Chief Executive, Cavernoma Alliance UK
Home-based within the UK
28 hours (including some evening and occasional weekend work)
Actual salary: £35,840 to £38,079
Equivalent full-time salary: £48,000 to £51,000
Cavernoma Alliance UK is a well-established UK charity supporting people affected by cavernoma, a rare condition involving clusters of abnormal blood vessels in the brain or spinal cord.
Founded in 2005 by people with lived experience of cavernoma, we provide peer support, trusted information, awareness raising and research advocacy for the cavernoma community. We also work closely with leading neurologists, neurosurgeons and researchers across the UK to help improve clinical care, information and research for people affected.
We are now looking for a new Chief Executive to lead and be an ambassador for the work of CAUK. This is a meaningful and varied role in a small charity where your contribution will be visible. It would suit someone looking for a senior charity role with real purpose, flexibility and a close connection to the community they support.
You will be joining an organisation with a supportive Board of Trustees, a staff team that cares deeply about the community we serve, highly committed volunteers, and strong clinical and research partnerships.
We are in the second year of our five-year strategy, ‘Together For a Cure - 2025 to 2030’, and are making good progress across our priorities. The current Chief Executive is leaving after three and a half years in post to take up a new opportunity, and the charity is in a positive and stable position.
A major focus for the role over the coming years will be supporting delivery of a five-year UK-wide clinical trial starting in August 2026. This study could potentially identify the first medication treatment for cavernoma.
Alongside this, the role will focus on maintaining sustainable income, supporting high quality peer-led services through our Head of Volunteering and Member Services and volunteer team, and continuing to grow CAUK’s reach and awareness, particularly online.
We would particularly welcome applications from people with previous charity management experience, whether within a small charity or in a more senior role within a larger organisation. We are also open to applicants who can demonstrate a strong understanding of the charity sector through trustee, professional or voluntary experience.
This is a home-based role with flexibility, although there will be occasional travel across the UK, typically every 1 to 2 months, including meetings in London.
If you would like an informal conversation about the role before applying, we would be happy to arrange this with the current Chief Executive and/or Chair of Trustees.
Key dates
Applications open: 27 May 2026
Closing date: 9am, 22 June 2026
Stage 1 interviews will be held virtually during the last week of June.
Stage 2 interviews will be held in person shortly afterwards.

As Finance Officer, you’ll play a vital part in keeping Plantlife’s financial operations running smoothly and accurately.

You’re confident working with numbers, comfortable navigating different systems and able to follow established processes with accuracy and care. You can manage your own workload, stay organised and use your initiative to solve routine problems or spot when something doesn’t look quite right.
At the same time, you’re a team player who communicates clearly, asks questions when needed and enjoys working with colleagues across the organisation. You don’t need to know everything on day one—what matters most is your willingness to learn, your reliability and your enthusiasm for supporting a smooth, well‑run finance function.

Introduction
This is an exciting opportunity to join RSPB Cymru and lead delivery of the Caletwr Catchment Integrated Natural Resources Scheme (INRS), funded by the Welsh Government, in Conwy, North Wales.
Working closely with a cluster of farmers and a wide range of strategic partners, the project will demonstrate how sustainable farming and food production can deliver significant benefits for nature and natural resources. It directly supports key RSPB Cymru priorities, including peatland restoration and Curlew conservation.
A central focus of the role is establishing effective, joined-up advice and support for farmers engaging with the Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), helping to shape delivery at both farm and landscape scale.

- Produce accurate and timely project management documentation, including reports and financial claims.

- Provide leadership, support and clear direction to the Farm Support Specialist and project team.
- Contribute directly to advisory or practical delivery where appropriate, including site visits, farmer meetings, demonstrations or priority actions.
Project outputs and wider responsibilities
You will ensure:
- Effective collaboration between farmers, RSPB colleagues and external advisers to deliver objectives through the SFS and mechanisms such as Farming Connect.
- Regular communication and engagement with decision-makers and stakeholders, including Welsh Government and statutory agencies.
- Development of a credible legacy plan with partners to sustain and scale delivery beyond the project lifetime (e.g. via the SFS Collaborative Layer).
- A well-managed project close, including final reporting, follow-on actions, and clear communication of outcomes and lessons learned.
Essential skills, knowledge and experience
- Strong financial management skills and attention to detail.
- Experience working within a structured project management framework (e.g. PRINCE2 or equivalent).
- Experience delivering complex, multi-partner projects.
- Proven leadership and influencing skills without direct line management authority.
- Ability to produce clear, concise written communications for diverse audiences.
- Strong facilitation, negotiation and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent organisational and time-management ability.

Desirable skills, knowledge and experience
- Experience turning conservation evidence, policy or agri-environment schemes into effective delivery.
- Knowledge of Welsh farming, agricultural systems and rural culture.
- Ability to communicate in Welsh, spoken and written.

Are you a relationship-driven fundraiser specialising in Individual Giving, who believes in the power of faith in action to change lives?
This Fundraising Manager role is all about crafting compelling appeals and building meaningful supporter journeys, with the chance to help shape fundraising at a pivotal moment of change for Church Army.
Salary: £42,848
Contract: Permanent, full-time 37.5 hours per week, able to consider reduced hours
Location: Hybrid, either 2 days in Sheffield, or open to remote set-up if further afield
Benefits: 25 days leave plus bank holidays, 5% employer pension scheme and a range of other benefits including an Employee Assistance Programme, Death in Service and cycle-to-work
About Church Army
Church Army is a charity working across the UK and Ireland, sharing the Christian faith through words and action. They want everyone, everywhere to encounter God's love and be empowered to transform their communities, tackling social deprivation through partnership and collaboration.
Through a network of evangelists, they support marginalised and overlooked communities, including young people and those facing homelessness and addiction. They also extend their impact through a growing network of youth churches and mission hubs, creating welcoming, creative and accessible church communities where people can connect and belong.
About the role
Church Army is entering a new chapter - with fresh leadership, a developing strategy and a real opportunity for someone to help shape how fundraising and engagement looks going forward. The beauty of this reimagined role is that it's both strategic and hands-on, with chance to learn and develop, potentially adding new strings to your fundraising bow.
The role holds responsibility for individual giving, legacies and trusts fundraising, but we don't expect you to come with it all. You'll be given the time, space and tools to develop any skills and experience you don't currently have.
What we definitely need is someone with a strong foundation in Individual Giving - that means the ability to lead on campaigns and product development, as well as confidently manage pipeline planning.
You'll take creative control and responsibility for delivering effective multi-channel fundraising appeals, including key moments in the campaign calendar, such as the Christmas appeal. Using insight, storytelling and data to deepen relationships and grow income, you'll develop meaningful supporter journeys that recruit, retain and inspire generosity. Working closely with colleagues across communications, operations and programmes, you'll help strengthen collaboration across teams, ensuring day-to-day activity and processes support the shared goal of bringing Church Army's mission to life.
You'll also line manage the Individual Giving Officer, providing guidance and support, as well as supervising and supporting the Trusts Consultant and Legacy Consultant. This could be a perfect development opportunity for someone looking to build or grow their leadership experience.
About you
- You're already an experienced Individual Giving fundraiser with a passion and talent for exceptional storytelling, able to write compelling copy that inspires people to take action.
- You can demonstrate previous experience managing campaigns or projects end-to-end and feel confident working with data and insight to optimise results.
- You either already see yourself as a leader or have ambition to be one, with the potential and capability to lead by example and provide guidance and mentorships to others.
We really want to emphasise that you don't need to tick all the boxes to be considered, but you do need to be motivated to broaden your skillset and experience, with natural curiosity and a solutions-focused way of being.
Alignment with Church Army's Christian mission and feeling comfortable working in a faith-based environment where prayer and shared values are part of daily life is important. This role has an occupational requirement for the postholder to be a practising Christian.
How to Apply
If this sparks your imagination and interest, then we'd love to hear from you. Please send a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step and she'll be in touch with further details it your experience matches what we've asked for.
Deadline: 9am on Wednesday 17th June
