Do you have a passion for saving nature in the South West of England? This is a fantastic opportunity to lead the next phase of Nature South West (NSW)-a bold regional initiative accelerating large-scale nature recovery through collaboration, technical support, and investment readiness.

Hosted by the RSPB, and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Project Manager will coordinate partners, manage the creation of investable propositions, engage with funders, oversee communications and events, and secure further funding. The ideal candidate will have experience in green finance, nature recovery policy, and multi-stakeholder project delivery. Due to the breadth of the work, the job will be exciting and varied, with a real opportunity to make a big difference to nature.

About Nature South West

The South West of England is rich in natural resources and has the potential to lead the UK in green technologies and nature-based solutions. Its economy is deeply intertwined with the health of its ecosystems, supporting industries like agriculture, tourism, fishing, and renewable energy.

However, the region is under significant pressure from the climate and biodiversity crises, which threaten both its environment and economy. Nature is often overlooked in financial decision-making, and restoration efforts are typically short-term and underfunded.

Nature South West (NSW) has emerged to fill this critical gap. Acting as a regional bridge between local delivery partners and large-scale funders, NSW will bring together expertise and project opportunities to define shared priorities for nature recovery. These priorities will be shaped into investible propositions that meet environmental, economic, and social needs, enabling projects to attract broader and more sustained funding.

NSW is initially focusing on two of the South West’s most vital natural systems: rivers and wetlands, and coastal and marine habitats. These landscapes are not only rich in biodiversity but also critical to the region’s resilience-supporting clean water, carbon storage, flood protection, and local livelihoods. By convening partners, sharing expertise, and championing investible nature recovery opportunities, NSW is positioning the South West as a national leader in nature-based solutions and unlocking new pathways for public and private investment.

Key areas of work will include:

• Responsibility for all aspects of project coordination and delivery of the Nature South West Project Plan, activities and outputs.
• Manage the project budget ensuring that necessary changes are escalated and approved.
• Engaging with stakeholders
• Identify, record, manage and communicate risks and issues, putting in place appropriate contingency actions where required.
• Managing the procurement and contractor tendering process for evaluation, website design/delivery and green finance specialist.
• Managing and overseeing consultants & contractors.
• Reporting and claiming - produce the relevant project documentation to meet the requirements of the RSPB, The National Lottery Heritage Fund, our partners and other funders.

What we need from you:

We’re seeking a dynamic and adaptable individual who can lead a complex programme with confidence and clarity.

Essential skills and experience:

• Energy, enthusiasm, and adaptability to deliver a multi-faceted programme on time and on budget
• Experience in project management, event coordination, and/or communications
• Proven ability to work independently and take initiative
• Experience delivering large-scale, complex projects or programmes
• Knowledge of green finance, particularly in securing blended finance for large-scale environmental projects with co-benefits
• Experience with procurement, tendering, and contractor management
• Understanding of nature recovery priorities in policy and legislation, and how they apply in the South West
• Ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders to deliver complex projects; knowledge of South West partners is desirable
• Experience writing business cases or funding bids, and overseeing project delivery and reporting
• Excellent communication skills and a well-organised approach to work

Additional Information

• This is a 24-month Full-Time role for 37.5 hours per week which is funded through the National Lottery Heritage Fund as part of the Nature South West programme.
• Reports to: The RSPB, with operational guidance provided by the Nature South West Board, comprising representatives of Natural England, the Environment Agency, National Trust, Blackdown Hills National landscape, NFU, Devon Wildlife Trust, Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Local Nature Partnership.

Our work on brand strategy

We work with organisations helping to shape a better society, from improving school food and protecting children in war to conserving the ocean.

Our role is to help them express their value more clearly. The issue is not the strength of their work, but how they talk about it: the positioning is too broad, the language too abstract, or the message too full of jargon to connect.

That matters because our clients need to reach more than one audience. They may need to influence policymakers while also building trust with donors, partners, media and others around them.

We help clients define what sets them apart and turn that into a brand that people can understand and respond to. In practice, that means giving them language they can actually use in the policy world, not just something theoretical. It helps them speak about their work clearly and credibly, stand out from similar organisations, and stay on top of mind with the people who shape decisions, so they are better placed to influence policy.

The job

We want a creative brand strategist who treats a brand as a functional tool.

You will help clients, from think tanks to charities to research organisations, move beyond technical sector speak by building end-to-end strategies rooted in research but delivered with a unique voice. You will create the positioning statements and the overall brand architecture that give these organisations a distinct personality, building on their core values to make sure they feel authentic.

We want someone who won’t shy away from testing whether a client should be bold and authoritative, or lead with an emotional narrative to influence the right people. 

What we don’t want is someone comfortable with the bland stuff. We are not looking for someone who imposes their own idea of what a brand should be. The best brand work comes from listening closely to how clients describe what they do, helping them refine and articulate it, and shaping that into something clear and distinctive. The brands you create need to go beyond words; you will create a brand that helps clients live it in practice. 

What we are looking for: 

In addition to the above, you will have: 

• A background in running brand audits, including stakeholder interviews, competitor research, and workshops to identify where a brand sits now and where it needs to go.

• Skill in translating technical policy language into a clear, creative written brand strategy that a client’s communications and design teams can use.

• Confidence in turning strategy into actionable briefs for designers for visual identity development. 

• Experience serving as the main point of contact for clients, managing their expectations, and offering constructive pushback when necessary.

If you feel like you don’t meet 100% of the criteria, please don’t let that stop you. If you love the sound of this role and have a strong foundation in developing brand strategies, we would love to hear from you.

Note: This is an immediate hire. We are reviewing applications on a rolling basis, so please don't wait to apply.

The built environment sector is at the forefront of achieving net zero and future economic growth, offering young people substantial opportunity for career progression.

The role

Construction Youth Trust is in a strong financial position with an excellent Fundraising & Partnership team, supported by well-established systems. We already have a strong pipeline in place to meet our fundraising targets (£2M - £2.5M p.a.) This is an opportunity for a Senior Fundraising Leader with the skills and experience to consolidate and build on this success. We are looking for someone with the drive and experience to help the Trust meet our ambition to significantly increase opportunity for disadvantaged young people within the build environment.

We are seeking a Head of Fundraising & Partnerships with a strong desire to play an active Senior Leadership role and contribute to the Trust’s wider strategy, governance and day-to-day charity management. There is the opportunity to play a significant role shaping and steering the Trust’s next business planning cycle. Ideally, the post-holder would be willing/able to deputise for the CEO and the salary offered to the successful candidate will be dependent on experience and level of responsibility.  There is significant headroom at the Trust for a fundraising leader who is looking to take on a more strategic role within this dynamic charity, either immediately or with structured development and support.

How do I apply?

Employability Coordinator 

Our team is growing and we're looking for a skilled, people-focused coordinator to join us in making a real difference for young carers across Dorset.

We are recruiting an Employability Coordinator to plan, coordinate, and deliver our Employability Programme, supporting young carers aged 14 to 25 through key transitions from school into further education, higher education, and work. 

This is more than a programme delivery role. You'll be the primary point of contact for day-to-day activity, building trust with young carers, partnering with schools, colleges, and employers, and making sure every young person gets a consistent, high-quality experience. 

You'll play a key role in growing the programme's reach and impact, designing workshops and events including our Employability Celebration Event and Careers Convention, facilitating our TEMPO group for 14- to 25-year-olds, and opening up 'days in the workplace' that show young carers what's possible. 

We're looking for confident, organised communicators with a track record of delivering employability, careers, or transition programmes to young people. People who can engage a 14- to 25-year-old audience, build strong partnerships with schools and businesses, and manage competing priorities with ease. 

If you're ready to bring your expertise and energy to a cause that truly matters and help young carers unlock their futures, we'd love to hear from you.

St Nicholas Hospice Care is a successful charity serving the local area of West Suffolk and Thetford. Every year we support nearly 2,000 local people, delivering care across multiple settings. Our services are not just for patients, but for their family and friends too, and include everything from specialist medical care to bereavement support and practical help.

Are you highly organised, confident in all forms of communication and known for your attention to detail? In this role, you’ll use your strong administrative and planning skills to keep events and community activities running smoothly, whilst providing reliable and proactive support to colleagues and volunteers. If you thrive in a busy environment, enjoy coordinating moving parts, and take pride in delivering work to a high standard, this could be the ideal next step for you.

As our Fundraising Assistant (Events & Community), you’ll be at the heart of supporting imaginative, meaningful and well‑run events that truly bring people together. Playing an integral part of the supporter journey — from planning the details to coordinating volunteers and supporting our fantastic local fundraisers — you’ll help create moments that matter and ensure every supporter feels valued from their first contact through to their thank‑you.

Working alongside colleagues and volunteers, you’ll help share inspiring stories, support the delivery of engaging activities, and play a part in connecting people to a cause that truly matters. Through each conversation, task and event you support, you’ll be contributing to St Nicholas Hospice Care’s mission to provide compassionate care to nearly 2,000 people each year.

This is a role for someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in providing reliable, well‑organised administrative support. One day you might be assisting colleagues with the logistics for a flagship event; the next, helping a community group with the practical steps needed to develop their fundraising idea. You’ll play a supportive role in building relationships, coordinating information, and helping to keep tasks moving smoothly — bringing your calm, friendly approach to every interaction.

You’ll be joining a supportive, enthusiastic fundraising team where your ideas are welcome, your development is encouraged, and your work genuinely makes a difference. You’ll see the impact of what you help deliver — in the smiles, stories and shared moments created at each event.

What you’ll bring:

• Strong organisational and administrative skills
• A friendly, confident communication style
• A positive attitude with the ability to stay motivated under pressure
• A passion for teamwork and working with your local community
• Good IT skills and great attention to detail

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a supportive fundraising team, helping to deliver meaningful events and activities that raise vital funds—and celebrating the impact you help create every day.

Working for us
As an employee you will receive the following benefits:
• Opportunity for some home working
• Health Cash Plan & Wellbeing programme (dentistry, optical, emotional wellbeing support)
• 25 days annual leave increasing with service (pro rata for part time employees)
• Enhanced Occupational sick pay scheme
• Home-made meals available in our onsite bistro
• Access to a group pension plan or continuation of NHS Pension (subject to criteria)
• Life assurance
• Free onsite parking
• Access to Blue Light Card scheme discounts
• Social events (such as photography group, quiz nights, picnics and more)

If you’re ready to grow your skills, take on new challenges, and play a key role in making hospice care possible… we’d love to hear from you.
