We’re looking for a Policy and Influencing Manager to help us achieve our ambition to improve urban health in the UK and beyond. Policy and Influencing is a fast-developing function at Guy’s and St Thomas’ Foundation, established to turbo-charge our influence on decision-making to improve urban health and health inequity.

Working across the organisation - in particular with colleagues leading our urban health programmes - the Policy and Influencing function applies the insight generated by our programmes to raise the profile and influence decision-making on the issues we work on. You will be an experienced public affairs and policy professional with experience influencing national decision-making.

Working with teams across the organisations, you will lead the development of compelling influencing strategies for each programme, and deliver innovative and varied policy and influencing activity to achieve these strategies. This is a rare opportunity to work in a genuinely innovative organisation that is able to test new approaches and is willing to take risks: we are looking for someone who enjoys testing new ways of working as we explore how we can best achieve impact, whether acting alone or with our partner organisations.

You will bring sharp political insight and a passion for complex, of the moment policy issues to work closely with programme colleagues to maximise the impact of our urban health programmes. This might involve commissioning original research to support our policy development process, working with partner organisations to design campaigning partnerships, or funding others to trial new ways of involving communities impacted by health inequity in the policy decision-making process.

You will work with the Head of Policy and Influencing (Impact on Urban Health) on Parliamentary and Government engagement for your programmes, and will work very closely with Communications Managers assigned to each programme to create impactful communications to influence.

You’ll be excited by the opportunity to work at an organisation that prioritises diversity, equity and inclusion in all we do, whether in term of the impact we seek to have in the external world on health equity, but also in the ways we work.

As Policy and Influencing Manager, this may mean working with partners to explore who we can support their own influencing activity, designing research and policy reports that bring the voice of people most impacted by the issues we work on to the debate or exploring ways to develop our own policy positions in an inclusive and equitable way. You will be a team player, who enjoys working in a matrix across multiple teams within the organisation

Are you an ambitious, hands-on fundraiser who wants to make a tangible difference to retired racing greyhounds ?

Greyhound Trust is looking for its first-ever Individual Giving Manager; a pivotal role in our growing Income Generation & Engagement team. This is a chance to shape, grow, and lead our individual giving programme from the ground up, helping us care for and home more greyhounds across the UK.

About the Greyhound Trust

For nearly 50 years, the Greyhound Trust has supported greyhounds transitioning from racing into loving homes where they can thrive. Each year, with an annual income of around £4.5m, we home thousands of dogs, relying on a passionate network of staff, branches, and volunteers.

The world is changing, and so is the way people engage with causes they care about. We are now looking to grow and diversify our individual giving, building long-term relationships with supporters who share our commitment to the welfare of greyhounds. This is your chance to play a key role in shaping our strategy, delivering creative campaigns, and helping secure the financial foundation for the Trust’s future.

The Role

Reporting to the Head of Income Generation and Engagement, you will be responsible for:

• Creating, delivering, and evaluating a long-term Individual Giving strategy.

• Building a diverse and sustainable portfolio of individual giving income streams, including regular giving, appeals, digital fundraising, mid-level giving, and legacy gifts.

• Planning and delivering multi-channel campaigns that integrate with marketing, communications, and retail initiatives.

• Using data and insight to drive performance, monitor results, and develop strong cases for support.

• Supporting branches and volunteers in delivering individual giving initiatives.

• Developing supporter journeys that encourage loyalty, growth, and long-term engagement.

• Ensuring all activities comply with fundraising legislation, best practice, and data protection law.

This is a hands-on, strategic role that will allow you to take ownership of your programme while collaborating across the Trust to deliver impactful campaigns and initiatives.

Is this role right for you?

This role will suit you if you are an ambitious, hands-on fundraiser who thrives in a small, collaborative teamwhere everyone is invested in the success of the whole organisation. You enjoy taking ownership, sharing ideas, and seeing things through to delivery, and you value open communication, mutual support, and a culture where colleagues are trusted to innovate and experiment.

You are likely to thrive if you enjoy balancing independent responsibility with teamwork, and if you are motivated by making a tangible difference rather than simply delivering outputs. You are curious, thoughtful, and practical, and you are happy to contribute beyond your immediate remit to help the organisation succeed.

If you are looking for a role where collaboration, accountability, and purpose genuinely shape the way the organisation works day to day — and where your work will have a visible impact on the lives of greyhounds and the supporters who make that possible — this could be a very good fit.

Why join us?

• Be part of a compact, passionate, and close-knit team.

• Lead the development of a dedicated individual giving programme.

• Work in a medium-sized, agile charity with a strong sense of purpose and financial stability.

• Play a key role in growing support and enabling more greyhounds to be cared for and homed across the UK.

As the Project Manager - Data Programmes, you'll work closely with our Head of Data Science and Head of Volunteer Programmes to triage, scope, and manage our projects and to ensure we deliver impactful, responsible data science solutions for our partners. This includes leading and managing some of our key support programmes.

You'll be part of a kind and collaborative five-person staff team, and will work closely with our talented community of volunteer data scientists. This is an exciting and unusual opportunity to shape how the third sector uses data. Join us!

About DataKind UK

DataKind UK is a small infrastructure charity with a vision of a strong, thriving third sector that embraces data science to become more impactful. Effective data use has the potential to transform an organisation's impact by improving decision-making, maximising operational efficiency, and ensuring service delivery is evidence-based. A lack of access to responsible data science skills and techniques in the third sector means it isn’t having the impact it could.

We provide a variety of free and contracted support services to help third sector organisations achieve their missions, encourage innovation, and improve decision making, problem solving, and practices.

Since 2013, more than 2,200 DataKind UK volunteers have supported over 300 charities—from large organisations like St John Ambulance and Action for Children to local food banks and campaigning charities—helping them better understand their users, evaluate what's working, streamline routine tasks, and ultimately better tackle society's biggest challenges. 

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for an experienced, people-oriented project manager who is excited to help us deliver and scale innovative data programmes. You will work directly with organisations from across the third sector to understand their missions and translate their challenges into well-scoped projects. You will also support teams of volunteer data experts to scope projects and deliver impactful data science solutions.

You don't need to write code or run analysis yourself, but you should be comfortable working alongside technical experts, asking the right questions to scope data projects, and translating between technical and non-technical stakeholders. You'll need to hold conversations with data scientists about what's feasible, help charity partners understand what's possible with their data, and know when to bring in additional technical expertise.

If you don’t have all the experience and skills listed below, please still consider applying. We don’t expect a candidate to have 100% of these, but we do want to know that you have relevant experience and an appetite to learn in other areas.

Essential skills and experience

• Project management: You are a skilled project manager, successfully leading projects involving multiple stakeholders from conception to completion. You have experience managing multiple projects at once and can successfully prioritise and juggle competing demands. You can plan ahead, allocate resources, identify and mitigate risks, and bring in additional expertise as required.
• Scoping and needs assessment: You have experience collaborating with clients/stakeholders to assess their challenges, translate them into project plans, evaluate their feasibility, and create delivery plans.
• Volunteer and/or people management: Experience recruiting, training, coordinating, or managing volunteers or managing people over whom you do not have direct authority (eg. contractors/freelancers). Comfortable leading multi-skilled teams in a remote-first environment, fostering collaboration within newly established groups.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, and strong active listening skills. You have experience being the main liaison for a project or programme, providing regular updates to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. You’re not afraid to ask clarifying questions in areas that are new to you. You are skilled at distilling the key insights or next steps in project meetings to ensure clarity on the big picture and details.

Desirable

• Experience managing or delivering data-related or social tech projects.
• Experience volunteering or working with volunteers.
• Familiarity with CRMs and/or project management software.
• Experience working or volunteering in the UK nonprofit/charity sector.
• Knowledge of the UK nonprofit/charity landscape and common digital, data, or tech challenges facing third sector organisations.
• Understanding of privacy, ethics, or responsible data and AI.
• Experience with impact measurement or evaluation frameworks.

Qualities

• You are aligned with DataKind UK’s core values: curious, responsible, collaborative.
• You have an interest in data, are willing to work with technical volunteers, feel comfortable asking questions, and are keen to learn more!
• You are self-directed and goal-oriented, and like working independently.
• An approachable, friendly people-person, you enjoy building productive relationships with people from different backgrounds and experience levels, and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders.
• You thrive in an environment where every day is a bit different, and you are happy working flexibly and adaptively. 
• You are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion. You believe and act in a way that celebrates and encourages a range of experiences, views, and values.
• You like to learn and can quickly absorb and synthesise information from new domains. You know what you don’t know and are comfortable asking questions or for help. You can switch between big-picture and detail-oriented thinking.
• You are a collaborative team player, and happy to jump in and support team members where needed. You care more that good things happen than who gets the credit.

You must have the right to work in the UK.
