Rainbow Trust is an equal opportunities employer, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds.

SarcoidosisUK is a small charity with big ambitions! We want to make a difference to the lives of those affected by sarcoidosis in the UK by providing information and support, raising awareness and undertaking research into treatments and a cure.  We currently support over 9,000 people online and have strong relationships with both clinicians and patients.

The charity receives no government funding, generating its income only from personal and corporate donations, grants, legacies and merchandise sales.

Funds raised are used to provide support services, grow awareness, operate the Nurse Helpline, and fund research activities. The need for support is growing, and we must raise £250,000 each year, part of this will be the Fundraising Executive’s responsibility.

Person

This is a varied role for someone who is enthusiastic and enjoys working with people managing multiple projects and a wide variety of tasks. No day is the same!

Ideally, you will have experience working in a fundraising role and be looking for an opportunity to broaden and deepen this. However, we will also consider applicants who have a background working in any community, events or relationship-led role.

We’re particularly keen to talk to you if you:

· enjoy talking to people and building genuine relationships.

· have good attention to detail, are organised and comfortable with data

· are proactive, able to work on your own initiative and able to spot opportunities and make the most of them.

· feel confident talking to supporters, stakeholders and community groups.

· are interested in our charity and are keen to make a major impact for people who live with sarcoidosis.

The staff team is small (currently just three) which requires a flexible approach, including participating in trustee meetings (with time off in lieu) leading to a high-level understanding of the charity. You will have the opportunity to present your views and opinions on fundraising and events and build close relationships with the Chair and trustees.

At TLG, we’re passionate about building an exceptional team to help us bring fullness of life for every child, no matter what struggles they face. We’re excited to offer a unique opportunity for a motivated, mission-driven individual to join us as Therapeutic Hub Head of Service in Greenwich.

We’re looking for a skilled and innovative individual to lead one of our pioneering Therapeutic Hubs, developed in partnership with a local church. This role sits at the front line of responding to the growing mental and emotional health needs of children, young people and families, offering high-quality therapeutic support to intervene early and prevent crisis.

As Head of Service for the Hub, you will provide strong clinical leadership, delivering targeted therapeutic support for complex cases while overseeing referrals and therapeutic pathways within the Hub. You will lead and support a multidisciplinary team of volunteer counsellors, trainees and therapeutic coaches, modelling trauma‑informed, relational practice shaped by PACE values and reflective supervision.

Alongside direct delivery, you will play a key role in developing the Hub’s reach and effectiveness, working collaboratively with TLG, Emmanuel Church London (the Greenwich Hub partnering church) and local referrers. Safeguarding, quality and professional excellence are central to the role, with responsibility for ensuring the Hub is a safe, welcoming and effective space for children and families from diverse backgrounds to find healing and hope.

Due to the pioneering nature of this role, its scope may initially feel broad, as a key focus in the Hub’s early stages will be on shaping and developing the service with the church and central TLG team. TLG has a clear and realistic understanding of time and capacity, allowing the role to grow at a manageable and sustainable pace. As the Hub becomes more established, you will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with the team to refine and focus the role in line with emerging needs and capacity. You will be supported throughout by a strong central team, working alongside you to ensure the role remains both manageable and impactful as it evolves.

If you are a skilled clinician with a heart for children, families and the local church, and you’re excited to help shape an innovative model of care, we would love to hear from you.

TLG is a Christian charity and, as a team, we want to bring our faith to the work we do; as such, we are recruiting an individual with a strong and vibrant Christian faith. We would welcome applications from candidates from diverse backgrounds to enable us to better reflect the needs of the communities we serve.

Hours: Part-time, 2.5 days (18.75 hrs) per week (0.5 FTE)
