Job description

**Please note: Hybrid (1dpw, flexible) with regular hospice presence (Birmingham)**

Supporting over 750 children and nearly 1,000 families annually, Acorns Children’s Hospice is a vital lifeline for families across the West Midlands and Gloucestershire during unimaginably difficult times.

Palliative care for children aged 0–18 is delivered at Acorns’ hospices in Birmingham (serving Birmingham and Warwickshire), Worcester (serving Herefordshire, Worcestershire, and Gloucestershire), and Walsall (serving the Black Country and parts of Staffordshire and Shropshire), as well as in family homes and other community settings. Acorns’ holistic, tailored approach is designed to meet each child’s clinical, emotional, cultural, religious, and spiritual needs.

Corporate fundraising at Acorns is on an exciting growth journey, with ambitions to increase income from £800K to £1M in the next two years. The team is known for its creativity and drive, and the charity has built strong partnerships with high-profile brands including Aston Villa FC, Pinsent Masons, and Tippers. This is an environment where innovation, strategy, and genuine relationship-building all come together to create meaningful, long-term partnerships.

This role offers a warm and well-developed patch, a supportive team culture, and space to be creative in how you grow and uplift corporate partnerships. You’ll be the lead relationship manager for a portfolio of established partners across Birmingham and the Black Country, focusing on stewardship, renewals, and smart uplifts.

While the focus is primarily account management (around 75%), you’ll also contribute to new business through activities like COTY pitches. You’ll work closely with the Business Development Manager and be line-managed by a detail-oriented and flexible leader who fosters autonomy, progression, and innovation. Expect variety, visibility, and the chance to make a genuine impact.

As Corporate Fundraising Manager, you will:

  • Lead the stewardship and growth of existing corporate partnerships, using creative and strategic methods to increase value and longevity
  • Manage a portfolio of supporters, including warm relationships 
  • Represent Acorns at events and lead hospice tours to deepen supporter engagement
  • Collaborate with the Business Development Manager on new business opportunities
  • Take an active role in planning and delivering key corporate events, such as golf days and black-tie dinners
  • Contribute to cultivation plans for senior leaders within corporate partners
  • Use data and insight to report on progress and inform partnership development

Ideal skills and experience:

  • Strong corporate fundraising or account management background, ideally with experience managing partnerships in the £30K–£50K+ range
  • Confident steward and communicator, able to build rapport and deliver excellent supporter journeys
  • Strategic thinker with a flair for finding growth opportunities within existing partnerships
  • Comfortable pitching and presenting to corporate audiences at all levels
  • Excellent organiser who can juggle competing priorities, meet deadlines, and maintain attention to detail
  • Willingness to work out-of-hours at events and maintain regular hospice presence
  • Dynamic, creative, and solutions-focused, with a collaborative mindset and passion for Acorns’ mission

Benefits include:

  • 27 days annual leave plus bank holidays (5 days holiday buyback scheme starting from April 2026)
  • 7.5% employer pension contribution
  • Life assurance scheme (2 x annual salary)
  • Retail discounts (including the Blue Light card)
  • Cycle to work scheme
  • Discounted gym membership
  • Access to expert financial health and wellbeing support
