Animal Welfare Senior Operations Manager
Contract, Full-time
Job title: Animal Welfare Senior Operations Manager
Salary: Up to £49,541.39 plus excellent benefits
Location: Homebased
Job type: Fixed term contract
Contract length: End of Q3 2021
Closing date: 27 January 2021
Virtual Interview date: w/c 08 February 2021
Cats Protection is the UK's leading feline welfare charity with a nationwide network of adoption and homing centres, volunteer-run branches and charity shops. During 2019 we helped around 191,000 cats and kittens, an average of 520 per day.
Like all organisations, at Cats Protection we have had to change the way we operate to ensure that we continue to be there for cats throughout the COVID pandemic whilst keeping our people safe.
We are now looking to recruit three senior operations managers on a fixed term basis, to help consolidate this new way of working whilst we assess our longer term needs and future strategy. These senior roles will bring greater resilience and agility to our team, whilst also creating the capacity for continuous improvement and innovation in our operations.
These field operations roles will be home based and take on day to day responsibility for the safe and effective operation and governance of our network of 35 centres and nearly 200 volunteer led branches across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Traditionally the scope of our field based team has been defined by geography, but with travel currently restricted that is not a consideration at this time. Wherever you are located, you will lead a team of managers remotely based across all corners of the United Kingdom, ensuring they effectively manage their teams enabling us to have the greatest positive impact for cats.
With a focus on collaboration, underpinned by excellent interpersonal skills, developed within large (ideally national scale) organisations, you will have a track record of effectively leading large complex teams of both employees and volunteers remotely. You will be comfortable and confident in leading innovation in a rapidly changing environment, based on your sound understanding of the current challenges of the UK animal welfare sector.
In addition to your day to day management responsibilities there will be the opportunity to lead a cross directorate specialism with a more strategic focus. Specialisms will be allocated post recruitment and include, a focus on our operational approach in the devolved nations of the UK, cat welfare, and operational change and innovation.
To apply for this position please click the APPLY ONLINE button. Our application process requires you submit a CV and answer screening questions – including explaining your interest and suitability for the role. Unfortunately we cannot accept applications or CVs that are emailed to us directly.

Reporting directly to HIS's Senior fundraising Director UK/EU, this maternity cover post will work closely with colleagues in Philanthropy teams in HSI's Washington DC headquarters, in order to deliver a coherent global fundraising approach, optimising opportunities and maximising results for our animal protection programmes around the world. The position is supported by a part time Major Gifts Consultant.

1. Develop and deliver Major Gift (institutions, corporations, and high net worth individuals) fundraising, to generate funds for our global animal protection programmes.
2. Acquire, develop and maintain relationships with new high-value prospect, leading to ongoing financial support. Initiate, manage, and develop relationships with corporations, trusts, and foundations.
3. Identify and qualify new prospects in order to meet set income targets.

An excellent communicator with experience and understanding of the spectrum of individual giving channels, you'll possess a good understanding of donor care, with the skills and experience necessary to acquire and cultivate meaningful relationships with major donors, and you'll have demonstrable history of success raising five figure gifts. You'll have a good understanding and experience of what it takes to make successful applications to trusts and foundations, and to build on those successes where possible. You'll have an eye for detail but also be able to see and analyse the big picture, continually applying learnings in a positive feedback loop to improve donor journeys and increase return on investment.
If you want to use your skills to make a difference and be part of a global team, we want to hear from you!

Senior Policy Manager
SE1, London
Contract, Temporary, 12 month Fixed Term Contract Contract, Full-time
Do you want to shape and influence the future of fire safety?
This is an exciting opportunity to work for the National Fire Chiefs Council (NFCC) in our busy Protection Policy and Reform Unit. NFCC is the professional voice of the UK fire and rescue service who support FRSs to provide national leadership and drive strategic change. We need a Senior Policy Manager to help as we work towards the introduction of the proposed new Building Safety Regulator (BSR), following government proposals laid out in the draft Building Safety Bill. This is a politically neutral role, and the successful person will ideally be a politically aware individual that can exercise sound judgement and display discretion.
On 14 June 2017 the devastating fire at Grenfell Tower led to the loss of 72 lives with many more injured. The fire was an unprecedented event and since that day NFCC have been working to ensure it should never happen again. In 2018 NFCC set up a Building Safety Programme Team (BSP Team) to lead the Fire and Rescue Services' response to reforms proposed in Building A Safer Future, in response to the Independent Review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety, lead by Dame Judith Hackitt. In late 2019 the Government invited the Chair of NFCC Roy Wilsher, to Chair a new Protection Board (PB). This year the Government have provided £20m in funding to support an uplift in FRSs Protection activity and capability, with part of the funding available for the work of the NFCC's PB secretariat and BSP Team.
This is an important area of activity working with FRSs, Government partners and wider stakeholders, mobilising and developing new approaches to tackle building safety regulation.
Working alongside our existing team of technical fire safety experts and fire engineers, you will be responsible for supporting a high-profile programme of work to help deliver the proposed new Building Safety Regime, an uplift to the Protection capability within FRSs, and national level initiatives and service improvements to respond to recommendations from the Grenfell Tower Public Inquiry and HMICFRS.
This is a rewarding and demanding role. You will need to have excellent analytical, policy development, communications, and problem-solving skills, and to be passionate about the role of CFOs in fire service transformation and fire protection. Whilst you do not need to have operational fire experience, you do need to have a good understanding and appreciation of the fire policy and governance landscape.
You will be joining the NFCC at a critical time, with a fast-paced building safety reform agenda being delivered across government, including the response to the Grenfell Tower fire, and findings from HMICFRS reporting on FRSs. If this role is of interest, we would love to hear from you.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience
The post holder will need to use initiative and judgement to resolve problems encountered, which may be complex in nature.
The post requires a self-motivated individual who can plan, organise and be adaptive in a non-traditional office environment, and will be comfortable working across a range of platforms. You will be adept at providing support to senior decision makers, have excellent time management skills, attention to detail and the ability to prioritise competing demands.
You will also be able to gather and analyse information from a variety of sources, drawing out relevant points and communicating them succinctly. You will be confident building rapport with senior leaders. You may previously have worked in producing advice to Ministers, provided policy advice within the civil service, or helped to deliver in an area of significant policy reform. An understanding of building safety and construction market regulation is desirable.
Key skills and experience include:
Organisation and attention to detail.
Experience advising busy, senior decision makers.
Excellent communication skills, both written and oral.
Experience of working in a fast-moving environment agile, ideally with experience from a public sector background.
Experience of leading on the production of policy advice, guidance, and consultations.
Experience mentoring or managing other team members.
Thorough, with the ability to establish and maintain procedures and systems.
Excellent interpersonal skills, with the ability to deal with a wide range of stakeholders.
Ability to work as part of a lean organisation, autonomously.
Political awareness, with the ability to exercise discretion, judgment and confidentiality when dealing with elected members and officers at every level, and to demonstrate political neutrality at all times.
Good digital presentation skills across Microsoft and web based platforms; adept in Powerpoint and visual presentation.
Relevant work experience.
Opportunities may be offered to successful candidates either on a secondment basis, or via fixed term contracts subject to skills, experience, and knowledge. Roles are for an initial period of 12 months, with the possibility of extension, subject to future funding.
How to apply: please submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) setting out your relevant skills and experience, and what you feel you could bring to the team (no more than one – two sides of A4, this may be supported by a copy of your curriculum vitae if desired).
If you are applying for a secondment from another organisation such as the Civil Service, we recommend you speak to your manager before applying as to whether this is likely to be supported.
