Full Fact – Philanthropy Officer
Location: Remote working.
Salary: £30-£35,000 per annum
Contract: Permanent, full time hours.

Full Fact, the independent fact checking charity, is seeking a fundraising professional to grow their impact and safeguard their independence by raising funds from charitable trusts and high net worth individuals.

Full Fact is a team of independent fact checkers and campaigners who find, expose and counter the harm it does – a team which has seen firsthand how bad information promotes hate, damages people’s health and hurts democracy. Full Fact fights for the right information to reach the people who need it most, whether that’s individuals making decisions about their health or who to vote for; or politicians debating the future of our country.

The Philanthropy Officer will create and manage their own portfolio of existing and potential philanthropy donors and use relationship building skills to create strong links with both new and existing donors, including delivering high quality stewardship and reporting on Full Fact’s successes. The post-holder will create and update detailed and persuasive cases for support for new and existing Full Fact projects and deliver successful events that align with Full Fact’s mission and increase engagement. The role will also involve forecasting potential income from the portfolio, prepare updates for the Board and setting and meeting effective objectives and key results for Full Fact’s fundraising.

The ideal candidate for this role will have two years of fundraising experience, preferably in trusts and/or major donor fundraising. You will have experience of writing compelling fundraising appeals and inspiring reports, and of designing and managing engagement events, as well as possessing a good understanding of working with philanthropists and charitable trusts. Your persuasive communication skills will be combined with the ability to build internal and external relationships with integrity and empathy and you will have an organised and proactive approach to work. Finally, you will be committed to the political neutrality of the organisation’s work and an understanding of public debate in the UK and sensitivity to the political context they work in.

We’re looking for a MEAL specialist who is, at heart, a peacebuilder.  You’ll deputise for the Regional Director as needed, and work collaboratively as a key part of the Regional Leadership Team to shape the strategic direction of Concordis’ future work across the Central African region.

As Regional Head of MEAL, your work will go above and beyond reporting to the donor on logframe outputs and outcomes to the donor, as important as those are.  With your extensive peacebuilding experience, you’ll work with the team to develop and implement sophisticated metrics for measuring these changes over time.  You’ll feed this information back into programme delivery, to ensure programmes remain accountable to the wider population and adapt to the rapidly changing and fragile contexts in which we work.

You’ll also use your flair for writing and your publishing skills to produce more informal news items, telling stories of the impact of our work, and publicising the recommendations that come from dialogues we facilitate.  This will help us amplify voices that are often ignored by decision makers, leading to evidence-based policy making.

Role Duties and Responsibilities:

Develop and implement the programme’s monitoring and evaluation systems

Develop and oversee the systems to monitor and evaluate activities and their impact

Evaluate and enhance existing data collection tools used during previous monitoring exercises

Evaluate and enhance existing metrics to measure attitudinal and behavioural change resulting from programme activities.

Design the implementation plan to monitor and evaluate programme delivery.

Contribute to the development of Concordis’ peacebuilding methodology, policy, strategy and monitoring and evaluation.

Responsible for programme monitoring and evaluation

Ensure the programme adapts and evolves to meet the needs identified, remaining accountable to communities affected by conflict.

Monitor against performance indicators to check that the project is delivering as planned.  Identify issues and agree action plans to address.

Monitor against the Theory of Change and ensure the programme is achieving the intended impact.   If not, identify what needs to change and how to create that change.

Capture learning and identify what worked, what didn’t work and what we’d do differently next time.

Responsible for producing timely internal and external reports

Lead the MEAL team to produce monthly and bi-annual donor reports on all regional programme activities.

Generate clear, professional and visually attractive reports that explain the impact of our work and the recommendations from our dialogues.

Work with the Communications team producing informal news items, telling the story of the impact of our work and publicising the recommendations that come from dialogues facilitated by Concordis.

Create a culture of accountability and learning across the Regional Team

Lead on ensuring staff across the programme understand the role of MEAL in their work and have the skills to operate the required systems and capture the data.

Deliver training and coaching on our approach to MEAL, techniques and tools to the wider team.

Leadership responsibility in the Regional Team

Deputise for the Central African Regional Director in their absence.

As part of the regional Senior Leadership Team oversee the work and staff teams in the regional hubs in CAR, Cameroon, Chad and Sudan.
