About us

Carers UK is the national charity for unpaid carers. With more than 5.8 million carers in the UK today, we exist to make life better for those who provide unpaid care to family and friends. Through our information and advice services, peer support network, and campaigning for change, we are here for carers when they need us most.

You’ll be joining our Income Generation and Communications team - an ambitious and supportive department where collaboration, innovation and learning are at the heart of what we do. Together, we’re growing sustainable income to ensure unpaid carers across the UK get the support they need and deserve.

About the role

We’re looking for a proactive and organised Nations Trusts and Foundations Officer to help us grow and strengthen our funding from charitable trusts and foundations - specifically those supporting our work in Carers Scotland, Carers Wales, and Carers Northern Ireland.

This is a key role that directly supports policy influence and service delivery across the nations by securing flexible, budget-relieving grants. You’ll be responsible for researching funders, developing compelling applications, and building strong relationships with a range of national and regional trusts. You’ll also work closely with our teams in each nation to stay connected to their priorities and help translate their vital work into fundable and fund-winning cases for support.

It’s an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to deepen their expertise in trust fundraising while contributing to lasting change for unpaid carers.

About you

You’ll have experience of writing successful trust funding applications and will feel confident asking for grants of five figures or more. You enjoy writing clearly and persuasively, and you’re good at building positive relationships with funders over time.

You’re organised and reliable, able to manage a busy workload and keep on top of deadlines. You pay close attention to detail and take pride in producing accurate work, especially when reporting back to funders.
You’re someone who works well with others. You’ll enjoy talking to our teams in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to understand what they need and how funding can help. You’re curious, committed, and care about making a difference to people’s lives.

It’s helpful if you already understand the charity landscape in the nations or the challenges unpaid carers face, but it’s not essential. Most important is that you bring a positive, thoughtful approach and are ready to learn.

At Carers UK we want our application process to be as accessible as possible. If you need any adjustments to apply please email us to discuss.

The closing date for applications is 12pm, Monday 29 September 2025.

Your New Company

Hays Senior Finance is proud to be exclusively partnering with Royal Star & Garter on a multi-role finance recruitment campaign.

For over a century, Royal Star & Garter has provided exceptional care for men and women who have served in the UK’s Armed Forces and now live with disability or dementia. Their mission is to help beneficiaries live life to the fullest. They have a well-earned reputation for outstanding care and consistently set the highest standards across all their services. Significant investment has gone into creating state-of-the-art care homes. As an ethical, historic, and socially responsible employer, this is a rare opportunity to join an organisation with a meaningful purpose—enhancing the lives of many. Based in smart, welcoming yet professional offices in Twickenham, you’ll join a passionate team committed to making a difference. You’ll be responsible for business partnering with, and travelling to, three state-of-the-art care homes, notably in High Wycombe. Earlier this year, they merged with Care for Veterans, adding a fourth home in Worthing.  Royal Star & Garter is an employer of choice, offering hybrid working (2–3 days in the office), excellent training, and strong career development opportunities. Reporting to a supportive and passionate Director of Finance, this is a unique opportunity to join an organisation embarking on the next exciting phase of its journey.

Your New Role

As Head of Finance (12-month contract), you’ll take on a varied and pivotal role within the organisation. You’ll lead a dedicated finance team, helping to deliver outstanding services to residents, their families, staff, and governors. Your responsibilities will include leading the team, fostering a business partnering culture, overseeing accounting systems, ensuring compliance and financial controls, and delivering timely management information, analysis, and reporting. You’ll also deputise for the Director of Finance and attend Board meetings as required. A key part of the role will be mentoring and developing the team. This is an exciting time to contribute to projects, improve processes and procedures, and help integrate the fourth home into the Royal Star & Garter family. Key duties include financial control, budget management, income and expenditure oversight, and statutory compliance. You’ll also be responsible for managing the accounting systems and leading the team’s development.

What You’ll Need to Succeed

You’ll be an ambitious and passionate finance leader with excellent communication skills and a respectful, hands-on approach. Charity sector experience is essential, as you’ll be mentoring, training, and developing the existing team. You’ll be a qualified accountant (ACA, CIMA, ACCA) with experience in team management, business partnering, and financial control. Most importantly, you’ll have a genuine desire to make a difference and contribute to a greater purpose in your career.

What You’ll Get in Return

You’ll have the opportunity to work for a meaningful employer that positively impacts many lives, within a supportive and friendly environment. The salary package offers up to £85,000 per annum, with a pension scheme (employer contribution 7.5%, employee 5%), 25 days’ holiday, life insurance at three times your salary, and sick pay. You’ll be part of a culture that values learning and development.

Are you a values-led senior leader who believes in the power of dialogue and community?

We're thrilled to be partnering with NFS Mediation, a well-established and highly respected conflict resolution charity, to recruit their new Chief Executive Officer.

This is an opportunity to lead an organisation whose mission is all about bringing people together during some of the most difficult times in their lives, helping them to find a way forward, repair relationships, and rebuild communities.

About NFS Mediation

Since 1997, NFS Mediation has been providing independent, and confidential mediation and conflict resolution services. Their work spans community mediation, restorative justice, hoarding interventions using cognitive behavioural approaches, and anti-social behaviour (ASB) assessments.

They now run one of the largest county-wide mediation services in England, operating as a values-driven organisation committed to building stronger, safer, more cohesive communities.

About the role

As Chief Executive Officer, you'll play a key role in shaping the future of the organisation, holding the strategic vision, leading a dedicated and highly experienced staff and volunteer team, and maintaining strong relationships with external partners and commissioners.

You'll:

• Develop and implement strategic plans and budgets, reporting to the Board
• Secure and retain funding through contracts and partnerships
• Lead, inspire and support the senior management and staff team
• Ensure the delivery and continuous improvement of high-quality mediation services

About you

You'll be a compassionate, values-led leader who understands how to bring people with you. You'll also be comfortable navigating both strategic oversight and operational leadership.

We're particularly keen to hear from candidates with:

• Proven senior leadership experience, ideally within the charity or voluntary sector
• A strong track record in service delivery and team development
• Financial management experience, including budgeting and reporting
• Emotional intelligence, resilience, and a collaborative leadership style

Experience in mediation, restorative justice, or conflict resolution is welcome but not essential. What matters most is a commitment to NFS Mediation's mission, values and community-led approach.

If this sounds like the next step in your leadership journey, we'd love to hear from you. Please send your CV or profile to Ellen Drummond at Charity People as the next step.

We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.

We are looking for a Community Development Worker to join the team, supporting the Edgbaston Neighbourhood Network Scheme.

The Role

Neighbourhood Network Schemes (NNS) are responsible for building community capacity and developing a clear view of the existing community infrastructure and then building connections between assets, statutory organisations and local people. Edgbaston is one of 10 designated Localities in Birmingham. The purpose of NNS is to ensure that citizens over 50 and adults with additional needs can access community support, improving their wellbeing and quality of life. This is achieved through identifying, supporting and developing the community offer provided by individuals, groups, organisations, services and places in the constituency (we often refer to these collectively as “assets”).

Having moved on from the initial phase which was to map the area and build relationships this is now a role that is more about maintaining those relationships and increasing the capacity of these assets.  However, there will always be a need to promote the NNS to new audiences and ensure knowledge of the area remains current so the role will continue to include developing networks and stakeholder engagement.

• Stakeholder Engagement
• Community Development
• Training and Promotion
• Administrative Duties
