About MAP
London, United Kingdom (Hybrid) – 2 days per week in the office.
MAP’s vision is a future in which all Palestinians can access an effective, sustainable and locally led system of healthcare and the full realisation of their rights to health and dignity. To achieve this, we work in collaboration with Palestinian communities and trusted local partners, and coordinate with key stakeholders and relevant clusters, to answer a wide range of health and social needs, from providing vital medical aid in emergencies, to supporting the development of better health services for the long term. We also uplift the voices of Palestinians, and campaign for an end to the barriers to health and dignity that come from living through occupation, displacement, discrimination and conflict.
In the past, MAP has grown at times of intense crises for Palestinians living under occupation and as refugees, and then shrunk once these crises have abated. The needs of Palestinians, following developments since October 2023, are now acute and certain to be ongoing for many years to come. That shrinking is not an option for MAP. We must grow sustainably, and we must have a demonstrable positive impact across the communities we serve. Accordingly, we have set ourselves the following strategic ambition, to guide our work until 2028: “MAP will be a high-performing, international organisation with an annual income of at least £50 million by 2028 and to enable one million Palestinians to access quality and effective healthcare every year.”
Aligned to the organisational strategy, the overarching purpose of MAP’s fundraising approach is: “To enable MAP supporters to play a long-term role in creating a healthier, more dignified future for Palestinian communities by offering meaningful and lasting opportunities to engage, support and amplify.” To ensure MAP can achieve our strategic ambition of growth and impact, we are committed to driving our annual income to £50 million by 2028, raising more than £200 million over the strategic period.
About the role
This is a pivotal time to be joining MAP’s dynamic Fundraising and Marketing Team. In the last two years we have raised around £100 million. You will play a crucial role in expanding our impact by helping to raise funding for our existing projects, and for the further development and growth of the organisation. We are looking for a proactive, experienced, and motivated individual with the ability to lead and develop an established Trusts and Foundations programme to achieve ambitious income targets. As an integral part of the MAP team, you will be energetic and creative, bringing strong knowledge and leadership to the team.
This is a great opportunity for a results-driven Trusts and Foundations Manager who is passionate about working for the health and dignity of Palestinians to join a fun, dedicated, and ambitious team. We are seeking a dedicated professional who is able to work two days per week in our London office. This is really important to us because this is a donor-facing role with line management responsibilities. It will also involve working with colleagues across the charity. MAP has a flexible working policy to support employees with additional needs, caring responsibilities etc. However, it will not be possible for this role to be completely remote.
Key Responsibilities:
- Day to day line management and professional development support for the Trusts and Foundations Officer
- Develop and lead a Trusts and Foundations programme at MAP to secure income from active and cold audiences, focusing on donors giving £50,000+ per annum.
- Identify new channels to grow income from Trusts and Foundations outside of the charity’s existing networks.
- Lead a strategy to maximise income by seeking opportunities and pursuing these opportunities to their full potential.
- Develop and deliver tailored proposals and stewardship plans, proactively improving knowledge capture and MAP’s understanding of supporters.
- Work with MAP’s Prospect Research Manager to identify, research, and cultivate leads to build a strong pipeline of Trusts and Foundations prospects that will have a significant, positive impact on income.
- Develop and implement a range of cultivation tools.
- Monitor, review and evaluate performance against strategic and operational plans, reports and financial forecasts.

About the Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN)
The Nature Friendly Farming Network (NFFN) is a farmer-led organisation helping farmers restore the balance between farming and nature. We support farmers by sharing knowledge, resources and case studies that help boost food production, protect wildlife, and build climate resilience.
We influence policy to secure fair rewards for farmers who care for nature, and we connect like-minded farmers across the UK.
Our network is open to all: farmers, the public and partner organisations.
About the Role
We are looking for a Head of Finance and Income Operations to lead NFFN’s finance function and help strengthen the systems, controls and reporting that will support the organisation’s next stage of growth.
This is a senior leadership role at the heart of a small, ambitious and mission-led organisation. You will oversee day-to-day financial management, budgeting, management accounts, restricted funds, funder reporting and income operations. You will also help improve how finance works across NFFN, giving budget holders clearer information and helping the organisation make confident, well-informed decisions.
The role is about more than keeping the numbers moving. We are looking for someone who can help build a stronger finance function, improve internal systems, support funder confidence, and help NFFN manage a more complex mix of grants, donations, restricted funding and revenue-based delivery work.
Depending on your background, this may suit someone with strong charity finance experience, or someone from a finance, grants, funding operations or mission-led commercial background who wants to use their skills in a values-led organisation.
Key responsibilities include:
-
leading day-to-day financial management, controls and reporting
-
preparing budgets, forecasts, management accounts and financial updates
-
supporting budget holders with clear, practical financial information
-
improving finance systems, processes, approvals and reporting tools
-
overseeing restricted funds, grant conditions, funder reporting and income tracking
-
supporting funding applications with budgets, financial information and reporting structures
-
helping NFFN manage VAT, full cost recovery and different types of income as the organisation grows
-
working with the CEO, CSO, Head of Fundraising, SLT, Board and external advisers
-
providing line management to the Head of Fundraising and potential future roles within the finance and income operations function
This role will suit someone who combines financial rigour with practical judgement. You will need to be comfortable working independently in a remote organisation, explaining finance clearly to non-finance colleagues, and improving systems in a way that is proportionate and realistic for a small non profit organisation.
We know this is a broad role, and we are not expecting one person to have done everything before. We are looking for someone with strong financial experience, good judgement, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in helping NFFN build the financial infrastructure it needs for the future.
This is a fully home-based role, with flexibility in how work is managed and occasional travel for team meetings and events. You will be joining a collaborative, values-led team working to support farmers, nature and a more resilient food system.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Do you believe every child deserves the chance to discover the joy of reading? Are you passionate about books and the power they have to unlock confidence, imagination and opportunity? If so, we'd love you to join our team.
As a Reading Project Leader, you'll play a vital role in helping us bring the magic of reading into the homes of children in London living with little or no access to books and reading.
You'll coordinate three weekly reading projects across London (two in Lambeth and one in Kensington & Chelsea), leading and supporting up to ten volunteers at each session. Based within the local community, you'll ensure each project runs smoothly, creating a welcoming, organised and enjoyable experience for the children and families we work with.
This is a hands-on role at the heart of our work. As well as leading volunteers, you'll visit families yourself to read with children, so you'll be comfortable carrying books and equipment, and using stairs. Administrative work can be completed from home or the office.
We're looking for someone who is organised, energetic and approachable, with excellent interpersonal skills and a genuine enthusiasm for working with people. You'll build trusted relationships with volunteers, children and families, becoming a familiar and encouraging presence in the community. You'll be confident, practical and able to adapt as situations arise, while always keeping our mission at the centre of everything you do.
This is a rewarding opportunity to see the direct impact of your work every week. By supporting families to enjoy reading together, you'll help give children the confidence, curiosity and love of learning that can change lives.

About the role:
At the heart of Camden’s response to street homelessness, the Rough Sleeping Outreach & Hub Service works across streets, transport hubs and a central support hub to ensure that no one is left facing rough sleeping alone. This is an integrated, borough-wide service focused on early engagement, reducing harm and supporting people to move away from the streets towards safety, accommodation and longer-term stability.
As an Outreach Worker, you’ll be a consistent and trusted presence for people sleeping rough or at risk of rough sleeping. Working flexibly across street outreach and hub-based support on a rota basis, you’ll build meaningful relationships, carry out trauma-aware assessments and coordinate practical support that helps people take their next steps.
You’ll work within a 'No Wrong Door' approach, supporting people wherever and however they engage. That might mean meeting someone early in the morning on outreach, supporting them to access the hub later that day, or working alongside partners to remove barriers that have kept them excluded in the past.
This is a role with variety, challenge and real impact. You’ll respond to complex situations, manage risk thoughtfully, and support people through moments of crisis and change. The work can be unpredictable and includes early, late and weekend shifts as part of a 7-day rota – but you won’t be doing it alone. You’ll be supported through reflective practice, supervision and training, as part of a skilled, compassionate and determined team.
If you’re motivated by persistence, partnership and meaningful outcomes, this is a chance to grow your skills while helping others move forward with dignity and hope.
About you:
- You’re motivated by helping people move away from harm and towards stability. You understand that progress isn’t always linear, and you bring patience, persistence and empathy to your work.
- You use a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and can stay calm and professional when situations are complex. You balance compassion with clear boundaries and use your judgement to manage risk and safeguarding effectively.
- You work well in a fast-moving environment. You can manage competing priorities, work independently in the community and keep clear, accurate records that support continuity and accountability.
- You value partnership and collaboration. You’re confident working alongside housing, health, substance use and community safety services to deliver joined-up support and meaningful outcomes.
- You’re flexible and reliable, and comfortable working across a rota that includes early and late shifts, evenings and weekends. You’re open to working both on outreach and within a hub setting, adapting to service need while keeping people at the centre of what you do.
About us:
We’re London’s leading homelessness charity – and we get things done.
In a city where hundreds are forced into homelessness every day, our work has never been more needed or more challenging. And we’re not shying away. We’re rolling up our sleeves to make change and helping over 10,000 Londoners every year. We prevent homelessness, provide safe places to live and give people the opportunity to rebuild their lives and transform their futures. And we never give up.
We’re here for Londoners wherever they are on their journey. We start with trust, building relationships that help people feel safe, supported, and ready to move forward. Every day, we put people first in everything we do, challenging injustice and barriers that keep people from the safety, stability and opportunity they deserve. We stand alongside people as they rebuild and shape a future that feels their own.
Joining Single Homeless Project means joining a team that’s bold, compassionate and determined to do better for the people we support and for each other. You’ll work alongside colleagues with lived experience, in a space that’s trans-inclusive, disability-friendly, and actively striving to be anti-oppressive and equitable.
We’re not perfect, but we’re real. We listen. We learn. And we push forward, together. Because this isn’t just a job. It’s a chance to lead with empathy, spark change, and help build a London where no one is left behind.

Help shape high-quality gambling treatment services at a time of growth and change.
This is an exciting opportunity to lead high-quality gambling treatment services across GamCare’s South region, covering Greater London and the South East.
As Treatment Service Manager, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across a defined service footprint, ensuring services are safe, effective, well governed and focused on improving outcomes for people affected by gambling harms.
You will lead Team Leaders and multidisciplinary teams to deliver clear and consistent treatment pathways, from assessment and allocation through to intervention and aftercare. You will also oversee performance, safeguarding, quality, budgets and contractual outcomes, using data, feedback and lived experience to drive continuous improvement.
A key part of the role will be building strong relationships with commissioners, funders, NHS services, local authorities, VCSE partners and other stakeholders. You will help strengthen referral pathways, improve service integration and build confidence in gambling treatment services across a complex and changing external environment.
About you
We are looking for an experienced service leader with a strong background in health, social care, VCSE, addiction, mental health, substance misuse or another relevant complex needs environment. You will have experience managing multidisciplinary teams, delivering against performance and quality standards, and working within commissioned or partnership-based services.

Just as importantly, you will be an excellent communicator and relationship-builder, able to influence across systems and work collaboratively with internal and external partners. Experience of gambling harms is welcome but not essential; what matters most is your ability to lead services, build trust and help shape support that makes a real difference.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead GamCare’s Probation Innovation Strand – a specialist treatment pathway designed to improve access, engagement and outcomes for people under Probation supervision.
As Probation Pathway Manager, you will shape and oversee a pathway that connects gambling treatment with probation, criminal justice and community support. You will lead delivery, strengthen referral routes, support specialist practitioners and work with partners to make sure people can access safe, trauma-informed support across custody and community settings.
You will play a key role in building trusted relationships with Probation, HMPPS and wider justice partners, using data, insight and lived experience to improve the pathway, evidence impact and remove barriers to engagement. This is a hands-on leadership role with real scope to influence practice, improve systems and support better outcomes for people affected by gambling harms.
About you
You will be an experienced service leader with a background in health, social care, VCSE, criminal justice, addiction, mental health or another complex service environment.
You will bring strong people management skills, confidence overseeing service delivery, and the ability to manage risk, performance and quality in a multi-agency setting. You will be a natural relationship-builder, able to influence partners, build trust and turn ideas into practical improvements.
Experience of probation, criminal justice, resettlement, trauma-informed services, pathway development or service mobilisation would be particularly welcome. Above all, you will be motivated by the chance to shape a new pathway that helps people access the right support at a critical point in their lives.
