For a world where every person forced to flee can build a better future.

We are seeking a Chief Executive Officer, to lead the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)’s new national fundraising partner, UK for UNHCR. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, the CEO will lead the new charity’s strategic development and growth in the UK, raising private sector funds and developing partnerships to support UNHCR’s global humanitarian work for refugees and displaced people.

We are seeking a dynamic and inspiring leader for this newly created role to grow the income, voice and profile of UK for UNHCR. You will be a highly credible ambassador and partnership-builder, with excellent communications skills, able to leverage influence and funding.

UNHCR, also known as the UN Refugee Agency, has the primary goal of safeguarding the rights and well-being of refugees, and displaced and stateless people. UNHCR was established in 1950, in the aftermath of the Second World War to help millions of people who had fled their homes. Today, the organisation delivers humanitarian assistance in more than 130 countries as displacement reaches a record 70 million people worldwide. By supporting host countries, seeking resettlement options in third countries and helping refugees return home voluntarily when safe to do so, UNHCR also seeks lasting solutions to their plight.

The launch of UK for UNHCR reflects the growing role of private sector fundraising and partnerships in supporting UNHCR global humanitarian operations, which are responding to unprecedented levels of displacement. UK for UNHCR is a registered charity (England & Wales).

We are Bloodwise (becoming Blood Cancer UK on 31 March), and we want to change the world for all blood cancer patients. Every year we stop more people dying of blood cancer and our researchers are even working to stop people developing blood cancer in the first place.

The Corporate Partnerships Officer is a new role which will play a crucial part in this strategy by leading on fundraising from smaller pharmas, while the Corporate Partnerships Manager invests more time in securing larger partnerships.

The role will take ownership of raising funds from smaller pharmas; from identifying prospects, writing proposals and reports, and building relationships. The role will also provide support to the Corporate Partnerships Manager in stewardship of larger partners.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication, organisation and writing skills, who is comfortable leading on and developing their own areas of work. While writing applications and reports will be a large part of the role, there is also a crucial element of relationship building with a small pipeline of both warm and cold companies. This role therefore encompasses elements of both account management and new business.

As a member of the Corporate Team within the Partnerships and Philanthropy Team, the role will lend ad hoc support to other areas of our corporate engagement, including our Med-tech, Charity of the Year and Commercial programmes.

The closing date for this exciting opportunity is:

9am on Monday 23 March 2020

Please note that all applications will be reviewed on receipt and if we appoint a successful canddidate we may bring forward the closing date of this role at our discretion.

Closing date: 15th March 2020 at 11.30pm
Interview: 23rd or 24th March 2020

Are you an experienced account manager who can engage and win people over? Someone with the confidence to build and manage strong relationships at senior level with our corporate partners? If so, this is a great opportunity to join an award-winning team as Corporate Partnerships Executive and play a key role in driving our fundraising goals forward.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve. 

Fundraising is at the heart of Shelter’s success. Indeed, between 16/17 and 19/20 our fundraising income has increased from £33 million to £45 million.

New Partnerships generates new business through a range of corporate fundraising mechanics, while the Partnership Management team, where this role is based, lead the development of long-term corporate partnerships. And, as the division as a whole continues to grow and develop, it's a truly exciting time to join us.

About the Role

This is an essential role within the team, where you will support the employee fundraising and engagement activities across our valued corporate partnerships with B&Q, HSBC and Nationwide.

Working within the Employee Engagement and Fundraising strand of the Account Management team, you will also support on managing fundraising materials and stock across your partners and provide personal and tailored support for partner employees who are fundraising for Shelter.

About you
As well as being an accomplished account manager with experience in the corporate or fundraising sector, you’re also great at managing client relationships, quickly understanding their needs and responding appropriately. You’ll be equally comfortable working at ground level with employees and at a senior level with our corporate partners, representing Shelter at meetings and gaining buy in to maximise income.

You’ve got a results-driven, collaborative approach, top notch influencing and negotiating skills, and respect others’ opinions. You’ll also have commercial awareness, lots of creativity and innovation, good time management skills and a willingness to challenge the status quo and introduce new methods, processes and ideas. Experience of using Microsoft Office applications and databases (we use Raisers Edge) is also essential.

Benefits
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

Corporate Partnerships Manager
London, SW

About Us

The National Literacy Trust is a national charity dedicated to raising literacy levels in the UK. One person in six in the UK has poor literacy skills that impact on every area of their life. A child without good reading, writing and communication skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they could be locked out of the job market. Poverty doubles the likelihood that, by the age of five, a child’s literacy skills will be below average.

The Benefits

We live in the midst of radical changes to the ways people access news and information.

When Index on Censorship was founded nearly 50 years ago, few could have foreseen the manner in which technology would now be changing the ways we engage with politics and democracy. Although the landscape of communication has changed, threats to freedom of expression remain as grave as they were 50 years ago – in the UK and around the world.

Index is looking for a resourceful and outspoken leader to steer the organisation through this changing terrain, and to protect the right for everyone to be free to express themselves without fear of harm or persecution – no matter what their views. From tackling legislative threats to digital freedom at home, to spotlighting issues of repression and censorship in China, Russia and Azerbaijan, we are seeking a Chief Executive to put free speech for everyone at the forefront of the political, campaign and news agenda.

What you will do

Index on Censorship has a small team that punches well above its weight. You will ensure the organisation is well run and enjoys a healthy office culture, strong relationships with the board and diligent financial management, so that we are well set to protect freedom of expression for another fifty years.

You will be the main outward face of Index on Censorship and build that presence on broadcast media, in the papers and on social media. You will be confident in championing the cause of freedom of expression and when explaining why it must be protected as a universal right for all, even at times when others are looking to close down conversations.

You will be an excellent fundraiser, nurturing relationships and developing philanthropic partnerships which allow us to continue our advocacy campaigns, our magazine and our projects to support freedom of expression. We have a strong board with which you will work closely, while also building your own networks, to ensure we receive the financial backing we need from private individuals, corporates and foundation trusts.

You will build Index on Censorship as both a publisher of freedom of expression and a campaign organisation – a leader in advocacy for freedom of expression, ensuring that voices are heard beyond those normally associated with our cause. Through building strong partnerships and networks you will enable us to grow our capacity to advocate for individuals and groups, including to the government.

How to apply

Send your CV and a cover letter of no more than three A4 pages outlining your suitability for the role.
