London, EC2 
£40,574 - £47,336
 

The National Deaf Children’s Society is the leading charity dedicated to creating a world without barriers for deaf children and young people. 

Do you want to play a pivotal role in raising the funds we need to provide our life-changing services for deaf children and their families? 

This year, the National Deaf Children’s Society aims to raise £22 million to fund our range of services and campaigning work to support deaf children and their families. More than 90% of this funding will be generated through the activities of the Supporter Marketing team, and is made possible through an active and established programme of supporter recruitment. 

The Head of Supporter Recruitment is a senior role within the Supporter Marketing team, responsible for maximising long term net income by recruiting new individual financial supporters. Line managing four direct reports, and with additional responsibility for the operation of a team of up to 25 street fundraising representatives, you will oversee a portfolio of activities to profitably attract new supporters, in line with internal policies and sector regulations. Working across a range of channels, including door-to-door, public, street and privately booked locations, telemarketing, and digital, you will have responsibility for a typical annual expenditure budget of around £8m and be tasked with recruiting more than 80,000 new supporters each year. 

To apply for this role, you will have to complete an online application and specify how you meet the person specification criteria, as outlined in the job description. 

Currently, the application process works best on desktop / laptop devices.

Company

The National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS) is a charity which represents the interests of, and campaigns for, deaf children and young people. Formed in 1944, the charity has more than 230 employees and offices in London, Birmingham, Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow. It also has an international development wing, Deaf Child Worldwide.

The NDCS retains its original role as a parents’ organisation dedicated to the needs of deaf children, of whom there are 45,000 living in the UK. The charity provides a multi-faceted service supporting families with deaf children from birth until the age of 25. It offers free membership to all parents and carers of deaf children.

Research suggests that more than 77% of school-aged deaf children in the UK attend mainstream schools where there is no specialist provision. Without the right support, NDCS says, deaf children and young people are vulnerable to isolation, abuse, bullying, poor self-esteem and low levels of achievement. However, deafness is not a learning disability and there is no reason why the majority of deaf children should achieve any less than hearing children.

NCDS’ services take many forms. It offers a wealth of online information and downloadable factsheets, booklets and DVDs on subjects such as financial support, education and technology. There is a helpline offering advice and support for deaf children and their families on topics ranging from benefits and social care to communication and discrimination. The Helpline also provides advice and information for professionals working with deaf children.

NDCS hosts a web forum for families and runs a programme of weekend events for when children have just been diagnosed or are about to start primary or secondary school. The charity also puts on free events for deaf children and young people aged 8 to 16 and runs a website, called The Buzz, for children and teenagers.

NDCS also enables beneficiaries to borrow technology and products, running a Technology Test Drive service for parents and children to try out products at home and school.

NDCS’s international wing, Deaf Child Worldwide, is an international development agency dedicated to enabling deaf children to overcome poverty and isolation. It operates in South Asia, East Africa and Latin America.

Employee benefits for staff working at NDCS include 25 days’ annual leave, financial support for employees taking external studies, family friendly policies and a relaxed dress code.
