management — multiple workstreams, freelancers, deadlines you can't move

Charity sector experience is welcome but not essential. Commercial direct marketing, agency-side or individual giving backgrounds are all genuinely considered.

What Go Beyond offers:

• £35,000–£37,000 with annual pay review benchmarked to sector
• Fully remote — with the option to use Go Beyond's centres in Cornwall and Derbyshire
• 28 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Friday afternoons off — the whole business shuts down, every week
• Management training through the British Growth Fund's six-week programme
• A collaborative, supportive team culture in a genuinely mission-driven organisation

This role will suit you if:

You're energised by building rather than maintaining. You want to own a function, not just a job title. You think in income as well as engagement. And you want to be part of something where the work — the campaigns, the supporter journeys, the data — is directly connected to a child getting a break they wouldn't otherwise have had.

This role is being recruited exclusively through Raise + Recruit, an independent executive search adviser specialising in the charity sector. All enquiries are handled in complete confidence — including from your current employer.

To find out more or to express interest, contact John Austin. No lengthy application process at this stage — a conversation is all it takes.
