Guts UK is the only charity that covers the digestive system from top to tail, including the gut, the liver and the pancreas. The charity focuses particularly on the conditions that have no other specific charity or voice - conditions that are underserved, such as pancreatitis, diverticular disease, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), childhood gut and liver disease, and digestive cancers. With their mission being to improve the lives of the millions of people affected by digestive conditions, they are looking for their first Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager to help them reach that goal.

The Corporate Partnerships and Philanthropy Manager is responsible for developing and implementing plans to maximise income from corporate partners and high net worth individuals with the propensity to donate significant sums. There is huge scope to develop both income streams at Guts UK, as this is the first dedicated position covering these income streams.

With some fantastic corporate partnerships in place already, there is great potential to build on the existing foundations and leverage those corporate partnerships to secure more ranging from transactional right up to transformational.

The philanthropy function has green shoots to nurture and develop. This is an exciting role for a candidate who wants to grow and shape this income stream, and demonstrate their personal impact on generating income, and providing donors with an incredible supporter experience.

This specialist manager role would suit someone who is already operating at a senior fundraiser or manager level, or someone who can demonstrate experience of developing a corporate and/or major donor pipeline, creating operational plans and delivering income. Guts UK is a small charity with big ambition so a background that includes working within a smaller charity would be helpful for the candidate to have but isn't essential.

This is one role advertised twice to ensure candidates across both hybrid locations can apply. This role is hybrid with candidates happy to work a minimum of one day per week from the London or Hudderfield office welcome to apply. The London office address is 2 St Andrews Place, London. The Senior Fundraising Manager, Trusts and Foundations Manager and the Community and Events Manager work hybrid from the London office at St Andrews Place, with the Fundraising Administrator working from the Huddersfield office. 

If the successful candidate is based in London, there is an additional £2,000 London weighting to the advertised salary. 

Application notes 

Please download the Candidate Info Pack provided for further information about the role, timelines and next steps.

To progress your application, please contact THINK Recruitment to organise an informal call. Please note, we cannot shortlist candidates who have not had an initial call so please allow enough time to have a call before the closing date.

Closing date for applications: Midnight Monday 17th November 

Interviews are expected to be held on Tuesday 25th November in person.

About Us 

CleanupUK is a national charity that supports communities in tackling the problem of litter and strengthening community connections. We work directly with people in areas of need to help them clean up and care for their local environment through the creation and support of litter-picking hubs. 

Why Join Us? 

This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference for communities and the environment nationwide. You’ll be joining a friendly, flexible and supportive team that values your creativity and initiative at an exciting time, as we continue to grow our national reach and impact. 

Who We’re Looking For 

We’re seeking an experienced and creative Communications and Marketing Manager to join us on a fixed-term basis to cover maternity leave. You’ll be passionate about driving positive change in communities and the environment, with strong skills in storytelling and creating engaging content across social media, web and campaigns. You’ll know how to bring a national charity’s voice to life in a way that connects with local communities. 

You’ll be both strategic and hands-on, able to manage multiple projects and deadlines while adapting quickly to new opportunities and priorities. Organised and proactive, you’ll thrive working with diverse partners and stakeholders. Above all, you’ll share our commitment to community engagement, tackling inequality, and protecting the environment, using your skills to inspire and amplify voices.

Your work will be guided by our organisational objectives and annual communications work plan, with clear deliverables and milestones throughout the year. At the same time, you’ll need the flexibility and initiative to respond to the more reactive demands of the role — whether that’s capitalising on media opportunities, supporting partner activity, or responding to emerging issues and events. 

A key part of the role will be developing and delivering engaging social media content that reflects our position as a national charity with a strong community focus — finding creative ways to connect our national voice with local stories, volunteers, and impact at a hyper-local level. 

As our go-to person for communications, design, and content creation, you’ll bring a strong mix of digital, creative, and strategic skills, along with the confidence to manage multiple projects and relationships in a fast-paced environment. If you’re a skilled communicator with a flair for creativity and a passion for community engagement, tackling inequality, and protecting the environment, we’d love to hear from you.
