This could be the one. Chasing the Stigma is a national mental health charity on a mission to normalise and humanise mental health and they're looking for their first ever Fundraising Manager.

You'll find this a unique opportunity to own and grow an emerging fundraising function and shape it into something extra special.

Salary: £32-36k
Contract: Permanent, full-time 35 hours per week or reduced hours considered

About Chasing the Stigma

Chasing the Stigma exists to make sure everyone in the UK can find mental health support, whenever they need it.

Following organic growth, they are now ready to take fundraising to the next level - and this is where you come in!

About the role

As Fundraising Manager, you will support the development and lead on the delivery of a new and ambitious fundraising strategy across individual giving, community fundraising and corporate partnerships.

You will be trusted to spot opportunities, test ideas and build sustainable income streams that support life-changing and life-saving work.

This is a hands-on, varied role where you will combine strategic thinking with practical delivery. You will work closely with colleagues to build a clear case for support, bring the charity's impact to life through powerful storytelling and build meaningful relationships with supporters and partners across the UK.

There is real potential to build a fundraising team as income grows, if this matters to you.

• Track record of generating income through fundraising or business development
• Confidence with high-value corporate or individual fundraising, working at five-figures
• Strong communication and storytelling skills
• Proactive, ideas-led approach and enjoy taking ownership
• Genuine passion for shifting the dial on mental health

We would particularly welcome applications from people of colour, people with disabilities, people who identify as being LGBTQIA+, and people from other commonly marginalised groups who are underrepresented in Chasing the Stigma's team.

It is a complex epilepsy syndrome so as well as severe, difficult-to-control seizures, people with Dravet Syndrome live with intellectual disability and a spectrum of associated difficulties including with speech and language, mobility, behaviours, eating and sleep. It is also common to have a co-diagnosis of autism and/or ADHD.

Change lives in a life-changing career

When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world can feel like it’s falling apart. Independence is taken and confidence is stolen. Stability no longer exists. The future suddenly feels uncertain.

The impact of cancer on young lives is more than medical. And that impact can be felt by entire family. That’s why we exist. Our specialist social workers help children and young people with cancer and their families navigate the emotional and practical impact of cancer.

We remove barriers, solve problems and prioritise well-being. And we stop at nothing to make their voices heard and their unique needs understood, so they can get the right care and support at the right time.

About the role

We’re looking for a Head of Research & Evidence to join our ambitious Research, Learning & Systems Change Team. 

Young Lives vs Cancer has a strong and growing commitment to changing the system for children and young people with cancer, and their loved ones. Our North Star vision and Time is Now Strategy focus on influencing how the wider system works – from services and policy to practice on the ground – so that families get the support they need.

The Head of Research and Evidence sits in the Research, Learning & Systems Change team, within our Innovation, Policy & Systems Change Directorate. The role is responsible for ensuring our work is grounded in strong, credible and useful evidence, and that learning is actively used to shape decisions, practice and change across the system.

This is a leadership role within a small but ambitious team. You will set direction and provide thought leadership, but you will also be hands on – designing, commissioning, managing and using research alongside colleagues and partners.

Building trusted relationships and using evidence to influence thinking and action are central. You will work with colleagues, children and young people, families, and partner organisations (such as the North Star Cancer Collective) to learn, strengthen credibility and create change.

This role is subject to a Criminal Record Check. In the event of a successful application, a Basic Criminal Record Check will be completed. A previous conviction is not necessarily a barrier to employment. We encourage qualified applicants to apply, and we will consider each case individually.

What will I be doing?

No two days are the same at Young Lives vs Cancer. So, summarising your ‘day to day’ isn’t easy. You’ll work as part of a strong internal team, collaborating closely with colleagues across the organisation and with key external partners to generate, use and apply evidence that supports learning, influence and system change. Here are some of the main things you’ll be doing, but you’ll find more details in the job description and pack:

• You’ll be setting the direction for research and learning, leading a clear and purposeful research programme focused on the psychosocial experiences of children and young people with cancer. You’ll ensure research is high‑quality, ethical and impactful, including commissioning work with partners and contributing to research funding bids.

• You’ll be understanding needs and experiences to grow a strong, credible evidence base, building and using robust evidence on need, inequality, impact and progress to inform strategy, services, policy and system change. You’ll ensure children, young people and families meaningfully shape research and that insight is shared in clear, practical ways.

• You’ll be providing system insight and leadership, analysing how the system works, identifying trends and pressures, and using evidence to guide where change is most needed. You’ll build trusted relationships across the voluntary sector, NHS and research community, sharing learning and strengthening our credibility and influence.

• You’ll be turning learning into action and influence, helping teams apply research to real‑world practice and supporting testing, learning and improvement over time. You’ll put feedback and learning loops in place and assess how research‑informed change is affecting practice and outcomes.

What do I need? 

Diverse perspectives and unique skill sets are at the heart of Young Lives vs Cancer. If you're passionate about making a positive impact and eager to learn, we encourage you to apply, even if you don't meet the criteria and person specification fully. Your potential is what matters most to us, and we’re committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment to help you develop.

The key skills we’re looking for in this role are:

• Experience leading and delivering research, including setting direction, choosing methods, commissioning or carrying out research, analysing data, and ensuring high quality and ethical practice.

• Strong research and analytical skills, with confidence working with both qualitative and quantitative data and evidence, and turning insight into practical action.

• Experience using evidence to support change, such as shaping strategy, influencing policy, improving services or supporting system change.

• Experience working across organisations, building trusted relationships with colleagues, partners, and where appropriate, children, young people and families.

• Ability to communicate complex research clearly and accessibly to different audiences, in writing and in conversation.

• A collaborative way of working, with strong people skills, curiosity and a learning mindset, and a clear commitment to equity, inclusion and anti‑oppressive practice.

What will I gain?

For people to reach their full potential, they need the right environment. As a member of Team Young Lives, you’ll be made to feel supported, valued and appreciated. Here’s how we do it:

• Flexible working: we’re open to working hours outside of 9 - 5 and we can talk through your flexibility requirements at interview stage
• Well-being, Thinking & Growth Days: four days a year to to step back from the day-to-day and focus on your own learning and development
• Generous annual leave allowance
• Great family/caring leave entitlements
• Enhanced pension
• Access to our employee savings scheme

Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging

At Young Lives vs Cancer, we recognise that opportunities for too many people remain a condition of their sex, ethnicity, class, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation – or a combination. This has never been acceptable to us as an organisation. We don’t just accept difference, we value it, celebrate it, nurture it and we thrive because of it.

We’re on a journey to be reflective of the diverse children, young people and families we support. We know we aren’t there yet, and we’re passionately committed to taking actions and making changes to be a truly diverse, inclusive and equitable organisation. This includes taking anti-oppressive action and removing barriers in our recruitment practices. Our Diversity, Inclusion, Equity and Belonging strategy will tell you more.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value AI adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to tell us about your skills and experiences in your own voice.

Accessibility

We’re committed to providing reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and we’ll always aim to be as accommodating as possible. Please let us know in your application form of any adjustments or access requirements we could make to help you with the application process and interview.

To hear more about this role, please sign up to one of our informal drop in sessions taking place at 12:30pm on Tuesday 26th May and 17:30pm on Monday 01st June.

Introduction

This is an exciting opportunity to join RSPB Cymru and lead delivery of the Caletwr Catchment Integrated Natural Resources Scheme (INRS), funded by the Welsh Government, in Conwy, North Wales.

Working closely with a cluster of farmers and a wide range of strategic partners, the project will demonstrate how sustainable farming and food production can deliver significant benefits for nature and natural resources. It directly supports key RSPB Cymru priorities, including peatland restoration and Curlew conservation.

A central focus of the role is establishing effective, joined-up advice and support for farmers engaging with the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), helping to shape delivery at both farm and landscape scale.

About the role

As INRS Project Manager, you will provide overall leadership, coordination and delivery of the Caletwr Catchment Project. You will establish robust governance, manage budgets and resources, and ensure delivery remains focused on agreed priorities and outcomes.

Strong partnership working is essential. You will work closely with the farmer cluster and key partners including Natural Resources Wales, Eryri National Park Authority, The National Trust and other advisory bodies.

You will provide strategic direction and day-to-day support to the Farm Support Specialist and project team, ensuring effective delivery of joined-up advice and coordination to achieve landscape-scale objectives such as Curlew recovery.

You will also oversee knowledge transfer, engagement and demonstration activities, including outreach to farmers beyond the immediate cluster within the wider Important Curlew Area.

Key responsibilities

As Project Manager, you will:

• Structure delivery into clear work packages with defined milestones and manage the project budget against forecast.
• Take overall responsibility for progress, performance and use of resources, initiating corrective action where needed.
• Produce accurate and timely project management documentation, including reports and financial claims.
• Lead procurement and oversee contractors.
• Provide leadership, support and clear direction to the Farm Support Specialist and project team.
• Contribute directly to advisory or practical delivery where appropriate, including site visits, farmer meetings, demonstrations or priority actions.

Project outputs and wider responsibilities

You will ensure:

• Effective collaboration between farmers, RSPB colleagues and external advisers to deliver objectives through the SFS and mechanisms such as Farming Connect.
• Regular communication and engagement with decision-makers and stakeholders, including Welsh Government and statutory agencies.
• Development of a credible legacy plan with partners to sustain and scale delivery beyond the project lifetime (e.g. via the SFS Collaborative Layer).
• A well-managed project close, including final reporting, follow-on actions, and clear communication of outcomes and lessons learned.

Essential skills, knowledge and experience

• Strong financial management skills and attention to detail.
• Experience working within a structured project management framework (e.g. PRINCE2 or equivalent).
• Experience delivering complex, multi-partner projects.
• Proven leadership and influencing skills without direct line management authority.
• Ability to produce clear, concise written communications for diverse audiences.
• Strong facilitation, negotiation and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent organisational and time-management ability.
• Degree-level qualification in a relevant subject or equivalent experience.

Desirable skills, knowledge and experience

• Experience turning conservation evidence, policy or agri-environment schemes into effective delivery.
• Knowledge of Welsh farming, agricultural systems and rural culture.
• Ability to communicate in Welsh, spoken and written.

• Experience building partnerships and engaging external stakeholders

• Experience recruiting, supporting, or managing volunteers or community leaders
