This is an incredible opportunity to lead a highly-respected, visionary, organisation with a peerless track record of achieving change in immigration detention policy and practice. We are looking for an exceptional individual with strong strategic leadership and people management skills, and an unwavering commitment to human rights, above all the rights of people in detention.
Our new Director will be leading the organisation in a period of both challenges and opportunity, as the new Government settles in and debates about immigration policy continue. Despite the uncertain times, we are committed to continuing to challenge immigration detention in the UK. The new Director will inherit a well-resourced, effective and well-regarded organisation with an impressive, dedicated and friendly staff team. While the role will be multi-faceted, it will be hugely rewarding, supported by a committed board of trustees.
BID is a small organisation - our new Director will own the overall operation, management and sustainability of the charity, with the support of committed trustees. The Director will lead on strategic leadership, finance and operations, people and culture, fundraising, policy and communications, legal casework and governance and regulation - all with the support of our brilliant team of 10 staff, and the opportunity to recruit. As with any small charity, the post-holder will need to be agile and responsive.

Day One Trauma Support – Director of Fundraising and Communications
Location: Home based but with travel nationally as required and regular travel to Leeds base.
Salary: £70-80k per annum
Contract: Permanent, full time hours
Day One, the charity that helps people rebuild their lives after catastrophic injury, is seeking an inspiring leader to create a strong, sustainable plan for their fundraising and communications team and build on solid fundraising foundations to grow income.
Day One is a young, ambitious national charity dedicated to supporting people impacted by catastrophic injury. They currently deliver dedicated services in six regions and have a presence in seven NHS Major Trauma Centres. They also provide a national support service to people anywhere in the UK. Day One works extremely closely with NHS clinical services, delivering support at the bedside in the immediate aftermath of a major trauma, but also has a strong focus on the trauma networks and wider community where people are often alone and isolated trying to recover from their injuries.
Day One was registered as a charity in May 2021 and since that time has embarked on an incredible journey of development and expansion. With a growing, loyal and valued community of supporters and a powerful sphere of influence, the charity wants to do much more, aiming to have a presence across all NHS Major Trauma Centres and networks across the UK.
Key to that ambition will be a new Fundraising and Communications Director. This is a great role for an experienced senior fundraising leader to shape the charity’s future direction, building on an extremely successful start and a commitment from the Board and leadership team to invest in the right candidate who can deliver a compelling vision for fundraising and communications.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, the role will provide leadership and guidance on fundraising and communications as well as sitting on the Senior Leadership Team. The post-holder will be responsible for developing and delivering a fundraising strategy that has the right balance of ambition and realism for the next three to five years, and to grow income to £1million over the next four years, taking advantage of the unique fundraising opportunity that is available to the charity at this current time.
The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of securing significant gifts and partnerships, as well as substantial experience of senior fundraising leadership. You will be a strategic thinker with strong financial acumen and excellent communication skills. You will understand the impact and importance of storytelling in driving income and of how fundraising and communications can be managed effectively together to support income growth. An understanding of healthcare-related charities would be an advantage.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, forward-looking charity in a hands-on role where the right candidate can build their team, invest strategically and help deliver a real difference to patients’ lives.

Join us as our new Chief Executive and make a meaningful difference to animal welfare across Cumbria, The Borders and the North East of England.
Closing date: 9 a.m. Monday 23rd September
Who we are.
Oak Tree Animals’ Charity is based in Carlisle, Cumbria, and serves the North East, North West and the Borders, providing non-judgemental and compassionate care to animals and their owners.
The charity is dedicated to the improvement of animal welfare in the region, proactively supporting animals and encouraging people to prioritise animal welfare through our community programmes, advocacy and rehoming services.
We provide holistic support and care for animals and their owners to reach long-term solutions that avoid the need for rehoming but when that is unavoidable, Oak Tree provides a safe home for animals, rehabilitating and preparing them for the next stage in their lives.
The charity also prepares potential owners for life with a new companion and offers the help and support necessary for both animal and owner to live a long and happy life together.
Oak Tree does more besides this by working with communities, government services, local businesses and other charities to provide whatever help is necessary to allow animals and their owners to live happy and healthy lives.
About the role.
Oak Tree Animals’ Charity is looking for a new Chief Executive to provide strategic direction and act as an ambassador for the Charity, being a strong advocate for animal welfare both locally and nationally. The CEO will manage key relationships with policymakers, donors, and external stakeholders and work with the Board to steer the Senior Management Team to achieve the strategic plan.
The role will line manage the Head of Operations, Head of Income Generation and Head of Animal Welfare.
Oak Tree Animals’ Charity has expanded significantly over the last 9 years, and it is a much more complex organisation than it was previously.
The new CEO’s role will be to maintain and stabilise this creation and ensure that the charity is sustainable long term.
Who we are looking for.
We are seeking pragmatic candidates with strong leadership and people management skills to mentor and develop the passionate staff team and lead the strategic direction of the charity.
Experience of diversification of funding would be most welcome, so we welcome candidates with a fundraising background.
You will have a passion for animals as well as people, with a natural ability to build and develop relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders.
It is not essential to have an extensive background in the animal sector, but a strong sense of the industry and knowledge and understanding of animal welfare issues and legislation would give a definite advantage.
We welcome applications from both existing CEOs and those considering a CEO role for the first time if they can demonstrate the skills, values and experience required.
Please click 'Apply via website’ to be redirected to the Peridot Partners website, where you can find full details of the job description and register your interest to apply.
Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 23rd September.
