About the charity
When a child or young person is diagnosed with cancer, their whole world (and their family's) can feel like it's falling apart. Their anxieties are deep. Their education, mental health and social lives suffer. Their futures feel very uncertain. Young Lives vs Cancer is the only charity in the UK with specialist social workers dedicated to providing tailored psychosocial support to children and young people with cancer, and their families. They stop at nothing to make their voices heard and their unique needs understood, so they can get the right care and support at the right time.

As part of the Income Generation team, you'll be responsible for delivering the philanthropy strategy and building strong relationships with high-value donors and grant-making organisations.

You will also build donor pathways and provide exemplary stewardship to build long-lasting relationships with donors. As an expert in philanthropy, you'll have a high level of autonomy and will need to use your initiative to develop and drive forward opportunities.
About you
You are an experienced philanthropy fundraiser with excellent communication skills and a proven track record of securing significant grants.
