Organisational Background
The Council for At-Risk Academics is a UK-registered charity founded in 1933 under the leadership of William Beveridge, to rescue academics suffering persecution under the rise of Nazism and facilitate their continued work in safety. Sixteen Cara Fellows from the 1930s and 1940s became Nobel Laureates, and many more innovators in their fields, including, Nikolaus Pevsner, Lise Meitner and Karl Popper. A number of Cara’s founders and Council members also personally provided places and/or funds to help individual academics; and Cara, known in the 1930s as the AAC, later the SPSL, was closely involved in the successful effort in 1933 to bring to London the Warburg Institute art library, which had been prohibited by the Nazis, and six of its staff. The Fellowship Programme is the continuation of the rescue mission operation started in 1933.
Cara has been a lifeline to academics at risk for over 90 years, as and when world events have placed them in the line of fire: Hungarian Uprising, Cold War, Apartheid South Africa, Iran, Latin American Juntas, Vietnam, Kosovo, DRC, Rwanda, Sudan, Zimbabwe etc. and, more recently Iraq, Turkey, Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Afghanistan and Ukraine. Cara support is typically framed as temporary sanctuary offered at times of heightened risk.
Cara Objectives ‘To assist academics who have been, or are, or are at risk of being, subject to discrimination, persecution, suffering or violence on account of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion, to relieve needs among them and their dependants and ensure that their specialist knowledge and abilities can continue to be used for the benefit of the public.’
‘To advance education by supporting academics and their educational institutions in countries where their continuing work is at risk or compromised, to ensure that such academics and institutions can continue to fulfil their critical role as educators for the public benefit.’
This is a critical time to join our dedicated and friendly Fellowship Programme team as we expand our capacity to support at-risk academics from the Middle East, Sudan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Russia and many other countries.

Contract: Full-time, permanent
Ovarian Cancer Action, the UK’s leading ovarian cancer research charity, is seeking an ambitious and strategic leader who can drive sustainable income growth and build high‑value partnerships and relationships that can change the lives of thousands of women and their families.
Ovarian cancer hasn’t seen the scientific breakthroughs that some other cancers have, with survival rates that haven’t changed meaningfully in decades. Ovarian Cancer Action is working to address this, with an urgent mission that by 2032 at least half of women in the UK with ovarian cancer live for 10 years. To realise that goal, the charity is carrying out world-class scientific progress in prevention, early detection and treatment, funding more ovarian cancer research than any other gynaecological cancer charity in the UK.
This is an exciting time to be joining the charity, and the Director of Fundraising will play a key role capitalising on the huge potential of the charity’s current work to transform survival of ovarian cancer, including the possibility of a preventative vaccine this decade.
This is a senior leadership position responsible for driving OCA’s fundraising ambition and accelerating income growth, managing the development and delivery of an insight‑driven fundraising strategy and identifying major opportunities across mass fundraising, philanthropy, partnerships and influential networks. The post-holder will be responsible for personally cultivating and securing high‑value relationships with major donors, trusts, foundations and strategic partners, and leading and developing a high-performing fundraising team to secure significant multi‑year gifts and leverage milestone organisational moments to unlock transformational support.
The successful candidate will be a senior fundraising leader with a strong track record of securing significant 5‑ and 6‑figure gifts, partnerships and multi‑year commitments. You’ll bring deep experience managing high‑level philanthropic relationships and a track record of inspiring leadership, building high-performing teams. Strength in CRM systems, data‑driven pipeline management and cross‑organisational collaboration is essential, as is exceptional communication and influencing ability.
On a personal level, you will thrive in a mission‑driven and fast-paced environment, bringing strategic insight and an entrepreneurial, optimistic and solutions‑focused approach to life. You will be energised by opportunity, resilient in the face of challenge, and comfortable testing, learning and innovating. Above all, you’ll be motivated by improving women’s health and committed to aligning fundraising ambition with organisational strategy and research impact.
Please download our Candidate Pack for further information [PDF], which includes details on how to apply.
Closing date: Monday 2nd March 9.00am.
PLEASE NOTE: We will be longlisting applications as soon as we receive them, so please apply early to register your interest.

Youth Financial Education Development Lead
Are you passionate about helping young people understand money in helping young people explore how money works and what matters to them? The Just Finance Foundation (JFF) is looking for a Youth Financial Education Development Lead to lead the creation of a core youth financial education offer for 14–18-year-olds. You will design, pilot and refine a train-the-trainer approach that empowers youth workers to deliver learning that is engaging, relevant, and rooted in real life.
You’ll work closely with teams across JFF including Financial Education, Impact & Insights, Communications and Fundraising to develop a programme that is robust, consistent, and adaptable for different audiences, locations, delivery settings and funder requirements. This is a leadership-focused role: you will own the project, guide its development, and shape its impact.
What this role is — and is not
This role is:
• A project leadership role with clear ownership and accountability
• Focused on learning, testing and development
• Centred on internal collaboration across teams
• Engaging, interactive and grounded in real life
This role is not:
• A role focused mainly on direct delivery
• A high-volume external partnership role
• A one-off workshop facilitation role
• A people-management position
Who we’re looking for
• Experienced in youth, education, community or related settings
• Comfortable leading a design project and working collaboratively across teams
• Skilled in designing or supporting learning or training for adults
• Confident facilitating and reflecting on practice, using evidence to adapt approaches
• Organised, proactive and able to work independently
• Eligible for an enhanced DBS
Desirable experience: financial education, financial capability, youth work, and contributing insight to evaluation or funding proposals.
Why JFF?
At JFF, we are committed to making financial education an everyday part of growing up. We value curiosity, collaboration and practical innovation. If you’re excited to lead a project that could shape how young people learn about money across the UK, we’d love to hear from you.
To apply:
Apply today with your CV and a short covering note outlining your experience in youth programme development and community engagement, and how you would approach designing a train-the-trainer programme for young people.
Closing date: no later than 9:00am Monday 16th February 2026.

We are looking for two experienced Health Information Editors with strong writing and editing skills and a background in producing evidence-based health information.
The role requires confidence working within Patient Information Forum (PIF) accredited processes, communicating complex information in Plain English and adapting content for different audiences and formats. It also involves working closely with clinicians and people with arthritis to review and improve information, ensuring it is accurate, accessible and inclusive.
The posts sit within the Health Information Team in the Services and Devolved Nations directorate. The team produces trusted print and digital information to support people at all stages of their arthritis journey, and this role plays an important part in maintaining its quality, relevance and accessibility.
About the role
This role offers the chance to work on information that has real reach and significance, supporting people with arthritis at moments when clear, trustworthy guidance matters most. It suits someone who enjoys balancing editorial judgement with empathy and who wants to see the wider impact of their work beyond the page.
You will be part of a supportive Health Information Team within a values-led organisation that supports flexible working, with opportunities to collaborate widely, develop your skills and contribute to how health information continues to evolve.
About you
We are seeking applicants who have the following skills and experience:
- Experience of working within Patient Information Forum (PIF) accredited health information production and review processes.
- Strong background in writing, editing and reviewing health information for public audiences.
- Ability to communicate complex health information clearly and accurately using Plain English principles.
