ABOUT US

School of Hard Knocks (SOHK) is an education charity that exists to empower and support young people living in complex and challenging circumstances. We use rugby to foster an environment of genuine acceptance, where the sport becomes a platform for participants to improve their confidence, communication skills, commitment, self-control, and ability to work effectively within a team. Through group learning and one-to-one mentoring, SOHK helps young people (re)engage with education and safeguard their wellbeing.

Ninety percent of our participants report feeling more confident and more engaged with school after taking part - with long-term effects on attendance, attainment, and life outcomes. Find out more about our Schools Programme here.

SOHK is at a new and exciting stage of development.

This shift responds to a dramatic rise in need among young people in the UK, many of whom are struggling to navigate adolescence amid rising poverty, a mental health crisis, and increasing isolation.

We plan to double the number of young people engaging with our programmes over the next five years. We are also making significant investments in our impact function, to better understand how we can maximise the benefits for participants and attract more attention and investment to social and emotional learning (SEL) interventions.

Join the fight against climate change by securing vital funding that directly protects the world's most important rainforests. This is your chance to make a real difference while building meaningful relationships with funders who share your passion for environmental and social justice.

Cool Earth isn't just another climate charity – we're pioneers in community-led conservation, working alongside Indigenous and rainforest communities across the Amazon, Congo, and Papua New Guinea. For over 17 years, we've proven that the most effective way to protect rainforests is by empowering the people who call them home.

About You

As our Trusts Officer, you'll be at the heart of our mission, securing the funding that enables rainforest communities to defend their ancestral lands from illegal loggers and extractive industries. Every successful grant you secure translates into direct support for families who have been protecting these vital ecosystems for thousands of years.

You'll work with our innovative approach of providing unconditional cash transfers to communities so they can decide how best to improve their lives, from clean water systems to healthcare, education, and forest monitoring technology. This isn't traditional charity work; it's partnership-based conservation that respects Indigenous knowledge and leadership.

Location and hours

Working 22.5 hours across three days per week, you'll enjoy a good work-life balance whilst accelerating your career in a role that combines strategic thinking, creative storytelling, and meaningful relationship building.

Whilst remote applications are welcome, Cornwall-based candiates will be prioritsed. 

Light Up Learning is a Scottish charity providing bespoke support for high school students. We are dedicated to igniting a love of learning in young people and transforming the nature of education in Scotland.

Our programme aims to address issues of unequal access to education and disengagement in the classroom by creating low-stress, supportive, and playful learning environments for young people who have experienced disadvantage. Through creative, one-to-one mentoring relationships, our team helps young people rediscover their curiosity, build confidence, and imagine a future they genuinely want to work towards.

We currently work in 12 schools in Lothian and Borders and are looking to grow and build new partnerships with other schools across Scotland. We want to reach more students, nurture their curiosity, and provide the resources they need to succeed. To do this, we need further funding and the newly-created role of Head of Fundraising will play a key part in achieving this growth.

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser to oversee all aspects of high-value income generation, primarily focussing on HNWIs, leading to a doubling of our income by 2030. This role will report directly to the Chair with a dotted line to our Founder, and will manage the relationship with the Consultant we have engaged to write grant applications. The role will be very hands-on, and the right candidate will thrive off working alongside a entrepreneurial and passionate team. You will be a self-starter with the hunger and curiosity to build activity and relationships, and make a strong personal impact.

We are a small charity with big ambitions, and we work in a way that reflects our ethos: collaboratively, reflectively, and with a real sense of purpose. We are excited to welcome someone who shares our belief in the transformative power of learning and relationships - and who brings the skills, creativity, and drive to help us grow our impact.

This role is designed to be flexible in both hours and location, and we are open to conversations about how best to make it work for the right person. If you are someone who thrives in a mission-driven environment and want to be part of a team that is changing the lives of young people, we warmly encourage you to apply.
