Exciting Job opportunity for an ambitious self-starter: we are looking for a Fundraising and Partnerships Manager.
The National House Project takes a ground-breaking approach through its commitment to enabling young people leaving care to achieve successful independence. The Project was co-designed with young people and works on cooperative principles through which adults and young people leaving care work together to refurbish properties that become their homes. We would like the successful candidate to be passionate about our work, with an ability to engage the young people our work reaches.
The first Local House Project was set-up in 2015 in Stoke-on-Trent with funding from the Dept for Education (DfE). We are a rapidly growing organisation with plans to develop nationally. We have developed an ambitious strategy to grow our fundraising; independently from the DfE, over the next five years. This role will involve the establishment and development of a new fundraising team (1 WTE initially). As our first fundraiser, the successful candidate will need to support the wider team to understand how their day-to-day roles will help with the growth of fundraising income. Working closely with our CEO, you will play a crucial role in our team, implementing the National House Project’s fundraising strategy and overseeing all our fundraising activity.
We are looking for a dynamic and creative individual who can bring their experience, skills and enthusiasm to develop exciting new opportunities. You will be a self-starter and strong communicator, with the ability to build effective and long-term relationships both internally and externally. You will have proven experience of inspiring and motivating donors and fundraising partners, enabling them to maximise all fundraising activities and deliver great results.
The post covers a wide remit of fundraising activities including Major Giving, Corporate Supporters and grant giving Trust and Foundations. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with experience in securing donations from major donor and/or corporate sources. An understanding and appreciation of the importance of donor cultivation and stewardship is key.
The fundraising team will be supported by our administrative staff, and external fundraising and marketing & communications consultants initially, whilst we seek to embed our newly developed fundraising strategy. As the team grows, this new role offers exciting progression routes involving both line management and hands-on delivery across Major Giving, Corporate supporters and grant giving Trusts & Foundations.
You will be based at the NHP office in Crewe a minimum of 2 days per week. While your remaining time will be flexible, you will be expected to travel to Local House Projects and attend meetings with donors and partners across the country on a regular basis.
Application is by CV and covering letter. There is no application form. In your letter, please tell us how you meet the person specification which can be found in the attached application pack.
Interviews will take place via zoom on Friday 12th February 2021. Please make sure you are available on this date.

We’re looking a confident, organised and proactive person to join our established team delivering Children & Young People services across the South East. You will be working with both Young Carers and children and young people with mild to moderate disabilities in the Dover district.
You will manage an existing caseload and new referrals, meeting families and young people in their own homes and in schools to complete assessments and care plans.
Using the Young Carer service toolkit, you will provide short-term interventions to support Young Carers to improve their resilience, educational chances and wellbeing. This might include signposting to local and community services, action planning, one-to-one support, respite activities or our 12-month workshop programme, as well as making referrals to a range of professionals, including health and social care, ensuring whole family needs are met and reducing the impact of caring on the young person.
You will also deliver the Short Breaks programme of after school café-style groups (8-15 years), Saturday Clubs (15-19 years) and school holiday trips for children and young people with disabilities. You will plan, organise and risk assess group activities that support personal development, and promote independence, community engagement and social activities. We want the young people taking part to have opportunities to try new things, make friends and have fun!
You will schedule your time to ensure to meet targets and complete tasks to a high standard across both services. It is expected that you will keep excellent records and keep in regular communication with families to build trusted relationships. You will respond to challenging and complex situations in line with our Safeguarding and Lone Working Policies.
A key aspect of this role is to raise awareness and promote the service so you will attend events, meet with professionals, deliver presentations and develop wider networks.
This role involves evening and weekend work and requires the applicant to hold a full driving licence and their own car. You will also be expected to drive a minibus and full training will be provided.

About Farms for City Children
Farms for City Children is a vibrant Charity that welcomes children from cities and disadvantaged communities to experience the adventure of working together on our farms in the heart of the British countryside. Whether they stay for a whole week with their school or come with a local group for a day visit, this unique experience can be life changing. Visiting children are immersed in the natural world of food, farming and countryside life where they participate in the seasonal tasks of the day: sowing, growing and harvesting in our kitchen gardens; caring for livestock and looking after the land; and cooking up a home-grown feast in the farmhouse kitchen. Spending time working alongside real farmers fosters children’s independence and helps them to grow in confidence, develops their self-esteem, and encourages them to become more resilient. At our heritage farms and in partnership with our commercial farming neighbours, children experience the benefits of collaboration, enjoy plenty of physical activity, good food, and fresh air, and discover the magical rural environment that is full of new words, sounds and experiences to inspire their creativity.
In more usual years, Farms for City Children welcomes 3,000 children for a week-long stay on our farms. With the disruption caused by the Covid19 crisis we have been unable to operate residential visits since March 2019 but have expanded our offer to also include day-visits for local groups, allowing us to reach beneficiaries and deliver charitable services. The Charity generates grants and donations to subsidise 60% of all visits, making it as affordable and accessible as possible for all children.
About this role
We are looking for a dynamic, innovative, and energetic Head of Finance and Resources who is looking for a challenging and busy role with the opportunity to lead significant change. A passion for what we do and a belief in the overarching mission of our Charity is essential. As a key member of the Senior Leadership Team and working closely with the Chief Executive this role has a vital and central part to play in ensuring the Charity continues to thrive. The successful candidate will have an equivalent level of seniority in their current role and excellent technical accounting skills having worked their way up through the various level of finance functions over at least 10 years. The role has a broad scope that also includes oversight of the HR, governance, and administration functions, so demonstrable experience of working across these areas would be a significant asset. A practical understanding of all aspects of a busy finance function gained in a similar-sized organisation is crucial, as is a thorough understanding of Charity SORP, a strategic approach, and the ability to communicate financial information effectively and clearly to non-finance colleagues. This is a practical, hands-on role heading up a small and busy team, with around 40% of time working directly on transactional financial tasks and the remaining 60% on strategic leadership, financial forecasting, and management of a robust finance function. Adaptability, flexibility and an enquiring mind with the ability to see beyond the day to day and strive for continuous improvement is key in this role.
This role will be based at our Huxham Barns offices outside of Exeter, Devon. Due to the Covid19 restrictions our Huxham Barns staff are currently working remotely with access to the office for essential tasks and facilities only. It is anticipated that all staff at Huxham Barns will return to the office when it is safe to do so.
The successful candidate will be required to travel to each of our farms at least twice each term for face-to-face meetings with farms teams.
Some flexible working will be considered for this role provided the role does not go below 33.75 hours per week (0.9 FTE).
The successful candidate must have the ability to travel between all four remotely located sites, across Devon, Pembrokeshire and Gloucestershire, with expense for travel reimbursed by the Charity.
All appointments are subject to the receipt of two satisfactory references, evidence of the existing proof of right to work in the UK, and a satisfactory DBS check prior to the start date.
To apply please email us with an up-to-date CV and a supporting statement clearly detailing how you meet the person specification. Closing date for applications is midday on 27 January 2021. First interviews will take place during week commencing 1 February.
