Travel jobs
Our client is an independent charitable foundation based in the UK.
They are transitioning from being a grant making organisation, to one focused on redistributing their endowment based on the terms of those who work closest to communities. Their strategic intention is to create space to reimagine, test and demonstrate how wealth, capital and social justice can co-exist in service to all for life now, and for future generations.
Currently undergoing a significant period of refocus and transition, the Foundation is looking for an experienced Board Support Executive to offer comprehensive and wide ranging administrative and logistical support to the Board of Trustees and the leadership team. This part-time (3 or 4 days per week) role is offered on an 18 months fixed term contract with flexible hybrid working.
This will involve scheduling and minuting high level board and committee meetings, ensuring action points are accurately recorded and followed up. Supporting colleagues to deliver a coherent strategic approach to governance across the organisation, this role will ensure Trustees have all of the data, guidance and assurance they need to deliver on the transition strategy. Diary management, note taking, travel arrangements and working closely with colleagues to provide solutions and insight will all be essential aspects of this role.
The successful candidate will have considerable experience of having provided comprehensive Governance and Trustee-level administrative and logistical support either in the charity, grant-making or philanthropic sectors, or equally in education, membership or social investment arenas. Highly organised, efficient and clear-headed, this person will be a calm, methodical and resourceful addition to the team. Able to see the bigger picture and use their initiative to provide support and effective coordination to the leadership team and trustees, this role will be crucial to oiling the works of the organisation.
Empathetic, collaborative and people driven by nature, this person will be able to innovate, advise and problem solve from a people, process and strategic planning perspective. Intellectually curious with outstanding communication skills, this person will also have an appreciation of the work of the Foundation and the communities it seeks to serve, and be on board with its current journey of transition.
Our client recognises that diversity is absolutely at the heart of its work, so actively encourages applications from people from marginalised communities and from people with lived experience of poverty and multiple disadvantage.
This role will be based at the Central London office and will have flexibility for home working.

Our client believes every child should have the chance to feel safe, happy, and hopeful about their future. As the Charity's CEO puts it, "this is a genuinely game-changing moment for our Charity" as the charity ramps up its most ambitious investment yet in early help and mental health support through its Major Appeal.

This role is not about inheriting a fully "finished" programme. This is an opportunity for someone who can roll up their sleeves in a period of change: strengthening best practice, helping embed effective ways of working, and supporting a team (three direct reports) to thrive while key systems, processes and methodologies continue to develop.
The successful candidate will bring substantial experience in major donor fundraising, with a strong track record of personally securing significant gifts at high five and/or six figure level from individuals. You'll be a confident, supportive line manager, comfortable navigating key stakeholders internally and externally and evolving ways of working.

We are seeking an exceptional leader who can act as a credible spokesperson and ambassador for the Catholic Union, building trusted relationships across the Church, parliament and wider society and helping to grow the Catholic Union’s influence and engagement in the years ahead.
Founded in 1870, the Catholic Union of Great Britain brings Catholic laity and Catholic social teaching to the public square across England, Wales and Scotland. Working in partnership with dioceses, parishes, MPs, MSPs, MSs, peers and Catholic organisations, our vision is of a society in which Catholic laity are informed, equipped and encouraged to engage in public life.
Our work is shaped by three key themes: engagement, education and encouragement. Through these we foster informed participation in public debate, help Catholics and the wider public understand contemporary social and political issues through a Catholic lens, and inspire greater confidence for Catholics to contribute to civic and community life.
In recent years the Catholic Union has developed from being largely volunteer-led into a more professional and strategically focused organisation, strengthening relationships across the Church and wider society. Our Weekly Briefing, now read by around 6,500 people each week, has become a key channel for parliamentary reporting, Catholic news and reflection.
As Director, you will lead the Catholic Union at an exciting moment in its development. You will represent the Catholic Union publicly, strengthening relationships with bishops, diocesan leaders, parliamentarians and Catholic organisations. You will act as a trusted ambassador for the Union, grow our channels of influence and engagement, and work with Trustees, Council and a small experienced team to support the organisation’s continued development.
If you are inspired by the opportunity to serve as a public voice for a respected Catholic organisation and help foster thoughtful dialogue and engagement in public life, we would love to hear from you.
For more information, please see the job pack attached. Closing date 10th April.
