Do you have your fingers on the business pulse of the East Midlands? Do you have an excellent network of corporate contacts who would love to give back to their local hospitals after a year unlike any other?

If so, you could be just the person we are looking for.

There is an exciting opportunity at Nottingham Hospitals Charity to be our new Corporate Fundraising Manager.

Interviews: week commencing 23rd August

We have an exciting opportunity for two highly motivated and enthusiastic candidates to join the Foothold fundraising & communications team working remotely from home.

We’re ideally looking for one person to focus on developing our individual giving and legacy income, and a second person to lead on corporate and community/challenge events income. This can be flexible dependant on experience and interests.

You’ll be joining a team of 5 fundraising and marketing professionals working proactively to raise income and awareness of Foothold across the engineering sector.

We have around 42,000 wonderful fundraising supporters who you’ll work alongside to develop long term relationships, whilst proactively developing new relationships and partnerships to benefit Foothold.

These are newly created roles and there is the opportunity to truly make your mark. To find out more about Foothold and the roles download the candidate information pack.

About Foothold:

We may not know much about engineering, but we do know engineers. We’ve been supporting IET (Institution of Engineering and Technology) members and their families since 1890.

We understand people and we understand how life can be at work and at home. It’s unpredictable, complex, demanding. Amidst the busyness of our lives we often forget that being well is just as important as doing well.

More of us are feeling stressed in our jobs. One in four of us will have a mental health problem this year. More of us are living longer. Our health needs are growing yet we have a shortage of carers. Rising costs are forcing living standards down. And we’re facing a loneliness epidemic.

We all need to start taking better care of one another, because we all need a little support from time to time. Even engineers.

We’re here so engineers and their families never need to face life’s challenges without support. We want engineers across the world to feel supported in all aspects of their lives and to feel that it’s OK to ask for that support. We want them to be healthy and able to stand on their own two feet. We want them to feel looked after but also empowered by their professional community.

Funded by engineers, for engineers, Foothold is here for engineers and the people who matter to them most. Whatever the problem, big or small.

Reprieve is a UK charity founded in 1999.  Reprieve uses strategic interventions to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.

Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. Thus, Reprieve promotes and protects the rights of those facing the death penalty and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.

Reprieve’s main office is in London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to beneficiaries, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

Reprieve has ambitious and exciting plans towards realising our vision for the world, and the Development and Outreach Team is responsible for ensuring we have the funds needed to achieve our goals. The Grants Fundraising Officer will be directly responsible for developing a pipeline of prospective funders and generating new income from trusts, foundations and statutory bodies (with a focus on the US and in Europe), whilst managing and maximising a portfolio of grant relationships and building the profile of Reprieve and our partners through applications to relevant awards.

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser with a strong track-record of successful applications to charitable trusts, foundations, and statutory bodies, and someone with the professionalism, energy, creativity and drive to seek out and make the most of funding opportunities. You do not necessarily require experience in raising funds for human rights causes, but you do need to be able to rapidly get to grips with Reprieve’s key areas of work and the impact we seek to achieve, and be able to articulate this to donors in a way that is accessible, accurate and compelling.

The Development and Outreach Team is a small and close-knit team, so you will need to be both self-sufficient and a team player. You will regularly collaborate with people across Reprieve, from caseworkers, to the finance team and operations, as well as local partners and fellows. You will be an excellent communicator with a passion for Reprieve, and the willingness to muck in on all tasks big or small in order to ensure that Reprieve is in the best position possible to keep delivering justice and saving lives.  

For full details and information on how to apply please see the job description. 

Background

There are currently over 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, and this is expected to increase to 1.1 million by 2025, and 2 million by 2050.

In response to this Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions people need. The unique dementia expertise and experience an Admiral Nurse brings is a lifeline - it helps everyone in the family to live more positively with dementia in the present, and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.

The charity has seen significant income growth over the past five years. Despite Covid-19, we have had our most successful fundraising year to date and we have ambitious plans to maintain this growth so we can significantly increase the number of Admiral Nurses, and the specialist support they provide.

Community Fundraising will play a key part in this expansion, as a key income stream for the charity. The charity is very invested in community fundraising and there is a great deal of support for the team (and post holders) to help them continue this growth. This is a great opportunity for someone to have a real impact and make their mark across their region, raising vital funds and awareness.

Purpose of Job

To manage and proactively develop relationships with supporters - including community groups, corporate organisations and individuals in your region. To deliver outstanding stewardship and focus on the highest value and highest potential opportunities, to ensure sustainable long term income for Dementia UK.

As part of our commitment to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, we shortlist on the basis of responses to the application questions only. Although we need a CV, it will not be used to shortlist and so candidates need to make sure they fully answer the questions.
