Looking for a fundraising role where the income you raise directly moves the dial on mental health outcomes - and helps people access support when they need it most?

This could be the one. Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity on a mission to normalise and humanise mental health and they're looking for their first ever Fundraising Manager.

You'll find this a unique opportunity to own and grow an emerging fundraising function and shape it into something extra special.

Salary: £32-36k
Contract: Permanent, full-time 35 hours per week or reduced hours considered

About Chasing the Stigma

Chasing the Stigma exists to make sure everyone in the UK can find mental health support, whenever they need it. With lived experience at the heart of everything they do, their work spans awareness campaigns, training, policy influence and the UK's largest directory of community mental health services, the Hub of Hope.

Following organic growth, they are now ready to take fundraising to the next level - and this is where you come in!

About the role

As Fundraising Manager, you will support the development and lead on the delivery of a new and ambitious fundraising strategy across individual giving, community fundraising and corporate partnerships.

You will be trusted to spot opportunities, test ideas and build sustainable income streams that support life-changing and life-saving work.

This is a hands-on, varied role where you will combine strategic thinking with practical delivery. You will work closely with colleagues to build a clear case for support, bring the charity's impact to life through powerful storytelling and build meaningful relationships with supporters and partners across the UK.

There is real potential to build a fundraising team as income grows, if this matters to you.

Who we are looking for

You might already be a Fundraising Manager, or you could be ready to step up from a fundraising role. Either way, you'll be able to showcase:

• Track record of generating income through fundraising or business development
• Confidence with high-value corporate or individual fundraising, working at five-figures
• Strong communication and storytelling skills
• Proactive, ideas-led approach and enjoy taking ownership
• Genuine passion for shifting the dial on mental health

You don't need to be the finished article in every area - if you're a fundraiser with passion, creativity and drive, we would love to hear from you.

We would particularly welcome applications from people of colour, people with disabilities, people who identify as being LGBTQIA+, and people from other commonly marginalised groups who are underrepresented in Chasing the Stigma's team.

How to apply

If this sounds like your next big adventure, then we would absolutely love to hear from you.

Please send your CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People in the first instance and we'll be in touch with further details if your skills and experience match what we're looking for.

What if you could be the person who transforms how hundreds of colleagues across the UK's leading dementia charity use financial systems every day? As a Finance Systems Officer at Alzheimer's Society, you'll play a vital role in embedding and improving our finance systems, ensuring colleagues have the tools, knowledge and confidence to deliver financial excellence as we work to end the devastation caused by dementia.

As Finance Systems Officer, you'll be the person colleagues turn to for our Unit4 Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system support. Resolving queries, building expertise, and championing system adoption across our Finance & Assurance directorate. This is an exciting career development opportunity where you'll have endless capacity to grow deep technical expertise in ERP and business systems while simultaneously developing your business partnering skills across both systems technology and finance operations. Every day brings new challenges to solve, new knowledge to gain, and new relationships to build as you become the go-to expert who bridges the gap between technology and people.

As a valued member of our Finance & Assurance directorate, you'll be part of a team that's transforming how we deliver financial partnership across the organisation. We're on an ambitious journey to become the Society's single point of financial truth, trusted partners and credible experts who enable the organisation to make faster, better-informed decisions. This is where your systems expertise meets meaningful impact, directly enabling us to focus on what matters most: transforming lives affected by dementia.

Day-to-day, you'll answer questions, solve problems, and steadily deepen your expertise whilst being the trusted specialist colleagues rely on. You'll create guides and resources that make the complex simple. You'll run sessions that build skills and confidence, and work alongside the systems accountant to make our finance systems better, more integrated, and more effective. You'll collaborate with Unit4 specialists, our in-house IT colleagues, and Finance team members across the Society, managing your own priorities autonomously while being proactive in driving things forward.

About you

You have a proven foundation in ERP environments and you're eager to develop your career. You're someone who thrives on solving problems, explaining complex matters clearly, and helping people feel confident using technology. You understand that great systems support isn't just about fixing issues. It's about empowering colleagues, improving processes, and driving consistent adoption of best practice.

You'll have:

- Experience working with an ERP system, with genuine curiosity to develop specialist knowledge (Unit4 experience is a bonus, but your appetite to learn matters most).
- Effective analytical and troubleshooting skills, paired with experience using reporting tools such as Power BI, Excel, or ERP-native reporting modules to surface insight from finance data.
- A track record of building relationships and delivering excellent service or partnership, with a focus on improving how people experience and understand systems.
- Demonstrated grounding in accounting or finance processes, ideally gained in a large organisation.
- Proven ability to create clear guides, resources or training content that makes technical topics accessible.
- Confidence working independently while also thriving in collaborative environments, taking initiative and seeing things through.

What you\'ll focus on

- Being the primary contact for Unit4 and system queries, efficiently resolving issues and knowing when to escalate more complex challenges.
- Growing into a trusted Unit4 specialist by continuously expanding your knowledge and actively helping colleagues across the Society.
- Producing clear, helpful guides, FAQs and training resources that give colleagues the confidence to use our systems effectively.
- Supporting reporting improvements by helping to build, refine and maintain reports and dashboards that give colleagues the insight they need, using tools such as Excel, Power BI and our ERPs reporting modules.
- Running engagement and training sessions that boost understanding, capability and compliance with our finance systems.
- Championing good practice and confidently challenging off-system workarounds so colleagues get the full benefit of the functionality available to them.
- Supporting the integrity of our finance data and system structure, including the chart of accounts, role permissions and change logs, under the direction of the systems accountant.
- Working with the Systems Accountant on upgrades, testing and integration projects to ensure everything runs smoothly.
- Partnering with Finance colleagues and IT teams to monitor how systems perform, address issues quickly, and strengthen our single source of financial truth.

Can you see yourself as the systems expert who transforms how colleagues engage with finance technology? Are you ready to take ownership, learn continuously, and become the trusted partner who helps the Society gain maximum benefit from our systems? Can you bring both technical capability and genuine partnership to ensure our finance systems enable our mission to end the devastation of dementia?

Important dates

- The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Monday 4th May.
- A one-hour task will be carried out virtually W/C 11th May.
- Interviews will begin W/C 18th May and will consist of one stage taking place virtually.

We are looking for someone who:
• Is a qualified accountant (or equivalent experience)

• Can produce clear, insightful management accounts
• Understands restricted funding and donor compliance

Exciting Coordinator role at the heart of a national refugee and climate action project - 'Action Asylum'. Based in Liverpool, starts July 2026.

Action Asylum is a national, community-led, nature-based volunteering project that brings people seeking asylum and local residents together through practical climate and nature action - tree planting, habitat restoration, beach cleans, and food growing. Delivered across ten cities through a cross-sector network of refugee-sector organisations, Wildlife Trusts and local green partners, the project improves wellbeing and belonging, strengthens community cohesion, and contributes to nature recovery and climate resilience.

The project is led by Task Force Trust and we have secured funding for the 3 year project. A Central Coordination Team (CCT), hosted by Asylum Link Merseyside in Liverpool, provides national strategic oversight, partner coordination, communications, and evaluation across the full network.

The Role

We are looking for an experienced, values-driven coordinator to join the Action Asylum Central Coordination Team as National Coordinator. This is a varied and rewarding role at the heart of a genuinely innovative national project - one that sits at the intersection of migration, climate action, and community.

The National Coordinator is the operational engine of Action Asylum's national network. You will be the primary point of contact for Project Leads across all ten cities, keeping delivery on track, ensuring robust monitoring and reporting, and supporting partners to deliver safe, inclusive, high-quality programmes. You will also coordinate the Skills Exchange Programme, work jointly with the Project Director on the University of Nottingham's independent evaluation, and line-manage the Liverpool Action Asylum Project Lead.

You will be based at Asylum Link Merseyside in Liverpool as part of the CCT, working closely with the Project Director (your line manager), the Finance Manager, and the National Comms Officer. Flexible working is available and regular in-person presence at the CCT base is expected. The role is 4 days per week (0.8 FTE) on a fixed-term contract aligned to the three-year project (July 2026 – June 2029), with an expected start date of Monday 6 July 2026.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the primary day-to-day point of contact for all ten city-level delivery partners, convening monthly national Project Lead meetings and quarterly national partnership network meetings.

• Manage the CODA reporting system, ensure timely partner reporting, compile bi-annual reports for funders, and support the University of Nottingham's independent evaluation (access, logistics, and city-level data - jointly with the Project Director).

• Oversee the continued co-production and delivery of the Skills Exchange Programme with all delivery partners and Wildlife Trusts throughout the three-year project.

• Support local partners with communications activity, contribute to the quarterly national newsletter, and work with the National Comms Officer and IMIX Media to ensure consistent, inclusive messaging across the network.

• Support the Project Director - who holds national safeguarding lead responsibility - in maintaining the project-wide safeguarding framework, risk log, and partner training records.

• Line-manage the Liverpool Action Asylum Project Lead (PL), who holds a combined role spanning Action Asylum project delivery and ALM's wider community wellbeing programme. This includes biannual supervisions, supporting the PL to meet their combined objectives, and offering pastoral support as needed.

• Play a key coordination role in national annual events (Year 2 Liverpool meet-up and Year 3 closing celebration) and support funder network engagement.

About You

We are looking for someone who brings:

• Experience working in the refugee, asylum or migrant sector, with a genuine understanding of the barriers and strengths within these communities.

• Strong project coordination and network management skills - comfortable holding multiple relationships and workstreams simultaneously.

• Experience with monitoring, evaluation and reporting, including data management and funder reporting.

• Excellent facilitation skills and confidence leading virtual meetings with diverse participants.

• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail - able to manage competing priorities and meet deadlines effectively.

• Experience of, or confidence in, line managing or supervising staff, with a supportive and accountable management style.

• A warm, collaborative working style with a genuine commitment to equity, inclusion, and trauma-informed practice.

We would particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of seeking asylum or the refugee journey. You do not need to have held a coordinator title before - what matters is the experience, skills and values you bring.

To date we have provided over £38m in grant funding and direct investment to more than 250 organisations across the UK. As our influence grows, we are looking to develop new ways to strengthen our digital presence and communicate our impact.

As our Digital Communications Associate you'll help us to move faster, amplifying our work and reaching new audiences in smarter, more creative ways.

The role at a glance

We’re looking for a hands‑on Digital Communications Associate to join Ufi’s small, ambitious communications team.

This role is suited to someone with a few years’ experience in communications or digital content, who is ready to take the initiative, shape ideas and play an active role in how Ufi communicates its work and impact. You’ll have more autonomy than a typical entry‑level role, using your judgement to shape content and priorities, with support from a small senior communications team.

A core part of the role is leading our day‑to‑day social media activity – managing our channels, creating engaging content (copy, graphics, video), and helping shape how Ufi tells its story online. You’ll also contribute to wider communications activity across Ufi, from promoting grant funds and ventures activity to supporting major campaigns and our online community.

This is an opportunity for someone who enjoys being close to the work, thinking strategically about digital comms, and working collaboratively in a small team where your judgement and ideas genuinely shape what we do. This is a home‑based role with a high level of responsibility, where your work can have a clear and visible impact.

Are you passionate about making nature accessible to everyone?

We’re looking for a dedicated and empathetic individual to help communities across Shropshire overcome barriers to accessing our nature reserves.

What you will be doing:

At Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT), we believe everyone should have access to nature. We’re working to make our nature reserves more inclusive, welcoming and accessible for all - and we need your help.

At present, not everyone in Shropshire is able to access nature equally. Physical access on many sites is difficult for many, and we’ve heard from the communities we work with that people can feel excluded from nature reserves by poor information, uncertain access or just not feeling it’s for people like them.

Our Accessible Reserves Programme is a multi-year initiative aimed at breaking down the physical, emotional and cultural barriers that prevent people from enjoying nature. We’re looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Community Facilitator to connect with local communities and help shape this important work.

You’ll build relationships with community groups, leaders and organisations across Shropshire, ensuring that people with lived experience are at the heart of our plans. You’ll listen, gather insights and help co-design practical improvements to our nature reserves.

We’re looking for:

 

• You are aligned with our mission, with a personal connection to nature and a strong belief in its role in addressing the climate and ecological crises.
• You understand the principles of community organising and have experience applying this approach across diverse groups.
• You actively champion diversity, equality and inclusion, and are committed to embedding these principles in your work.
• You have a proven ability to build and nurture effective relationships with a wide range of people and communities.
• You are a confident project manager, experienced in coordinating multiple stakeholders and working to deadlines.
• You have excellent organisational skills, able to prioritise effectively and focus on what matters most.
• You are confident using IT systems, particularly Microsoft Office programmes.
• You hold a full UK driving licence.

The Trust is committed to building an equal, diverse and inclusive workforce we encourage applications from a diverse range of suitably qualified candidates.  Please let us know if you require any adjustments to make our recruitment process more accessible.

Why work for us - benefits we offer:

• 25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays and Service related holiday (pro-rated for part time staff)
• Salary sacrifice benefits
• Life assurance
• Generous pension - company contribution 7%, employee contribution 3%
• Enhanced Sick Pay
• Flexible working policy
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Staff discounts
• Employee away days
• Enhanced pay for maternity and adoption leave
• Coaching 
• Support with training and development to assist career progression
• Inclusive & supportive work atmosphere

About us:

Shropshire Wildlife Trust (SWT) has a vision of a thriving natural world, where Shropshire's wildlife and natural habitats play a valued role in addressing the climate and ecological emergencies, and people are inspired and empowered to take action for nature. We combine projects across Shropshire (including Telford & Wrekin) with advocacy and campaigning to restore nature and to engage people. We manage over 40 nature reserves and have almost 50 staff, 300 volunteers, and over 9000 members. SWT is an autonomous charity, but we are increasingly working collectively, as part of The Wildlife Trusts (TWT), to ensure that our local actions have a national impact and help to address global issues.
