Are you passionate about building lasting relationships that create real impact? Join Guide Dogs as our Major Donor Fundraising Officer and help change lives by securing vital funding from high-value supporters. 

In this exciting and rewarding role, you’ll focus on cultivating and managing relationships with philanthropists capable of giving £10,000 or more. Working with existing supporters, your goal will be to deepen their connection to our cause and inspire transformational gifts that support our work with blind and partially sighted people across the UK. 

You’ll manage your own portfolio of major donors, taking ownership of income targets and leading face-to-face ‘asks’ to secure significant and multi-year funding. Whether you’re building compelling cases for support, planning prospecting events, or guiding senior stakeholders through a donor meeting, you’ll be at the heart of our mission—ensuring every supporter feels valued, heard, and inspired. 

This is a truly collaborative role. You’ll work closely with colleagues across Guide Dogs, from our services teams to senior leadership, to match donors with projects that speak to their passions. You’ll also nurture a strong network of advocates—Trustees, volunteers, and staff—who can help open doors and deliver powerful donor experiences. 

If you’ve got a background in major donor or high-value fundraising, love creating meaningful connections, and thrive when meeting bold targets, this could be your next big step. 

About Us

No two people with sight loss are the same, and none of our people are either. So, we are proud to offer a range of person-centred benefits that can support each member of staff in ways that really mean something to them – and show them how much they mean to us. We offer a flexible benefits package, discounts and cashback scheme, a generous holiday allowance and matched contributory pension scheme to care for our people.   

We value in-person collaboration with our teams and those we support, so the ability to travel to our sites is needed. This role offers flexibility in location, with the option to be based near one of our key office sites in Leamington, Reading, London or our National Centre near Warwick. 

However, we understand that the right candidate may be based elsewhere, and we’re open to discussing other locations. The role requires a presence in a Guide Dogs office one to two days per week, but beyond that, we offer a hybrid working arrangement that allows for flexibility while ensuring strong collaboration with colleagues and teams. Home-based could also be considered for this role. Most team meetings take place in Reading or National Centre, Leamington so access to either of these locations is important. 

You’ll be working 35 hours per week, worked 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion 

Communities in the UK come in all shapes and sizes. National Lottery funding is for everyone – therefore, we are committed to equity, diversity and inclusion and we work hard to ensure our funding reaches where it is needed. 

We also believe our people should represent the communities, organisations and individuals we work with. That’s why the National Lottery Community Fund is committed to being an inclusive employer and a great place to work. We recognise and celebrate the fact that our people come from diverse backgrounds. We positively welcome applications from people from ethnic minority backgrounds, people with disabilities or longstanding health conditions, people who are LGBTQ+, and people from different socio-economic and educational backgrounds, as well as people of all ages.

As a Disability Confident Employer, we take a proactive approach in making reasonable adjustments, if needed, throughout the recruitment process and during employment. (This can be related to a physical and mental health condition.)

• Identifying the most fruitful new avenues of funding from a range of Christian cultures, including individual donors, trusts and grant-making bodies

• Strengthen connections with new networks to tap into underutilised funding streams.

• Creating clear briefing materials for comms staff and senior teams to help them engage with donors at all levels — from small ad hoc donations to our largest grant-making partners. Ensuring that appropriate tailored approaches are used for different cultures and church traditions
• Co-manage the Communications Officer to produce emails, newsletters and other communications assets which effectively engage potential donors
• Work closely with our founder, Rico Tice, and our CEO, to help the CEM team grow supporter donations
