First formed in 1990, The King’s Foundation is a global charity delivering for people, places and the planet.
Inspired by His Majesty’s philosophy of Harmony, we build and support thriving, sustainable communities where people, places and the planet can coexist. We practise and teach the principles of nature that underpin food, horticulture, farming and wellbeing, showcasing this knowledge at our sustainable sites around the world. We also bring these philosophies and practices to life at heritage sites across the UK, and train and educate people of all ages to develop practical skills, rooted in nature and tradition, that help them play an active role in their communities.
Philanthropy plays a key role in the delivery of our vision and, with the support of a strong donor base, we raise c. £15M pa alongside an equally robust commercial income stream. We have enjoyed success in raising support for some significant capital projects in the last few years, and have been strengthening our case for a range of educational programmes and projects that will help us achieve our strategic objectives.

To be successful in this role, you will therefore be an experienced and entrepreneurial fundraising leader, who is equally adept at building significant philanthropic relationships as you are in meeting the operational requirements of an organisation of our size and complexity. You will bring a track record of personally cultivating significant gifts, as well as leveraging and supporting key stakeholders and volunteers to support these activities. Your international fundraising experience will be an added bonus, particularly with donors in North America.

In return, you will have the strong support of an experience Executive Team, a committed Board and Development Advisory group, and an exceptional organisation and brand to support these endeavours.

South Bank Students Union is a non-for-profit organisation, which champions social mobility through education and has a vision to disrupt the cycle of inequality in higher education.
We are looking for a Student Voice Coordinator to join our new team as we embark on a five-year strategy to transform the way we engage and support students to help them reach their full potential.
Nowhere is inequality in our education system more recognisable than in higher education, where those from the most privileged backgrounds still have the most equity and most chances to achieve and succeed.
South Bank students have high expectations and ambitions for themselves but lead complex lives where they are faced with the pressures of trying to balance their studies with work and juggling their lives at home. In fact, many don't identify primarily as students, but instead as carers, nurses, engineers, parents, designers, workers, entrepreneurs, apprentices, last chance learners and Londoners.
At South Bank Students' Union we believe that a student's background and life circumstances should not put them at an educational disadvantage, and all students deserve a high-quality University experience and the chance to graduate equipped with the tools to succeed in life - this role is at the heart of this work.
Alongside our current Student Voice Coordinator, the person in this role will be responsible for delivering the Union’s key Student Voice programmes which include: our course rep scheme; student issues tracking; focus groups and officer insight campaigns. They will also provide support for student leaders. This includes supporting the effective election, induction and ongoing development of the Union’s President, Lead Representatives and democratic processes.
We are looking for someone who can truly understand the lived experiences of those who have faced societal barriers to participation, and who is motivated by delivering work which aims to challenge and remove these norms.
Commitment to Equality, Diversity & Inclusion
SBSU’s simple vision of disrupting inequality is the heartbeat of the organisation and it is this which steers its decisions, practice, and priorities. It unifies our services, and it drives our staff to remove societal barriers so that all people can achieve their full potential.
SBSU believes that in order to truly disrupt inequality for its members, it must also strive to do this for its workforce – in short, staff must experience it in order to deliver it!
Our Union benefits enormously from having a team of staff with a range of diverse lived experiences. We understand that some life circumstances might be more complex, and that some will have had to overcome more barriers. We value the unique perspectives that are formed by an individual’s background and believe that ‘bringing your whole self to work’ is essential for informed decision making and collaboration and paves the way for high performance so we welcome applications from all, especially if your background and circumstances are traditionally under-represented in the workplace.
