Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust (RGHT) was formed in May 2014, to strengthen the management of important historic buildings and community assets in the Royal Borough.

Our purpose is to advance people’s understanding of the history and heritage of the Royal Borough of Greenwich and surrounding area; to conserve the heritage assets in the trust’s care and ensure that these assets – buildings and landscape, collections and archives – and the history of the Royal Borough are shared with as many people as possible. Our regular activities include learning and participation – formal and informal history and heritage learning activities (in reach and outreach); visitor services – public access to Charlton House, exhibitions and events; care of heritage assets – working with partners to manage the assets in our care; and working with volunteers.

In this role, you will use your skills to develop new audiences to celebrate the heritage assets in the care of the trust. You will understand audiences commercially, as well as from a cultural sector perspective and be able to work closely with a diverse stakeholder community, including trustees and external consultants.

As part of our leadership team you will drive strategic change, identifying programme opportunities and growing our audiences using your understanding of audience data collection and evaluation.

You will create new projects and lead a team to successfully deliver events such as the National Lottery Heritage Funded project, ‘Meet the Collections’, generating commercial and charitable income. The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate previous experience in a programming role and success having created innovative and popular programmes with cross-platform activities, for example, events, conferences and exhibitions.

Are you inspired by church architecture? Are you fascinated by the history of churches and want them to remain part of our heritage and a vital part of community life? Are you experienced in assessing funding applications and supporting historic buildings to be well maintained and sustainable?

As the independent, UK-wide charity supporting churches, chapels and meeting houses of all Christian denominations, the National Churches Trust supports and promotes church buildings of historic, architectural and community value by inspiring support, preserving heritage and promoting sustainability. Our aims are to help maintain the UK’s heritage of church buildings and to enhance their ability to serve local communities; to promote the benefit to communities of church buildings and to inspire everyone to value and enjoy them.

Grant funding is at the heart of our work. The Trust allocates in the region of £1.2m of funds across Cornerstone, Gateway, Foundation and Micro-grant grant schemes annually. The grants team is also responsible for recommendations to a number of trusts and foundations each year. Another priority for the Trust is developing new projects to help churches become sustainable and well maintained, and our partnership work, such as with local churches trusts, funders and other organisations.

The opportunity has arisen for a new Church Support Officer to join our Church Support team. The post-holder will assist with assessment and administration for our grant programmes and have the necessary knowledge and skills to implement robust management and maintenance schemes which will assist with the sustainability of churches. You will have excellent organisational and planning skills, be able to manage a varied workload and be an effective team player, based from our office in London.

Applications are welcome both from new graduates as well as more experienced applicants. This is a full-time, fixed term contract for twelve months with the possibility of extension.

Do you have the drive and coordination skills to lead programmes that have a positive impact on global peace and the lives of others? 

UWC is a global movement that strives for global peace and sustainability. Through our 18 schools across four continents we provide an educational experience like no other for tomorrow’s changemakers, irrespective of their background or financial means. 

Supported by 155 mostly volunteer-led national committees, and a vast array of complex stakeholders and partners, our programmes provide multiple paths through which those who dare to dream can explore the UWC experience. This takes coordination, organisation and dedication. That’s where the role of Senior Officer, Programmes, comes in. Is that person you?

Steer the programmes and support the people that prompt a more peaceful and sustainable world

Job Title: Senior Officer, Programmes [Maternity Cover]

Basis of Appointment: Full Time (38.5 hours)

Contract Length: 10 months

Reports to: Head of Programmes

Location: London

Salary:  £40,914 pro rata

Changing the world takes passion, dedication and diligence...

Isn’t it time that your passion and skills be channelled towards a career and community that genuinely changes lives?

If you...

• want to transform your own life by transforming the lives of others

• crave a career that creates opportunity for others

• desire to make dreams come true for those who never thought it possible

• know that education is the foundation from which we can change the world

• believe that today’s young people can transform tomorrow

• strive for world peace and global sustainability

• dare to dream

...then a career with UWC could be the change you need. 

UWC is a global family of schools with a powerful difference. With a shared goal of working towards global peace and sustainability, we bring together young people from around the world to study in one of our 18 schools on four continents. There they don’t just learn how to be great at passing exams. They learn how to communicate across cultural boundaries. They develop the skills to be a changemaker. They design and engage in initiatives that transform their lives and the lives of those around them for the better. And they stay a “UWC-er” for life, becoming part of a global community of over 60,000 changemakers transforming the lives of others. 

Working with us will inspire and challenge you

Driving a mission to make the UWC experience available to tomorrow’s changemakers, irrespective of their background, beliefs and economic means demands colleagues with passion and dedication, and a talent for transformation. Our students go on to become leaders in politics, NGOs, social enterprises, community movements, charities, and business. For life, they remain dedicated to the UWC mission and many of them remain in close contact with us, their school, and their peers.

Supporting a community of students, staff and volunteers who dare to dream isn’t an easy task. We thrive through the diligent co-ordination and dedication of:

• 155 mostly volunteer-led national committees who represent the UWC movement around the world. While we are one movement, our national committees each serve their own unique cultural context. Collectively they support the movement by identifying and selecting future students, supporting fundraising activity and awarding financial aid. 

• Stakeholders and partners in a range of like-minded organisations.

• A core staff - currently based in London, but also expanding to Berlin - within the UWC International Office who are responsible for advancing UWC globally, supporting the national committees, the schools and colleges, maintaining engagement with alumni and stakeholders, and driving core programmes and initiatives. 

• 18 schools and colleges in four continents, each with their own highly diverse community of students working in a challenging and life-changing environment and often living far away from home. 

• Over 60,000 alumni advocating for the UWC movement and individually working in their own way to change the lives of others. 

• External consultants and other suppliers involved in the delivery of programmes and initiatives. 

With multiple programmes that change lives could you be the Senior Officer to help us manage them?

Working to an ambitious goal such as ours takes strong organisational skills. Multiple work-streams and programmes exist to support our mission in different ways:

• The national committees give UWC a local presence in 155 countries. 

• The Global Selection Programme, introduced in 2018, provides an admissions pathway into UWC schools for suitable students who don’t require financial aid. 

• Short courses lasting one-to-three weeks are offered around the world in the Summer and Winter months, providing a taste of the UWC experience for all young people who aspire to have a positive impact on the world.

Those programmes can only flourish with the support, guidance and leadership of dedicated staff who manage the policies, processes and people involved in our programmes. That’s where you come in. 

We’re seeking a new Senior Officer, Programmes, to:

• Innovate and inspire the future development of and improvements to our International Programmes

• Build the capacity of our national committees by:

  • Developing systems and processes to support their operational activity

  • Manage the national committee fund

  • Support the opening of national committee hub offices across the globe

• Support our schools, our national committees and our International Office colleagues with our application, admissions and offers systems and policies

• Design ways to help streamline our management and implementation of UWC International Programmes

• Develop and review our policies and processes for national committees, schools and short courses

• Offer support and guidance for the short course and summer programmes

• Identify new opportunities for UWC or respond to concerns relating to existing programmes.

• Deputise for the Head of Programmes

This means that on a day-to-day basis you will:

• Manage the operational activity relating to key International Programmes, including the Global Selection Programme, the National Committee Fund, and our international short courses and summer programmes

• Support all application, admissions and offers activity irrespective of the application route the student takes

• Work with the Head of Programmes and a number of global committees and working groups that co-ordinate and guide International Programmes activity, including acting as secretary to select committees

• Review policies and processes

• Line manage two Programme Coordinators, and manage the work of consultants commissioned to work on behalf of UWC International, ensuring work is delivered on time and to the required standards and budgets

• Manage the department’s budget, supporting of the Head of Programmes

• Help welcome others into the UWC family of schools and national committees, ensuring that they familiarise themselves with relevant policies and processes, especially those relating to recruitment and admissions of students

• Advance the provision of support within schools relating to specific needs, from safeguarding to mental health and wellbeing.

As this is an exciting role that works globally and drives new activity, you’ll also be expected to travel - including overseas travel - approximately six times per year and support new initiatives and programmes that may be developed in future. 

Your knowledge, experience and determination

To achieve all of the above, you will ideally have:

• A drive to work in a transformative environment and a willingness to travel

• Experience of coordinating multiple stakeholders - including volunteers - in a complex environment, dispersed around the world and often working to conflicting deadlines

• The tact and cultural sensitivity needed to work in a global environment

Permanent

GamCare is the UK’s leading provider of advice and support to problem gamblers and their loved ones.

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and experienced Head of Programmes to strategically develop and lead on GamCare’s programme of engagement and awareness-raising projects.

After a number of successful fundraising initiatives in 2018/19, GamCare has developed several large-scale projects and significantly grown its engagement and awareness-raising activities in the past year. This growth has resulted in the formation of a Programmes Team, whose function is to deliver these varied projects coherently and consistently in line with GamCare’s mission and strategy. 

Programmes currently include two national programmes (focused on women and young people), seeking to raise awareness of gambling issues and provide outreach into communities, as well as several more developmental areas of work such as activity in the criminal justice system and with the armed forces community.  Funding is from a mixture of corporates, trusts and foundations and statutory sources.

As Head of Programmes you will lead this team with passion and energy, building commitment and driving a learning culture across it with a focus on knowledge sharing and evaluation.  You will have significant experience of project operations and oversight, including budgeting and risk management.  You will be able to think and engage strategically – ensuring projects fit into wider organisational goals, but with an operational focus, having a clear view across the projects and an eye for detail.

As the issue climbs the social, political and media agendas, it is an exciting time to join both GamCare and the gambling support sector as a whole. As Head of Programmes you will work closely with the Head of Development and Director of Development to identify and prioritise opportunities for further growth within this context. The successful candidate will be a senior leader able to communicate a clear vision and with a passion for supporting those affected by gambling harm.
