• Salary: £26,000 (plus travel)
• Full time, permanent position (37.5 hours per week)
• 26 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Flexible working hours

Manchester Cares is a community network reducing loneliness and isolation amongst older and younger people alike; improving the confidence, belonging, purpose and power of all participants; and bringing people together to bridge the gaps across social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

In your new role as Development Coordinator at Manchester Cares, you will lead our local fundraising – by creating and managing challenges, events, corporate partnerships and by securing grants from local and national foundations. Your job will be to steward supporters so that they continue to support Manchester Cares, and to identify and secure gifts from foundations, businesses and individuals.

To do that, you will need to be a powerful communicator, in writing and in person, and someone who can talk to and relate to people from all backgrounds. You will be outgoing, with an organised, collaborative approach, an authentic communication style and an intrinsic understanding of the power of networks and digital media.

Crucially, we need a people-person: someone who can guide partnerships including with corporations, Councils and long-established community groups. We also need a numbers person, someone methodical, target focused and strategic, who can work with our national Head of Community Fundraising to drive a shared vision. And we need a self-starter: someone committed, tough, and focused working alone as well as collaboratively; who is passionate about developing Manchester Cares over the coming years.

Finally, we need someone who understands and is motivated by the demographics and social challenges of our communities and the issues we work on, and in particular who is passionate about and can clearly promote our vision for building close community networks to tackle isolation and loneliness.

In achieving this vision you will be trusted to work independently at this exciting organisation, with a growing profile and backing from local and national supporters. And you will be provided with development challenges and opportunities to play a pivotal role in the development of Manchester Cares and The Cares Family. If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.

Please read the full job description and details on how to apply via the Manchester Cares website.

Job Profile

The Senior Emergency Response Officer – Cash Transfer Programming (SERO-CTP) will provide surge capacity globally as part of CAFOD's Emergency Response Team (ERT)/surge team, and will also provide support to Caritas Norway priority programmes in Africa (in particular but not exclusively where both CAFOD and Caritas Norway operate i.e. in South Sudan, Nigeria and Niger. CAFOD and Caritas Norway, both members of the Caritas Internationalis confederation, have established a strategic partnership since 2014 whose primary goal is to achieve greater programme impact and operational efficiencies. As part of the collaboration, a joint surge team is being developed further by CAFOD and Caritas Norway in partnership. 

The surge capacity provided by members of CAFOD ERT is usually in the form of field deployments or remote support for short-term leadership, management, coordination or technical support to a wide range of new and ongoing humanitarian crises. Deployments and support may focus on specific areas such as assessments, response options analysis, proposal development, project design and implementation, and evaluations. 

The SERO-CTP will take a leading role in strengthening CAFOD’s and Caritas Norway’s organization-wide systems and skills to support partners in their cash-based and market-based responses and analysis, and help increase and improve the global cash programming capacity and portfolio size of CAFOD, Caritas Norway, and their partners. 

This position requires a strong technical knowledge and experience of cash transfer programming, as well as emergency food security and livelihoods.  Inherent in the SERO-CTP role is the need for flexibility and an ability to travel at short notice to potentially insecure and remote locations. 

Job Scope 

The SERO-CTP will work as a member of the ERT and in close cooperation with colleagues from across the Emergency Response Group (ERG) and with sister agencies from the Caritas network and partner organisations. 

While the SERO-CTP may be requested to work with teams and partners (including Caritas sister agencies) in support of their humanitarian interventions at large, covering a number of sectoral areas (CTP, Food security and Livelihoods in particular) and programme management aspects, a strong emphasis for the position is placed on Cash Transfer Programming / Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA). In the specific CTP thematic area, the post-holder will support capacity strengthening efforts, lead and advise on the design and implementation of Cash Transfer Programmes and on most appropriate tools to use at each stage of the programme cycle. 

The post holder will also take a leading role in developing Cash Transfer Programming strategies for CAFOD and Caritas Norway, and in the integration and uptake of CTP approaches, standards and processes into wider organizational policies and practice. To that effect, the post holder will establish and sustain a CAFOD/Caritas Norway-wide (including partners) internal Cash Working Group/Community of Practice in  support of the roll out of partners /country teams “cash-readiness” processes with in-country trainings, guidance and mentorship. 

Accountability

The post holder is line managed by the Humanitarian Response and Technical Team Leader (HRTTL). During specific deployments task management may come from other managers within CAFOD, Caritas Norway or their partner organisations. The role has no permanent management nor budget responsibilities. However, the post-holder may have line management and budget responsibilities during specific deployments.........
