About the Role
This is not your typical management role.
We are looking for someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity, building trusted relationships and finding practical solutions to difficult challenges. Reporting to the Head of Faculties, you will lead the strategic and operational delivery of three of our six Faculties, working with world leading surgeons and healthcare professionals who generously volunteer their time to advance surgical education and, ultimately, improve patient care across the world.
You will also lead and develop a small, high performing team comprising a Faculty Development Lead, A Faculty Coordinator and shared support from a Coordinator and an Administrator. As a people leader, you will create an environment where colleagues feel supported, empowered and able to do their best work. Balancing day to day operational delivery with longer term development and continuous improvement.
No two days are the same. One morning you might be advising a Faculty Chair on governance matter. By lunchtime
you could be developing a business case for a new educational initiative, supporting your team through a challenging piece of work, or troubleshooting an unexpected operational problem. In the afternoon, you may be leading a cross College project, bringing together colleagues from across departments to deliver a new service, improve member experience or develop innovative ways of supporting our Faculties. Success in this role comes from working collaboratively across the organisation, building strong relationships and bringing people together around shared goals.
This is a role for someone who enjoys variety, thinks strategically but is not afraid to roll up their sleeves, and can switch confidently between coaching a colleague, influencing senior stakeholders, leading collaborative projects and solving practical problems.
You will be joining a supportive leadership team that values curiosity, collaboration and continuous improvement. We believe in giving people the autonomy to lead, the support to develop and the opportunity to shape how our Faculties evolve.
About You
We are looking for someone with sound judgement and a collaborative approach. Rather than having all the answers, we are seeking someone who asks insightful questions, draws on the expertise of others, and helps the team reach the best possible outcomes.
You will be someone who enjoys figuring things out, remains calm when priorities change and is comfortable making decisions in situations where there is not always a clear way forward. You build trust quickly, communicate with tact and diplomacy, and know how to influence without relying on authority.
You will bring experience of leading and developing teams, managing complex stakeholder relationships and delivering projects or services in a professional, membership, healthcare, education or charity environment. We are just as interested in how you work as where you have worked.
We are particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:
· Exceptional relationship building skills and emotional intelligence.
· Experience of leading complex projects involving colleagues from multiple teams, bringing people together to deliver shared outcomes
· A collaborative leadership style that develops people, builds partnerships across teams and brings others with you
· A good understanding of financial management, financial analysis and commercial drivers.
· The ability to assess financial implications and support informed decision making.
· The resilience to remain calm and constructive in complex or sensitive situations.
· Strong problem solving skills and the confidence to make sound decisions.
· The ability to balance competing priorities while maintaining high standards.
· Excellent judgement, tact and diplomacy when working with senior professionals and volunteers.
· Change leadership and organisational development
· A collaborative leadership style that develops people and brings others with you.
· Curiosity, adaptability and a genuine desire to continuously improve services.
· Experience of working in an intercultural context would be a useful advantage.
If you have read this advert and are excited by the opportunity but do not meet every single criterion, we would still encourage you to apply. We know that great people do not always tick every box, and we are committed to supporting talented individuals to grow into the role.
What matters most is your attitude, values and potential. We are looking for someone who is curious, resilient, adaptable and motivated by making a difference.
Looking to the Future
As our Faculties continue to evolve, so too does our approach to supporting them. We are actively developing the capabilities of our team to ensure we can deliver increasingly innovative, insight driven and member focused services.
Alongside the core skills and experience needed for this role, you will have the opportunity to develop expertise in areas such as:
· AI literacy and practical application of emerging technologies
· Workflow automation and process improvement
· Data visualisation, using insight to support decision making
· Service design and continuous improvement
· Systems thinking and designing sustainable solutions
You do not need to be an expert in all of these areas from day one. What matters most is your curiosity, willingness to learn and enthusiasm for helping shape the future of the Faculties function.
Please note that we do not accept CVs and agencies need not apply.
To be a strong voice for our family of members, developing their careers, upholding standards, and promoting patient safety globally.

PURPOSE OF ROLE
Major donors and philanthropists are currently responsible for over a quarter of Caudwell Youth’s annual income – due in part to the generosity of the networks of our founder, John Caudwell.
As Caudwell Youth enters its fourth year, we are seeking a Senior Philanthropy and Corporate Partnerships manager to help us expand beyond our strong founder-led base into a sustainable major donor and corporate supporter portfolio.
Proactive and commercially-minded, you will be confident driving and developing all stages of the major donor and corporate supporter stewardship process. Confidence in engaging in new business research, prospecting, initial meetings and pitches is a must, as you will be responsible for growing our small pipeline of supporters and warm prospects into a long-term income stream.
This is essential to Caudwell Youth’s future sustainability, with corporate partnerships and major donor income currently making up 30% of Caudwell Youth’s annual fundraising income (forecast to be around £450,000 this year).
Our ambition is to increase this revenue stream by around 50% to over £800,000 by 2030, in order to support more at-risk young people from across the UK, as set out in our recently launched strategy, Going National.
This is a role for a self-starter who is excited to drive high value growth and be a key part of Caudwell Youth’s upward trajectory, working within a small but dynamic fundraising team. It offers significant opportunity to shape and lead this area of fundraising as it grows.
You will be an experienced fundraiser with a proven track record of securing major gifts of four, five and six figure gifts, familiarity with managing corporate partnerships and evidence of growing and developing new pipelines and revenue streams.
You will own a significant portion of this income stream, with responsibility for securing new high-value relationships and growing existing supporters.
KEY DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES
Operating at a senior level within the fundraising team, this role will take the lead across Caudwell Youth’s philanthropic and corporate giving.
Working closely with the Fundraising Director to drive income growth and strategic development, your key duties will include:
MAJOR DONORS & PHILANTHROPISTS
You will manage a mixed portfolio of existing supporters and warm prospects, while building a pipeline of new high-value opportunities. To do this, you will:
- Take personal responsibility for securing, retaining and growing high-value (four, five and six figure) gifts and philanthropic partnerships, by engaging in detailed prospect research and building contacts with high-net-worth individuals and their intermediaries to create a pipeline of new opportunities.
- Provide a high-quality supporter stewardship experience to Caudwell Youth’s existing major donors and philanthropists and warm prospects, tailoring this to their wishes to create a unique journey for each donor which seeks to deepen their engagement with the charity. This may include:
- Personalised reporting
- Bespoke communications
- Face-to-face meetings and events
- Unique ways to be consulted on and engage with our work
- Opportunities to be recognised.
- Lead on the continued growth, development and stewardship of Caudwell Youth’s Oracles fundraising board in order to maximise its annual revenue.
- Support John Caudwell’s Charity Pioneer with the stewardship of existing and potential Life Changers Circle donors, including through hosting cultivation and network events.
CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS AND FUNDRAISING
- Develop our corporate support pipeline, seeking to strengthen connections with existing corporate donors. This will include developing partnerships typically in the £10,000 - £100,000+ range through CSR, fundraising and sponsorship opportunities which align with Caudwell Youth’s values.
- Work with major donors and philanthropists, colleagues across the charity, volunteers and other stakeholders and contacts to proactively identify new corporate fundraising opportunities for Caudwell Youth.
- Work on Charity of the Year applications, pitches and proposals in conjunction with the Senior Leadership Team and representatives from volunteering and operations as required.
- Act as an account manager and first point of contact for corporate supporters of Caudwell Youth, coming up with tailored programmes of supporter engagement to maximise their fundraising, increase connection with our cause and engage them in strategic multi-year support partnerships.
- Supported by our Supporter Engagement Coordinator, encourage our corporate donors, major donors and philanthropists to meaningfully engage with our challenge fundraising programme.
- Review our existing Torchrunners model as a means of engaging corporate supporters as a group.
ACROSS THE FUNDRAISING TEAM
- Promote other ways to support Caudwell Youth, including gifts in wills, payroll giving, help in kind, challenge fundraising, charity-wide appeals and campaigns, events and digital content to your network of major donors, philanthropists and corporate supporters as appropriate.
- Work in partnership with the Grants and Impact Lead to develop applications and reporting for family philanthropic trusts where required.
- Work effectively as part of the fundraising team, together seeking ways to enhance and strengthen each others’ activities and diversify our revenue streams as required, including in relation to systems, policies, supporter engagement communications and fundraising events.
- Attend team meetings, personal work reviews and relevant meetings proactively and as a contributor.
- Deputise for your line manager as required in their absence, with support from the rest of the SLT.
