Head of Fundraising
Salary: £50k- £55k depending on experience and qualifications
Location: Camden, London. Some flexible working considered.

In the UK there are more than 1.3 million children and young people living with a disability and nearly four million children living in poverty. 

This children’s charity exists to improve the lives of these children and since 1949 the organisation in the UK has raised more than £270m in pursuit of this objective. 

The charity provides practical, tangible help that makes an immediate difference, which includes grants for specialist equipment as well as accessible transport used by schools and other non-profit organisations across the UK. The charity’s Great Days Out are legendary.

As with many organisations they are re-calibrating to adjust to the changes that have been brought by the Coronavirus pandemic, which has only increased the demand for what they do.

Our client, the Children’s Charity, seeks an enthusiastic individual, particularly with extensive experience in all areas of charity fundraising to lead their Fundraising Department.

The impact of the Covid pandemic on their event income has highlighted the importance of growing even further their other income streams, and their trustees have approved new investment in fundraising to strengthen the team and its performance.

The charity aims to double non - event fundraising income over the coming five years, create a sustainable fundraising programme for the long-term and bring about a culture change that sees non - event fundraising income take an equally important role alongside their event fundraising income.

The Head of Fundraising is a pivotal appointment for the charity in achieving that ambition.

The Head of Fundraising will join their leadership team and be responsible for delivering a transformation in their fundraising activity, performance, and positioning.

This is a hands-on role and the Head of Fundraising will lead by example, undertaking as well as directing the fundraising, and managing relationships with a pool of major donors and other key stakeholders. This will also include leadership and management of the fundraising team and its programmes (corporates, trusts and foundations, legacies, community, individual giving, virtual and online fundraising, London special fundraising events) and growth, and development and implementation of a fundraising strategy, and financial management.

Closing date: Thursday 8th September 2022 at 5pm.

Please note: Applications will be considered on a rolling basis; therefore, they advise candidates to apply at the earliest convenience and reserve the right to close the vacancy before the stated closing date.
