About Us

The MN Association was founded in 1979. Our mission is to improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We also fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND. The Association also campaigns and raises awareness so the needs of people with MND, and everyone who cares for them, are recognised, and addressed by wider society.

We operate a hybrid working environment within a flexible office space using the latest technology and digital infrastructure. This, together with a high level of trust and performance driven culture, gives staff the freedom and flexibility to work in the best way for them, the Association and, most importantly, people with MND.

We are committed to equality and value diversity. We are working hard to remove perceived and actual barriers to participation for people with and affected by MND, current and future staff, volunteers, and stakeholders.

Important Notices

The MND Association operates a hybrid working culture and therefore we are open to discussing the possibility of variable hours, remote or home working, flexible start, and finish times etc.

Please submit your application as soon as possible; due to the high volumes of applications we receive, we reserve the right to close any adverts before the closing date once we have received sufficient applications.

Our selection process will be multi-stage; this may include video call screening, psychometric assessments, and competency-based interview/s.

We request that recruitment agencies do not contact us in relation to this role. We work hard to fill our roles directly and if assistance is required, we operate a PSL, which currently closed for review. We do not accept speculative CVs from recruitment agencies/ head-hunters.

About us and the role

We want to live in a world filled with wildlife and achieve this through pioneering community engagement and projects that work to Rewild Our Future. To us, rewilding needs to capture both the rewilding of people and nature, where we work to reconnect people to the natural world and to restore functional ecosystems through habitat restoration and species reintroductions.

We are looking for a dedicated person to lead on further expanding our income-generating offerings. The main ways we aim to do this is through corporate partnerships, memberships & donations, corporate and volunteer days out, consultancy work and by running events & conferences.

Our business initiatives all help raise revenues for us and in turn, form a vital component in creating stability for the organisation. Revenues raised through these activities are invested back into our work and projects on the ground to Rewild Our Future.

Who you are

This role is perfect for any self-starter interested in entrepreneurship, collaboration and creating purposeful partnerships, and someone who is enthusiastic about proactive action.

We are looking for someone with knowledge of how non-profits work and a love for storytelling, as this role will involve pitching Citizen Zoo to new prospects, local people and corporate partners. We are seeking a proactive, innovative and nature-loving individual with a passion for fundraising. You thrive by working independently, in an ever-changing environment that requires you to manage competing priorities amongst local, regional and organisational stakeholders.

You are results-driven and have strong relationship building skills. You have a sound understanding of fundraising and the confidence to lead on testing new ways to diversify our income, applying your experience and expertise to further our rewilding ambition. You are culturally curious and empathetic, and seek to learn from multiple local perspectives.

The Team & The Role

We’re a social enterprise with a dedicated and passionate team of rewilders, who mostly work from home. You will work as part of this remote team from home, from our future London office and within our local cabin in Kingston as needs arise. This role will work alongside our Urban Rewilding Officer and CEO to create financial sustainability for Citizen Zoo. We would be delighted to receive applications from anyone keen to work full-time or as a job share.

• Strong relationship building skills and the ability to win people over.

• Excellent communication skills.

Preferred requirements

• Experience of partnership development locally or nationally.

• Ability to speak publicly to large groups.

• Business management and coordination experience.

• Evidence of business development & partnership development with measurable outcomes.

• Full driving licence.

Location

This role is based in London, with a requirement to travel around the Capital. We are also looking at new office premises in central or east London, so a commute here on some occasions may be needed in the future.

Benefits

In return for your enthusiasm and expertise, we’ll reward you with a competitive salary and an enviable range of benefits that include 24 days holiday a year (with the option to buy more days) that rises by one day per year of service, as well as pension and life assurance.

Subsidised gym membership, social events and parties, as well as a day off for your birthday. We’re also proud to offer progressive and flexible working practices designed to give you the work-life balance you need.

Exciting times ahead
