People with albinism are being marginalised, mutilated and murdered across Africa simply for the colour of their skin. Join Standing Voice and raise life-saving funds and awareness to defend people with albinism against this horrific discrimination and violence.

About Standing Voice

Albinism is a recessive genetic condition that impairs the body’s production of melanin, reducing or eliminating pigmentation in the skin, eyes and hair. This melanin deficiency causes people with albinism to be visually impaired and, in hot climates, uniquely vulnerable to UV radiation and skin cancer. Markedly paler than their dark-skinned peers and families, people with albinism are a highly visible minority in many African countries, where their condition remains poorly understood and highly stigmatised due to erroneous beliefs and myths. Many people with albinism are shut out of civil participation and unable to access the most basic opportunities and services, including healthcare, education, justice, housing and employment. Some have even been targeted for their body parts, used in witchcraft charms thought to bring wealth and fortune: 231 people with albinism have been killed, and 806 in total attacked, across 30 African countries since 2006. These are just the reported figures.

Standing Voice is the leading international organisation dedicated to defending the rights of people with albinism in Africa. Working across Tanzania and Malawi, where the violence and discrmination has been most extreme, Standing Voice delivers programmes in health, education, welfare, advocacy and economic empowerment. Our charity has established clinical networks to treat visual impairment and prevent skin cancer; relocated children with albinism from segregated camps to inclusive schools and universities; and supported hundreds of adults to recover from trauma and rebuild their lives through therapy, apprenticeships and training. Above all, we have worked to amplify the voices of people with albinism from grassroots community contexts through to the halls of the United Nations.

About the Role

Standing Voice is seeking an ambitious and capable individual to join our growing team and provide essential support across a range of fundraising and communications functions. This is a fantastic opportunity for a motivated individual with fundraising and communications experience to take the next step in their career with an exciting and dynamic international development charity.

The Fundraising and Communications Officer will be responsible for raising essential funds and awareness to ensure the continued delivery of Standing Voice’s life-changing programmes on the ground in Tanzania and Malawi. The main responsibilities of this role are to manage and develop new and existing relationships with a diverse portfolio of donors (including trust, statutory and multilateral sources, as well as individual givers), while supporting the production of a range of communications materials spanning our website, social media platforms, newsletters and campaigns.

The successful candidate will report directly to the Head of Fundraising and Communications, and will have the opportunity to work closely with colleagues across the UK, Tanzania and Malawi. Although international travel is not essential for this role, there are likely to be opportunities to visit Standing Voice’s country offices in Tanzania and Malawi, and to represent the charity at external events across the globe.

ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. 

As part of the ActionAid Federation, we work with women and girls, our partners, and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight povertyso that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want.

The Philanthropy & Partnerships team are looking for their next Head of Philanthropy to lead a team of seven raising funds from the UK and international philanthropists. The role is principally responsible for leading engagements with UK supporters however, there is also a globally-focused role in the team. Therefore, some experience of international philanthropy would be a bonus.

The Philanthropy team annually raises £2m from highly engaged long-term supporters, but there is still significant opportunity for growth. The team is well established with exceptional fundraisers who can be relied upon to deliver business as usual whilst pushing forward the longer-term ambition. The role also sits within the Heads leadership group, working with Heads of Corporate, Trusts & New Markets, and Strategic Funding and Insight to work with the Deputy Director of Philanthropy and Partnerships to deliver the wider team strategy. 

ActionAid UK is currently reflecting on our role in the wider federation and how we can continue to grow impact whilst decolonising our work, especially fundraising. This is therefore an exciting time to join the organisation, as the Head of Philanthropy will be at the forefront of these discussions and have the opportunity to shape what the future of high value fundraising looks like. This role would therefore be perfect for someone who is able to lead a high-performing team, who has a growth mindset, and who thrives on questioning the status quo.

ActionAid is committed to driving improvement through digital channels, tools and ways of working.We will ensure that we provide the technology and the training to enable all staff to perform their roles to the best of their abilities. In return, we ask that all staff are committed to continually improving their digital skills and knowledge within the working environment. Our recruitment processes will evaluate the digital skills of all applicants. 

ActionAid is committed to supporting flexible working. If you would like to discuss flexible working options, including the possibility of a job share for this role, there will be space to do so during the interview process.

We are committed to continually improving the diversity of our workforce and therefore encourage applications from people of colour, the LGBTQI+ community, the trans community, and those with a disability.
