Programme specialist jobs

At the Guide Dogs our Access Assistants help our employees to live the life they choose by working as a driver and support worker to enable the person supported to carry out their duties efficiently and effectively. An Access Assistant does not fulfil the role for the individual but enables the person supported to carry out their role by supporting tasks to enable them to be successful in their role.

​

This role will include driving daily, working closely with the Habilitation Specialist. You will ideally be located within a 30-minute commute of NG9, use of vehicles will be discussed in more detail at interview. You’ll be working 22 hours per week and the majority of hours are likely to be spread across 3 days between 9am to 5pm. However, there may be some flexibility around how hours can be split, which we are happy to discuss at interview.

​

The Access Assistant will be confident when driving to new and unfamiliar locations and will possess strong written skills, including the ability to take accurate notes and keep clear records. They should be comfortable using basic IT tools such as email, word processing, and data entry programs. The role requires someone who can follow verbal instructions and work independently once tasks have been explained. Reliability and good time management are important, as is the physical ability to lift and carry items when needed.

​

Previous experience working with individuals who have physical or sensory processing access needs would be beneficial, as would familiarity with accessibility software or adapting digital and printed content. Experience supporting professional or training events may also be useful.

The successful candidate will approach their work with a calm, friendly, and respectful manner, maintaining a high level of discretion and confidentiality. They should be adaptable, open to varied tasks, and comfortable working one-to-one or in unfamiliar environments. A commitment to inclusion and accessibility, and working in a values-led way, is central to this role.​

​

No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.

At The Hospice of St Francis we believe Hospice care is fundamental for a good life - a human right, not a postcode lottery.  The work of the Hospice is vital – to the people they support, their families and to the community. Funding our future means commercial enterprise, philanthropy and sustainable trading.

The Hospice of St Francis is a charity with a powerful history and has provided outstanding hospice care for over 45 years. Rated ‘Outstanding’ by the CQC since 2016, The Hospice helps 2,000 local people and their families in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire, to live their lives well. Care is tailored to individual’s needs, supporting people recovering from life threatening illness, those living with a diagnosis that will result in premature death and support for family and friends in caring and through loss and grief. The Hospice works to deliver care, at Home, at the Hospice in the Health and Wellbeing Centre and in-patient unit.

The Hospice has invested in digital development. The Director of Media and Digital income oversees income to the value of £400k with a trajectory for growth. This includes all appeals, promotion of established products like legacy giving and matched funding programmes. The legacy pipeline was redesigned in 2024 with an award winning film “I will 1%” inspired by the work of Richard Ratcliffe. The Hospice is one of over 100 Hospices working with Hospice UK to promote legacy funding at a national and local level with a combined campaign. Investment for the future means The Hospice has a centrally managed people and systems team, this includes management of our CRM (Donify), enabling the Executive Team report on KPIs with internally triangulated data for better decision-making. The Hospice is also working with Finegreen to recruit an interim Head of Philanthropy to review the approach to philanthropy to date and make clear recommendations. A third party will deliver market research to update intelligence on current and potential markets for supporters. With innovation at its core, The Hospice has embedded ‘everyone’s a fundraiser’ into the organisational culture. This includes an embedded fundraiser in clinical services for a faster response whenever a person receiving care and support expresses an interest in becoming a fundraiser.  All of this ensures our Fundraising Directorate can now focus on ‘in real life’ or ‘in person’ fundraising, identifying and working with new cohorts of supporters, assure continued innovation in facilitating meaningful giving experiences, running high profile events to unite people behind a shared cause, challenge events and new approach to philanthropy.

As our Director of Fundraising, you will be an innovative strategic leader, a people person who combines humanity with data driven decision-making. Your role includes leading an experienced team to deliver over £2.5m in income annually and steward £1m in legacies, with the opportunity to make your own appointments to lead philanthropy. As part of the strategy of the Hospice your business case development will deliver an additional ≥£1m by 2028, in a trajectory for growth. An adept storyteller with a passion for Hospice care – you will lead strategic partnerships, working cross sector and operating effectively at Board/Committee. You will be accountable for identifying, testing and implementing fundraising approaches not typically used to date in the sector, including new philanthropy, donor advised funds and social investment models with a pipeline for delivery of new income. You will research and develop strategic alliances built on value exchange, where individuals and organisations come together to define the benefit of this collaboration and commitment to donate/invest. An accessible, visible and credible ambassador you will build networks to garner support across the community. There will be opportunities to represent the Hospice in external partnerships and projects locally and nationally.

Homeless Link are seeking a Head of Fundraising to develop our fundraising strategy and support us to achieve our goals by securing sustainable funding.

Homeless Link is the national membership charity for frontline homelessness services. We work to improve services through research, guidance and learning, and campaign for policy change that will ensure everyone has a place to call home and the support they need to keep it. Our mission is to develop, inspire, support and sustain a movement of organisations working together to achieve positive futures for people who are homeless or vulnerably housed. The Head of Fundraising will play a crucial role in helping us to achieve that mission and ensure that we have the resources available to make the biggest impact on behalf of our members. 

With budgets and funding opportunities being squeezed in both the public and charitable sectors, the competition for organisations to remain able to develop and positively support vulnerable people experiencing homelessness is getting harder and harder. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves a challenge and is motivated to make a real and lasting difference. 

We need someone who shares our values of having Ambition, Boldness, Curiosity, Diversity and Empowerment to drive forward our fundraising strategy and ensure that as a membership body we are at the forefront of ensuring valuable resources continue to strengthen and develop the sector. 

We are actively seeking to increase diversity within our organisation, and would welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness, from a black or minority ethnic background and/or with a disability.

About The Role

Each November, something special happens. The nation comes together to remember, reflect, and support and right at the heart of that is the Poppy Appeal. As the UK’s largest fundraising campaign, it means a great deal to millions. As our Senior Poppy Appeal Manager, you’ll be leading this incredible effort across half the country, with responsibility for a major regional area that’s likely to include London and either the South or Eastern side of England.

Come and be part of this national moment – The Poppy Appeal, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

This is a key leadership role with national reach. You’ll oversee a multi-million-pound income target, lead a team of around 30 staff, and support thousands of passionate volunteers across towns, cities and rural communities. Reporting into the Head of Poppy Appeal, you’ll play a central part in delivering our new strategy and ensuring the campaign continues to grow and evolve for the future.

Above all, we’re looking for someone with energy, resilience and purpose. Someone who’s excited by the chance to take on a high-profile, meaningful challenge and who’s ready to help lead the next chapter of one of the UK’s most iconic fundraising appeals. Your November will never be the same again and neither will your career. This is your chance to be part of a new chapter in the Poppy Appeal’s story.

At the Royal British Legion, we know the importance of flexibility, so we offer options like our 9-day fortnight while also considering other flexible working arrangements to suit your needs. We want you to feel supported in balancing work with life’s other joys!
