About Unique

Through sharing knowledge and lived experience, Unique helps families and professionals navigate the world of chromosome and gene disorders.

Unique is a charity that provides accurate and accessible information to empower those looking for answers. Alongside this, we act as a facilitator, helping people connect with each other to share their experiences of rare gene and chromosome disorders.

We work with anyone who has been affected by, or wants to know more about, rare chromosome or gene disorders - whether that’s an individual, a family, a carer, a doctor or a scientist. We believe that by working together, we can find new ways to support and celebrate people living truly unique lives.

Unique has over 30,000 members (individuals, families and professionals) globally, but our office is based in Oxted, Surrey, UK.

The Role

This role will develop, support and manage a network of volunteers across England to help build both virtual and local communities for families affected by rare chromosome and gene disorders.
 
This role will lead on the recruitment, training and ongoing support of volunteers from the Unique membership to ensure they feel confident, connected and valued in their roles. Working closely with the Engagement and Communications Officer, the postholder will also help plan and run a programme of virtual events and online activities tailored to the needs of our members and encouraging supportive peer relationships between them.
 
The ideal candidate will be a strong communicator with experience of volunteer management and community engagement. You’ll enjoy building relationships, empowering others, and creating opportunities for people to connect and support one another.
 
This is a hybrid role which includes occasional working in our Oxted office to build relationships with our small, friendly team, as well as time spent on the ground with volunteers in different regions. The role will involve regular travel across England, with occasional weekend and evening work (for which time off in lieu will be provided).
 
We are committed to inclusion, equality and diversity and welcome applicants from all parts of the community.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deliver Unique’s volunteer strategy, ensuring volunteers are effectively supported and engaged

• Recruit, train and induct new volunteers, and develop resources, training materials and recognition schemes for volunteers

• Provide regular communication, guidance and supervision to volunteers, ensuring their wellbeing and satisfaction

• Build a strong sense of community through a programme of face to face and virtual meet-ups and workshops

• Work in partnership with volunteers and members to creatively use online communication channels to promote community connections

• Maintain up-to-date volunteer records and ensure compliance with safeguarding, data protection and health & safety policies

• Coordinate and support volunteer involvement at family events, conferences, webinars and local meet-ups

• Work collaboratively with the staff team to promote volunteering opportunities and celebrate volunteer contributions

• Monitor and report on volunteer engagement, diversity and impact

Our client is the UK's only theatre company and participatory arts charity focused on addiction. This charity develops, nurtures and produces new writing and performances connected to substance misuse, touring to off-West End venues, festivals, treatment facilities and other civic spaces. Alongside its productions, they run weekly participatory workshops and delivers drama, dance and creative writing taster sessions in treatment facilities, using creativity to support confidence, self-esteem and lasting positive change in people's lives. Our client is recruiting a Senior Development Manager, and Prospectus is leading the search.

Senior Development Manager

Full time, 40 hours per week (open to part time, flexible working and job share)

Hybrid working (at least 50% office based in E1 5HU)

£40,000–£45,000 per annum

This is a newly created role, which will help take the charity's fundraising to the next level. The new Senior Development Manager will grow existing income (trusts, foundations and statutory) and develop newer income streams (individual giving and corporate partnerships). Supported by the charity's Artistic Director/CEO and an expert Development Subcommittee, the Senior Development Manager will lead on the development and delivery of the fundraising strategy, securing five- and six-figure gifts and working towards an ambition to raise around £300,000 per year within the first two years. The role also includes oversight of regular supporter communications (including a monthly newsletter) and the use of tools such as Salesforce and Mailchimp, while keeping up to date with fundraising compliance, policy and sector trends.

To be successful, you will bring substantial experience of delivering significant fundraising targets, ideally in the arts or cultural, or social welfare sectors, and a strong track record of generating income from a mix of the income streams mentioned above. Applications are welcomed from fundraisers ready to step into their first senior leadership role; however, you will have the confidence to design and implement an ambitious fundraising strategy. Crucially, you will be an excellent communicator and relationship-builder, organised and detail-focused, comfortable managing pipelines and budgets, and motivated by the power of the arts with social inclusion at its core. Our client is also keen to hear from candidates who are willing to support marketing and promotional activity (experience welcome but not essential).
