Thank you for your interest in the role of F100 Project Manager for the Black Equity Organisation, Sky Future 100 Programme. BEO has recently launched in 2022, and our mission is to dismantle systemic racism in the UK.

About Resources for Autism (RfA)
We have been around since 1997, when we started as a small playgroup set up by parents dismayed at the lack of provision for their autistic children. Since then, RfA has grown into a major deliverer of services and support in London and the West Midlands with a turnover of around £2.6m per year. Our mission is to support autistic people to live happy and fulfilling lives. We want to change society’s attitude to autism whilst also providing essential services and enriching opportunities to autistic people. We are a value-driven organisation which employs value-driven people who want to make a difference. You will play a vital part in ensuring that we can resource and sustain this amazing work.
A new CEO with a strong fundraising background will join the organisation in April 2024 so you will be part of the next chapter in RfA’s story. We have strong relationships with trust funders and statutory partners, but we know we need to grow our income in other areas – can you help us to carve out that journey?
The main duties of the role will include:
Initially, you will be focusing mainly on helping to maintain our grant and trust fundraising income through bid-writing and supporting colleagues with reporting.
As the role develops, other elements of the fundraising mix will become increasingly important, in particular building up individual giving, corporate relationships and digital fundraising. You will come in at “ground level” on these initiatives, providing a unique opportunity to shape the future of fundraising in an ambitious and growing charity.
This will be a multi-faceted role where you will have considerable freedom to develop fresh ways of working. You will be playing a key part in delivering our 2024-26 fundraising strategy, which is centred around building up new income streams for RfA alongside maintaining our strong profile of grant and trust funding income.
Benefits of the role

Not only will the work you do ensure making vital differences and inspiring others, but our other benefits also include:

· access to ongoing training and progress in the areas that interest you
· access to our wellbeing initiatives and an Employee Assistance Programme

· a supportive, warm and fun working environment made up of values driven people who are passionate about changing the world for autistic people
Key Responsibilities:
As Fundraising and Philanthropy Manager, you will work closely with our Head of Fundraising to:

· Define and develop our individual giving offer and build our community of donors
· Contribute to cases for support for new corporate supporters
· Build and maintain relationships with our supporter base as it grows through regular communication and stewardship
· Liaise with service colleagues to build up a bank of inspiring case studies and stories from our work with autistic people
· Push forward the development of our digital fundraising
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of autistic people – and who will be proud to see the real impact they’re able to make.
Person Specification:

We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for our community.
As you would expect, we are a neuro-affirming employer, with a strengths and rights based approach to neurodiversity which affirms neurodivergent identity – we don’t want to “fix” or “cure” autism, and we don’t see it as a “disability”.

The Project Manager will support delivery of St James's Partnership Building Project, that seeks to lay the initial foundations of a rewarding long-term partnership between St James’s and St Pancras Churches in 2024.
Church Profiles
St James’s, Piccadilly
St James’s is a lively, inclusive, and diverse church in central London that welcomes everyone, of all faiths and none, and draws together a wide set of activities, projects, and aspirations. For over 30 years we have had a significant creative arts programme with exhibitions, major festivals and music concerts taking place across the year, as well as debates and lectures. We have a major community outreach programme to support those experiencing homelessness, mental health issues, or seeking asylum, and work actively in prison reform, training, and employment. We provide eight music scholarships every year to support the ongoing work of the church including weddings and memorial services. St James’s has also been actively engaged in environmental initiatives for many years, through its thriving Earth Justice Programme, and was the first urban church to achieve an Eco Church Gold Award. Over 40,000 people visit St James’s every month.
St Pancras, Euston Road
St Pancras Church building, designed by William Inwood was consecrated in 1822 and is Grade I listed. It is a fine Greek revival church and comprises nave, apse, north and south caryatid porches, north and south vestibules and west portico. The church is clad with Portland Stone with terracotta bands of decoration under a combination of lead and latterly a slated nave roof.
The church community has reduced during the pandemic to around 10 active members. A weekly service on Sundays at 10am attracts an average of 25 people. The musical tradition is strong with a professional choir. The church sponsors a very significant food bank provision, located in the parish. The latest quinquennial inspection noted that the building is sound, with no major urgent issues although repair of the historic and distinctive caryatids is a priority over the next 5 years.
Our Partnership
St James’s is at an important moment in its 400-year history. We’re beginning a new chapter with a £20m capital project (‘The Wren Project’), through which we aim to transform our site; making it more relevant to 21st century community needs whilst preserving and narrating its heritage honestly. This transformation is anticipated to disrupt our site for up to 24 months and therefore we will need a temporary home to deliver the full range of our liturgical, outreach, cultural and commercial activities.
St Pancras Church needs revitalisation to re-position it as the heart of its community over the next 5 years. This requires its site to be re-activated liturgically, creatively and commercially to provide sufficient enabling income to staff the space for future events; which in turn will attract more visitors to the site and present more opportunities for the church to engage with their community. It needs help to make that happen.
Given these complimentary needs, and with the conceptual and financial support of our Diocese, both churches will work together in an equal, mutually beneficial partnership,
to better meet their respective needs and fulfil their respective ambitions. The start of this process will be an initial partnership building project.
St James’s Vision
Rooted in God’s earth, we envision a just society and a creative, open-hearted church.
St James’s Values
Contemplation. Action. Adventure. Kindness. Courage.

Part-Time Case Manager – The Solicitors’ Charity
We’re looking for a part-time Case Manager to join the Wellbeing & Grants team at The Solicitors’ Charity. We are the independent charity that, since 1858, has been supporting solicitors and their dependants in times of need or crisis.
Starting Salary: c£24,000 - c£27,000, rising to c£25,000 - c£28,500 after successful completion of 6-month probationary period. These salary ranges are for 3 days/21 hours per week (core hours 10:00 to 15:00) and dependent on your location.
Flexible working arrangements are possible, including homeworking with occasional attendance in person at meetings, largely in London. Other members of the team work remotely, and we also currently have an office in Southwest London.
The Case Manager role
Working as part of a small team of fellow case managers, you’ll manage a caseload of clients looking for support from us. You’ll have conversations (via phone and email) that allow you to gather information and data so that you have a holistic view of their life circumstances and needs. Working with each client, you will design support packages that help them return to self-sufficiency and independence or will provide longer term support where this is not possible. You will have authority to decide on the awarding of many grants, whilst for others you’ll make a persuasive case to the charity’s Awards Committee of trustees and volunteers. You will ensure appropriate due diligence is carried out to underpin the stewardship of our charitable funds.
You’ll also have the opportunity of being involved in wider projects that help us to develop understanding of how effective our work is and to continue to expand the support we offer.
We’re looking for someone with a minimum of 2 years’ direct experience in a client facing role dealing with people who may be experiencing anxiety, mental or physical health problems, including those in crisis. Individuals may also have financial or career issues which they need appropriate support with. You will have at least this length of experience of having difficult conversations often with people in distress. You will also have a working knowledge of the welfare benefits system.
The successful candidate will also have the demonstrable skills and experience to:
· engage with clients in an empathetic and non-judgmental way, working with complete confidentiality & discretion.
· gather and analyse a wide, and often complicated, range of client data and information and develop recommendations for action based on the analysis.
· summarise recommendations clearly and concisely.
· Plan and organise your work to cope with periods of heavy workload and varied and changing demands.
· work on your own initiative to tight deadlines.
· work both autonomously, and collaboratively with other Wellbeing and Grants team members and more widely in the organisation.
Why should you join us at The Solicitors’ Charity?
We are a small, friendly, largely virtual organisation with an enthusiastic, skilled, and experienced workforce. We are currently concluding the development of a new strategy that will ensure we embed a holistic approach to improving the wellbeing of solicitors in need and their dependants.
Besides competitive salaries we have generous pension arrangements (up to 10% matched employer/employee contributions) and holiday entitlement (30 days plus Bank Holidays for a full-time member of the team). There is an Employee Assistance Programme and staff discounts scheme in place, and we are flexible about working arrangements (hours and location). Case Managers also receive supervision support from an external expert.
To apply please send a CV (max 2-3 pages) with a covering letter (no more than 2 pages) fully explaining how you meet the criteria set out in the job description and person specification to the email address specified.
Closing date: Your application must reach us by noon on Tuesday 2nd April. Please also address any questions to this email account.
We plan to carry out initial interviews in the week of 8th April. These may be held online. Please note, if we receive a high number of applications, we may close this advertisement early. We encourage you to complete your application as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.
