Our University has a proud history of philanthropy stretching back to its foundation in 1900. With a clear vision to change the lives of the people of Birmingham, Joseph Chamberlain raised the funds required to build the University from citizens and corporations based locally and around the globe. Since then philanthropy has continued to play an important role in shaping the University. There have been a number of fundraising campaigns, including a £1m urgent capital appeal after the Second World War and a £1.4m campaign to fund the Vale ‘student village’ in the 1960s. In 2015 we closed the Circles of Influence Campaign, raising £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London.
DARO exists to support our academic and student community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities. The Office, which is comprised of five teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from alumni, organisations and individuals who are passionate about changing lives, through funding various research projects, supporting student bursaries, mentoring students, and providing internships, as well as providing a versatile programme of engagement opportunities for our global alumni community.
There is a rare opportunity to join the DARO Senior Leadership team at this exciting time in our current campaign.
We are looking for an Associate Director of Charitable Partnerships to maximise our enormous income generation potential; coach, nurture and challenge the well-established Charitable Partnerships team; and deliver a bold and innovative strategy to support this exciting campaign, raising significant gifts yourself from an established and growing portfolio. You will lead a team of expert trust and corporate fundraisers to work across the campus and deliver an institution-wide service to generate income, networks and influence from corporates, charities, trusts and foundations. You will be responsible for creating a motivational and supportive environment for your team with professional development opportunities for all members. You will maintain oversight of all significant charitable relationships, including your own portfolio, and be the first point of contact for the amazing opportunities in this space. As a key member of DARO’s Senior Leadership team you will help shape the strategic direction of the function and work collaboratively with other Associate Directors to take our campaign to the next level.
We believe there is no such thing as a 'typical' member of University of Birmingham staff and that diversity in its many forms is a strength that underpins the exchange of ideas, innovation and debate at the heart of University life. We are committed to proactively addressing the barriers experienced by some groups in our community and are proud to hold Athena SWAN, Race Equality Charter and Disability Confident accreditations. We have an Equality Diversity and Inclusion Centre that focuses on continuously improving the University as a fair and inclusive place to work where everyone has the opportunity to succeed. We are also committed to sustainability, which is a key part of our strategy.

Charity People is a forward thinking, inclusive organisation that actively and deliberately promotes equity, diversity and inclusion. We know organisations thrive when inclusion is at the forefront. We evidence our commitment by matching charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates irrespective of background e.g. age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we believe that greater diversity leads to greater results for the charities we work with.
Founded in 1823 by Samuel Codner as a mission to support English-speaking people in Newfoundland, the Intercontinental Church Society (ICS) has grown into a dynamic Anglican mission agency. For over two centuries, ICS has supported evangelism, church planting and chaplaincy across the globe, particularly among English-speaking people living, working or travelling outside their home countries.
With over 1.5 billion English speakers worldwide our mission is global, reflected by our chaplaincy congregations which are richly multinational.
We currently have 48 Mission Partners in 17 countries over 4 continents.
Our foundations are strong. We are financially stable, spiritually vibrant with a highly engaged Council and committed team.
We feel that the time is ripe to pursue growth. This is a watershed moment.
Under The Reverend Canon Richard Bromley’s leadership, as Mission Director, our governance, relationship with the Diocese of Europe and our partnership with our chaplaincies have been greatly strengthened.
In this season we are launching a new 10-year vision to plant 50 English-speaking Anglican churches in major cities and towns across Europe, to proclaim the gospel in culturally relevant ways, foster collaboration with other denominations and congregations, and become catalysts for further church plants.
We are now seeking to appoint a dynamic Mission Director as Richard’s successor.
This post is subject to an occupational requirement under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act that the post holder be a practising Christian.
You will be a Christian with a vibrant evangelical faith embracing a generous orthodoxy, with a breadth of senior strategic leadership experience in a cross-cultural Christian mission setting, pastoral and relationship building skills and compassion and wisdom to navigate the opportunities and challenges of the season ahead. You will also be passionate about our vision to reach people for Christ.

Make a Real Difference Where It Matters Most
Why Kingston Hospital Charity?
Because here, your work genuinely matters. Kingston Hospital Charity isn’t just another fundraising operation, it’s the driving force behind projects that transform patient care across Kingston and Richmond NHS Foundation Trust. From creating dementia friendly environments on Kingston Hospital’s care of the elderly wards to funding the introduction of robotic assisted surgery, the charity turns generosity into tangible change. They fund what the NHS isn’t able to, bringing comfort, dignity, and innovation to patients when they need it most - and they’re ambitious about scaling that impact even further.
The team has a clear plan: to sustainably grow income and build a supporter giving programme that delivers measurable impact for patients, creates meaningful experiences for donors, and nurtures genuine, lasting relationships through storytelling that truly resonates.
What Makes This Role Great
This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You’ll lead on gifts in wills and in-memory fundraising — with the freedom to shape and grow these income streams. Working alongside the Director and the Communications and Engagement Senior Manager, you’ll develop and deliver a three-year strategy that drives real change.
You’ll collaborate with dedicated clinical colleagues and passionate supporters who care deeply about the cause. And you’ll do it within an organisation that lives its values: compassion, inclusivity, collaboration, and a genuine commitment to helping every person thrive.
Hybrid working, a supportive team, and a culture that celebrates impact. It’s the kind of role that reminds you why you got into fundraising in the first place.
Who We’re Looking For
You have solid experience in gifts in wills, and/or in-memory fundraising — and a track record of developing strategies that meet (and exceed) targets. You’re confident communicating with everyone from solicitors to clinicians to supporters, tailoring your message to build trust and engagement.
Organised, adaptable, and purpose-driven, you believe that great fundraising changes lives — and you’re ready to prove it.

We work to improve the quality of care and experience of everyone who comes to Kingston Hospital or uses the services it provides across the community
