Be the spark behind stronger fundraising leadership. Join The Elischer Foundation as our new Treasurer Trustee and help shape the future of fundraising across the charity sector. By supporting us, you won't just be safeguarding one organisation's finances-you'll be strengthening leadership for hundreds of fundraisers making change happen around the world. This is your chance to amplify impact through strategy, stewardship, and purpose-driven leadership. If you're ready to influence change at a sector-wide level, we'd love to hear from you. The Opportunity The Elischer Foundation seeks an experienced, strategic, and engaged Treasurer to join its Board. This role is essential in ensuring the sustainable and responsible stewardship of the Foundation's finances as we build towards a future of greater reach, stronger partnerships, and lasting impact. As Treasurer, you will play a critical governance role by supporting robust financial oversight, guiding the Board's understanding of financial risks and opportunities, and providing leadership on matters relating to our financial sustainability. The role is not operational, but active engagement is expected. We are seeking someone with strong financial skills, sound judgement, and a commitment to The Elischer Foundation's vision, who will enjoy contributing to a small, ambitious, values-driven organisation. About The Elischer Foundation The Foundation was established in 2017 in memory of Tony Elischer, who had died the previous year. Tony was a fundraising leader known for his disruptive thinking, big ideas, and relentless hunger for growth and learning. The Elischer Foundation is dedicated to equipping charities and fundraising with the best leaders for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. We provide a bespoke mentoring programme which supplements and complements the training and support individuals may already access via their fundraising or fundraising related roles. Our mission is to nurture authentic, diverse, and values based leaders, who are driven to create positive and lasting change for beneficiaries around the world. In 2022, we lost Nicky, Tony's wife and our founding Chair, and we became The Elischer Foundation-committed to ensuring that the next generation of fundraising leaders in the UK and beyond are best equipped to lead in a complex and rapidly changing world. This is Tony and Nicky's legacy. We are currently developing a new five-year strategy that will see the charity engage in more collaborative partnerships, focus on the end-to-end mentee journey and what is offered, and build out our funding and fundraising to ensure sustainability and growth. Critical to our mission is the recognition that if we do the same things, at best we will get the same results and they won't get us to a place of safeguarding our income and core delivery. Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that The Elischer Foundation achieves its vision. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity, by ensuring that our strategy, work and goals are in line with our vision. While we are fortunate to have a diverse Board, most members have experience rooted in charity sector leadership. We see this role as an opportunity to ensure we have strong strategic financial skills and oversight on our Board, complemented by commercial acumen perhaps honed through time in the private or social enterprise sector. Key Responsibilities Provide strategic financial oversight for the charity, ensuring effective financial controls, transparent reporting, and compliance with statutory requirements. Oversee the preparation and presentation of budgets, management accounts, and annual financial statements to the Board. Monitor the financial viability of the Foundation, supporting effective financial risk management. Work with the Director to strengthen the Board's understanding of financial matters and key risks. Provide oversight of the Foundation's financial assets, including the legacy fund, and work with external, regulated investment managers to steward funds in line with our ethical investment policy and risk appetite. Ensure a clear separation of governance oversight from regulated investment management responsibilities. Support the Director with the annual reporting process. Advise the Board on financial implications of strategic plans and new initiatives. While not required, experience in business development or commercial partnerships is desirable. All Trustees are expected to advocate for the Foundation and support its growth. Responsibilities of all trustees Uphold and support The Elischer Foundation's mission and strategic objectives. Actively participate in Board meetings and governance discussions. Provide scrutiny and constructive challenge to ensure high standards of performance. Promote good governance, safeguarding, and ethical leadership. Use independent judgement, acting legally and in the Foundation's best interests. Represent the Foundation externally as an ambassador when appropriate. As a small charity, Trustees contribute both at Board level and as champions and ambassadors for our work. Person Specification Essential: Senior-level experience in finance, accountancy, or financial governance. Strategic thinker with a strong understanding of financial risk management. Ability to oversee and interrogate financial reports and systems. Commitment to good governance and ethical leadership. Desirable: Accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent) or significant relevant experience. Experience with or understanding of charity finance. Commercial or business development experience. Terms of Appointment Initial appointment for a three-year term, renewable by mutual agreement. Voluntary role; reasonable expenses reimbursed. Expected commitment: c. 14 days annually, including four Board meetings (hybrid: remote/in-person London), monthly calls with the Director, and active involvement in key governance and strategic discussions. Application Process To apply, please submit your CV (or a link to your LinkedIn profile) and a short covering letter outlining your motivation, relevant experience, and how you meet the person specification to Laura Swan, Director, at (Subject line: Treasurer Trustee Application).

High-level bits to keep in mind Location: London (Oval), inc. flexible days Type: Full-time (London-based) Salary: £60,000 - £70,000 Who I am and what I am looking for Hi, I'm JC, Head of Design at Zen Educate. I started sketching out the first versions of the product on evenings and weekends before we had a team, a logo, or an office. Now, I lead our growing design function as we tackle more complex, ambitious, and impactful problems across both sides of the Atlantic. I'm looking for a Senior Product Designer who wants to do meaningful work at the intersection of service, system, and interface design. Someone who cares deeply about users, communicates clearly, thinks in flows not screens, and is excited to partner closely with product, engineering, our commercial team and most importantly, our customers, to solve real-world problems in education. Design at Zen is about shaping problems, navigating ambiguity, collaborating with conviction - and crafting simple, scalable, elegant experiences that make a real difference. Here's what we value in our designers: Clarity over all - clear thinking, clear visuals, clear storytelling Systems thinking - not just how a screen works, but how it fits into the wider workflow Craft + impact - quality design isn't precious, it's purposeful Bias to ship - perfection is a direction, not a requirement Curiosity and candour - great design comes from great questions and honest collaboration We're still a small design team, which means you'll have a lot of room to shape how we work, build design maturity across the org, and leave your fingerprints on a product with deep real-world impact. What we are building and why Getting the right teacher into the right school at the right time is a nuanced, meaningful problem. Done well, it improves children's outcomes and gets more money into classrooms (we've already saved UK schools over £30 million since 2017). Done poorly, it burns out teachers, wastes money, and disrupts education. Our platform helps teachers find meaningful work and schools fill roles efficiently. It supports internal operations teams matching supply and demand, mobile-first experiences for educators, and tools for schools to manage short- and long-term needs. We're well established in the UK and rapidly growing in the US - a market that's similar in spirit but different in all the details. That means complex, fascinating design challenges at every level: workflow UX, service design, visual systems, information architecture, messaging, accessibility, trust, and much more. What the role looks like in practice All job descriptions are a bit abstract - so here's a snapshot of the kinds of things our designers have been doing recently: "There's a lot of autonomy at Zen and you have the chance to carve out space for what you want to work on. You get to be involved in the whole design process from helping to define what you'll work on, to delivery - it's very collaborative. Some highlights that I'm working on would be: a design-led project to improve the teacher request flow, and helping refine the brand as we grow." - James, Senior Product Designer on the School Team "Lately I've been diving into some really exciting work aimed at transforming how educators engage with booking requests for daily supply in our app. We're exploring smarter, more intuitive experiences to cut down on ignored requests - unlocking better data, faster decisions, and ultimately helping us make stronger, more successful matches between educators and schools." - Sam, Senior Product Designer on the Marketplace Team You'll work across the full product lifecycle - from discovery through to delivery - with a focus on user outcomes, speed of learning, and design quality. You'll also mentor other designers, contribute to evolving our design culture, and help shape how we scale. What you might like or dislike Like any org, we've made certain trade-offs that shape how we work. Here's some context to help you decide if Zen is a good fit: How We Work Design is a partner, not a service. You'll co-own problems, shape solutions, and drive delivery with your squad. Lean over large. We prefer efficiently created Figma flows, sharp critiques, and weekly iterations over lengthy decks and bloated specs. Design system exists and is growing. But you'll help define and evolve it - it's not "done" or rigid. Growth & Progression Choose your own adventure. You'll shape your path, not wait for a ladder to appear. We value influence, not just individual contribution. Levels not titles. We use Levels to reflect growth and scope, not inflated titles. There's plenty of space to stretch without switching tracks. Shared context, not command and control. You'll be expected to lead your work and communicate your thinking - with support but not micromanagement Compensation Solid, but not flashy compensation. We pay decently, but we won't beat out companies with deeper pockets (yet!). Progression = impact. Pay increases come with increased level and scope. We invest in your growth, not just reward it after the fact. Team Culture Small design team, big ambitions. You won't get lost in a 50-person design org - and you'll help define what "great" looks like. Async and face-to-face collaboration. Iterative sharing, with structured rituals and casual touch points to stay aligned and connected. Mission-led and user-focused. Our product isn't a vanity tool or a growth hack. It's a platform with deep real-world impact. Still scrappy in places. Not everything is polished or perfectly resourced. If you like clean chaos and building things properly, you'll thrive. How we hire We aim to hire fast and fairly - clarity over games. Our ideal process is: apply one week, offer the next. Here's what that looks like: Recruiter chat We'll check the basics - your availability, compensation expectations, and whether this feels like a mutual fit. Meeting with me I'll want to understand how you work, what matters to you in a design role, and how we can support your best work A deep dive into a past project (or two) will follow. We'll look for clear storytelling, design thinking, collaboration, and the impact of your work. Design task session You'll work on a real product problem - shaping it, exploring options, and figuring out how you think. Culture & collaboration chat You'll meet a few of the people you'd be working alongside - outside of the product sphere. This is where we get a sense of what it's like to work at Zen. Expect a relaxed, candid chat about team dynamics, values, and ways of working. We believe in feedback, but only share it if you ask for it. If you want it, just say so - we'll be honest and constructive about how we saw things. Sound exciting? Let's talk. If you read all this and thought "hell yes" (even if it's a slightly nervous one), then please apply. If you skimmed and thought "maybe," apply anyway - you'll get a clearer sense once we chat. We're always open to great people, even if the timing isn't perfect. We currently have a clear need for one more Senior Product Designer to join the team - maybe it's you? Diversity and Inclusion At Zen, we strive to build a culture of equity and inclusion, where everyone is respected, valued and appreciated for their unique traits, experiences and perspectives. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive and equitable environment where our team can thrive, regardless of age, ethnicity, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, disability, religion or beliefs. We value our differences and believe that practices of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion help us create a fairer, more compassionate environment for all. We welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds and different experiences and perspectives - just like the staff who teach through Zen and the children at the schools we work with. We believe in hiring the best people from the widest pool and creating an inclusive culture where people's voices are heard and all our team can look forward to coming to work. We are committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of our community and promoting an equitable and inclusive environment for all. We seek out diverse opinions, beliefs, and experiences because they collectively make us stronger; we've had former teachers, pilots, fundraisers, engineers, lawyers, marketers, social media experts and more join our team.

WHO WE ARE We're FIRST UK , a EdTech charity using robots, role models and competitions to make STEM more approachable and inclusive - empowering young people with the technical knowledge and soft skills to thrive. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR A dynamic, driven development manager. A fundraiser, partnerships guru, and consummate relationship builder. Someone who can identify, go after, and convert opportunities to scale the charity's reach and impact. Broadly this means more money and greater participation. Through your ability to seek out the relationships which matter you will ensure the charity develops: Income generating relationships with trusts, foundations, and philanthropists Corporate partnerships fuelling our programmes with volunteers and funding Collaborations with organisations supporting outreach and growth An ecosystem of proactive trustees, advisors, ambassadors and advocates Your tenacity will build and steward a network to achieve our mission better and sooner. What you'll get Leadership, autonomy and sense of purpose. You'll be working in a small organisation which is lean, agile and fast-paced. Unimpeded by hierarchy and bureaucracy you'll have the freedom to experiment, fail fast and crack on. You'll be presenting a compelling case for support against a validated impact model. Long before pandemics we were working flexibly and remotely - it's embedded to our culture. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING Working closely with the CEO you'll get the charity in front of the right people, having the right conversations which grow investment and participation. Income generation You'll work across the full fundraising mix - trusts & foundations, corporate partnerships, philanthropy and, as we scale, individual giving and statutory. You'll be as comfortable crafting a compelling multi-year grant proposal, as you are pitching to the board of a FinTech company or a UHNWI. You'll flex your approach to the audience and know how to secure significant (six figure) partnerships, grants and gifts by: Building and driving a well-researched, constantly evolving fundraising pipeline Developing and honing our case for support and associated assets Pursuing grant applications and funding bids Prospecting corporate partnerships and securing sponsorship DStewarding partners and delivering impactful employee engagement opportunities Leveraging existing networks, volunteers, and partners Growth partnerships We work with thousands of young people in schools and youth groups - who are designing, building and then competing with robots in a series of epic competitions. Getting into schools is challenging, retaining them a stretch, and achieving teacher referrals harder still. Your interpersonal skills will enable us to identify, pursue and catch relationships to grow participation. Reporting to the CEO, working with the Head of Impact and Engagement alongside the Head of Delivery you will: Develop, implement and lead on the charity's growth strategy Build and own significant outreach partnerships - with universities, science centres, other charities and youth orgs Leverage corporate partnerships in support of growth (maximising volunteerism, advocacy, referral) Advocacy and influence We're a young charity (just 18 months old when COVID struck). In six years we have established some impressive contacts and relationships with industry, NGOs, sector players, influencers. With the CEO you will now unlock their potential via: Helping to on-board, steward and leverage Trustees and Advisors Supporting creation and management of relevant Advisory and Fundraising Boards Building and owning relationships with external bodies and individuals who can help increase our share of voice, influence, investment, impact Job descriptions can become exhaustive lists, lacking in focus and clarity. As Development Lead in its purest sense you'll attack two inextricably linked things: Growth through increased participation The sustainable income to support that growth You'll do this by identifying, converting and stewarding the relationships which achieve one and two. That's the mission if you're up for it. WHO MIGHT THIS ROLE SUIT? A people person - passionate, intellectually curious, credible. You flex style to audience. You are as comfortable in the boardroom as on the shopfloor. Not afraid to challenge or be challenged. Considered and balanced. You might already be working in the Third Sector - in a fundraising role and ready for your first headship. You'll have experience of conceiving, producing and delivering pitches. Maybe you are from a commercial background in sales or relationship management - looking to use your talent for good. Whatever your background - the common, transferable skill set is being excellent at relationships. Understanding that it's not just about the chat, it's about the follow through. You do what you say you will - and do it well. KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE You will have: Evidence of winning relationships which have generated significant income (e.g corporate partnerships, sponsorship, tenders, grants etc) Evidence of delivering bold strategies for growth (this might be in sales, membership, users, income etc) Experience propsecting, brokering and stewarding relationships at a senior level You might have: Passion for STEM, tech for good, young people, inclusion, diversity SKILLS AND ABILITIES You are: Commercially minded - spotting opportunities and identifying the WIFFT/U A confident negotiator and sophisticated communicator Resilient, robust and empathetic to others A true problem solver - solution focused VALUES AND BEHAVIOURS You demonstrate: Energy and passion - a radiator, not a drain Gravitas and integrity which commands trust and respect Fantatsic work ethic with attention to detail I'm loving the sound of this is there more I need to know? If there is we'll chat about it in the interview. CONDITIONS We don't talk about benefits; we talk about culture. It's not how many hours you work or where you work them - it's what you deliver. Salary - we've bench-marked the role at £42,000 - £49,000 pa , let's understand the value you can bring We advocate a work-life balance maximising happiness and productivity. We work remotely from home most of the time (but the role is technically hybrid) We come together regularly to collaborate - at least once or twice per month in London, more during event season You have access to coworking spaces where you live 25 days annual leave Our insurances are comprehensive - including 4 x salary, covered from start date. Pension Scheme (Smart Pension) auto-enrollment of all staff after 3 months service. LOCATION Our team is home-based, coming together regularly to cowork, and deliver events. You should expect to attend a team collaboration day at least monthly, usually in London. This may require an overnight stay dependent on your location. If you can conduct your role effectively and are willing to travel to maximise growth opportunities, you can be based anywhere in the UK. Building great relationships doesn't happen over video calls it's best in person. THE PROCESS All applications via our Workable HR platform (no agencies, no pre-approaches) Answer 3 simple screener questions Optional cover letter Closes 2359 on Sun 27th Jul To apply you must live in, and have the right to work in the UK.
