SarcoidosisUK are a small, high-growth, healthcare charity based in London Bridge (SE1) looking for someone to help us evolve and expand our services. We’re focused on hiring the right personality rather than on a list of technical skills and experience. Therefore this could be a great opportunity for career switchers, particularly those looking to make a social impact.

Key benefits include:

• bonus system,
• flexible hours,
• opportunities to work across the UK and abroad,
• workplace pension,
• cycle to work scheme.

The charity has four main goals: Information, Support, Awareness and Research. You will be responsible for the day-to-day leadership and running of the organisation to achieve those goals.

This includes:

• making sure that all services and systems are running smoothly and effectively;
• representing the charity as the first point of contact;
• spearheading the continued growth of the organisation.

We’re a small organisation - that means a wide variety of roles. Some of your role is similar to that of a CEO (discussing strategy with the Trustee Board, helping set the direction of the charity and generating ideas for new projects), some is account management (building a funding network, applying for grants, liaising with funders and submitting reports), some is accounting (ensuring our receipts are in good order, working with our accountant trustee on our records and accounts), some is acting as a marketing officer (writing press releases, monthly newsletters, letters and GoogleAds), some is directly helping sufferers of the disease and being a passionate patient advocate (taking calls and answering emails, signposting information and setting people up to talk to our Nurse Helpline). Finally, your role will include the management of all staff and volunteers.

We’re particularly looking for people who can evidence that they’re fantastic with people and are effective managers and leaders. The team is just 2 full time and 4 part time employees, but leveraged with over 80 volunteers. Harnessing the energy of our volunteers in a positive way for both them and us is an essential part of the role. Building relationships showing we care is integral - we want volunteers to do good work and feel good about their involvement. Volunteers include consultants in our Clinical Board, patients in our Patient Board, Support Group Chairpeople and our Trustees. You would also be managing the full-time Fundraising Executive. The idea would be to then build out the team beneath you - starting in the near term with a new Junior Executive.

We amplify our impact by using systems and IT effectively. We often embark on projects where we know what we want at the end, a limited evidence assumption that a solution can be found, but very little idea of how to actually achieve it. We’ll then set out to explore and learn to achieve our goal. We’re therefore keen on someone who likes technology and who truly has a "can’t do it YET, but will work it out" attitude to new ideas and projects.

The role requires a lot of communication - telephone calls, emails, writing leaflets (co-authoring with clinicians and patients), web pages, funding applications and project briefs and reports. We’re looking for someone who is self-assured and self-reliant enough to conduct their own research and then write confidently on it to a variety of audiences.

We are not expecting any candidates to know anything about sarcoidosis - it is a rare disease. We would anticipate you learning about the condition on the job.

We’ve ensured a solid handover to help you take the reins. The current Senior Executive, who has been with us for four years, will be working for 2 days per week for the first 12 weeks. So there will be someone to ask as you take on the role.

We’re a nice team who enjoy working together. We’re looking for another nice person to join us!

Earliest start date: November 2019

Apply: Send your CV to [email protected] and a detailed cover letter explaining why you would like to work for SarcoidosisUK.

Deadline: Applications accepted until midnight on Tuesday 29th October.

Established in 1987, ARTICLE 19 works for a world where all people everywhere can freely express themselves and actively engage in public life without fear of discrimination.

Our mission is to promote and defend the universal human rights of freedom of expression and information around the world, through international advocacy, legal analysis, and regional and national projects.

ABOUT THE ROLE

The job holder will be expected to contribute to consolidating the financial sustainability of the organisation by developing and writing grant proposals to governments, multi-lateral organisations and foundations, identifying opportunities for the organisation to diversify its funding streams and increase its income capacity. A strong grounding in the requirements of European Commission and other government proposal writing is essential.

Reporting to the Head of Fundraising and Development, the job holder will assemble and submit grant requests, maintain a centralised and commonly used knowledge management/sharing system on key fundraising information, conduct prospect research, and maintain a calendar of submissions and other deadlines. The job holder will undertake a supporting role to proposals developed by regional offices and programs- participating in coordination meetings, providing advice for drafting the narrative and budget, developing specific sections as required and ensuring overall quality of the proposal and compliance with the donor’s evaluation criteria- while leading on cross-programmatic, global proposals and those for core funding.

The role will be based in the International office in London, and managed remotely by the Head of Fundraising and Development based in Spain.
