Our Second Home is the UK’s youth movement of young people with refugee backgrounds. Since 2018, we have supported over 750 young people from 53 countries to build community, develop leadership skills, and flourish into adulthood in the place they now call home.

Our work begins with transformational residential experiences, where young people form friendships, grow in confidence, and experience belonging – often for the first time since arriving in the UK. From there, many go on to take part in our Leadership Training Programme and local Youth Hubs in London and Bristol, before returning as peer leaders themselves. This cycle of engagement, growth and leadership is at the heart of our theory of change.

We are now entering a pivotal phase of our development, delivering a new 2025–2028 strategy focused on sustainable growth, deeper impact, and long-term resilience. Fundraising is central to this ambition.

The role (Read the recruitment pack for more information)

We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to act as the organisation’s operational lead for income generation. This is a part-time role (18–24 hours per week) with significant flexibility, ideal for someone who is organised, thoughtful, and motivated by building something meaningful.

The Fundraising Manager will manage and coordinate income across five strands: trusts and foundations, major donors, corporate foundations, individual and digital giving, and statutory funding. While the role has a strong trusts and foundations focus, it offers real scope to build skills and experience across a broad fundraising portfolio.

Working closely with the CEO, a highly experienced freelance Bid Writer, and the wider team, you will be responsible for developing funding pipelines, producing high-quality proposals and applications, stewarding funder relationships, and translating programme impact into compelling narratives. You will also play a key role in donor communications, reporting, CRM management, and supporting campaigns and events.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys balancing writing, relationship-building, planning and delivery – and who values doing fundraising with integrity and care.

About you

We are looking for someone with experience in fundraising (particularly trusts and foundations) or strong transferable skills such as persuasive writing, project management, or stakeholder engagement. You will be comfortable managing multiple deadlines, maintaining an organised pipeline, and working independently while staying closely connected to a small team.

You will bring strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build warm, professional relationships with funders and supporters. Experience using a CRM system is important, as is an understanding of – or willingness to learn about – the UK voluntary sector funding landscape.

Above all, we are looking for someone who aligns with our values: putting young people at the centre, acting with rather than for, creating opportunities for leadership, and building a culture of freedom, respect and acceptance. We warmly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the asylum system.

This is a role for someone who wants their fundraising work to be closely connected to real people, real programmes, and real change – and who is excited to help shape the next chapter of a growing, values-led organisation.

You’ll be joining a values-led organisation where people matter, systems should support rather than hinder, and continuous improvement is actively encouraged. This role has real influence, visibility, and the chance to leave things better than you found them.

Use your financial leadership skills to protect and restore the environment.

A Rocha UK (ARUK) is a unique Christian environmental charity, with a mission to mobilise Christians and churches to care for the environment.

With climate change accelerating at an ever-faster pace and biodiversity collapsing, we bring a message of hope. Our Christian perspective provides our mandate for action and our posture of confidence, assured that God reigns and is at work.

Best known for our growing Eco Church programme which currently supports more than 9,000 churches to improve their environmental practice, our mission is to equip Christians to protect and restore the environment - for God, nature and all people.

With a staff of 23 people (17 FTEs) and a growing income of £1m, we now seek a Finance and Services Director, to develop our financial management and central services to underpin the new strategy and goals we plan to launch later this year.

This strategically important role will require finance planning and management expertise, the ability to thrive in a small and growing cause-led charity with diverse streams of income and a staff body of which more than half is home based.  You will bring a strongly strategic mind and the collegiality to contribute to the wider leadership of the organisation. As well as bringing a passion for the environment, the way you live and lead will be shaped by your Christian faith.

If this sounds like you we would love to hear from you. For more details see the job pack attached. Closing date 13th February.
