Help shape the future of our National Parks

Campaign for National Parks is the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks across England and Wales. Born from a social movement 75 years ago, their roots lie in protest and activism, with the earliest campaigns helping secure the creation of our National Parks. Today, they continue to challenge decision-makers, influence national policy and bring people together to achieve the vision of nature-rich National Parks for everyone.

They are now entering their next phase of work and are seeking 2-3 new Trustees to strengthen the Board, support effective succession planning and bring new perspectives and experiences to their leadership. This is an opportunity to help shape the direction of a respected and influential campaigning charity with a national identity and outlook.

2. You may bring experience from a corporate, commercial, or charity background. You might have experience of developing sustainable income, or making informed decisions about investment, opportunity and risk.

3. We are also looking for a strategic fundraiser who may bring experience of individual giving, major donor fundraising, philanthropy, supporter development or income-generation strategy. You will provide informed challenge and guidance, help strengthen our fundraising proposition and support the organisation to build sustainable relationships.

We are particularly interested in candidates who bring:

Do you enjoy turning compelling ideas into well-crafted funding applications that sustain meaningful mission?

International Mission to Jewish People is a faith-driven organisation with a nearly 200-year history of sharing the Good News of Jesus with Jewish people across the UK, Israel, the USA, and beyond. As International Mission to Jewish People continues into a new season of opportunity and responsibility, the organisation is strengthening its fundraising team to ensure vital mission work is sustained and resourced for the future.

We’re partnering with International Mission to Jewish People to recruit a thoughtful and proactive Trusts and Foundations Officer to focus on securing income from trusts and foundations in the UK and internationally, with a particular focus on US foundations, and to support International Mission to Jewish People’s major donor work. This is a hands-on role, well suited to someone who enjoys producing high-quality written work, managing a varied funding pipeline, and stewarding relationships with care and integrity.

Working closely with the Head of Fundraising and Communications, the CEO and colleagues across the organisation, you’ll play a key role in researching opportunities, developing compelling funding applications, and clearly communicating the impact of International Mission to Jewish People’s work. You’ll be joining a small, committed team, supporting mission activity that is sensitive, international in scope, and rooted in prayer, compassion, and faithfulness.

We are looking for someone who can:

• Research and develop a strong pipeline of trust and foundation funding opportunities in the UK and US
• Write clear, compelling, and well-evidenced funding applications and reports
• Build and steward positive relationships with trust and foundation funders
• Manage multiple deadlines with accuracy, organisation, and attention to detail
• Work collaboratively with colleagues to gather information, budgets, and impact data
• Provide research and administrative support for major donor work, alongside the Head of Fundraising and Communications and the CEO

Applications should include a CV and supporting statement. Please see the candidate pack for full details.

All applicants must be wholeheartedly committed to the aims, ethos, and values of International Mission to Jewish People. This post is subject to an Occupational Requirement that the post holder is a practising Christian, under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

Role details

• Location: Hybrid, office-based in Eynsham, Oxfordshire, with flexibility to work from home
• Hours: 35 hours per week (open to exploring part-time)
• Salary: £35,000 per annum depending on experience, plus excellent benefits including 8% employer pension contribution and health plan

Closing date: 16 November 2026
First stage interviews with IMJP (online): w/c 23 November
Second stage interviews (in-person): w/c 30 November

Picture a campfire on a CPAS Venture holiday; a group of teenagers, away from home for the first time in years, roasting marshmallows with leaders most of them met three days ago. They’re there because, somewhere along the way, someone decided they could trust CPAS with their child. That trust, repeated thousands of times a year, across parishes and residential holidays and leadership training, is what this Trustee role exists to protect.

CPAS has been carrying the gospel to local churches since 1836, and today that means supporting the appointment of clergy in over 700 parishes, training church leaders at every level, and running Venture and Falcon holidays where 8 to 18 year-olds explore life with Jesus, often away from their families for the first time. It’s a genuinely influential position in the life of the UK church, and the safeguarding of the young people and vulnerable adults in CPAS’s care sits underneath all of it.

This isn’t a hands-on safeguarding job, day-to-day casework stays with the CEO and Safeguarding Manager, but it is a serious one. You’ll make sure safeguarding has proper space on the Board’s agenda, not just a standing item nobody interrogates. You’ll review whether CPAS’s policies are actually keeping people safe, not just filed away. And when something goes wrong, an allegation against a staff member or volunteer, a case that might need reporting, you’re one of the people in the room helping CPAS respond with both care and rigour. 

Alongside that, you’ll carry the full responsibilities of any CPAS Trustee: six Board meetings a year, mostly a mix of video call and in-person in London or Coventry, including one overnight residential, plus two further safeguarding committee meetings, reading minutes, and being available for occasional consultation between times. CPAS will train you for it, and pair you with a buddy trustee as you find your feet.

We’re looking for a committed, practising Christian, who brings safeguarding experience, sound judgment with the confidence to ask hard questions of senior staff, and a genuine understanding of what good safeguarding governance looks like. CPAS is particularly keen to hear from younger and more diverse trustees who can bring fresh insight to the Board.

Your application should include a comprehensive CV and a supporting statement of no more than two pages, describing any potential conflicts of interest.

Role details:

• Safeguarding Trustee (Lead Trustee for Safeguarding)
• Board meets in London and Coventry, plus one annual residential
• Voluntary, expenses (including childcare) reimbursed

Closing date: 10 December 2026
First stage interviews: w/c 4 January 2027 (online)
Second stage interviews: w/c 11 January 2027 (in person)

We welcome and encourage expressions of interest from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion*, sexual orientation, age, veteran status or other category protected by law.

* This post carries a genuine requirement: the postholder must be a committed, practising Christian who fully supports the mission of CPAS.

CMS already has individuals and trusts giving multi-year funding at significant levels. What it doesn’t have, yet, is someone leading that work. That’s this role.

Location: Hybrid, Oxford (minimum 2 days a week at CMS House)
Key benefits: Up to 10% pension, 36 days of annual and bank holiday leave plus other benefits

This is a new position, created because CMS believes there’s considerably more philanthropic income available to fund its mission, and the building blocks, real relationships, real multi-year gifts, are already in place. You won’t be starting from nothing, but you will be building the strategy as you go; developing CMS’s first dedicated philanthropy approach alongside the Director of Fundraising and Communications, while simultaneously delivering against a genuinely ambitious income growth plan.

You’ll lead a team of four, a trusts and key relationships lead, a major donor and trusts officer, a copywriter and a supporter care and events officer, and hold your own caseload of major donor relationships, leading high-value meetings and negotiating five- and six-figure gifts for CMS’s work in the UK and overseas. 

You’ll have strategic oversight of the trusts and foundations portfolio, build a stewardship framework worthy of CMS’s most significant supporters, and work closely with colleagues across fundraising, communications and finance to make sure the whole organisation is pulling in the same direction behind this.

You’ll need a proven major gifts track record, real experience generating income from philanthropic relationships, and genuine comfort negotiating with senior figures and high-net-worth donors. You’ll also need to be a committed, practising Christian who is fully aligned with CMS’s values and aims, comfortable with regular UK travel including evenings and weekends, and up to two weeks of international travel a year to reach trusts and donors based overseas.

Applications should include your CV and a supporting statement. Please see the candidate pack for full details.

• Lead and grow Feba's church engagement programme, creating opportunities for more churches and supporters to discover and support the ministry.
• Recruit, equip and encourage volunteers to become passionate advocates for Feba and its global ministry.
• Create compelling resources and communications that inspire prayer, generosity and deeper engagement with God's work around the world.
• Work alongside the Supporter Communications Officer to create engaging resources and stories that inspire churches to pray, give and partner with Feba's ministry.

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a warm, Christ-centred team where daily prayer and shared reflection are part of the rhythm of work, and where the charity, from top to bottom, is ready to support you every step of the way.

• 28 days' annual leave plus bank holidays (pro rata)

Mid-level donor fundraising role, building a programme of supporter relationships to help defeat leprosy and transform lives.

The Leprosy Mission Great Britain (TLMGB) is the world's largest leprosy-focused charity, working in nine countries across Africa and Asia to defeat leprosy and transform lives. Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with leprosy. There is a cure, but without prompt treatment the disease causes permanent disability, and the stigma attached to it means people are often rejected by those closest to them.

We are looking for a warm, relationship-focused Partnerships Advisor to join TLMGB’s Fundraising Team. Reporting to the Partnerships Manager, you will build and nurture relationships with mid-level donors giving £700-£2,000 annually, inspiring them to deepen their engagement with TLMGB’s mission and the impact of their support.

In this role, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Shape and grow a mid-level donor programme, helping to deliver fundraising goals and enabling more people affected by leprosy to receive support and care.
• Build meaningful, faith-filled relationships with supporters, getting to know them personally through regular conversations, encouraging them in their generosity, and praying with them as part of their journey with TLMGB.
• Bring inspiring stories of transformation to life, crafting compelling appeals, impact reports and supporter communications that connect donors with the people and communities they are helping to reach.
• Identify opportunities to deepen supporter engagement, researching current and prospective donors to understand their interests, passions and potential for greater partnership with the ministry.

You'll ideally bring at least two years' experience in fundraising, or a commercial background in sales, key account management or a customer-facing role.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a Christ-centred, welcoming and supportive team that loves working together. TLMGB has a strong culture of learning and development, offering extensive training in fundraising and international development, and the opportunity to join a field visit overseas to meet some of the people your work serves. The charity is proud of its award-winning levels of staff engagement and has been recognised with Charity Times and Third Sector awards.

Bible Society is inviting applications for three new Trustees, ahead of a deliberate, staged transition in its governance.

The current Treasurer and the current Chair of the People & Remuneration Committee both have around two years left in post. Rather than wait until those seats fall vacant, the Board is appointing their successors now; each will join as a Trustee, serve on the relevant committee, and shadow the outgoing chair over a planned transition before formally taking on the role. It is a considered approach to succession, and a rare opportunity to learn a 200-year-old charity's governance at a proper pace before assuming responsibility for one of these areas.

The third appointment, a Trustee with expertise in digital, AI and innovation is also required, to help the Board make wise, confident and ethical use of technology in pursuit of Bible Society's mission.

All three will sit on a Board governing a charity that has translated and distributed the Bible in people's own languages since 1804, and is today active in around 240 countries and regions, from Bible translation in the field to a faith and society think tank at home. The time commitment is modest relative to that scope: four in-person Board meetings a year, a January retreat, and committee support that equates to 10-12 days in total.
 

Across all three roles, we are looking for a spiritually mature Christian faith, the confidence to speak your mind and be challenged in return, and a genuine willingness to contribute beyond your own specialism. Bible Society works interconfessionally and welcomes applications from Christians of every tradition.

Applications should include a comprehensive CV and a supporting statement of no more than two pages.

*This post carries a genuine occupational requirement, the postholder must be a committed, practising Christian who fully supports the mission of Bible Society.

Eighteen schools. Nearly 9,500 children. A Trust that's grown from eight schools to eighteen in just over five years, now needs to add to its Board. 

STCAT was built through merger and rapid expansion, and is now shifting from fast growth to consolidation; building the structures and capacity to match its current scale, and becoming a more outward-facing voice in Catholic education, with the Diocese, the Department for Education and the wider sector. Whichever role fits you, you'll be joining at the moment that shift is happening, not after it's done.

Ask any current Director to describe the Board and the same words come up, unprompted; collegiate, professional, and, more than once, a family. People who mostly didn't know each other have built something rooted in Catholic Social Teaching, robust enough to hold the executive team to account, but without anyone bringing their ego to the table.

Chair of the Board of Directors
You'll line manage the CEO, chair a Board of this size and culture, and increasingly become the person representing STCAT externally as the Trust looks outward. You don't need an education background, the Board actively welcomes Chairs from outside it, but you'll need significant senior leadership or board-level experience, real confidence reading a budget, and genuine experience chairing meetings and managing group dynamics.

Be realistic about the time; 5 to 6 days a month, and regular travel across Luton, Buckinghamshire and Slough. The Directors are working to bring that commitment down over time as they recruit to the Board, but it's real now.

Director (Trustee)
STCAT's Board was built for nine Directors. For a stretch, while the Trust doubled its schools, it ran on seven, which is why more than one new Director is needed now. You don't need to be a specialist, STCAT has professional advisers for that, but you do need the confidence to ask the questions nobody else is asking and work with the Board to support the executive team.

Day to day, that's five Board meetings a year, a seat on a committee where your expertise counts, and becoming Link Director to a small number of schools, visiting at least one Local Academy Committee meeting a year to see what the Board's decisions mean on the ground. Roughly two days a month. We're especially keen to hear from people with real expertise in finance, HR, legal and regulatory compliance, property and estates, risk, safeguarding, mental health, technology, or marketing and communications.

Not sure which role fits? Say so. Some Directors go on to become strong Chairs once they know the Board, and the current Chair is available for a handover period. Raise it in your first conversation with Adam.

Both posts carry a genuine occupational requirement; you'll need to be a practising Catholic and genuinely committed to Catholic Social Teaching.

Both are voluntary roles, appointed by the Bishop of Northampton for a four-year term, renewable for up to two further terms.

Applications should include a comprehensive CV and a supporting statement of no more than two pages.

We welcome and encourage expressions of interest from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion*, sexual orientation, age, veteran status or other category protected by law. 

*Due to the nature of the role, it is a genuine occupational requirement that the postholder is a committed, practising Catholic and fully supports the objectives of the Trust.

Closing date for applications: 23 November 2026
Interviews with STCAT: w/c 30 November and 7 December 2026
 

Help shape the future of a charity that stands beside families from diagnosis through every stage of their Duchenne journey. Join Action Duchenne as a Trustee.

Almost two families a week in the UK hear these words: "Your child has Duchenne muscular dystrophy."

There is no cure. But there can be someone on the other end of the phone who understands. That is what Action Duchenne has offered families for nearly 25 years, from the moment of diagnosis, through the hardest days, right through to bereavement support.

As one parent put it: "From the first phone call, I felt completely understood and supported."

Now the charity is strengthening its Trustee Board, and we are proud to be working with them exclusively.

They are looking for people with independent judgement who are not afraid to ask good questions. Finance, fundraising, impact measurement and communications experience is particularly welcome.
 
You do not need to know anything about Duchenne. 
First-time trustees are encouraged, with a full induction and training.

What to expect:

• Voluntary role, with reasonable travel expenses met
• Most meetings held remotely, with quarterly away days in London
• Around 8 hours a month
• Six-month trial period, then a three-year term

If you want your governance to have real purpose, this is it.

What's in it for you?

• Help shape the future of a national charity
• Develop your governance and leadership experience
• Work alongside a passionate and committed Board
• Make a meaningful difference to families affected by Duchenne
   

If you want to use your professional skills to create lasting impact, we'd love to hear from you. These unremunerated roles are open to all.
 
This role is subject to a DBS check, which will be carried out by the employer.
