About HCPT

HCPT is a UK-based Catholic charity that provides life-changing pilgrimage experiences to Lourdes for children and adults with disabilities, complex medical needs, and social challenges of all faiths, and none. Every Easter and Summer, HCPT brings together thousands of volunteers, medical professionals, and chaplains to support pilgrims in a joyful, inclusive, and faith-filled environment. Our work is rooted in Christian values, community, and the belief that every person is uniquely gifted and loved.

Role Overview

This is a rare chance to join HCPT at a pivotal moment in our new strategy. As Fundraising & Events Manager, you will work closely with the Fundraising & Communications Director to build new income streams, develop compelling funding applications, and deliver high-impact fundraising events that bring HCPT's mission to life.

Shape evidence-led solutions to tackle systemic racism

We are recruiting two Policy Officers to support the development of evidence-led approaches to tackling racial inequality.

Working as part of our Policy and Practice team, you will contribute to research, policy development and influencing work. This includes producing evidence reviews, leading and contributing to report writing, working with partners across the voluntary and statutory sectors, and helping to co-produce solutions with people with lived experience.

You will also support our wider influencing activity, including using social media and other channels to promote change and engage key audiences.

This is an opportunity for someone with experience of research or policy work, and a strong understanding of racial inequality, to play a direct role in shaping work that informs practice and policy at a national level.

Who we are

The Race Equality Foundation is a national charity working to tackle systemic racism and create the conditions for everyone to live healthy, secure and fulfilling lives and we are looking to appoint two Policy and Practice Officers.

The Foundation has a long history of delivering innovative and influential programmes, research and policy change. This includes the evidence-based Strengthening Families, Strengthening Communities parenting programme, pioneering work on the experiences of Black, Asian and minoritised ethnic young people with a disability to older people living Dementia.At the same time, we established national collaborations to advance race equality and tools such as the Race Equity Maturity Index. 

Today, our work spans health and care, employment, housing and community wellbeing. Through partnerships, research, training and policy influence, we continue to demonstrate what meaningful anti-racist systems change can look like in practice. 

We are based in London but have a national remit.
