The Charity

Surfers Against Sewage (SAS) is one of the UK's leading marine conservation and campaigning charities. Our mission is simple, to Create Ocean Activists Everywhere. Our projects and campaigns inspire, unite and empower individuals and communities to take action to protect our ocean, beaches, waves and wildlife. Our vision, Thriving Ocean, Thriving People, is about connecting all humans to the ocean and creating communities of people who want to make real change happen. We support and empower people to campaign together as the authentic voice of the ocean.

The organisation was founded in 1990 and became a charity in 2013. The charity is made up of a board of 11 trustees, an executive team of 22, 200+ Regional Reps and over 100,000 active volunteers around the UK. The charity also founded and runs the only marine conservation All Party Parliamentary Group in Westminster – the Ocean Conservation APPG, bringing together a collaborative voice for ocean in Westminster.

The charity has one of the biggest community volunteer networks in the UK, with grassroots ocean activists involved in ocean conservation campaigns, beach cleans, plastic-free initiatives and fundraising initiatives around the country. In 2021, we anticipate bringing our communities back together with a focus on:

• Supporting the innovation and ongoing impact of the UK’s largest beach clean network involving 100,000 volunteers annually;
• Enhancing and expanding our award-wining Plastic Free Communities programme, reaching more diverse communities nationwide;
• Growing the Plastic Free Schools programme to reach 3,000 schools;
• Securing new partnerships to support Plastic Free Schools and Plastic Free Communities from 2023;
• Managing the collection of new supporter data from our networks – ensuring we deepen engagement with all volunteers and communities;
• Supporting the existing management team, ensure we train, protect and empower our volunteer networks appropriately.

The latest annual report and accounts can be accessed through the Charity Commission.

The Role and Opportunity

Our communities and volunteers are central to the success of our campaigns to protect and restore the ocean.  We engage millions of students and hundreds of thousands of volunteers annually, with a shared vision for our seas. Our award-winning community projects and highly experienced team now need the guidance, support and experience of a talented and driven professional to take our community impact to the next level in this Decade of the Ocean.

Our belief is that long-term systematic change comes from tackling four interlinked areas: community actions, business practices, laws and policies, and this holistic approach to change is reflected in our campaigns and projects. Effective project execution is critical, not only for our day to day delivery at SAS, but also for our longer-term success in achieving our vision of Thriving Ocean, Thriving People. 

We need someone with great project management experience, a professional who can see the bigger picture, but also can drill down and help deliver the detail when needed. You will have experience of innovating and delivering significant community-based projects. You will understand the importance of good measurement and analysis, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

You will be skilled at empowering teams to create and deliver consistently utilising project management techniques and approaches. We are a practical charity, and you will be able to roll up your sleeves, and work on tight timeframes, capacity and budgets.

Disability Rights UK (DR UK) is a charity with our office based in the Olympic Park in East London. We occupy a unique position as the only national organisation led by disabled people. 90% of our trustees have lived experience of disability, as do the majority of our staff and volunteers. We describe ourselves as ‘disabled people leading change’.

Our charitable objectives include breaking the link between poverty and disability and challenging negative perceptions in society. We work to reduce the additional barriers that disabled people face. Evidence of injustice and inequality that we gather is taken forward into our policy and campaigning work.

We offer advice and information services to disabled people and member organisations. Our website reaches one million people each year with factsheets on subjects such as welfare benefits, housing, education, transport and accessing legal advice.

DR UK runs a range of innovative projects, working with partners including other Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs), to demonstrate new approaches to disabled people’s participation. For example, we have a successful model of working with disabled people, local DPOs, social workers and Sport England to change attitudes, perceptions and practices around physical activity and wellbeing.

To underpin this vital and far-reaching work we have a plan to increase our annual income from individual giving, legacies, grant funding and corporate activity.

The role

This is an exciting time to join us. This newly created post is designed to build our digital fundraising, grow the number of individuals actively supporting DR UK and increase income from trusts and foundations. You will be asked to come up with as many effective, innovative and engaging fundraising approaches as possible to help achieve these aims.

 DR UK has continued working at full capacity during the pandemic:

• supporting disabled people contacting our helplines
• producing special Covid-19 supplements for the advice sector
• creating high level channels for feeding the experiences of disabled people into emerging national policy and practice

Motivation and communication across staff teams has never been better – being already used to remote working and having a strong unity of purpose at this time.

As our Fundraising Manager, you will have a unique opportunity to influence the design of new systems and ways of working. This will include helping shape the development of our digital strategy and the fundraising aspects of our new website, to be launched in the second half of 2021.

To fulfil this wide-ranging role, we are seeking a highly creative, determined and enthusiastic fundraising all-rounder, with the ability to lead on income generating activities, while working collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation.

You will report to and work with our Head of Business Development to make sure fundraising activities meet annual targets, raise DR UK’s profile and enhance our reputation in line with our values.

In return we offer a highly competitive salary, employer pension, flexi-working and an informal, inclusive and modern workplace within the Here East innovation zone on the edge of the London Olympic Park. There will be opportunities for training and personal development.

To apply, please send your current CV together with a cover letter, outlining why you want this job and addressing each point in the person specification.
