We have been around since 1997, when we started as a small playgroup set up by parents dismayed at the lack of provision for their autistic children. Since then, RfA has grown into a major deliverer of services and support in London and the West Midlands with a turnover of around £2.6m per year. Our mission is to support autistic people to live happy and fulfilling lives. We want to change society’s attitude to autism whilst also providing essential services and enriching opportunities to autistic people. We are a value-driven organisation which employs value-driven people who want to make a difference. You will play a vital part in ensuring that we can resource and sustain this amazing work.
A new CEO with a strong fundraising background will join the organisation in April 2024 so you will be part of the next chapter in RfA’s story.

The main duties of the role will include:
Initially, you will be focusing mainly on helping to maintain our grant and trust fundraising income through bid-writing and supporting colleagues with reporting.
As the role develops, other elements of the fundraising mix will become increasingly important, in particular building up individual giving, corporate relationships and digital fundraising. You will come in at “ground level” on these initiatives, providing a unique opportunity to shape the future of fundraising in an ambitious and growing charity.
This will be a multi-faceted role where you will have considerable freedom to develop fresh ways of working. You will be playing a key part in delivering our 2024-26 fundraising strategy, which is centred around building up new income streams for RfA alongside maintaining our strong profile of grant and trust funding income.

· access to ongoing training and progress in the areas that interest you
· access to our wellbeing initiatives and an Employee Assistance Programme

As Fundraising and Philanthropy Manager, you will work closely with our Head of Fundraising to:

· Define and develop our individual giving offer and build our community of donors
· Contribute to cases for support for new corporate supporters
· Build and maintain relationships with our supporter base as it grows through regular communication and stewardship
· Liaise with service colleagues to build up a bank of inspiring case studies and stories from our work with autistic people
· Push forward the development of our digital fundraising
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who wants to make a real difference to the lives of autistic people – and who will be proud to see the real impact they’re able to make.
Person Specification:

· At least 3 years’ experience in a fundraising, philanthropy or relationship management role

We want to do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for our community.
As you would expect, we are a neuro-affirming employer, with a strengths and rights based approach to neurodiversity which affirms neurodivergent identity – we don’t want to “fix” or “cure” autism, and we don’t see it as a “disability”.

The Youth Endowment Fund
Senior Research Manager
Reports to: Head of Toolkit and Synthesis
Salary: £51,300
Contract: 2 years Fixed term
Location: Central London, Hybrid*
Closing date: 9:00am Monday 25th March 2024
Interviews: w/c 2nd April 2024
About the Youth Endowment Fund
We’re here to prevent children and young people becoming involved in violence. We do this by finding out what works and building a movement to put this knowledge into practice.
In recent years violent crime has risen significantly. Homicides, assaults, robberies and offences involving weapons have all seen growth. We have also seen increases in violent crime involving children and young people. This is a tragedy. Every child captured in these numbers is an important member of our community and society has a duty to protect them.
The Youth Endowment Fund exists to try and permanently change things. To succeed, we must build a fantastic body of knowledge about violence affecting young people and how we reduce it. This knowledge has to be both rigorous and highly relevant to those making decisions about how to support vulnerable young people. We need to find out what works and what doesn’t through evidence synthesis, data analysis and qualitative research into children’s lives. We then need to convert this into highly accessible content on what works, how delivery organisations need to change their practice and how the systems they operate in need to be reformed.
About the Toolkit team
The Toolkit team is at the heart of our efforts to learn what works and put it into practice. We do this by creating free, highly accessible research summaries and actionable recommendations for policy makers, commissioners and practitioners.
We’re a high-performing team which values intellectual rigour and getting to the truth, compassion for children, ambition about what we can achieve and humility about what we know. We love to discuss the latest developments in research methods, but we’re not just interested in research for its own sake. We want research to lead to actual changes in outcomes for children.
Our team is responsible for a range of activities, including:
- Developing the YEF’s view on the changes that need to happen and making the case for these changes in accessible reports. This could include changes to government policy, improvements to regulation and inspection, or the adoption of evidence-based interventions. For example, we recently published these recommendations on improving support for children when they are arrested. We develop our recommendations using the best available research and expert insight.
- Creating evidence-based guidance for practitioners. We summarise the research on what teachers, police officers, social workers and others can do to keep children safe. For example, we’re currently working on a guidance report for schools.
- Developing the YEF’s funding strategy across our eight focus areas. We make sure our £200m endowment is focused on the evidence gaps that matter and our decisions are based on rigorous research. We identify opportunities to fund research that will have an impact.
- Expanding a new workstream dedicated to understanding the drivers of violence and which children are the most vulnerable. We’ll fund innovative research on the causes of violence and create useful resources that make this research useful and accessible.
- Developing a new workstream of cutting-edge projects looking at how systems of support are working to keep children safe. For example, we’re funding projects examining access to psychological therapy and the role of key workers in effective agency collaboration.
- Communicating the findings from YEF-funded evaluations. We make sure that evaluation insights are accessible to all and lead to an impact on children’s lives.
Key responsibilities
The Senior Research Manager will be an essential part of the YEF team and will develop a portfolio of impactful projects.
This will involve:
- Leading the development of the YEF’s strategy in one or more of our priority areas. This could include policing, youth work, youth justice or psychological therapies. This is a great opportunity to influence large amounts of funding and direct it towards the most impactful projects.
- You’ll become the YEF’s expert in this area. You’ll make sure we understand the key issues, stay on top of the latest research and are connected to the right people.
- You’ll set the YEF’s research agenda for this topic. You’ll make sure we invest in research that fills important gaps in knowledge and leads to important changes. You’ll ensure that our strategy and decision-making are informed by the best available research.
- You’ll develop great relationships with experts and represent YEF in external meetings and events. You’ll promote evidence-based policy and practice by speaking at conferences and events.
- You’ll lead the development of evidence-based recommendations in your focus area. You’ll draw on research and expert insight to identify potential changes. You’ll design and develop innovative and impactful resources which support the application of your recommendations.
- You’ll work with our Change team to identify opportunities for our recommendations to influence policy and practice, and bring about positive changes that will keep children safe.
About you
You are this sort of person:

About upReach
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects? We don't.
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential. Simply getting a degree is still not enough and a student from a disadvantaged background who gains a first-class degree from a top university is less likely to secure an elite job than a more privileged student with a 2.2.
We are an award-winning charity driven to address this issue in partnership with employers and universities. We help undergraduates from lower socio-economic backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing a personalised programme of support, empowering young people and overcoming barriers to graduate employment.
