The DRSM cultivates relationships and searches for funding which fit EURORDIS’ Strategy, Mission and annual Action Plan.

- Meet annual diversification targets. The ambition is to build on our current € 400 000 of diversification in 2021, to reach € 1 M by 2023 and 20-25% of overall income by 2025.
- Demonstrate enthusiasm for EURORDIS and a strong commitment to its mission, including its advocacy activities, community building and collaboration.
- Be an active team member supporting other staff members in their activities and targets
- Participate in EURORDIS events and activities

Who we are
Our vision is a world free of preventable disease, in which everyone everywhere can reach their full potential. We were founded in 2002 with a £20m grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and started life at Imperial College London as the Schistosomiasis Control Initiative. Consistently ranked globally as one of the most cost-effective non-profit initiatives, in 2010 we received significant funding from the UK Department of International Development which has since been extended until 2022.
In 2019 we became an independent organisation, and the SCI Foundation now works across multiple sectors in several countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to deliver effective and robust health programmes that have a lasting impact.
What we do
Working in partnership with Governments, the SCI Foundation supports and facilitates public health programmes that reduce the impact of preventable diseases like parasitic worm infections.
We provide technical and financial support to Ministries of Health, in line with their own strategies and plans, to enhance sustainability and strengthen health systems within countries affected by these diseases
To date, our team have supported 60% of all global schistosomiasis treatments and we are broadening our reach to coordinate with health programmes for other preventable diseases, as well as supporting disease prevention measures such as water, sanitation and hygiene and the management of the impacts of these diseases on individuals
Who we are looking for
We are looking for an exceptional person to join our friendly and dynamic team as a Donor Relations Officer to support the SCI Foundation in its next phase and fulfil its exciting new strategy.
You will have demonstrated experience of working with CRMS or donor management services and be comfortable with analysing and reporting on donor data to identify trends, produce reports, segment donors, and strategize based on your findings. You will have the ability to translate opportunities into practical plans of action and work proactively using your own initiative. Sound knowledge of statutory legislations around fundraising and data protection is essential. The successful candidate will be ambitious and have a passion for fundraising and building good relationships with existing investors and donors, whilst responding to their requests in a timely manner.
Reporting to the Grants, Reporting and Contracting Manager you will support the team with their fundraising goals and effectively support the SCI Foundation in the delivery of our mission.
What it’s like to work at the SCI Foundation
We’re a team of people passionate about creating a world free of preventable disease. Everyone that works at the SCI Foundation, as well as our partners and supporters, shares these same values and beliefs:
- Equality: We are a small and dynamic team in which every staff member’s contribution is crucial and equally valued
- Inclusion: We are working towards a fairer world where no-one is left behind.
- Transparency: We believe that openness and transparency create trust and a culture of continuous improvement.
Day-to-day life at the SCI Foundation is fast paced but fun. We place great importance and value on working respectfully within the team and in partnership with our partners globally. Whilst many of us travel abroad frequently, we regularly get together, whether to socialise in support of healthy working relationships, or more formally to benefit from one another’s skills, knowledge and experience.

About DMI
Development Media International (DMI) creates evidence-based behaviour change campaigns to improve health and save lives. We deliver at scale to maximise impact and cost-effectiveness. We are the first organisation to scientifically demonstrate that mass media can increase life-saving behaviours. In 2018 DMI published the results of its 5-year, £7m randomised controlled trial (RCT) in West Africa which showed that 56% more children were taken for treatment for malaria, 73% more for diarrhoea and 39% more for pneumonia following exposure to our campaign. Modelling indicates that over 3000 lives were saved during the campaign and that our approach is one of the most cost-effective ways of saving children’s lives. We have subsequently undertaken a second RCT which showed that the modern contraceptive prevalence rate was 20% higher in areas exposed to DMI’s messaging compared to areas that were not.
DMI has two priorities: first, to continue to generate ground-breaking research, second, to take our proven strategies to scale, saving as many lives as possible and improving health. We work across a range of health issues, including child survival, reproductive health, nutrition, hygiene, and early childhood development. DMI works in close partnership with leading experts in health, including WHO, UNICEF and LSHTM and has been funded by some of the world’s most prestigious organisations including the Wellcome Trust, DFID, Comic Relief, the Global Innovation Fund, Unorthodox Philanthropy and the Mulago Foundation.
We are an innovative and rapidly growing organisation, working at the nexus between science and creativity. DMI has demonstrated that knowledge is not only a human right but is also the key to saving lives in a cost-effective way. Our intellectual rigour, enthusiasm, and willingness to learn from both our successes and mistakes, makes us distinct. Our ethos is non-hierarchical: all our staff are intellectually high-powered, and we have a “best idea wins” culture. By working at DMI you will have a genuine, measurable impact on improving lives in low-income countries.
DMI has a permanent presence in Burkina Faso, Mozambique and Tanzania and has recently expanded to Côte d’Ivoire, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda, and Zambia. Our headquarters overlooks the Regents Canal in Hoxton, London and provides the strategic direction for the whole organisation.
DMI is ranked as one of the most cost-effective non-profit organisations in the world by GiveWell and was the first organisation to receive the maximum rating from Impact Matters. It is also endorsed by the Centre for Effective Altruism, Giving What We Can and The Life You Can Save.

Wirral Ark is looking for an experienced, proactive innovator as its new Chief Executive to help us both consolidate and build upon our current provision. Your experience might come from the charity, homelessness or housing sectors – but it is your personality that will be important to us.
The overall purpose of the role is to work with the Chair, Board and staff to maintain a clear and compelling vision for the organisation whilst effectively delivering our mission to reduce the impact of homelessness on the Wirral.
The new CEO will also be responsible for growing our business by developing an asset base and services that can help the organisation achieve its strategic objective to become substantially independent from government income streams in the medium to long term.
History of the charity
Wirral Churches’ Ark Project, known as Wirral Ark, is a registered charity that exists to provide accommodation for the homeless, under the MainStay framework, as well as providing support and guidance for individuals to secure long-term accommodation. We offer services throughout the region.
We started life in 1991 as a temporary shelter. The service was set up by the Wallasey Council of Christian Churches with the aim of offering emergency accommodation for those who found themselves homeless.
Wirral Ark has evolved enormously over the years and now offers a whole range of support provision for homeless people. These include isolated people with mental health or substance problems, current and ex-offenders, former rough sleepers and people who are begging or street drinking.
Through our work, we have become experts at working with, and supportively housing, people with complex problems – for example, people with severe mental health problems, a lifelong alcohol addiction, very challenging behaviour, or a combination of these and other issues. Our support pathway is designed for people with particularly complex needs. Its function is to help them into securing a permanent and sustainable home which they will remain in.
New leadership
Wirral Ark has undergone a significant period of growth in the last 4 years, increasing turnover from around £875K in 2017 to £1.2M in 2020, with a budget for around £1.3M in 2021.
Wirral Ark has successfully diversified its income during this period. It has done so in a climate of continuous cost cutting of welfare and homelessness support - both at a local and national level. The income of the charity is derived largely from Wirral Borough Council and primarily from its Supporting People Contracts and Housing Benefit. Wirral Ark has targets to grow its own independent income from fundraising activities and the creation of income streams derived from its subsidiary, the Wirral Ark Trading CIC.
We believe this strategy is putting Wirral Ark into a robust position and will gives us a strong platform to further improve and build rounds our services. There are several important aspects of the work for Wirral Ark are still under development. We are now looking for an excellent leader to take us to the next level.
The charity have a stakeholder pension open to all employees satisfying the auto-enrolment criteria with employees currently contributing 5% and the charity 3%. Other options could be negotiated within the package.
