Introduction

Christian Aid is a faith-based organisation, set up by British and Irish churches in the aftermath of the Second World War so that they “could respond to Christ's command to care for all in need”. Our commitment is to eradicate extreme poverty, dismantle its root causes and enable the voice and agency of the poor and marginalised to be fully realised.

This is a pivotal moment to join Christian Aid at a challenging time in the world where suffering and increasing inequality have become the norm. We have a new global strategy “Standing Together” which is built around our analytical framework: poverty, power and prophetic voice underpinned by operational excellence in all we do. When people come together with shared energy and inspiration, as they do at Christian Aid, they can accomplish amazing things. If you share our mission and vision and would like to join us, then please get in touch. Thank you for your interest in Christian Aid.

About Christian Aid

We believe that the world can and must be transformed so that everyone can experience life in all its fullness, free from poverty and injustice.

For over 70 years, Christian Aid has successfully provided support to meet the social, economic and humanitarian needs of the most vulnerable and marginalised. We have always understood that we must work in partnership and stand together with local actors to provide practical, long-term support. We believe this is the way to achieve sustainable development and help affected communities to be free from want and fear.

We work in 37 countries, with around 500 local, national and international partners. Our involvement in 150 humanitarian projects in 26 countries enabled us to reach over one million people in 2017/18. We spent over £95 million on our charitable activities in the same time period.

Our mission in today's world: Our analysis of the world points clearly to a global economic system that is hardwired to increase inequality and injustice. A rise in social and political intolerance is increasing gender inequality and reducing people's agency—their power over their own lives. Climate change chaos and ongoing conflicts cause further vulnerabilities.

There is an intergovernmental global consensus to 'leave noone behind'. But without a major change in practice, political will and resource commitment, at least 800 million people will still be living in extreme poverty by 2030, half of them in low-income and fragile countries.

We remain convinced that poverty is political. It is not an accident. It is caused by human structures and systems. We understand that to achieve lasting solutions, we must address three factors together: poverty, power, and people's ability to speak against and remove injustices. We are therefore committed to eradicating extreme poverty, dismantling its root causes across the world, and enabling the voice and agency of the poor and marginalised to be fully realised. Together with our incredible network of supporters, we will respond with unwavering boldness and courage.

About the role: The Transition Executive role is designed to provide excellent support to the FSE Director and Senior Management Team, as well as co-ordinate and support a critical change process for the department.

This role will build important partnerships, communicating with a range of internal and external stakeholders. Be expected to steward our resources, ensuring best value for money and efficiency. And be responsible for delivering results, as well as striving for continual improvement in our processes.

This is the perfect opportunity for someone looking to make a difference during an exciting time of change within Christian Aid and play a key role in the smooth and efficient management of a busy and forward-looking department.

About you: You are an excellent communicator with outstanding organisational, planning and time-management skills, able to handle a wide and varied workload. Your experience in delivering similar busy and varied roles, ideally in the Charity/Not for Profit sector, stands you in good stead for this position. You are comfortable taking the initiative and being proactive in identifying and delivering support needs. You relish solving problems and designing new solutions. You have a very high level of accuracy and attention to detail, able to consider different aspects and impacts of decisions made. You are focussed on meeting deadlines, whilst being able to manage expectations of colleagues. Your ability to engage and build excellent relationships with a range of internal and external stakeholders will be key to your success. You will enjoy taking a flexible approach to your work and be comfortable operating in a busy and dynamic environment.

This role requires applicants to have the right to work in the country where this position is based. We value diversity and aspire to reflect this in its workforce.

Stand Alone is the only UK organisation supporting people who are estranged from family or a key family member. We are excited to have received National Lottery Community Fund funding to expand our regional work through developing a volunteer-led model.

We're looking for a strategically-minded team player to come on board 3 days per week, and lead the design and successful execution of this exciting new direction of work for the organisation. 

We are a young charity, working with people who are experiencing family estrangement or disownment. In our six years as a registered charity, we have developed research, influenced policy and have created specialised support for those who have an estranged relationship with their family or key family member. Our support services currently operate in five areas of the UK and we are shortly expanding into Scotland.

Breaking down isolation, stigma and encouraging social inclusion is at the heart of our constitution, and our support groups often bring together people who feel they are the only person without a supportive or loving family network to rely on. More specifically, issues connected to divorce, honour based violence, forced marriage and family rejection of LGBTQI+ are common in our community.

About the role…

The charity has a committed following of beneficiaries who are impacted by the issue of family estrangement. We’re looking for a dynamic and independent Project Manager to develop and implement a volunteering strategy to build a network of local groups, utilising and growing our active base of supporters. These groups will plan their supportive activities and will eventually fundraise to become financially self-sustaining.

You will be taking our volunteer project from inception to realisation, developing a unique model of expansion, and building relationships with those who are engaged in our work and who want to offer their time.

You will be creating a structure through which volunteers can engage with the charity, initially in London and Sheffield, with a view to expanding into further areas across the UK over time. With the help of the board of Trustees, you will ensure strong governance and safeguarding procedures are in place.

You will be joining our small, part-time team 3 days per week (0.6FT). The contract is for 2 years initially with the capacity to extend for a further year dependent on the development of the project.

About you….

You will have built a long-term, person-centred project, and have a proven ability to engage volunteers into activities and/or projects. A strong knowledge and understanding of models of volunteering and engagement is vital, as is a strong understanding of community fundraising as a tool for local sustainability.   

You will be a team player with an open, communicative approach that is suited to a small team. Yet we are seeking a candidate that’s able to handle an independent workload confidently, and who is able to assert their experience to build a project. You will be looking for a new challenge and a project to call your own. 

This is an exciting juncture for the charity, and we are looking for someone who can come on board and own that moment. 

How to Apply

We recommend that you visit the Stand Alone website before applying to understand more about our mission and vision, and we will be looking to see this reflected in your covering letter. 

To apply, please send an up to date CV and a cover letter addressing the person specification and key experience on no more than two pages of A4. If you do not wish to apply online via Charity Job, you may apply by sending these documents in the post to: Stand Alone, 34b York Way, N1 9AB.

Applications without a cover letter will not be considered.
