Fundraising Co-Ordinator to the Venerable English College Heritage Collections

Self-employed consultancy position for an anticipated 12-month period

Expand

Fundraising Co-Ordinator to the Venerable English College Heritage Collections

The Venerable English College in Rome is a Catholic seminary established by the Holy See in 1579 and has historic collections of international significance dating back to 1362 which include a collection of some 15,000 rare books and numerous works of art.

Our Vision
To protect, conserve, understand, manage, and open this heritage, so it can be shared and appreciated by the Catholic community, the wider public, academics and researchers. We seek to secure the future of the whole Heritage Collection (including the Archives, Rare Books and Artworks) by undertaking their full identification, cataloguing, preservation, and digitisation, and through a programme of research and educational outreach.

The collections have largely remained hidden from view and the priority is to unlock this heritage and its potential to inform, inspire and emphasise its relevance in today’s world. Archives website

Our Work to Date
Much successful work has been done to preserve the collections. Projects include the creation of a designated storage area, complete with ambient temperature controls, to house the archival collections; the start of a digitisation programme; the establishment of the Schwarzenbach Fellowship, funding a full-time historian as Director of Heritage Collections; and the development of an outreach programme. Further projects have also been identified and await funding.

This work has been made possible through low-profile fund-raising initiatives under the guidance of the Archives Committee. The Committee now considers the time to be right in seeking advice and support as to the direction that fund-raising should now take, and ideas and expressions of interest are now sought from people who wish to be involved in the next stage of development.

This position is funded by the Venerable English College Trust, a UK charity – Number 1142558

The Role
The main aim is to raise additional funding from a variety of sources primarily from the UK, but also from other countries. The role will involve working closely with the Archives Committee to help shape the on-going fund-raising strategy, sharing expertise in fund-raising, maintaining relationships with existing donors, attracting new supporters, and initiating and making bid applications.

It is envisaged that the appointee will be based in the UK, with occasional visits to Rome, and will report to the Archives Committee. A like-minded interest in supporting heritage preservation will be an advantage.

This is a self-employed consultancy position for an anticipated twelve-month period with remuneration set at a maximum £30 per hour for an estimated 14 hours per week.

Applications
The Archives Committee wish to receive expressions of interest from candidates with a successful fund-raising track-record by email to Tom Harrison at [email protected]

Please include a CV and a brief note about why this position interests you. Closing date - Friday 15 July.

The Archives Committee requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Head of Safeguarding

Hours:  Full time / permanent Salary:  £45,000-£55,000 Location:  Birmingham / Hybrid

Expand

The Archdiocese of Birmingham's mission is to serve the people living within the Archdiocese, supporting parish priests, the people in the parish and school communities, to worship and live according to Gospel values and to evangelise within their local communities through the witness of their lives.

We are now seeking a Head of Safeguarding to join this charitable, faith-based organisation. The post holder will manage the operations of the Safeguarding Team, who operate in accordance with the statutory framework and the Catholic Church’s safeguarding policies and procedures.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate:

  • Significant practitioner experience in safeguarding children and/or vulnerable adults.
  • Experience of working collaboratively with other relevant agencies, e.g. Children’s or Adult Services, Health or Police and with service users on delivering a responsive service.
  • Compassionate with excellent listening skills, able to empathise with victims and survivors.
  • Experience of delivering training to a variety of audiences.

To succeed in this role, you will be a person of integrity, able to work confidentially and sensitively and have excellent interpersonal skills.  You will be flexible and able to work under pressure, with good communication skills. 

Alan Hassall is the outgoing Head of Safeguarding:

“It hasn’t been an easy decision for me to leave after only three years, and I would have liked to have stayed on longer, however, due to some recent family events and circumstances, I am currently unable to give the full-time dedication and commitment that this role really does require,” said Alan.

“Whilst the three years I have spent here have at times been challenging, as I arrived following the IICSA case study into the Archdiocese, it has been an incredibly rewarding role and one which I will definitely miss.

“It has been an honour to be a part of such important and necessary change, and the passion and enthusiasm of so many people across our Archdiocese in promoting good safeguarding practice and creating welcoming safe spaces for all has not only been an inspiration to me but I know will have made a very real difference for vulnerable people in our communities.

“Speaking to survivors of abuse has impressed upon me how much we must continue to listen, learn and act. An awful lot has been done nationally and locally and it is now a time to embed that change; I wish I could have been here longer to help with that process, but I am confident that there is a determination within the Archdiocese at all levels to ensure the safety and protection of all. This will be a rewarding role for an experienced safeguarding professional.”

We welcome and encourage applications 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.

For more information, please contact Adam Stacey, Managing Director of Charisma Charity Recruitment, via [email protected] or 01962 813300.  Your application should be submitted through the Charisma website and include your CV and supporting statement.

Closing date for applications: 11 July 2022
Interview date: w/c 25 July 2022

Apply via Charisma Recruitment
