Campaign fundraising executive jobs

The Head of Communications, Campaigns and Awareness will be the driving force behind Neuroendocrine Cancer UK’s voice, visibility and influence. Leading our communications and engagement strategy, this role will shape how we connect with patients, supporters, healthcare professionals and the wider public - building powerful campaigns, growing awareness, and ensuring our message cuts through where it matters most.

At the heart of the organisation, you’ll bring energy, creativity and strategic direction to everything from national awareness activity to day-to-day storytelling. You’ll champion a clear, compelling narrative for NCUK, ensuring all communications are insight-led, mission-driven, and always centred around the experiences of patients and families affected by neuroendocrine cancer.

We’re looking for an ambitious, ideas-driven communications leader who thrives in a fast-moving environment and loves making things happen. A natural relationship-builder and confident self-starter, you’ll spot opportunities, inspire collaboration across teams, and turn complex messages into bold, engaging content and campaigns that deliver real impact.

This is a rare opportunity to shape the profile and future voice of a growing charity with big ambitions. One day you might be leading a major awareness campaign or securing media opportunities; the next, creating compelling digital content, supporting fundraising activity, or influencing strategic direction at senior level.

If you’re a creative thinker, a brilliant communicator, and someone who wants their work to genuinely change lives, we’d love to hear from you.

Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager — Go Beyond £35,000–£37,000 | Fully Remote | Permanent | Full-time

Go Beyond has given over 21,000 vulnerable children life-changing residential breaks since 1994. Young carers who spend their days looking after parents. Children living in poverty for whom a school holiday means hunger, not adventure. Children who've been bullied or bereaved and need a week away from their ordinary life.

The charity is entirely self-funded. £1.8 million a year, every penny raised by supporters. No government money. Which means the work this fundraising team does is directly and specifically what makes those breaks possible.

This is the role that sits at the heart of that.

What makes this moment unusual:

Go Beyond's flagship campaign, Ice Cream Moments, launches this summer — backed by Louis Theroux, James Acaster, David Gower and Jenny Agutter. The trustees want to go viral. A legacy programme is built and ready to launch. An alumni programme connecting with 21,000+ former beneficiaries is research-complete and waiting for someone to open the door. And a loyal supporter base of 200–300 regular givers — many of whom have been giving for over a decade — is generating £90,000 a year with almost no stewardship behind it.

Sara, the Director of Fundraising, describes what's needed like this: "Think of this as your own company. Think of this income stream as your domain — you could make it something amazing."

What the role involves:

The Supporter Engagement & Fundraising Communications Manager will own the supporter communications function end to end. This is a project management and strategy role — not an execution role. The doing sits with two direct reports and a network of freelancers. Your job is to build the plan, manage the team, deliver the campaigns and make sure the data tells you what's working.

In practice that means:

• Building and managing proper supporter journeys for regular givers, challenge event runners and Ice Cream Moments donors
• Project managing the full campaigns calendar — four annual appeals, Ice Cream Moments, challenge events, and a growing digital communications programme
• Developing and implementing a data strategy, setting up income dashboards and overseeing the CRM
• Launching the legacy programme and, in time, the alumni programme
• Managing two direct reports: a Digital Marketing Officer and a Data & Admin / Challenge Events Officer
• Writing an 18-month strategy with proper pipelines and income forecasts

What we're looking for:

This is not a pure fundraiser role or a pure marketing role. It's a hybrid — and the right person will see that as a feature, not a confusion.

• A track record of owning campaigns end to end — not being part of them, owning them. Specific examples, with dates, outputs and results
• Genuine data literacy — comfortable in a CRM, able to run queries, understand segmentation. Not expert-level, but curious enough that you're never caught out
• Financial awareness — you ask what the target is before anything else. You work backwards from an income number
• Hands-on as well as strategic — you can delegate and direct, but you can also do
• Strong project management — multiple workstreams, freelancers, deadlines you can't move

Charity sector experience is welcome but not essential. Commercial direct marketing, agency-side or individual giving backgrounds are all genuinely considered.

What Go Beyond offers:

• £35,000–£37,000 with annual pay review benchmarked to sector
• Fully remote — with the option to use Go Beyond's centres in Cornwall and Derbyshire
• 28 days holiday plus bank holidays
• Flexible working pattern that can include an early finish on Friday
• Management training through the British Growth Fund's six-week programme
• A collaborative, supportive team culture in a genuinely mission-driven organisation

This role will suit you if:

You're energised by building rather than maintaining. You want to own a function, not just a job title. You think in income as well as engagement. And you want to be part of something where the work — the campaigns, the supporter journeys, the data — is directly connected to a child getting a break they wouldn't otherwise have had.

This role is being recruited exclusively through Raise + Recruit, an independent executive search adviser specialising in the charity sector. All enquiries are handled in complete confidence — including from your current employer.

To find out more or to express interest, contact John Austin. No lengthy application process at this stage — a conversation is all it takes.

About Hope and Homes for Children

For over 30 years, hope has driven Hope and Homes for Children to fight for every child to grow up in the love of a safe, family home and to inspire the world to close the doors of orphanages forever.

Because orphanages harm children.

Across the world, millions of children are confined in institutions where they are isolated from their communities and denied the care they need to thrive. Many experience neglect. Too many experience violence. These systems are not designed around children; they are run as institutions, not families.

But this can change.

Hope and Homes for Children works with governments and partners to transform childcare systems, closing orphanages and supporting family and community-based care. This approach has already led to the dramatic reduction of institutional care in countries such as Romania, Bulgaria and Rwanda.

Our vision is undimmed: a world in which children no longer suffer in orphanages.

About the role

This is a mission-critical leadership role at the heart of Hope and Homes for Children’s global ambition.

As Director of Global Marketing, Communications and Fundraising, you will ensure the organisation is positioned as a catalyst for the global elimination of orphanages — and that this positioning drives significant, sustainable income growth.

You will lead a diverse global function spanning philanthropy, corporate partnerships, supporter development, campaigns and events, setting and delivering a multi-year strategy that strengthens brand, influence and financial resilience.

Your leadership will directly enable the organisation to accelerate progress towards ending the institutionalisation of children worldwide.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for an exceptional leader who combines strategic insight, entrepreneurial drive and a deep commitment to our mission.

You will bring significant senior experience across fundraising, marketing and communications, with a proven track record of growing income and building impactful partnerships in complex environments. You will be values-led and collaborative, with the credibility and presence to act as a senior ambassador for the organisation.

Above all, you will be motivated by the opportunity to deliver lasting change for children.

EDI at Hope and Homes for Children

We’re fully committed to working actively against all forms of discrimination and providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background.

We aim to provide an inclusive and empathetic environment where all staff feel that they can be their authentic selves, that they don’t need to change who they are to be accepted by others and that they are equally supported to achieve their potential.

Hope and Homes for Children actively encourages diversity, equity and inclusion and we look to recruit a diverse range of people to reflect the communities in which we live, as we believe this will strengthen our ability to deliver our mission of eliminating orphanages.

About Breaking the Cycle

Breaking the Cycle is an innovative access-to-banking programme led by Shelter, designed to help people with no fixed address take a vital step out of homelessness by gaining access to basic banking services.
