Job Details

Prospectus are delighted to be working exclusively with Haven House Children's Hospice to help them recruit for a new Major Gifts Fundraiser.  This role will help drive the organisations overall fundraising strategy, build relationships with major givers, VIP's, as well as solicit four, five and six figure donations.  The post holder will be part of a successful and driven team that has grown their income by nearly 50% in the last five years.   
    
Haven House Children's Hospice looks after children and young people aged from birth to 19 years old who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions. The hospice nestles in woodland on the borders of Essex and London, and just 15 minutes' walk from Woodford Tube Station on the Central Line.  From October, the income generation team will be working from a purpose built, modern office building on the grounds.  The hospice itself has just undergone a renovation which has created a vibrant and colourful space.   
    
The 22 strong fundraising team that you will be part of generated nearly £3.3 million in income last year from a range of sources; and the aim is to exceed this figure going forward. As an experienced member of the team, you will enjoy the autonomy to enhance and introduce ideas to increase this income stream - a portfolio of events is already established to help with this including an annual ball, women in business lunch and invitation only events.     
    
The Major Gifts Fundraiser position will report to the Head of Corporate and Major Gifts.  You will be expected to handle your own budget line and work load but you will be supported by the wider team who have a strong work ethic and solid team spirit.    The environment is positive and creative and would suit someone passionate about our cause.   
    
The ideal person will have a proven track record in Major Gifts and have previously delivered five/six figure gifts.  Your start point will be a strategic review of our major donor work so experience in this is a must. You will also be a great relationship builder and networker who will get stuck in.      
    
If you would like to find out more about our client and this position, or if you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with the Fundraising Team at Prospectus. To register your interest in this position, please submit a Word version of your CV; covering letters are not required at this stage. A full job description will be provided to candidates shortlisted by Prospectus.
