Research has given us life-saving kidney transplants, dialysis machines that filter the blood when the kidneys fail, and drugs to keep us going. But these treatments come at a cost. They can be gruelling, confining, relentless. A transplant is not a cure, they rarely last a lifetime.

Kidney disease still affects three million people in the UK. And one million of those don’t know they are at risk. That’s three million people who are someone’s parents, grandparents, children, friends.

And kidney failure is rising, as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes and obesity.

That’s why their work is more essential than ever.

Research is what they do. It is the only way to discover future preventions, treatments and cures. It is vital to keep their loved ones safe. Your support is crucial to make this happen.

They're here to be heard, to make a difference, to change the future. Kidney disease ends here.

About us
Our vision is to ensure that the 99,000 children and young people with life-shortening conditions in the UK have lives that are as fulfilling as possible.

Unfortunately, more and more families are suffering through their family’s short life and they are suffering alone.

Together for Short Lives cannot save a child’s life but we can save a family from a lifetime of suffering.

We work with families and the brilliant people and services that support them in hospitals, in children’s hospices and in the community – to ensure no family has to suffer through their child’s short life alone and can instead treasure every moment they have together.

About the role
We are recruiting for a Corporate Partnerships Manager to join our Fundraising team. The Corporate Partnerships Team manage partnerships with nationwide, high profile companies that raise vital funds for our direct work with families, and on behalf of the UK’s 54 children’s hospices, many of whom are currently pushed to their limits.

Part of a small team, you will manage and develop a portfolio of long-term relationships with a select group of strategically important corporate partners, including three household names. These award-winning partnerships raise significant income for Together for Short Lives – as such you’ll be an outstanding account manager, excited to lead on projects from the get-go and motivated to achieve success on behalf of the children and families we support.

We have recently developed a new fundraising strategy, a new fundraising brand and secured investment to develop our corporate fundraising. Our ambition is to grow our corporate support and secure more strategic partnerships, both long-term and high value. The Corporate Partnerships Manager will play a vital role in ensuring that both current and new partners are passionate about fundraising, committed to changing children’s lives, and aware of how incredibly valuable their support is.

We are reasonably flexible on location. Ideally you will be able to spend two days a week in Bristol with the team; as the Corporate Partnerships Manager looks after relationships with nationwide companies, a willingness to travel across the UK is required. What is crucial is that you have the experience, knowledge and above all the desire to deliver outstanding partnerships that will raise significant income and help ensure all children and families get the support they need.

About Lumos

Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by children’s author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’ mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.  Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families. 

Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention, and opportunities they need to thrive. We have made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care.  Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children.  We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.

Over the past 15 years Lumos has worked directly in different countries around the world to demonstrate that it is possible to change systems of care and fulfil children’s rights.  Building on our heritage and direct experience of systems reform, our new strategy focuses on sharing learning with others to reach more children and amplify the impacts of our work on children’s lives. 

During the past year, Lumos has carried out three major reviews:  a culture review; a governance review; and an organisational review. Action plans have been developed to implement the recommendations of these reviews, providing strong foundations for our strategy for 2021-23.  To support the implementation of the new strategy Lumos are seeking to recruit a Chief Executive Officer, a Global Director of Fundraising and Engagement and a Global Director of Systems Change.

There is a high level of commitment from trustees and staff to the change programme and to delivery of our bold new strategy and plans for the next phase of Lumos’ development. Our new strategy for 2021-2023 has three priorities:

Building Global Expertise: We will use our knowledge and experience to support those responsible for reforming care systems in their own countries. This will include providing technical support, evidence, and guidance to help design and run better care systems, as well as learning exchanges where they can share experiences and challenges.

Catalysing Change: We will use evidence to motivate and press governments to reform the way they care for children. This will involve leading targeted research and advocacy campaigns to identify and tackle the drivers of institutionalisation, promoting accountability by tracking and highlighting progress, and influencing international funding, programmes, and policy.

Demonstrating & Innovating: Building on our heritage of successful programmes showing how care systems can be reformed, we will use what we have learnt in the past to support partners with their own reform efforts. Over the next two years, as we complete our current country demonstration work in Eastern Europe, we’ll identify programmes in new regions – building expertise and evidence of what good care reform looks like in new and challenging contexts, particularly for those children that typically get left behind.
