As the leader of a dynamic team of CRO Specialists and Developers, you’ll champion experimentation and optimisation, shaping the future of digital fundraising across a diverse portfolio of products and customer journeys.

This is your chance to collaborate with talented colleagues from UX/UI, Digital Analytics and Customer Insight, and to work together with fundraising teams from a variety of specialisms. You’ll oversee a vibrant experimentation roadmap, support the launch of a sector-leading centre of excellence, and embed best-in-class tools such as Jira to supercharge efficiency and collaboration.

About Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance
Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so nobody in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time. People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime.

This role can be fully remote, with the option to work from Perth Airport, where SCAA headquarters are located or our Aberdeen base at Aberdeen Airport, if preferred. Occasional travel to our Perth base will be required for the successful candidate.

The usual hours and days of work will be Monday to Friday, 9am—5pm.

About PVRI

PVRI is a small charity with a global reach. Our aim is to reduce the global burden of Pulmonary Vascular Disease with a particular focus on Pulmonary Hypertension (PH).

PH is a life-threatening and life-limiting condition that affects millions worldwide, but despite that, it isn’t widely recognised or well-understood. To change that, we bring together a fantastic network of many hundreds of PH doctors, academics, patients, and industry partners to identify and address the key global challenges in PH. In practical terms, we:

• Host international scientific conferences
• Produce an open-access peer reviewed academic journal, Pulmonary Circulation
• Run webinars and e-learning programmes
• Bring our members and networks together in over twenty working forums:
  • The Innovative Drug Development Initiative (IDDI): eight multidisciplinary workstreams working to solve the challenges in PVD research and speed the development of new treatment
  • Specialty Task Forces: groups working to advance understanding and improve practice in specific clinical areas of PH
  • Regional Task Forces: working in-country to address the key regional and national challenges in PH

· Raise awareness of PH and advocate for better access to diagnosis, care and treatment - nationally and internationally

We’re London-based, and our small friendly staff team comprises our CEO Karen, Head of Operations & Impact Elvia, Head of Comms Debs, Marketing Officer Catherine, Project Coordinator Rachel and Admin Manager Katie. We work a flexible hybrid model, with office space in Work.Life, close to London Bridge and Borough Market. Our preference is for our new Advocacy & Engagement Lead to spend at least 1 day a week working from our office, but we are open to other options, and this can be discussed during the application process.

Our values:  we’re open, inclusive and easy to engage with, and we’re ambitious for ourselves and for the global PVD community.

 

About the Advocacy & Engagement Lead (Global Health)

As Advocacy and Engagement Lead, you will be the bridge between our global professional network and local healthcare systems. You will scope areas of need, and work with key regional stakeholders to develop and implement plans for new PH services.

Key tasks include

· Developing roadmaps and care guidelines for the development of PH services in underserved regions

· Working directly with local healthcare leaders and PVRI Workstream and Task Forces to understand and navigate local health systems, influence policy and identify resources

· Supporting with targeted advocacy messages and global PH data including prevalence, health economics, etc.

This is an exciting new post, reporting to our Head of Operations & Impact.

If the 2-year pilot is successful, we hope to make this work a permanent part of our global operations.

We offer flexible working, a positive learning culture and opportunities for you to learn and grow in the role, including opportunities for international travel.

PVRI celebrates diversity, and we’re committed to equity and inclusion in our recruitment practices and in our ways of working. If you’re excited about our mission, and can bring talent and enthusiasm to our cause, we’d love to hear from you.

Neighbourhood Housing Project Lead (Sheffield and Scunthorpe)

Fixed term (18-months), full-time post, 40 hours per week (1 FTE), inclusive of breaks 

Salary: £42,752 (National)

Regular travel to Sheffield and Scunthorpe will be required. Occasional travel to London will be required.

 

Building Tomorrow – Neighbourhood Housing Project Lead

Oasis exists to build stronger communities where there is no one left out. Building Tomorrow is an innovative new neighbourhood housing programme that Oasis is developing in Sheffield and Scunthorpe.

We are pioneering a new community-led solution to housing challenges in two communities where Oasis already works, running five schools and two community Hubs. We are working to develop quality housing that offers opportunity for families to find a stable and supportive place of belonging in community.

The programme will combine quality housing, excellent education (provided through Oasis academies), and community wrap-around support (delivered through our existing youth and community teams). This programme is designed to offer a preventative approach to housing challenges, acting as a proof of concept that can be replicated in other communities around the country. 

This role will act as the central point of coordination which will ensure Building Tomorrow moves successfully from initiation to full activation over the initial 18-month period. In the activation period, we will purchase and refurbish the 20 properties, and this role will work in close coordination with our property consultants. As properties are purchased, we will begin to move into the delivery phase, where we start to house families.

This role requires a person who:

· Loves organisation and turning complex plans into simple, actionable steps.

· Is a fantastic communicator – someone who can talk to a contractor, a community leader, and a new resident with  equal ease and effectiveness.

· Thrives on problem-solving and is comfortable making quick, informed decisions to keep the project on track.

Why might you consider Oasis?

We work in 52 local neighbourhoods in the UK, building stronger communities. Our place-based, holistic neighbourhood work brings together local people to create belonging, opportunity, and change.

Where you live and grow up in the UK determines a lot about your opportunities and life chances – your access to public services, education, employment, housing, life expectancy and much more. We work in many communities where poverty and inequality are deep rooted. We know too many families and individuals feel excluded and ignored, lacking hope that anything will change for themselves or their children. We are not content with this disparity. Together we deliver joined-up education, youth work and family support, housing, church and community work, so that everyone can thrive.

Over the past four decades we’ve set up different parts of our organisation to develop expertise and deliver our mission to build stronger communities.

- A network of 56 Oasis Academies (Oasis Community Learning).

- Youth and community work (Oasis Community Partnerships)

- Homelessness and housing (Oasis Community Housing)

- Secure education for young people (Oasis Restore)

- Anti-human trafficking work (STOP THE TRAFFIK)

What will you do?

The key areas of responsibility for the role are as follows:

· To act as the main link between all stakeholders: the Oasis teams including academies; contractors; and any community partners. To make sure everyone is communicating effectively and working toward the same goal.

· To work in close collaboration with Oasis Community Leaders in Sheffield and Scunthorpe. To support the Community Leaders and wider community teams to welcome families by acting as a key part of the community support offer through the 18-month activation phase.

· To own the 18-month master plan. This will involve tracking progress, analysing potential delays, and proactively solving problems so the activation stays on time and on budget.

· To focus on transitioning the housing element from a period of acquisition and refurbishment into functioning homes. This includes everything from smooth resident move-ins to ensuring the community support is fully accessible.

· To work alongside colleagues in the Operations Group to design operational processes including the community support offer, housing management systems, and tenancy arrangements. 

· To help the team set clear, achievable goals for the activation period and then track whether those goals are being met, providing regular, honest updates to all stakeholders.

· To support the Group CEO in liaising with our social investor.

What will you get in return?

· A network of peers and partners all sharing the same vision and an environment set up to ensure everyone is supported and included.

· A package of reward that includes a 7% employer contribution pension scheme, annual leave allowance starting at 25 days (plus Bank Holidays) increasing over time, eligibility to join the Green Commute cycle to work scheme and cash benefit health plan.

· Be part of an international network of Oasis charities offering opportunities to develop your career in new directions and locations.

· A competitive salary and workplace flexibility.
