The Philanthropy Officer is an essential role within Amref UK's Supporter Engagement Team. It combines fundraising, supporter care, prospect research, event management and administration – with a focus on delivering our philanthropy strategy to increase unrestricted income. You will play a key role in supporting the team to raise income from small Trusts & Foundations, Mid-Level Donors and Legacy gifts, assisting the Philanthropy Manager with account management of existing donors as well as prospect research.

This role is about proactively building excellent relationships both in person and virtually, requiring confidence, a positive outlook, and the ability to work collaboratively. Previous experience in donor stewardship or relationship management is essential. You’ll be a fast learner with excellent interpersonal and organisational skills, keen take on new challenges, excited about working in international development and invested in Amref’s mission. This is an exciting opportunity to gain experience in high-value fundraising, learning a range of skills from prospect researching, supporter stewardship to organising donor events. 

Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting a beloved national children’s charity in their search for a Special Events Fundraiser to join a high-performing and collaborative fundraising team.

This is a rare opportunity to work on a small portfolio of high-impact, relationship-led events within one of the UK’s largest charities. Unlike many events roles, this position focuses far more on donor engagement and stewardship than high-volume logistics or delivery targets.

The role sits within the organisation’s high value fundraising team, helping to design and deliver events that deepen relationships with major supporters and provide meaningful insight into the charity’s work protecting children.

You will lead on a small portfolio of around 4–5 events each year, which may include policy-led engagement events, CEO dinners and intimate gala events designed to bring supporters closer to the charity’s mission.

These events are thoughtfully curated experiences rather than large-scale mass participation activities, making this a particularly appealing opportunity for someone who enjoys creating meaningful supporter moments and building relationships through events.

The role is led by an exceptional Head of team and a highly regarded line manager, within a supportive and collaborative fundraising culture.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing and delivering a portfolio of high-quality engagement and stewardship events for high value supporters
• Designing events that help donors better understand the charity’s impact and deepen long-term relationships
• Working closely with fundraising colleagues to ensure events support broader stewardship and engagement plans
• Managing budgets and external suppliers to ensure events are delivered effectively and creatively
• Building relationships with senior volunteers, supporters and internal stakeholders to maximise engagement
• Evaluating events and identifying opportunities to continuously enhance supporter experience

This role would suit someone who:

• Has experience delivering special events, engagement events or donor stewardship events
• Enjoys the relationship-building side of events fundraising, not just logistics
• Has strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Is creative and able to develop engaging event concepts and experiences
• Ideally has some exposure to high value or major donor audiences

This organisation offers excellent flexibility, including just one day per week in the office, as well as options such as compressed hours or a four-day week.

This role would be less suited to candidates coming purely from challenge events or mass participation events, and particularly appealing to someone who enjoys smaller, more strategic events that build long-term supporter relationships.

Closing date: 12th March
Interviews: 16th, 17th or 18th March (online, one stage)

The Interim Chief Executive will work closely with the Board, staff and partners to ensure Sahir continues to deliver safe, effective and person-centred services, maintains strong relationships and remains financially and operationally secure.

We are happy to discuss reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process.

We are looking for someone who sees communications and development as a strategic act — someone who understands that brand, partnership, advocacy and fundraising are interwoven.

We would like to hear from candidates with significant senior experience in communications, marketing and brand guardianship, ideally in the arts or creative industries; experience of driving engaging storytelling with creative flair and strategic purpose; and a proven track record of stakeholder engagement and external relations within a charity, cultural or non-profit organisation, developing and implementing strategies that grow visibility, engagement and income. 

You’ll also bring experience of working at a senior leadership level, leading teams in the delivery of high quality, impactful campaigns – along with excellent interpersonal and communication skills; a proven ability to successfully build and maintain stakeholder relationships; a positive, proactive, and solution-focused approach; and a genuine interest in the arts and culture.

As Healthcare Improvement Officer, you’ll play a central role in making sure our programmes run smoothly and have maximum impact. You’ll oversee on the logistics and delivery of events across the UK and online, from our Clinical Champions Programme and Clinical Advisory Group meetings to our annual healthcare professional conference. You’ll also oversee recruitment for programmes, manage databases and monitoring systems, and handle financial processes such as invoices and purchase orders, ensuring everything is delivered on time and to a high standard. 

Your work will range from planning and scheduling programmes, to procuring resources, preparing materials and helping to facilitate sessions so that participants are fully supported in their learning. You’ll also contribute to quality improvement project development and coordination, working with teams across Prostate Cancer UK to share good practice and expand the reach of our initiatives. 

Engagement will be a key part of your role, from maintaining webpages and digital channels to supporting our alumni network through newsletters, communications and opportunities for continued involvement. You’ll help manage our online Clinical Champions learning hub and, with training provided, will also have the chance to coach and mentor clinicians using Insights Discovery (a psychometric tool helping people understand their own and others' behavioural preferences and communication styles).  

What we want from you 

We’re looking for someone who’s highly organised, comfortable working with people and able to keep several projects moving at once. Strong communication skills are essential, both written and verbal, with the ability to adapt your style to suit different audiences, from clinicians to colleagues across the organisation. 

You’ll bring experience in event planning and support, along with project coordination, and you’ll be comfortable managing webpages and creating online content. The role involves building and maintaining strong relationships with a range of stakeholders, including healthcare professionals, colleagues and senior leaders, so collaboration will be second nature to you. 

An understanding of the healthcare and/or charity sectors will be valuable, as will experience in presenting and facilitating discussions. You’ll also need excellent organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise effectively when things get busy. 

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.

How and where we work

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.
