Making growth work – sustainably and responsibly

Affinity Trust is a values-led social care charity supporting people with learning disabilities, autism and other assessed needs to live their lives, their way.

We’re growing - and with that growth comes a clear responsibility: to ensure our contracts, services and partnerships are commercially viable, operationally strong, and true to our social purpose.

We’re looking for a Commercial Manager who brings commercial rigour as well as curiosity - someone who can improve performance across existing contracts as confidently as they develop new opportunities.

This is a pivotal role, working closely with the Commercial Director, Finance, Operations and senior leaders across the organisation.

About the role

As Commercial Manager, you’ll play a key role in strengthening the financial sustainability and commercial performance of Affinity Trust.

You’ll focus on:

• ensuring existing contracts and services are commercially viable,
• identifying and delivering efficiency and value-for-money improvements, and
• developing strong, evidence-based business cases for growth, diversification and partnerships.

You’ll work across the organisation to turn insight into action - balancing ambition with realism, and growth with long-term sustainability.

What You’ll Do

• Strengthen commercial performance by reviewing contract viability, improving profitability, and leading value-for-money and efficiency initiatives.
• Develop robust business cases for growth, diversification, and partnerships, working closely with Operations and Finance to assess affordability, risk and return.
• Support sustainable growth by identifying new commercial opportunities and carrying out early-stage due diligence on partnerships or acquisitions.
• Use insight and data to track performance through clear KPIs and dashboards, informing senior decision-making.
• Work collaboratively across the organisation to ensure commercial decisions are operationally deliverable, person-centred and values-led.

What We’re Looking For

You’ll bring:

• Strong commercial and financial acumen, with experience improving contract performance or commercial efficiency.
• Proven experience developing and evaluating business cases and financial models.
• Understanding of commissioning, contracting and funding in social care, health or housing.
• Confidence working across teams and influencing senior stakeholders.
• A practical, analytical mindset - able to spot risk, challenge assumptions and find solutions.

How You’ll Make an Impact
You’ll help shape sustainable, person‑centred growth by aligning colleagues, ensuring commercial efficiency, and turning strategic ideas into real results.

What will we do?

• We offer hybrid working (min. 2 days/week in Thame)
• 31 days’ annual leave (inc. bank holidays), rising with service
• Health cash plan, Pension, Life assurance, Employee Assistance Programme
• Blue Light Card, option to buy extra annual leave
   

Inclusion, accessibility and our commitment to diversity
Diversity is key to what we do. Life would be dull, and change slow, if we all thought the same way. We want colleagues who bring different perspectives, backgrounds and experiences, and we know this makes us stronger and better for the people we support. 

We are committed to being Disability Confident and we guarantee to interview all applicants with a disability who meet the minimum criteria for the vacancy. 

We’re also committed to making our recruitment process as accessible as possible. If you need any reasonable adjustments at any stage, for example, accessible formats, support with the application form or adjustments for interview, you can tell us in your application or contact our recruitment team to discuss what you need.

Ready to join us?

If you’re ready to drive new commercial opportunities that make a real impact, connecting with colleagues to build strong relationships, making a real difference in a values-led charity, this could be your next role.

If you are offered the role, you will be required to have a DBS check at the relevant level, which we’ll cover the cost for.

Cardiomyopathy UK is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by cardiomyopathy. We provide clinical information, emotional support, and work to influence policy and practice so that everyone affected by cardiomyopathy receives timely diagnosis, high-quality care, and support.

Our established Change Maker volunteer network brings together people with lived experience of cardiomyopathy who share their stories and the expertise it provides to advocate for meaningful policy and practice change. Change Makers contribute in a range of ways, from running awareness raising activities and supporting social media campaigns to engaging with MPs. Their work helps drive improvements in care pathways, raise public understanding of cardiomyopathy and provide valuable input into Cardiomyopathy UK’s policy development.

As the network enters its next phase, we are seeking a skilled and passionate Freelance Senior Advocacy Officer to help take it forward.

Role Purpose

The Freelance Senior Advocacy Officer will lead the growth and development of our Change Maker network, ensuring volunteers are supported, empowered, and equipped to influence change at local, regional, and national levels. In this role, you will work closely with the Policy Manager to design and implement a strategic plan for the network, and provide the training, tools and resources our volunteers need to advocate effectively. The ideal candidate will bring expertise in advocacy, campaigns or volunteer engagement, along with strong project management skills.

As a 0.4 FTE freelance role, responsibilities will be phased and prioritised over the course of the contract.

Job Purpose:

EMERGENCY ONG ETS (‘EMERGENCY’) is an independent non-governmental organisation. Headquartered in Italy, it provides free, high-quality medical and surgical treatment to victims of war, landmines and poverty. At the same time, it promotes a culture of peace, solidarity and respect for human rights.

Since its founding in 1994, EMERGENCY has worked in 21 countries around the world, providing free medical care in accordance with its core principles of equality, quality and social responsibility. We do this in a sustainable way: by building healthcare facilities, training local personnel, and conducting search and rescue missions in the Mediterranean Sea.

As an affiliate, EMERGENCY UK has set out an exciting ambition to build on its success over the last three years. This includes a substantial growth in its income, with a particular focus on high value giving from philanthropists, trusts and other private donors. The aim is to implement the newly developed high value fundraising strategy, with a view to tripling current income levels from this source by securing high five and six figure gifts of both unrestricted and restricted income.

The purpose of the Development Manager is to build and maintain a portfolio of high value donors and prospects through proactive networking, identifying cultivation opportunities and thoughtful stewardship. With a focus range of £100,000 and above, the position will develop long-term, strategic partnerships with existing and potential high value supporters, where relationships and their impact will be measured from both a financial and non-financial perspective. 

The postholder must be able to work independently with minimal supervision and demonstrate a high degree of lateral thinking within a small but hard-working team.

Main activities:

In this context, the postholder will be required to spend a considerable amount of the working week out of the office travelling and meeting in person with potential donors and their representatives.   

2) To manage and develop meaningful donor relationships, including with existing donors, by utilising a wide range of methods, including stewardship events and networking amongst existing donors and their contacts.

3) To actively participate in the implementation of the current high value fundraising strategy, leading change and adjusting plans based on experience and realistic assessments in order to meet pre-agreed targets. This includes supporting the ongoing development of all aspects of the strategy, such as the case for support, prospect research, donor recognition opportunities and individual donor development plans for high value donors and prospects.

4) To contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of the team, taking a lead role in the annual planning and reporting process for high value donors, providing regular progress reports against income targets and ensuring high standards of accountability. This also includes ensuring written and electronic records of donors are maintained, in compliance with data protection legislation.

5) To represent, and act as an ambassador, for EMERGENCY UK at external events, promoting its work and values where and when possible.

Person specification:

• Senior level experience working with foundations, corporates, high and ultra-high net worth individuals, leading them from identification to giving annual and multi-year gifts at the high five and six-figure level
