Join Different Strokes, a national charity led by young stroke survivors for young stroke survivors. There are 100,000 strokes in the UK every year, and 1 in 4 of these happen to someone of working age or younger. We aim to promote independent stroke recovery and help younger stroke survivors to reclaim their lives.

We are a small national charity that really cares about what we do. We are currently looking to expand our team, and to devote additional resources to support our network of local groups across the UK, which provide vital peer support for stroke survivors in a face-to-face setting.

We have around 30 autonomous local groups, which are all volunteer led.  As the Community Administrator you will work closely with our Volunteer and Groups Co-ordinator, and provide vital administrative support.  You will be responsible for such activities as data collecting, ensuring group documents and paperwork requirements are up-to-date, providing monthly updates and ordering marketing materials. 

You will help to ensure that all our group volunteers receive the support they require, and respect the autonomy that groups have to make their own decisions, while ensuring that they work within the framework of Different Strokes and that they meet compliance requirements.  The ability to communicate effectively with group volunteers and other third parties, by phone, email and through online platforms, is essential.

The role would be based in our office in Milton Keynes.  The willingness to undertake occasional visits to groups would be beneficial.

This is a permanent position for 15 hours per week.  Very occasional evening or weekend work will be required.

Applications are particularly welcome from individuals who have been personally affected by stroke.

Closing date: Monday 29th September 2025.

Interviews are likely to be held between Wednesday 8th October and Friday 17th October.  Interviews will be held at our office in Milton Keynes; if you have any accessibility requirements regarding interview please let us know.

• Manage existing supporters and increase income by identifying prospects and securing new donations.

About working for Pancreatic Cancer UK  

This is a fast-paced and growing organisation that is committed to making a difference to people with Pancreatic Cancer through research, support and campaigning. Being a part of our team is being part of a thriving, positive, successful, and welcoming community that is making an impact. We will support and develop you. There are opportunities to get involved in activities outside the scope of your immediate role. We care about your health and well-being and your work-life balance. You will feel that your contribution is valued and matters.

About us 

Pancreatic cancer is a tough one but we're taking it on. It is tough to diagnose, tough to treat, and tough to research. For too long this disease has been sidelined. We want to make sure that everyone affected by it gets all the help they need. Together we are taking on pancreatic cancer. Underpinning this vision are our three values:

• Courage
• Compassion
• Community

We cannot achieve our vision without employing people who are committed to our vision, strategy, and values.

At Pancreatic Cancer UK (PCUK) our ambition is to create an inclusive working environment that reflects the communities and audiences that we engage with and where everyone can be their true selves, where they feel respected, championed, heard, and supported.  We want our workforce to achieve their potential, understand their contribution and feel proud of their impact by creating a culture and organisation that is genuinely inclusive by advancing equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging through our policies and practices.

We believe diversity drives great outcomes by encouraging the different points of view that come from a diverse workforce. We want to hear from and engage with people whose experience of dealing with this disease may be very different depending on their individual circumstances and background. We can think of no better way to do this than by making sure this role fully represents our intent; therefore, we are especially keen to consider applications from suitable applicants who consider themselves to be in areas that appear underrepresented within the charity sector. 

Safeguarding

PCUK is committed to safe and fair recruitment processes that safeguard and protect those we work with, support and serve. We make sure all our staff are selected, vetted (DBS/Criminal record checks where appropriate), trained, and supervised fairly and to a high standard so that they can provide safe, effective and compassionate care. Where we work with volunteers, we extend the same support in order to ensure that they are working within our ethos and standards.

Hybrid-working:

Our London office is a place to connect, collaborate, and celebrate with colleagues, we recognise that flexibility around where you work is just as important. We are currently working hybrid with a minimum of 2-3 days in the office. This is an office-based role where you may be required to be in the office more frequently to attend activities and meetings depending on the needs of the role.

Department: Group Marketing and Communications

Contract type: Fixed Term Contract

Hours: 35 (Full time) - Part time 28 hours considered

Salary: £30,000 - £35,000 per annum depending on skills and experience

Join us as an Individual Giving Officer and help raise vital funds to support Big Issue vendors across the UK.

At Big Issue Group, we're on a mission to end poverty through innovative social enterprise. You'll know us best for our iconic magazine sold by vendors on streets nationwide – but we do so much more than that.

We create opportunities for the 14.5 million people living in relative poverty in the UK to earn, learn and thrive.

As our Individual Giving Officer, you'll be at the heart of raising unrestricted funds that directly support our work with Big Issue vendors and our broader poverty-fighting initiatives. This isn't just about fundraising – it's about connecting with people who share our vision and want to be part of the solution.

Your day-to-day will involve developing and running campaigns that recruit new supporters and keep our existing donors engaged across multiple channels. You'll get to work closely with our vendors and support teams to uncover the powerful stories that show the real impact of people's contributions – then craft these into compelling content that inspires others to get involved.

We're looking for someone who can think creatively about income generation, manage the production of supporter materials, and dive into the data to see what's working. You'll be collaborating with colleagues across the organization and working with various stakeholders to make sure our message resonates with supporters.

This role comes with ambitious growth targets, and you'll play a crucial part in helping us reach them. If you're passionate about using storytelling to drive social change and want to directly support the vendors and communities we serve, we'd love to hear from you.

We are looking for this role to ideally start early November.

About Alzheimer's Society - who are we and what’s our mission?  

Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.  

At Alzheimer’s Society, we’re the UK’s leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.  

Together with our supporters, we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. 

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.  

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging  

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as part of a minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.
