What You Bring:

A gift for building trust with people who may be wary or have been let down.
-
Experience supporting people with complex lives or who’ve been marginalised.
-
Real understanding of poverty, disadvantage, and what it takes to recover and grow.

Creativity, flexibility, and a people-first mindset.
-
Confidence to share your story, listen deeply, and connect human-to-human.
-
You Are:
-
Hopeful, curious, and driven by the belief that everyone has something to offer.
-
Resilient and realistic — not fazed by slow progress or messy paths.
-
Brave and willing to ask for help, for yourself and others.
-
A great communicator who can inspire action and bring people together.
-
Someone who thrives in collaboration and values learning every step of the way.

About Leeds Community Foundation and GiveBradford
Through flexible and responsive grant making, we enable and strengthen community organisations that are the backbone of our city, because when they thrive, so do our communities – and all of us benefit.
Leeds Community Foundation oversees four distinct charities, including Bradford District Community Foundation (GiveBradford). This means we have separate trustees responsible for our work in Leeds and in Bradford and can develop complementary but distinct strategies to make the most of partnerships at national and regional levels alongside appealing to donors with a specific passion of place.
For over 20 years, we’ve been helping donors invest and distribute more than £65 million to benefit communities across our city and the wider region where it can make the most difference, and we hold about £50m philanthropic capital on behalf of a wide range of donors at any one time.
As a trusted partner to businesses, foundations and professional advisors, we’ve delivered countless strategic giving programmes with life-changing outcomes.
Now, more than ever, our communities need us. With growing social, economic and climate pressures, grassroots community organisations have never been more vital, but with demand soaring and resources stretched, they’ve never been at greater risk. That’s why we’ll continue to develop partnerships, invest where it’s needed and build a fairer future, together.
About the role
Sitting on Leeds Community Foundation’s senior leadership team, the Director of Philanthropy and Partnerships will develop a new income generation strategy, focusing on high-value, sustainable philanthropy, and a new proactive Communications strategy showcasing the Foundation as the go-to place for philanthropy in Leeds and Bradford.
