The Chilterns Conservation Board (CCB) is a statutory body established by Parliamentary Order in 2004. It is one of only two Conservation Boards in the country set up under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. Our primary role is to promote the conservation and enhancement of the natural beauty of the Chilterns AONB, now known as the Chilterns National Landscape. Where compatible with this purpose, we also promote public understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities and seek to foster the economic and social well-being of local communities.

This is a senior leadership role responsible for shaping, resourcing and delivering a high-quality portfolio of programmes and projects for the Chilterns National Landscape. The post-holder will ensure that programmes are strategically aligned to the AONB Management Plan for the Chilterns National Landscape and Organisational Strategy, and are delivered with strong governance, financial control, risk management, and measurable impact.

The role requires oversight of complex, multi-partner initiatives supported by a range of funders including Defra, the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Environment Agency and water companies. The successful applicant will be expected to bring strong programme leadership, sound judgement and the ability to balance strategic oversight with day-to-day delivery.

Key priorities include embedding effective programme and project management approaches, strengthening a culture of risk management, health and safety, compliance, and ensuring that monitoring, evaluation and learning are consistently built into delivery. The post-holder will also play a leading role in identifying opportunities, developing proposals and securing resources to sustain and grow the Chilterns National Landscape’s programme of work

Beat’s advocacy programme supports people affected by eating disorders, and their carers, to access the treatment, information and support they are entitled to within national guidance. Too often, people face barriers to care, delays in accessing treatment, or decisions that do not appear to reflect relevant guidance. The advocacy programme aims to help people challenge these barriers, understand their rights and options, and feel more confident to advocate for themselves or those they care for.

The Advocacy Coordinator will play an important role in delivering and developing this work. This will include providing direct advocacy support, working closely with Beat’s Helpline and volunteer teams, supporting self-advocacy through resources and letter writing tools, and helping to identify wider themes or systemic issues that may be affecting access to care. The postholder will need to combine empathy and strong communication skills with attention to detail, confidence in working with guidance and processes, and the ability to challenge decisions constructively where needed. This is a varied role that requires sensitivity, tenacity and a strong commitment to ensuring that people affected by eating disorders are listened to, taken seriously and able to access the care they need.

The closing date for this position is 8th July at 9am, however Beat has the right to close this position at any time, so please do submit your application early to avoid any disappointment.

Support people. Strengthen communities. Help prevent suicide.

Every week, someone reaches out to Hector's House because they are experiencing emotional distress, worried about someone they love, or trying to make sense of a suicide loss.

The response they receive can make all the difference.

We are looking for a compassionate, organised and proactive Support Coordinator to join our small but ambitious team and help us reach more people across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

This is a role where your work will have a direct and visible impact. You might be supporting someone experiencing emotional distress, helping coordinate a support group, assisting people to access the right help, or contributing to community activities that increase awareness and understanding of suicide prevention.

About Hector's House

Hector's House was founded in 2016 by the family and friends of Hector Stringer, who died by suicide aged 18.

Today, we are a trusted local charity dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting people affected by suicide across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire

Everything we do is rooted in our local communities. We are supported by local people, businesses, schools, community groups and volunteers who share our belief that suicide is preventable and that nobody should face difficult times alone.

Last year we reached more than 2,500 people through our awareness, education and support services.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple message: there is hope.

The Role

Working closely with our Support Lead, you will play a central role in delivering support to people experiencing emotional distress, those at risk of suicide, and people affected by suicide.

You will help coordinate and deliver one-to-one and group support, respond to enquiries, maintain accurate records, liaise with partner organisations, and contribute to the continued development of our services.

As a new role within the charity, this is an opportunity to help shape how support is delivered in the future.

• Communicates with warmth, empathy and professionalism.
• Can remain calm when situations are challenging.
• Understands the importance of safeguarding, confidentiality and professional boundaries.
• Is organised and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Can work independently while also being part of a close-knit team.
• Shares our values and commitment to supporting local communities.

Experience in suicide prevention, crisis support or the voluntary sector would be welcomed, but is not essential.

This is a hybrid role, by which we mean that whilst you will be home-based, we meet regularly as a team face to face in and around the Tring area, and our education and support work is often face to face in the same area, and several times in a week.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to:

• Make a genuine difference to people's lives every day.
• Join a respected and growing local charity.
• Work in a supportive, passionate and ambitious team.
• Help shape and develop a growing service.

As part of our Income Generation Team, you will work closely with the Head of Fundraising, Sponsorship & Individual Giving Officer and Community & Events Fundraiser to help deliver an annual income target of £400K+.

You’ll take ownership of a varied portfolio of trust and foundation relationships, building on warm funders while also researching and developing new prospects at the four-to six-figure level.

This role offers hands-on experience across the full trusts fundraising cycle — from research and relationship-building to bid writing, reporting and stewardship with strong support and clear opportunities to grow

We resource, connect and champion a network of over 6,300 Warm Welcome Spaces and bring together a growing coalition of local, regional, and national partners representing the worlds of charity, faith, business, government, and philanthropy. By working together, we can unlock the power of community spaces made by and for everyone, creating a thriving network of hope and reconnection fueled by human warmth. 

We’re working hard to reach everyone with the message that a Warm Welcome is waiting for them just around the corner, all through the year.

Throughout all our work and within our team we live out our values of being inclusive, collaborative and courageous and our personality that is friendly, adventurous and uplifting.

We value diversity, and we recognise the enormous benefits and the social imperative of bringing together diverse groups of people. We therefore warmly welcome applications from a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.

It’s an important moment for us – we launched a new five year strategy which shows a clear picture of the path we have set ourselves ahead to continue to deliver and deepen our impact. We launched our 100% Pledge Campaign  and in January delivered our second Warm Welcome Week in collaboration with a wide variety of partners.

On a path of growth, we are looking to build on the exciting opportunities already developed as well as continuing to explore potential. The team is growing to meet fundraising demand and maximise the wealth of opportunity available and we are looking for another team member to join us as we look to our future together.
