Make a Difference Every Day
For more than 100 years, the RAF Benevolent Fund has been supporting the RAF Family. We are a key partner in the Royal Air Force’s mission to look after its people during and after service, ensuring that this service is valued, recognised, and people are supported even when uniforms are eventually shed. We are a national charity with international reach, delivering emotional, financial and practical support wherever and whenever it is needed. Each year, our vital services and support continued to help those serving, families, veterans, and the bereaved, in 30 other countries and in 2024 more than 64,000 people benefitted from the charity’s work.
As an organisation, we encourage learning and development and there will be ample opportunity to learn more about the Royal Air Force, the broad impact of the Fund’s work as well as developing your own skillset.
About the Role
We are looking for someone to lead the Fund’s Strategic Partnerships function, developing and delivering a commercially minded, Social Value-driven partnership strategy across Defence, aerospace, engineering, technology and other aligned sectors. The postholder will secure and grow high-value, multi-year partnerships including commercial, sponsorship and Social Value opportunities that generate significant financial and organisational benefit for the RAF Family.
This role offers a rare opportunity to operate in one of the least competitive and highest-value partnership markets in UK fundraising. With Defence primes and major engineering and aerospace companies actively seeking Social Value and wellbeing partners, RAFBF is uniquely positioned to secure six- and seven-figure partnerships not typically accessible to other charities.
More than that, this is a chance to stand behind the people who stand behind the nation. Every partnership you create will translate directly into life-changing support for serving personnel, veterans and their families, from mental health and wellbeing programmes, to youth services like Airplay, to urgent practical and emotional help when families need it most.
The postholder will lead a new era of strategic collaboration, commercial innovation and sector influence, building partnerships that honour service, strengthen families and ensure no member of the RAF Family ever faces adversity alone.

Summary
This is a unique opportunity to join one of the oldest charities in the UK in a flexible, part time general managerial capacity, supporting the Trustees. The ideal candidate will have a professional qualification in accounting, property or the law and is comfortable working with professional advisers across all these disciplines. The appointment of this senior role arises by the retirement of the current incumbent, and the role offers a competitive rate which will depend on qualifications and experience.
Background
The King Henry VIII Endowed Trust, founded in 1545, holds a portfolio of c. £80m in Equities, Bonds, Land and Commercial Property, part of the Total Return from which (£2.5m in 2025) is distributed in Warwick in accordance with its Charity Commission Scheme, as follows:
· 50% Anglican churches in Warwick and Budbrooke
· 30% Warwick Schools Foundation - means tested bursaries and community activities
· 20% as grants for the “benefit of the inhabitants of Warwick”
The Trust has up to 12 trustees (4 nominated, 8 co-opted), who meet quarterly. At present, there is a Clerk & Receiver (role being renamed to COO), a deputy Clerk (who deals mainly with grants and organising meetings) and an accountant – all part-time and self-employed.
The current Clerk is retiring and is a Chartered Accountant who has held the role for 16 years, during which time the Trust has gone through a period of change. The Trust is now in a stable stage, where the priorities are managing our financial, land and property assets in order to maintain our distribution. The role is being renamed to Chief Operating Officer to better reflect the role, and would ideally remain a self-employed role.
The typical work load is likely to require about 10-15 hours per week, which fluctuates and is focused around the quarterly meeting and annual accounts. There is potential for 2 areas of land to be included in the local plan which will create additional opportunities.
Role specifics
Financial Investments
· Liaise with the investment managers (Currently: CCLA, Navera, Savills, Royal London)
· Manage any short-term deposits with HSBC
Property
· Liaise with property advisers (Margetts and Cushman & Wakefield) to manage the Trust’s property (currently an office block, a pub, a shooting range and 3 blocks of farm land)
· Oversee St Mary’s Rectory. This is owned by the Trust and is provided free of charge to the incumbent at St Mary’s, through an agreement with the Coventry Diocese.
· Ensure any property sales or leases operate within charity law.
· Where land is in the Local Plan, work with advisers and/or promoters to obtain the best commercial deal.
Charity Commission
· Manage any changes required to the Trust’s Charity Commission Schemes and Orders.
· Ensure that the Trust operates within the limitations of these Schemes and Orders.
· Annual Returns
· Manage information on Charity Commission website
Beneficiaries
· Quarterly distributions – calculation and payment
· Liaise with beneficiaries as necessary
· Prepare reports for Trustees as required (e.g. Annual Grants Report, which will include analysis of other Warwick endowed charities and Annual review of Church accounts)
General
· Deal with all correspondence
· Keep Trustees up to date
· Liaise with professional advisers
· Manage the overall office activity
· Organise meetings – including reports for meeting and minutes
· Maintain website
· Maintain records
Skill set & Experience
The role requires someone with experience of dealing with financial, legal and property issues. Coupled with good administration skills, the role requires someone who:
· Is self-reliant and used to working under their own management
· Is competent in Microsoft Office
· Has good written communication skills
· Has good interpersonal skills, to work with Trustees, other staff, advisers and beneficiaries.
Experience in the following would be beneficial, but a candidate who is keen to learn would quickly pick these up:
· Charities, including dealing with the Charity Commission
· Knowledge of Warwick and its historical heritage
The successful candidate is likely to have a professional qualification in accounting, property or the law and is comfortable working with professional advisers across all these disciplines.
The Trust’s office is currently based on the top floor of Margetts (the Trust’s agricultural advisers), where all its records are kept. Some home working would be practical.
The role has some flexibility in hours, but there will be certain times, such as Trustee meetings that are fixed. A candidate who is able to be available for some time each day would be beneficial, as often matters need to be progressed without too much delay.
Applicants should apply in writing enclosing their CV and accompanying letter to either: Chair, The King Henry VIII Endowed Trust, 12 High Street, Warwick, CV34 4AP, or by Charity Jobs online application process.
Closing date for applications is 20th February 2026

Our Second Home is the UK’s youth movement of young people with refugee backgrounds. Since 2018, we have supported over 750 young people from 53 countries to build community, develop leadership skills, and flourish into adulthood in the place they now call home.
Our work begins with transformational residential experiences, where young people form friendships, grow in confidence, and experience belonging – often for the first time since arriving in the UK. From there, many go on to take part in our Leadership Training Programme and local Youth Hubs in London and Bristol, before returning as peer leaders themselves. This cycle of engagement, growth and leadership is at the heart of our theory of change.
We are now entering a pivotal phase of our development, delivering a new 2025–2028 strategy focused on sustainable growth, deeper impact, and long-term resilience. Fundraising is central to this ambition.
The role (Read the recruitment pack for more information)
We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to act as the organisation’s operational lead for income generation. This is a part-time role (18–24 hours per week) with significant flexibility, ideal for someone who is organised, thoughtful, and motivated by building something meaningful.
The Fundraising Manager will manage and coordinate income across five strands: trusts and foundations, major donors, corporate foundations, individual and digital giving, and statutory funding. While the role has a strong trusts and foundations focus, it offers real scope to build skills and experience across a broad fundraising portfolio.
Working closely with the CEO, a highly experienced freelance Bid Writer, and the wider team, you will be responsible for developing funding pipelines, producing high-quality proposals and applications, stewarding funder relationships, and translating programme impact into compelling narratives. You will also play a key role in donor communications, reporting, CRM management, and supporting campaigns and events.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys balancing writing, relationship-building, planning and delivery – and who values doing fundraising with integrity and care.
About you
We are looking for someone with experience in fundraising (particularly trusts and foundations) or strong transferable skills such as persuasive writing, project management, or stakeholder engagement. You will be comfortable managing multiple deadlines, maintaining an organised pipeline, and working independently while staying closely connected to a small team.
You will bring strong written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build warm, professional relationships with funders and supporters. Experience using a CRM system is important, as is an understanding of – or willingness to learn about – the UK voluntary sector funding landscape.
Above all, we are looking for someone who aligns with our values: putting young people at the centre, acting with rather than for, creating opportunities for leadership, and building a culture of freedom, respect and acceptance. We warmly welcome applications from people with lived experience of the asylum system.
This is a role for someone who wants their fundraising work to be closely connected to real people, real programmes, and real change – and who is excited to help shape the next chapter of a growing, values-led organisation.

About Us
Action Village India (AVI) is a small UK based organisation that since 1989, has been supporting Indian partner organisations who work alongside villagers in some of the most remote parts of rural India so they can improve their lives, livelihoods and resilience. We work towards an India which is just, fair and inclusive, where all people regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnicity, caste, religion can benefit from the country’s economic development and lift themselves out of poverty.
At the heart of our work, are our partnerships; many of which have spanned decades. Our partner organisations are led by Indians and whether these are large or small organisations, or social movements, all work directly at the grassroots level across rural India – from Bihar and Jharkhand in the North, in Odisha and down to Tamil Nadu in the South. The communities they work with, are some of the poorest in India. They are experts in their fields and work hand in hand with local people to design and inform projects to best serve their local communities and secure rights and social justice for women, men and children.
We accompany our partners for the long term, solidarity with our partners and their communities is at the core of how we work. This means we have developed relationships over the years, based on mutual respect, reciprocity and transparency. We are not governed by donor funding cycles and agendas but are led by our partners and the needs they identify and are committed to shared learning and collaboration. We keep our UK costs to a minimum with core staff and rely on an active and engaged set of Trustees, volunteers and supporters. Both staff and Trustees of Action Village India have relationships with staff from our partner organisations, created through ongoing dialogue, partner and community visits and participation in learning forums.

We recognise that talent and potential come in many forms, and we welcome applicants with different experiences, perspectives, and ways of thinking. We are committed to providing an inclusive recruitment process and working environment, and we will make reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process. If you require any adjustments, please let us know.
