War Child’s mission is to reach, protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of every child living in conflict zones. They want a world that is safer for children to live in. Very sadly, at the moment, 1 in 5 children are living in or fleeing from conflict – that number is too high, and War Child wants to change it.

War Child is looking for an experienced fundraising leader to step into a key senior leadership role during a year of real momentum.

As Interim Director of Philanthropy and Partner Engagement, you’ll lead a high-performing team of around 15, covering major donors, principal giving, trusts and foundations, institutional funding, corporate partnerships, and gaming.

You’ll report to the CEO and sit on the Senior Leadership Team, with shared responsibility for income generation, strategic planning, and organisational leadership. This is an opportunity to guide a strong team through its next phase of growth, support exciting developments already underway, and help shape the future of War Child’s fundraising.

We’re looking for a confident, strategic leader with experience at director level, or someone ready to step up from a senior head role in a complex organisation.

• Significant experience in corporate partnerships, with the ability to develop strategy, support senior fundraisers and identify long-term opportunities

• A strategic mindset, with hands-on involvement in planning, budgeting, forecasting and performance reporting
• A collaborative, emotionally intelligent leadership style that combines high challenge with high support

• The confidence to represent War Child with major donors, partners, and senior stakeholders, both internally and externally

About You:

You’re an experienced leader with a track record of delivering impact in complex environments. You bring strong strategic thinking, excellent communication skills, and a collaborative approach. While you don’t need to identify as LGBT+, you must have a deep understanding of the challenges faced by LGBT+ communities and a commitment to equity and inclusion.

Why Join Us?

This is a rare opportunity to lead a respected organisation through its 25th year and beyond. You’ll be part of a team that’s passionate about making a real difference in the lives of LGBT+ children, young people, and their families.

About Allsorts

Allsorts' mission is to listen to, connect, and support children and young people under the age of 26 who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans (LGBT+), or exploring their sexual orientation and/or gender identity. 

By placing young people’s voices at the centre of our work and consultations, we ensure that our understanding of their ongoing and evolving needs continues to inform our service provision.

There are three main strands to our service provision, all of which approach things from slightly different angles, but are all in service of improving the lives of LGBT+ children and young people.

Youth Service

We offer youth groups, one-to-one support, activities, residentials, in-school support, and much more for children and young people.

Parents & Carers Service.

We offer groups, one-to-one support, activities, information sessions, and much more for parents & carers of LGBT+ children and young people

Training Service

Join a dynamic, growing charity that inspires children in disadvantaged communities to grow, cook, and enjoy healthy food. We’re seeking an experienced Programme Manager and child-led educator to lead our national Food Discovery team, ensuring high-quality delivery, strategic growth, and strong advocacy for food education.

You’ll manage a dispersed team, oversee recruitment, training, budgeting, and evaluation, and build partnerships with schools, funders, and sector networks. The role demands excellent leadership, communication, and organisational skills, with the ability to travel nationally.

Requirements:

• Proven leadership and programme management experience, ideally in education, community engagement, or food education.
• Strong understanding of safeguarding, health & safety, and working with primary school-aged children.
• Skilled communicator, relationship-builder, and advocate.
• Commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

About The Country Trust

The Country Trust believes every child should discover first-hand the connections between the food they eat, their own health and the health of the planet. We are the UK’s leading educational charity on a mission to connect children with the land that sustains us all.

When we don’t understand where food comes from, how it’s grown, or have the chance to spend time outdoors, there’s a significant knock-on effect for our health and the environment. Through nearly 50 years of programme delivery, we know children facing disadvantage often have the most to gain from this connection but are least able to access it.

Through food, farming and countryside experiences, our mission is to empower children to be confident, curious, and create change in their lives and the world around them — so that they and society thrive.

Are you a skilled policy professional ready to take the lead on major policy initiatives and influence change at the highest levels? Do you combine policy expertise with the ability to inspire, motivate, and deliver results?

We have an exciting opportunity for a Policy Manager to lead a portfolio of work that shapes our influencing agenda across England, Wales and Northern Ireland. In this pivotal role, you will drive forward high-profile projects, developing policy that makes a tangible difference to the lives of people living with and affected by motor neurone disease (MND).

Working closely with colleagues in Campaigns and Public Affairs, you will ensure our voice and the voice of the MND Community is heard. You will identify and develop strong policy positions, engage with key decision-makers, and navigate health and social policy structures to achieve meaningful change. Your proactive, solutions-focused approach will help turn ideas into impact.

We're looking for someone confident in taking a position, inspiring a team, and influencing policy from concept through to delivery. This is an excellent opportunity for you to shape policy, build influential relationships, and deliver improvements that matter most to those living with and affected by MND.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the development of policy, research and analysis to strengthen the Association's position in key debates.
• Analyse public policy to identify barriers and develop practical solutions for campaigns, briefings and submissions.
• Write and oversee the production of high-quality policy papers, reports and speeches.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with policymakers, government, academics and other sector stakeholders.
• Co-ordinate updates on policy developments for internal teams and share information in accessible formats.
• Represent the Association at meetings, seminars and conferences.
• Line manage a team of three Policy Advisers, providing effective supervision and clear objectives.
• Organise policy-related consultations and events.

About You:

• Strong knowledge of UK political systems, including government departments, Westminster and devolved nations.
• Excellent communication, negotiation and influencing skills.
• Skilled in planning and managing multiple projects to tight deadlines.
• Proven track record in outcome-focused policy development and analysis.
• Confident in interpreting complex issues and presenting them clearly.
• Collaborative team player who can also work independently.
• Experience of managing staff or external consultants.
• Willingness to travel within the UK, with occasional evening or weekend work.

About Us:

Our vision is a world free from MND. Our mission is to improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND. The Association also campaigns and raises awareness so the needs of people with MND, and everyone who cares for them, are recognised, and addressed by wider society.

What We Offer:

• 28 days holiday, increasing to 33 days after 5 years, plus Bank Holidays.
• Access to UK Healthcare, including dental, eyecare, health screenings, and therapies.
• 24/7 GP access via phone and video.
• Life assurance and confidential counselling helplines.
