Exciting Job opportunity for an ambitious self-starter: we are looking for a Fundraising and Partnerships Manager.

The National House Project takes a ground-breaking approach through its commitment to enabling young people leaving care to achieve successful independence. The Project was co-designed with young people and works on cooperative principles through which adults and young people leaving care work together to refurbish properties that become their homes. We would like the successful candidate to be passionate about our work, with an ability to engage the young people our work reaches.

The first Local House Project was set-up in 2015 in Stoke-on-Trent with funding from the Dept for Education (DfE). We are a rapidly growing organisation with plans to develop nationally. We have developed an ambitious strategy to grow our fundraising; independently from the DfE, over the next five years. This role will involve the establishment and development of a new fundraising team (1 WTE initially). As our first fundraiser, the successful candidate will need to support the wider team to understand how their day-to-day roles will help with the growth of fundraising income. Working closely with our CEO, you will play a crucial role in our team, managing and implementing the National House Project’s fundraising strategy and overseeing our fundraising activity.

We are looking for a dynamic and creative, target driven individual who will work with our team to identify, develop and ‘package’ tangible projects to fundraise against, to drive the development of our fundraising. The post holder will bring their experience, skills and enthusiasm and develop exciting new opportunities. Naturally entrepreneurial, you will be a self-starter and strong communicator, with the ability to build effective and long-term relationships both internally and externally. You will have proven experience of inspiring and motivating donors and fundraising partners, enabling them to maximise all fundraising activities and deliver great results.

The post covers a wide remit of fundraising activities including Major Giving, Corporate Supporters and grant giving Trust and Foundations. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with proven experience in securing four to six figure sums from major donor and/or corporate sources.  An understanding and appreciation of the importance of donor cultivation and stewardship is key.

The fundraising team will be supported by our administrative staff, and external fundraising and marketing & communications consultants initially, whilst we seek to embed our newly developed fundraising strategy. As the team grows, this new role offers exciting progression routes involving both line management and hands-on delivery across Major Giving, Corporate supporters and grant giving Trusts & Foundations. 

You will be based at the NHP office in Crewe a minimum of 2 days per week. While your remaining time will be flexible, you will be expected to travel to Local House Projects and attend meetings with donors and partners across the country on a regular basis.

Application is by CV and covering letter. There is no application form. In your letter, please tell us how you meet the person specification which can be found in the attached application pack.

The interview process will take place in two stages, with first stage interviews taking place via zoom on 14th December 2020. Face to face second stage interviews will then take place on 18th December 2020 at our Head Office in Crewe (if government covid-19 guidelines allow).

What Is F4S?

F4S opens the eyes of young people the life chances open to them, by connecting them to thousands of professionals with inspirational stories to tell and experience to share.

Teachers and professionals from across the UK have brokered over 1,200,000 student- employer encounters with F4S, inspiring young people, helping them understand what skills are needed to improve their employability.

At our core, we are developing meaningful and direct connections between professionals, teachers, and young people, in particular those from more disadvantaged areas.

Our platform for young people aged 6-18, the Educator Service, provides a GPS system with recommendations to guide educators and young people to search for, and request professionals to offer inspirational engagements, which open the minds of children across the UK. Like amazon and booking com but with people rather than books or hotels.

Evolved with over five years of experience, the platform includes a recommendation engine, which guides the educator and young people to select the most appropriate professional to help them take steps along their journey to fulfilling lives.

Arguably our most powerful services are our deep analytics services, which provide a high and low-level oversight of our engagements to a variety of stakeholders from parent to government.

Life at F4S

We are hugely ambitious for F4S and our strategy is to deepen and broaden the number of young people whose lives he touch across the UK, so it is a strategy for growth.

When it comes to 'work hours', it is a core belief that putting in a consistent level of effort that you can be proud of is a much better metric than hours logged against the clock. 

You want to work at F4S because you realised how school was so disconnected from the real world. You believe that there is a better way to make students excited about their future and help them enjoy and fulfil productive lives. You believe that schools can use technology to change what they do from the inside-out.

You are an experienced project manager and pride yourself to deliver projects on time and on budget? You are a strong collaborator and an expert in delivering against KPIs and reporting progress to stakeholders? You have outstanding communication skills? 

If you have the skills to effectively help F4S to develop and deliver powerful projects supporting our mission, then I look forward to working with you.

About No Isolation

Everyday technology, from smartphones to computers, have helped build bridges across the world, and have brought people closer together. However this fails to capture those left behind; the elderly or those for whom modern tools aren’t specifically designed, who are also more prone to social isolation.

This is felt even more acutely during the current pandemic. We are looking for an exceptional senior health specialist to join our UK team, to play an instrumental role in getting our technology to those who need it most.

• Sales negotiations
• Training workshops

In addition you will be involved in:

• Market research and promotional strategy
• Customer feedback and product development input

This role is the first of several roles in a dedicated KOMP UK team that will join our current UK team that specialises on our other product, the AV1 telepresence robot for unwell children. The person who fills this Business Developer role will eventually specialise in an area within the KOMP UK team.

Who are you?

You are genuinely passionate about reducing social isolation. You are proactive. You are an all-rounder with a versatile skill set.

You have an understanding of the NHS funding flow, CCGs and public sector procurement process, or a willingness to learn. Ideally you have experience working within the care industry.

Our company vision is for there to be no social isolation; we want our teams to consist of a wide range of perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds so that we can better achieve our vision.
