The MND Association is committed to improving care and support for people with motor neurone disease (MND), as well as their families and carers. They fund and promote research aimed at advancing understanding, treatments, and ultimately, a cure for MND. Through campaigning and raising awareness, they ensure the needs of people with MND and their carers are recognised and addressed in society.
As a Senior Policy Advisor, you will lead on policy issues related to access to treatments, including the availability of medicines, tests, technologies and care models. You’ll play a key role in analysing the MND research landscape, identifying challenges, and developing solutions. This includes creating briefings and policy positions, collaborating with internal teams, and engaging with external stakeholders such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), the Medicines and healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Department of Health and Social Care, and NHS England. You’ll also prepare briefing materials, respond to consultations, and produce policy reports.
The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of the policy environment related to access to treatments. You should have substantial experience in analysing and developing policies, with a proven track record in policy research, analysis, and advocacy. A strong knowledge of NHS structures and the UK political system, including government departments and the devolved administrations, is essential. You must possess excellent communication, negotiation, and influencing skills, with the ability to interpret complex policy issues and devise practical solutions. Strong organisational and project management skills are also required to balance priorities and meet deadlines effectively.
If you're passionate about making a difference for those affected by MND and have the skills to drive policy change, we encourage you to submit your CV at first instance.

We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the Team

The team seeks to deliver exceptional global partnerships, optimising both funding and influence. The team works closely with colleagues from across the Global Programmes and Policy, Advocacy & Campaigns Division, other Save the Children members and with Save the Children International (SCI) country and regional teams to deliver on our partnership objectives.

You will ensure effective knowledge management and capacity building for the UN Agency accounts where SCUK is the lead Account Member – including funded programmes, pipeline and influencing work. You will also contribute to the development of the wider partnership agenda with other multilateral partners that the three UN agencies work with.
In this role, you will:
• Ensure a broad-ranging and inclusive partnership. This includes:
• Contributing to the implementation of SCUK's partnerships strategy to nurture effective partnerships.

• Developing common standard approaches to quality and compliance across the account. Ensuring partner regulations and expectations are well understood among parties involved.
• Lead the development and implementation of new processes and ways of working for UN Accounts.
• Engaging with wider Save the Children in generating and sharing learning and best practices.
• Ensuring strong knowledge management systems are in place.
About you

• Experience, interest and knowledge of current thinking and future trends and thorough understanding of international development issues.
• Proven experience of providing creative and innovative approaches in developing new initiatives that contribute towards partnership objectives.
• Experience of implementing change initiatives and in iterative adaptation of processes and ways of working.
• Experience of influencing and delivering results cross organisationally within a large complex global organisation.
• Strong project management skills and ideally an understanding of project design, quality programming and effective delivery.

• Excellent coordination and relationship building skills in forming and maintaining both internal and external relationships.
• Strong analytical skills with ability to present complex information in a clear and succinct manner, ability to analyse trends and report on key financial metrics.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including senior level briefings and presentations, both for internal and external audiences with appropriate attention to detail.
• Ability to deal with competing demands, work well under pressure and maintain fruitful collaboration with a large range of stakeholders.
• It would be advantageous to have experience of working with or for UN agencies and/or multilateral partners on programmes and partnerships with NGOs.

Ways of Working:

This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance (SCAA) exists so nobody in Scotland suffers or dies because medical help cannot get there in time.
People can get sick or have accidents anywhere and anytime. But in Scotland there are places where urgent medical help cannot reach people. Or help gets there too late. And when lives are at risk every minute matters.
As a charity we rely on donations from the Scottish public, companies and communities to ensure that urgent medical help gets to the patient when it is needed, wherever they are and at whatever time of day.
SCAA is seeking to appoint an experienced, qualified, professional Finance Manager with strong analytical skills, capable of producing and presenting financial information in a succinct and straightforward manner. The preferred candidate will have experience of producing management accounts and other management information relating to organisational performance, cashflow, investment reporting and budget analysis.
Excellent analytical, interpersonal and communication skills are essential. The appointed individual will be expected to liaise effectively with colleagues, Executive Team Members, Trustees and other colleagues within the Charity. They will also develop and strengthen relationships with banks, insurers, investment managers, auditors and other professionals. The person will be expected to produce and present a range of financial information, query and challenge any unusual and misleading information and to support his/her colleagues in the office as required to further the objectives of the charity.
This is a growing charity, and you will have a broad remit, and we are looking for a fully Qualified Accountant holding a CA, ACCA, CIMA, ACA or equivalent membership with experience ideally gained in charity accounting, external reporting and internal management accounting.
The successful candidate is likely to be operating in a similar role in the Private, Public or Third sectors and looking for a new challenge.
