The ACU offers a unique opportunity to make a real difference in the higher education sector. We are one of the largest, most diverse international university networks, bringing together over 440 universities in over 40 countries. We support Commonwealth Universities to collaborate and to work together to build a more equitable and sustainable world.

The team supports the ACU’s policy and advocacy work, aiming to benefit our members by fostering international research and education collaboration at both individual and organisational levels.

The role

The Commonwealth Sustainable Cities Coalition (CSCC) is a transformative, multi-level, multi-sector coalition designed to address the intersecting challenges of rapid urbanisation and climate change across the Commonwealth. The CSCC is a collaboration between the Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU), the Commonwealth Association of Architects (CAA), the Commonwealth Association of Planners (CAP), the Commonwealth Engineers’ Council (CEC), and the Commonwealth Local Government Forum (CLGF), working with The King’s Foundation (KF).

The CSCC Programme Manager will set up and oversee the CSCC Secretariat function, coordinate governance structures, and, in collaboration with the ACU Senior Policy and Networks Manager, lead the delivery of a cross-cutting skills agenda through the ACU’s newly launched Expert Group model. The role will also support CSCC partners in establishing three transdisciplinary Action Groups - focused on housing, integrated planning, and urban finance - and support delivery of three National Dialogues in selected Commonwealth countries. This role offers a unique opportunity to help establish the CSCC, a platform that will shape policy, strengthen capacity, and mobilise higher education expertise to support sustainable urban development across the Commonwealth.

Who are we looking for?

The Royal Historical Society seeks to appoint an Events and Academic Engagement Officer (0.6 FTE) to join its professional Office based at University College London.

Are you a policy or campaigns leader who wants to drive real-world change?

Do you want to use your advocacy and communications skills to challenge injustice and amplify excluded voices?

At HCT, we know healthcare should work for everyone – but too often, it doesn’t. We’ve proven what’s possible: our work on hepatitis C has transformed services nationally, and we’re expanding into cancer prevention, harm reduction, needle exchange, and many other areas. We’re also at the forefront of the fight for justice for those affected by the Infected Blood scandal.

We’re looking for someone who can bring creativity, confidence, and passion to help us shift policy and public attitudes, amplify the voices of marginalised communities, and hold government to account. This is a pivotal moment for us organisationally as we seek to drive major change for the communities we work with, from drug policy to criminal justice to infected blood. The successful candidate will have excellent partnership-building skills across Government, VCS, NHS and Whitehall; have a strong focus on social justice; and have a real belief in the power of working closely with communities.

As Head of Policy & Advocacy, you will:

• Lead bold campaigns that influence government, shift public debate, and secure justice for excluded communities, including those affected by the Infected Blood scandal.
• Champion health equity: keeping hepatitis C elimination, harm reduction, and wider inclusion health issues firmly on the national agenda.
• Amplify lived experience by ensuring our campaigns, media work, and policy influencing are shaped by and centred on the voices of our teams and communities.
• Build power through partnerships: working with partner charities, health leaders, and campaigners to push for systemic change.
• Shape and oversee communications: from press engagement to social media — making sure our messages cut through and inspire action.
• Guide and support colleagues: line managing our Senior Policy & Campaigns Officer and playing an active role in our senior management team.

You’ll be someone who:

• Has experience influencing policy and shifting narratives – whether through campaigns, communications, advocacy, or all three.
• Knows how to build coalitions and partnerships, and can navigate Westminster, Whitehall, and beyond.
• Can work strategically and independently, spotting opportunities and acting on them.
• Is motivated by justice, equality, and creating a fairer future.
• Brings excellent communication skills – from crafting persuasive messages to building great relationships.
• Understands the value of evidence, but also the power of storytelling and lived experience in driving change.

This role offers real autonomy: you’ll have the space to shape our influencing and communications work, backed by a committed team and a growing organisation ready to amplify your impact.

Palliative care for children aged 0–18 is delivered at Acorns’ hospices in Birmingham, Worcester, and Walsall, as well as in family homes and other community settings. Acorns’ holistic, tailored approach is designed to meet each child’s clinical, emotional, cultural, religious, and spiritual needs.

Corporate fundraising at Acorns is on an exciting growth journey, with ambitions to increase income from £800K to £1M in the next two years. The team is known for its creativity and drive, and the charity has built strong partnerships with high-profile brands including Aston Villa FC, Pinsent Masons, and Tippers. This is an environment where innovation, strategy, and genuine relationship-building all come together to create meaningful, long-term partnerships.

This role offers a warm and well-developed patch, a supportive team culture, and space to be creative in how you grow and uplift corporate partnerships. You’ll be the lead relationship manager for a portfolio of established partners across Birmingham and the Black Country, focusing on stewardship, renewals, and smart uplifts.

While the focus is primarily account management (around 75%), you’ll also contribute to new business through activities like COTY pitches.

Expect variety, visibility, and the chance to make a genuine impact.

• Take an active role in planning and delivering key corporate events, such as golf days and black-tie dinners
• Contribute to cultivation plans for senior leaders within corporate partners
• Use data and insight to report on progress and inform partnership development

Ideal skills and experience:

• Strong corporate fundraising or account management background, ideally with experience managing partnerships in the £30K–£50K+ range
• Confident steward and communicator, able to build rapport and deliver excellent supporter journeys
• Strategic thinker with a flair for finding growth opportunities within existing partnerships
• Comfortable pitching and presenting to corporate audiences at all levels
• Excellent organiser who can juggle competing priorities, meet deadlines, and maintain attention to detail
• Willingness to work out-of-hours at events and maintain regular hospice presence
• Dynamic, creative, and solutions-focused, with a collaborative mindset and passion for Acorns’ mission

Benefits include:

• 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays (5 days holiday buyback scheme starting from April 2026)
• 7.5% employer pension contribution
• Life assurance scheme (2 x annual salary)
• Retail discounts (including the Blue Light card)
• Cycle to work scheme
• Discounted gym membership
• Access to expert financial health and wellbeing support

Role Summary

Join our team and help us improve public sector food across the UK with our School Plates and new Hospital Plates programmes. We're looking for a passionate and driven Chef Trainer to support schools and hospitals in delivering healthier and more sustainable menus.
