WHO WE ARE

We are Zarach, the children’s bed charity. We are on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night’s sleep and the chance to thrive at school.

In our nearly eight years as a registered charity, we’ve captured the hearts and attention of many individuals, community groups, businesses and funders who want to support us on our mission. We’ve also been given an incredible media platform from which we have raised awareness of child bed poverty at local, regional and national levels. This support and awareness has enabled us to deliver over 16,000 bed bundles to children to date. 

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

As we grow, we are looking to recruit a Fundraising and Supporter Engagement Officer to join the Fundraising team, for an initial fixed-term period of 12-months. 

As our ideal candidate, you will need to be within commuting distance of our Leeds warehouse, allowing you to travel regularly to meet with the team. This is a hybrid role based between the Leeds warehouse and home, with at least two days per week at the warehouse. Some travel to other locations may be required occasionally for events.

You will be an enthusiastic team player with strong communication and interpersonal skills. You will be organised and able to manage multiple tasks and priorities, and work to deadlines.

Alongside your related skills and experience, we’ll be looking to see that you have a genuine care for our mission and, as such, are self-motivated to do a great job and be a values-led member of our team.

Ideally, you’ll have experience of fundraising, customer-facing support, and/or events administration in the charity sector. However, charity experience is not essential if you can demonstrate an appetite and track record for continual learning and development across your working life to date.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Starting at £25,625 with progression up to £29,725 p/a

• Term: Initial fixed term of 12-months

• 28 days, plus Bank Holidays

• Healthcare Cash Plan

• Quarterly Staff Recognition Award

• A great working environment! One of our colleagues described us as- “Zarach is a wonderful place to work with the mission at the core of all that we do” 

To decide if you’d like to bring your skills and experience to bear in the pursuit of our mission, please have a look at the job description, our website and the coverage of us across social media.

Please note that we may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. Therefore, we encourage you to submit your CV and cover letter as soon as possible.

About the Role

We are looking for an experienced and motivated Senior Project Officer, working predominantly in the South London area, to lead the development and delivery of river and catchment restoration projects. You will oversee work from early concept and design stages through to physical implementation, ensuring projects are delivered on time, on budget and to a high standard. As part of our Restoring Rivers and Catchments Team, you’ll help shape ambitious, meaningful projects that benefit local rivers, wildlife and communities. Whilst you will be predominantly working on projects for the Hogsmill, Wandle, Beverley Brook and Cray rivers, you may be required to work on other projects within the wider SERT region.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and design restoration and enhancement projects using best practice and sound science.

• Lead feasibility work, secure all necessary permissions and manage stakeholder relationships.

• Oversee on-site delivery, managing contractors, volunteers and project partners.

• Ensure robust Health & Safety compliance across all project activities.

• Manage project budgets, timelines and reporting to funders.

• Mentor and manage junior colleagues, supporting their development and project delivery skills.

• Contribute to the Trust’s communications, fundraising and wider organisational goals.

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking someone with strong project management experience, confidence in leading multidisciplinary work and the ability to communicate effectively with a wide range of partners. Experience delivering physical works on site—especially with power tools or plant—is desirable but not essential. You will bring creativity, initiative and a collaborative mindset to help develop impactful environmental solutions.

About You

You are a proactive problem-solver with a passion for improving rivers and catchments. You enjoy working with others, building relationships and finding innovative ways to deliver high-quality environmental projects. You take pride in maintaining high standards, supporting colleagues and seeing projects through from concept to completion.
