Social welfare jobs

Charity Operations Manager

 £50,536, plus a generous benefits package. 

About us

AWF was established from a legacy left to the British Veterinary Association (BVA) in 1983 and was set up as an independent charity to directly support the veterinary profession, promote best practice and drive improvements in animal welfare

We are seeking an experienced charity manager to coordinate and manage the activity of the BVA Animal Welfare Foundation (AWF), which places animal welfare at the forefront of veterinary knowledge via research, education and debate.

You will have a strong track record of working with a Board of Trustees and associated committees on the successful implementation of a charity strategy, alongside an ability to lead on the implementation of a focused fundraising strategy.

The ideal candidate will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and strong organisational skills, including the ability to prioritise, and work to strict deadlines. Alongside experience of a variety of fundraising activities, event planning, and knowledge of charity governance, this new role represents an exciting opportunity to optimise the unique partnership with BVA and build strategic relationships with key stakeholders to raise the profile of AWF.

Currently there are no direct line management responsibilities but as the charity develops it is likely that line management responsibilities will become part of this role. The role will also involve working closely with BVA’s policy and public affairs, media and campaigns, and marketing and events teams.

This role is pivotal to AWF and will have a lasting impact on the charity. 

Benefits

· Annual leave allowance of 25 days (excluding public holidays), increasing by one day per year up to a maximum of 30 days.

· One day paid wellbeing day per year to provide you with dedicated time to focus on your own mental and physical wellbeing.

· One day paid leave per year to undertake voluntary work within the community or to support any reasonable charitable institution or cause.

· Enrolment into a pension scheme provided by Aviva (Employer = 6.5% / Employee = 5%).
