This role will be further critical in creating a climate and culture which enables our people to realise their potential within a supportive, safe, continuous improvement and learning environment, conducive to positive levels of health and well-being.

This is a true leadership role where the postholder will be expected to work well under pressure, manage their own workload to achieve objectives and demonstrate the highest standards of integrity, leadership and fairness at all times. The postholder will be able to effectively coach, manage and motivate staff to reach their full potential and uphold our organisational values.

What you’ll need to be successful

To achieve the above, we’re looking for a talented, confident, and experienced Head of Fundraising with a proven track record of building and growing a corporate fundraising function and achieving excellent standards of fundraising.

You’ll be passionate about continuous improvement, suggesting new and/or better ways of working which are supported by clear evidence. You’ll be fluent in articulating these ideas in a positive and supportive way, achieving buy-in at all levels.

You’ll have excellent communication and engagement skills, with the ability to adapt your style to suit the audience in front of you.
