Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious fundraiser to establish a robust mid-value (£10k-£99k) programme and pipeline of trusts, foundations, and National Lottery agencies.

The core function of your role will be to develop and manage a new programme of mid-value (£10k-£99k) trusts, foundations, and National Lottery agencies to increase income for both project and core activities. This will include researching and building a pipeline of prospects, preparing high-quality written proposals and reports, and delivering excellent stewardship. You will account-manage a small cohort of existing donors, delivering on contractual agreements and strengthening the relationships long term. 

You will liaise closely with colleagues across services, research, and campaigning to gather the necessary project information, data, case studies, and outcomes for use in your applications and impact reporting.

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

About the service: Door of Hope, East London

Door of Hope supports women who sell sex in Tower Hamlets through advocacy, information, emotional support and practical help. The service works alongside women at their own pace and is supported by a committed volunteer team delivering street outreach in Tower Hamlets on Thursday mornings and Friday nights.

About the role

Beyond the Streets is a UK charity with over 20 years’ experience partnering with women in the sex industry to support safety from coercion, violence and abuse. We provide trauma-informed, person-centred support, specialist training, and resources shaped by research, lived experience and practitioner insight.

This psychotherapy service was developed because many women supported by Door of Hope need flexible, accessible therapeutic support that mainstream services may not be able to provide. Since its introduction, the service has demonstrated meaningful positive impact, supporting psychological and behavioural change for women experiencing multiple disadvantage.

Based at our offices in Tower Hamlets, you will provide women-centred psychotherapeutic support to women with complex needs through in-person, online, telephone or blended approaches.

At times, you may meet women in local cafés, hostels or other community settings to build relationships, establish trust and offer brief therapeutic interventions.

You will work alongside a small Door of Hope daytime support team and service manager to manage risk, coordinate support, and help women access appropriate services across the borough.

Who are we looking for…

• Relevant professional qualifications.
• Understanding of the complexities facing women experiencing multiple disadvantage and the barriers they may face when accessing services.
• Experience working within a multi-disciplinary framework.
• Experience engaging with people from diverse backgrounds.
• Knowledge of adult safeguarding protocols and procedures.
• A non-judgemental, women-centred approach to support.
• Confidence working within a Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG) framework.
• A commitment to providing high-quality, women-led and trauma-informed support.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Patience, compassion, resilience and a motivational approach.
• A responsible, dedicated and flexible approach to work.
• Competent IT and computer skills.

We are seeking a compassionate, non-judgemental practitioner who recognises each woman’s strengths and can work safely within gender-informed, trauma-informed and safeguarding frameworks. You will bring experience of complex trauma, multiple disadvantage and multi-disciplinary risk management, alongside a strong commitment to extending the reach and impact of this work.

Please answer the following questions on a separate Word document and submit alongside your CV.

1. This is not a conventional Director of Operations role. Alongside leading operations, you’ll help shape the culture, systems and ways of working of a new organisation. What attracts you to this opportunity, and what experience has best prepared you to build an organisation rather than simply manage one? (250 words)

2. Power to Prosper believes organisations cannot address racial inequity simply through good intentions; they must deliberately design their systems, culture and decision-making differently. Tell us about a time when your understanding of structural racism influenced the way you built or changed an organisational system, policy or way of working. What changed as a result? (250 words)
