Building manager jobs in the angel, greater london
Greenhouse Sports is on a mission to change the lives of young people in poverty through the power of sport and mentoring.
Too many young people are being left behind. It’s not because they lack potential, but because poverty stacks the odds against them, affecting their education, mental health, and their future.
Our full-time Coach-Mentors work daily in schools in high-deprivation areas, significantly improving attendance, behaviour, wellbeing and life skills. Our Greenhouse Centre (re-opening in Autumn 2025 following refurbishment) provides year-round sport, mentoring and outreach for young people and communities who need it most.
The Deputy Director of Fundraising is a new role, as we work towards a step-change in income growth. The team currently generates £4m annually from major donors, trusts, institutions and businesses, plus an impressive array of special events raising an additional £1m per year. We know there is potential for more, and this role will drive forward a new strategy to help even more young people have a fair chance in life.
The role will report to the Director of Fundraising and Communications and will lead a team of 13 (with direct line management of 5).
The role will:
- Lead the fundraising strategy for income growth.
- Oversee all high-value fundraising streams generating £6m+ annually, ensuring cross-channel opportunities are maximised.
- Oversee the personal development of the fundraising staff, being an inspirational role model and leader.
- Work in close partnership with the Director of Fundraising and Communications, deputising as needed.
- Act as an ambassador for Greenhouse Sports and our mission, regularly representing us with partners, at events and sector activities.
- Proactively fundraise and manage relationships at an appropriate level, role modelling collaborative, ambitious approaches.
- Build meaningful relationships across the organisation, including with senior volunteers, impact and insight teams, research partners and coaching development teams.
The ideal candidate will have:
- Extensive experience of the fundraising mix, particularly philanthropy and fundraising events – or comparable experience from the commercial sector.
- Proven experience of leadership and strategy development.
- Experience working with 7-figure budgets.
- Able to provide and receive highly complex, sensitive and confidential information, and negotiate with senior stakeholders.
- Track record in successfully leading, motivating and developing teams.
The ideal candidate will be:
- Up for a challenge with the support and skill of an ambitious team around you.
- Brave, gritty and determined.
- Proactive, positive and solution-focused.
- Looking for an opportunity to be part of something that is bold and exciting.

What the job involves
We’re looking for an exceptional nurse to join the Specialist Nurses team at Prostate Cancer UK, part of our wider Support Services team that helps men and their loved ones to navigate the challenges of prostate cancer.
First and foremost, you’ll be providing invaluable information and support directly to men and their families via a range of channels, including telephone, email, webchat, and WhatsApp.
You’ll also work with other teams across the charity, ensuring that Prostate Cancer UK maintains a strong, credible clinical voice in all its activity. This will range from supporting men through webinars and classes, to delivering education sessions to health professionals, to reviewing health information resources, to supporting communications campaigns.
Please note that there is no face-to-face patient contact as part of this role, and the team’s remit is contained to information and support – not clinical advice.
You’ll be working Monday – Friday, with a hybrid working model. The service runs predominantly remotely, but periodical office attendance for collaborative work is expected.
Current daily shift patterns are 8.45am – 4.45pm or 9.15am – 5.15pm. The appointee will need to be available 8.45am – 5.15pm daily, as shift patterns are allocated based on service requirements.
What we want from you
You’ll be a registered nurse with solid experience at NHS Band 6, including recent work in either urology, oncology or palliative care looking after men with prostate cancer. You’ll bring excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to organise and prioritise your work effectively and flexibly. You’ll also be flexible and adaptable to meet the complex demands of this role. You’ll show willingness and proactivity to step away from frontline service delivery to support a range of wider charity activity. You’ll also be comfortable with remote working, both in terms of delivering information and support over the phone and working in a remote team.
As a Specialist Nurse, you’ll be committed, enthusiastic and compassionate – keen to apply your existing clinical experience and knowledge to provide information and support to those affected by prostate cancer and have the desire to develop new skills.
Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.
Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.
Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.
Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion
At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.
We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.
