BACKGROUND

An exciting opportunity has come up within this young, dynamic charity to play a key role in helping Dallaglio RugbyWorks achieve its growth plans.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks is a long-term intensive skills development programme, based on the values of rugby, delivered to young people in alternative provision. The goal? To ensure they achieve sustained education, employment or training.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks was founded by Lawrence Dallaglio OBE, former England Rugby and Wasps Captain.  Having experienced a troubled time in his youth after the death of his sister, Lawrence found rugby, which he credits for helping overcome a very turbulent time in his life.  Lawrence recognised the power that rugby had in transforming his attitude, behaviour and aspirations and channelled that power into the development of RugbyWorks.

Dallaglio RugbyWorks works with teenagers from chaotic backgrounds with high levels of social risk factors such as troubled families, criminality and unemployment.  They have much lower success rates in education and employment compared to their peers.  RugbyWorks is designed to help these young people onto a positive pathway to achieve sustained education, employment or training with a particular focus on exposing them to various vocational opportunities. 

We are looking for a Part-Time Trust and Foundations Manager to join the fundraising team, and are looking for someone who shares our passion for helping young people; not afraid to be hands on and happy for each day to be different from the last and also shares our values:

• We Will Be Brave
• We Will Nurture a Family Spirit
• We Will Proactively Adapt
• Always Aiming Higher

Working for the NHS offers a fantastic benefits package, including a generous pension, agenda for change pay progression, 27 days leave plus bank holidays and flexible working.

Seeking a strong writer with a passion for social change and economic justice international development and fighting inequality to fill a newly created position.  The Institutional Fundraising Manager will help shape a fundraising strategy aligned with PWYP’s global strategy – Vision 2025 – which lays out the roadmap towards a world where everyone benefits from their natural resources.

THE ORGANISATION

Publish What You Pay is the world’s largest network of civil society organisations working to promote transparency, citizen participation and accountability in the oil, gas and mining sectors. We work with communities in more than 40 countries, to ensure that the revenues generated by natural resource exploitation benefit all citizens, rather than a small elite. 

PWYP was established more than fifteen years ago and we have come a long way. From a handful of organisations in 2002, the network has grown to include more than 700 member organisations across the world. We are a founding member of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, the first global standard for good natural resource governance.  Our advocacy has led to milestones in accountability, such as legislation that requires major extractive companies like BP and Total to publish what they pay to governments for their natural resources. Combined, these successes have led to billions of dollars of extractive revenues to be publicly disclosed, a level of transparency that seemed unachievable just a few years ago.

Our global strategy - Vision 2025 – a people centred agenda for the extractive sector, builds on our success in securing unprecedented levels of transparency from the extractive industry, while placing more emphasis on making sure that transparency leads to broader changes that improve the lives of citizens in resource-rich countries.  It prioritises greater citizen participation in the governance of oil, gas and mineral extraction so that people can exercise their right to take part in decisions that affect them and can hold the powerful to account.  It also aims to connect to international efforts to curb poverty and promote sustainable development, redress inequality and prevent disastrous climate change.
 

PWYP’s annual budget of GBP £3 million is supported by a mix of private foundations and governmental donors, including the Open Society Foundation, the Ford Foundation, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Sigrid Rausing Trust, Luminate, the Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, DANIDA, and Cordaid. To preserve its independence, PWYP does not accept funding from oil, gas or mining companies. 

We are a small, fun and dynamic team spread across seven countries and we work with some of the most courageous transparency activists in the world. We offer an amazing working environment and the flexibility to work from home as needed with a focus on personal development.

For more information, please visit our website. PWYP members and national coalitions are all autonomous and do their own fundraising. Where opportunities arise, PWYP engages in joint fundraising with members and coalitions, usually for multi-country, regional projects. Further information about PWYP’s joint-fundraising is also available on our website.

THE POSITION

The Fundraising Manager will play a key role in leading proposal conceptualisation and writing to ensure that we capitalize on the new fundraising opportunities presented by the global strategy. In addition, she/he will help us to steward our existing donor relationships through report writing and the development of systems to ensure that we meet donor accountability requirements effectively (e.g. record keeping and tracking systems).

The Fundraising Manager will be a strong conceptual and strategic thinker and an excellent writer who will work closely with colleagues at PWYP to develop accurate, compelling and persuasive funding applications and reports for all areas of PWYP’s work. The ideal candidate will be committed to transparency, accountability and civic participation, and excel in private foundation fundraising, fundraising best practices, and team-building.  A strong plus will be a familiarity with and/or exposure to government grants (e.g. bilaterals such as DFID, SIDA and multilaterals such as the World Bank or the European Union).

- the National Schools Programme – a high-achieving unique programme partnering architects, educators and schools

- formal and informal learning – in a varied programme for learners of all ages

If you would like to learn more about this role, please do contact Theresa Samworth at The Cure Parkinson's Trust.  We request no contact from recruitment agencies or media sales.

About us

The Cure Parkinson’s Trust (CPT) is the only organisation in the UK solely dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s. We work with funders and institutional partners around the world to initiate and fund fundamental research and ground-breaking clinical trials.

Parkinson’s is a debilitating neurological condition affecting over 145,000 people in the UK and 10 million people worldwide. It is characterised by tremors, rigidity, slowness of movement and many other symptoms.  There is no cure.  The treatment of Parkinson’s has not changed significantly in over 50 years - i.e. the treatment of symptoms only - and some of the side effects of existing symptomatic treatments are as troubling as the condition itself.

CPT believes that a cure is within reach.  Numerous recent scientific advances in the field lead us to the view that it is funding, not science, which is holding up effective treatments that slow, stop or reverse the condition.  Our ground-breaking Linked Clinical Trials (LCT) program is a high-profile example (re-purposing - against Parkinson’s - existing treatments used for other conditions, based on sound biochemical evidence): many trials are underway, but there are many more to fund.

Please apply by submitting a CV and a covering letter outlining your skills and why you are suitable for this role.  Applications without a covering letter will not be considered.
