This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing charity at a crucial stage in its development. As part of our team, you’ll help shape how we fund projects, communicate their impact, and uncover unmet needs that will inform future fundraising appeals and strategic priorities.

We’re looking for someone who is flexible, proactive, and ready to get involved in a variety of tasks. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and can confidently juggle multiple priorities, we would love to hear from you.

You will oversee our Special Purpose Fund (SPF) portfolio, working closely with staff teams to help shape and deliver high-impact projects, ensuring funds are used effectively and in line with organisational priorities and guidance.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and hands-on delivery. You will lead on strengthening our grants processes and systems, and work collaboratively with colleagues across Charity Finance, Fund Advisors, Divisional Directors, and the wider team to ensure funds make a real difference where they are needed most.

A key part of this role involves working in partnership with St George’s Hospital Charity on joint funding opportunities and shared initiatives across our hospital group.

This role will deputise for the Head of Charity when required and represent the Charity across all areas, not limited to Grants. You will be ready to step up and take on broader responsibilities as needed.

Closing Date: 30 October 2025

About Us

Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future.

About the Role

Located in the heart of Machynlleth, a traditional market town in mid Wales, this shop is one of our family of vibrant and community rooted Save the Children stores.

As Store Manager, you'll lead a dedicated and diverse team of around 30 self-sufficient volunteers who are passionate about making a difference. You'll be instrumental in maintaining the shop's excellent local reputation, while also identifying opportunities for continued growth through community engagement, stock generation, and further volunteer recruitment.

With the shop open Monday to Saturday, 9.30am–4.30pm, you'll take ownership of day-to-day operations, lead by example on the shop floor, and bring fresh ideas and energy to everything from displays to fundraising initiatives.

This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.

Location & Ways of Working:

The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but at times you will be required to come to your contracted office (usually between 2–4 days per month, depending on the needs of your role, team, or service). For many roles, this is likely to be the minimum required to deliver impact.

This will be discussed and agreed with your manager / team and we encourage candidates to discuss our ways of working in more detail at interview stage.

Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.

Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion: 

Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think. 

We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
