Individual Giving and Appeals

 - Design and deliver the charity’s first major appeals — including digital campaigns, local community drives, and postal appeals — to attract and retain individual donors.
 - Develop engaging donor journeys and opportunities for people to give regularly, locally, and meaningfully.
 
Community and Partnership Development
- Reconnect Dementia Concern with its local community through relationship-building, events, and partnerships.
 - Represent the charity externally with warmth and confidence, growing our network of local supporters, volunteers, and champions.
 - Work closely with the CEO and Trustees to build mutually beneficial partnerships with local businesses, groups, and influencers.

Prison Facilitator - Bank Staff
Shannon Trust Prison Facilitator (bank staff)
Do you want to join an organisation committed to addressing low literacy levels amongst people in prison?
Shannon Trust are delighted to be working with His Majesty’s Prison & Probation Service (HMPPS) to provide peer-led learning programmes across a number of prisons. To ensure the continuation of our programmes during times of staff absence, we are now seeking to recruit a Prison Facilitator on a bank working basis to work across the South Central region, covering HMP Aylesbury, HMP Huntercombe and HMP Bullingdon. Working closely with prisons and their staff, people in prison, Shannon Trust volunteers and mentors, this post will support with the delivery and development of our literacy and numeracy programme in the Central region, maximising opportunities for people in prison to learn to read.
Ideally you will have some experience of prison settings underpinned by the ability to build relationships quickly and personal qualities that include resilience, determination and a problem-solving approach. You will also have a willingness to travel, sometimes at short notice, to provide short or long term cover within the region including possible overnight stays.
This role will be prison-based. This is a bank role and so the number of days to be worked will vary and are not guaranteed. Employee benefits include a company contribution to pension scheme of up to 5%, 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, life insurance, discounts via Reward Gateway and an Employee Assistance Programme. The biggest benefit though is our culture – our people really want to work for the organisation.
We welcome job applications from people with lived experience of the criminal justice system and do not routinely ask for details of any criminal convictions. These roles do require prison security clearance, so we will need to ask for details of any relevant criminal convictions before an offer of employment is finalised.
Closing date: 1st December 2025
Applications for this role will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and interviews may be held before the closing date so early applications are encouraged.
