About St Giles Trust and our Peer Advisor Programme

An ambitious, well-established charity that helps people facing adversity to find jobs, homes and the right support they need. Central to our ethos is our belief that people with first-hand experience of successfully overcoming issues such as an offending background, homelessness, addictions and gang involvement, hold the key to positive change in others. 

Our Peer Advisor Programme originated in our prison work over 18 years ago and we have since expanded it by developing a number of community-based Hubs. These Hubs develop and train Peer Advisors, linking them not only with St Giles services but also local partner organisations and enabling those with a wider range of lived experiences to benefit from the programme.

You will act as a source of advice and support to individual Hubs in delivering their allocated work and organise regular managers and practitioner events. You will also lead the set up of the work of an internal learning team and develop and oversee the creation of a Peer Research training and service. Contributing to the sustainability of individual Hubs and the Network by developing revenue generating models and helping with new funding applications are vital aspects of the role, as is sharing regular news and communications, internally and externally.

What we are looking for:

• Experience of developing frameworks to evidence hard and soft outcomes and supporting/training staff
• Experience of working on lived experience or peer models
• Project management and/or training qualification (or equivalent) would be advantageous
• Knowledge of the barriers faced by disadvantaged people in training and employment
• The ability to work in a proactive, self-motivated way whilst being a flexible and supportive team member
• An excellent communicator with strong networking, report writing, and social media skills

In return, you can expect a competitive salary, generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, childcare vouchers, season ticket loan and much more.

Do you want to make a difference in the charity sector? Are you energetic with excellent fundraising/sales experience and do you have an entrepreneurial drive and spirit?  If so, this could be your perfect role!

Sparkle are currently looking to recruit a Fundraising Manager for a truly inspiring, award winning children’s charity, based at the Serennu Children’s Centre in Newport, South Wales.  This unique, beautiful, state of the art building, just off the M4, is home to an integrated day centre for children with disabilities/developmental difficulties, providing health, social care and leisure opportunities in one location. 

Serennu is the only centre of its kind in the UK and arguably within Europe and the rest of the world and it is leading the way in terms of integrated health care for children with disabilities and developmental difficulties.

In the role of Fundraising Manager you will develop and lead the Sparkle fundraising and events strategy, build on established partnerships with key donors and focus on identifying and growing new fundraising partnerships and opportunities. Working alongside a dedicated marketing and communications manager, this is an exciting opportunity for the right person.

With a challenging but achievable annual initial income target of 200k per annum, the successful candidate will be creative, driven, dynamic, passionate and innovative. You will possess a high level of emotional intelligence, an entrepreneurial attitude to fundraising and impeccable integrity.

If you feel you are up for the challenge and possess the required skills for this role then apply now!
