Leading our work with trusts and corporate partners, you’ll play an important part in protecting and restoring UK wildlife, while advancing your fundraising career in the fast-growing ‘nature and climate’ space.

The NBN Trust is a nature charity with a difference. Our mission is making data work for nature. “Data??? That’s a bit niche!”, I hear you say. And you’re right – but it’s a vitally important niche. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on Earth and, if we’re to stand any hope of fixing it, we’re going to need data. Lots of data. “What gets measured gets done”, as the saying goes. We need to understand what we’ve lost and what remains. We need to set targets for nature’s recovery. And we need to measure success as nature turns the corner and starts to make a comeback.

That’s where the NBN Trust comes in. We support the entire UK conservation movement by providing public access to the wildlife data that’s needed to make good decisions for nature. We’re a conservation charity, tech charity and people charity rolled into one – a unique combination! This gives us novel opportunities for fundraising, and we’re excited to be recruiting our first ever dedicated fundraiser, to develop and lead a programme of innovative partnerships with corporate supporters, trusts and foundations. Could this be your next career move?

Working closely with our CEO and our leadership team, you’ll be responsible for:

· Initiating, developing and maintaining high-value relationships with new and potential funders, including trusts,        foundations and corporate partners.

· Creating high-quality proposals and grant bids that address our strategic priorities.

· Managing an ambitious fundraising pipeline.

· Helping to build a strong fundraising culture and ethos across the organisation.

We’re a 100% remote-working charity, so you’ll need to be comfortable and effective working from home. The whole team meets up four times a year for in-person team meetings (in London and other locations around the UK). In this role, you’ll also travel to some face-to-face meetings and events with funders and partners.

We’re an equal opportunities and Living Wage employer. We welcome all applicants, and we're striving to create an inclusive and diverse team. If you’re interested in joining us, please see the job pack on our website and get in touch if there’s anything you’d like to ask.

Talent is everywhere, opportunity is not. The Talent Foundry (TTF), a UK education charity, bridges this gap and improves social mobility for young people in underserved schools.

Educational inequalities are vast, and the widening disadvantage gap is diminishing social mobility progress. Working with partners, including Dell Technologies, KPMG, the NHS and Network Rail we deliver industry-focused, skills workshops to enhance opportunities for young people (aged 9-18+).

Each year we impact 60,000 young people thanks to industry partnerships and their volunteers’ engagement across lightbulb moments in schools, through to intensive connections with employers.

The Programme Manager role 

Due to the expansion of our programmes we are seeking a new team member to support our next year of growth and delivery.

You will be managing and developing skills and employability programmes designed in partnership with industry. With support, from your team and colleagues, you will ensure TTF educational programmes are successfully delivered from conception to evaluation. You will work collaboratively with our corporate and industry partners to support teachers and students in schools and further education institutions.

What you will be doing

• Management of multiple projects and events
• Team management (experience of line managing direct reports)
• Use systems and administrative processes
• Building exceptional relationships with partners, teachers and volunteers
• Evaluation and reporting

Job details

• £35,000 salary (pro-rata for part time)
• Full or part time opportunity (min 4 days a week)
• Hybrid working
• 28 days holiday + bank holidays
• Training budget

And if you join our team, you can expect to recieve feedback like this from our former students: 

"I just wanted to say a big thank you for your help. Without networking with you I would not have been so prepared for it. If it wasn't for Powering Potential all those years ago I would not have developed into the person I am today. So for that, I thank you." 

Hybrid working

This is a hybrid role. You will be working from home and join Team Together Days in a co-working space in London 2-3 individual days each month. These days are considered commuting days. You do not need to live in London to apply for this role, but you will need to consider what you feel is a reasonable commuting distance for the team days in London.

About the Organisation

Stroke Association. Rebuilding lives after stroke.

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.

We believe everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.

We provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

We’re working to improve the diversity of our team.  Because we know that individuality leads to a richer experience for our people and better support for those affected by stroke.

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. And we’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke and those from under-represented communities. 

Every five minutes, stroke destroys lives. Help us rebuild them and join our team.

In 2019, we developed a bold new corporate strategy so that we can rebuild more lives after stroke and make a bigger difference to people’s lives. To help us deliver our strategy and make a real difference, we are looking to recruit talented people to a number of new roles. If you would like to support stroke survivors to rebuild their lives, we want to hear from you!
