The BELIEVE project
BELIEVE in Climate Action (BELIEVE) is an ambitious and innovative national programme led by the Faith & Belief Forum in partnership with the Cambridge Interfaith Programme. Together, we are building a bold new model for climate action, one that connects grassroots communities, young leaders, researchers and policymakers through collaboration, co-learning and shared purpose.

About the Faith & Belief Forum
For nearly 30 years, the Faith & Belief Forum has worked to build connected communities, a society that celebrates diversity, and to tackle faith and belief based hate, discrimination, division and polarisation.

We work in schools to build connection, understanding and empathy, in universities to build confidence, skills and connection in the next generation of interfaith leaders, and in communities to celebrate the role that faith plays in society, and pilot new, innovative approaches to tackling hate and division at the local level.
Our team is diverse, talented, sensitive, and creative. We value building meaningful connection amongst ourselves, and with our partners and stakeholders. We believe that a central solution to tackling division, polarisation and hate is connection, that is both expertly facilitated and heartfelt. In our projects this takes place through education, dialogue, social action projects, mentoring, training and development, public engagement events, and community led responses to local issues.

Why Join Us
At The Care Workers’ Charity, everything we do is focused on supporting care workers across the UK. From providing crisis grants and mental health support to campaigning for a fairer future for the workforce, our work makes a real and lasting difference to people who give so much to others every day.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a small, close-knit team at a pivotal moment in our growth. You will play a central role in shaping how we tell our story, build our supporter base and deliver events and fundraising campaigns that genuinely move the dial. Your ideas will be heard, your work will matter, and you will see the impact of what you do.
You will be joining a small, friendly and supportive team where your contribution is genuinely valued and where you will have real ownership of your work.
The Role
We are looking for an experienced, driven and creative Marketing and Events Manager who brings a genuine passion for fundraising and events — and the skills to match. This is not primarily a desk-based marketing role: you will be the engine behind our events programme and a key driver of our fundraising income.
Reporting directly to the CEO, you will lead the planning and delivery of CWC’s events calendar, manage our fundraising activities, and oversee the work of the Marketing and Events Officer. You will be equally comfortable developing the strategy and getting stuck into the detail of execution.
Events will be at the heart of what you do. You will take ownership of our flagship event, coordinate a varied programme of fundraising events, sector conferences and networking activities, and ensure every event is professionally delivered and leaves supporters feeling connected to our mission. You will manage relationships with venues, suppliers and sponsors, and keep a close eye on budgets and income targets.
Fundraising will be a core focus. You will be responsible for achieving financial targets from individual and corporate fundraising, developing creative campaigns across platforms such as Enthuse and JustGiving, and building the kind of relationships with supporters and partners that turn one-off donations into long-term engagement.
Alongside this, you will lead and support the Marketing and Events Officer, ensuring our marketing output — social media, newsletters, website content and campaigns — is consistent, engaging and aligned with our strategic goals.
About You
You will have a proven track record in events management and fundraising, ideally within the charity sector. You know what it takes to plan and deliver events from first concept through to post-event evaluation, and you understand how events can drive income as well as awareness.
You will be a confident, organised and proactive person who can manage competing priorities without losing sight of quality or deadlines. You will be comfortable working independently, managing your own workload and supporting others to manage theirs.
Our ideal candidate will have:
- A proven track record in events management, with demonstrable experience of delivering fundraising income from events
- At least two years’ experience in a charity fundraising or events role
- Experience of line managing or supervising others
- Excellent relationship-building skills with sponsors, corporate partners and individual supporters
- Confidence using fundraising platforms (e.g. Enthuse, JustGiving) and CRM/database systems (Hubspot experience an advantage)
- Strong working knowledge of social media platforms, email marketing tools and website content management
- Experience managing budgets, monitoring income and expenditure, and reporting on financial performance
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- High attention to detail and strong project management skills
- Genuine enthusiasm for the charity’s mission and the people we support
Knowledge of the health and social care sector would be a distinct advantage, though not essential.
We Offer
- A salary between £32,000 and £34,000 per annum
- 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
- A flexible, remote-working environment — you must be based in England
- A friendly, supportive team culture where your contribution is genuinely valued
- The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of care workers across the UK
If you are ready to bring your events and fundraising expertise to a cause that really matters, we would love to hear from you.
We envision a world where care workers are recognised as skilled professionals who are valued, supported, respected and resourced to be in a strong po

Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.
Contract: Fixed term contract - secondment opportunity until 31 March 2027, with the possibility of extension
About the role
CTI is part of a housing-led response to ending homelessness. CTI is an evidence-based model, designed for times of transition for people who require support to navigate often fragmented systems. It uses a time limited case management approach to support people through a period of transition which works towards preventing and ending homelessness.
The model is strictly time limited and prescriptive in its application and Crisis’ CTI pilot will run close to the CTI principles. The timing of movement through the phases is defined by the Programme model.
CTI consists of four main phases:
- Pre CTI: in which the relationship with the client is developed and their goals and ambitions are identified, (no timescale – could be days, months or years)
- Transition: providing support & beginning to connect client to people and agencies that will assume the primary role of support and enable them to meet their goals (3 months)
- Try out: monitoring and strengthening support network and client’s skills (3 months)
- Transfer of care: terminating CTI and stepping right back (3 months)
The post holder will be working within the framework of CTI, supporting prison leavers from prison into accommodation, thus preventing homelessness on release from custody.
About you
To be successful in this role you will have experience of delivering person centred support with statutory and non-statutory services within the criminal justice system, offering coaching and mentoring, learning support and/or personal development training, ideally working to matrix standards. You will also have an appreciation of delivering this within a time limited framework.
You will demonstrate knowledge of issues affecting homeless or vulnerably housed individuals which could include mental illness, addiction, the benefit system and housing. Being committed to empowering homeless and vulnerably housed individuals is essential to this role.
Due to the nature of the role, it is essential that you have a valid driving licence and access to your own vehicle.

We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis
Our values, Bold, Impactful, Collaborative and Equitable, are at the heart of everything we do as we continue in our mission to end homelessness.
Our staff, members and volunteers are vital to getting the right government policies in place, providing breakthrough services, and building a supportive community. We’ll lead by example to nurture a positive and ambitious workplace guided by ending homelessness.

As the Impact and Fundraising Manager, you will work hands on with our delivery team to design data collection systems that feel manageable and purposeful, not burdensome.

You empower the team to grow their confidence in impact measurement through training, clear guidance, and being there alongside them.
You will translate the data we collect into compelling, heartfelt stories that position The Mason Foundation as best practice.

• Methodical approach to collecting data across multiple different methods, understanding what needs to be collected to showcase impact without being burdensome
• Hands on experience supporting frontline teams with data and impact collection, building their confidence and skills
• Ability to design multiple ways of collecting a uniform dataset, recognizing different thinking, processing, and working styles
• Strong storyteller who can make data heartfelt and human whilst maintaining evidence-based rigour
• Experience with traditional media engagement (press releases, media relations) and writing for sector publications
• Understanding of neuroinclusion, community development, or social impact landscapes
• Experience working with CRM systems and ability to lead exploration of accessible data tools
• Empathetic, supportive, highly organised, and self-motivated with ability to work part time hours efficiently in a remote environment
Why Join Us
In return, you get to work for an ambitious, values driven charity making a real difference in the lives of neurodivergent young people. You will have the flexibility of remote working with a flexible working pattern, 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata), opportunities to shape our impact story and professional development, and the chance to be part of a neuroinclusive workplace culture where everyone's contributions matter.

Do you want to join an organisation committed to addressing low literacy and numeracy levels amongst people in the criminal justice system?
We’ve made substantial progress in recent years, with improvements and expansions to our delivery model and significant growth in our staff team. In Spring 2026, we will launch our refreshed organisational strategy, which will shape our work over the next three years and beyond. To support this growth, we are recruiting for a full time National Director of Operations to lead our delivery across England, Wales, Northern Ireland, and emerging community settings, with an ambition to reach Scotland. This is an exciting opportunity to play a central role in scaling our impact and strengthening our presence across the criminal justice system and beyond.
As National Director of Operations, you will provide strategic and operational leadership for our learning programmes in prisons and community settings. You will ensure high‑quality, consistent and accessible delivery, overseeing a team of six Regional Managers and a wider workforce of around 65 staff, volunteers and over 2,000 peer mentors trained each year.
Working closely with senior colleagues, partner organisations and national bodies such as HMPPS, you will drive programme excellence, innovation and partnership working. You will also play a key role in new business development, operational strategy, contractual delivery and ensuring we can reliably demonstrate the impact of our work.
The role requires an experienced operational leader with a deep commitment to improving outcomes for people facing disadvantage. You will bring:
- Senior leadership experience in a complex, multi‑site environment.
- A track record of delivering large-scale programmes and leading distributed teams.
- Strong strategic thinking, problem‑solving and relationship‑building skills.

Employee benefits include a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, paid volunteering days, discounts via Reward Gateway and an Employee Assistance Programme. The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions. This role does require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
Interviews, which will be held online, are planned for the w/c 18th May.
All applications must include a CV and covering letter of no more than 2 pages which outlines your suitability for the role and how you meet the person specification.
