You may have thought that leprosy is an ancient Biblical disease, but today someone is diagnosed with leprosy every two minutes. It is a disease of poverty, striking the most vulnerable. Stigma and discrimination mean many people with leprosy hide their symptoms for as long as possible, living in terrible fear of what will happen to them. But without fast treatment, leprosy can cause blindness and disable hands and feet. Rejection, isolation, hopelessness. We believe that this is not how God wants people to live. Will you join us to help end leprosy?

We have a culture of growing and learning together, providing extensive training in fundraising and international development. You’ll also have opportunities to visit projects overseas and see our work first hand.
We’re looking for:
- A relational public speaker, experienced in engaging audiences including churches and community groups
- Proven success in fundraising or sales
- A confident networker
- Experience of managing volunteers
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- A willingness to work on Sundays and evenings as required, and occasional Saturdays
- The ability to develop and deliver a regional fundraising strategy.

We’re at a pivotal and exciting point in the organisation as we’ve grown from three to thirteen team members in the last few years. Alongside this, London Funders now has a subsidiary organisation in its infancy, Collaboration Circle, and the potential for a second one through our place based work with London’s Giving. This growth creates real opportunities to shape and deliver strong communications across the London Funders family.
We need someone who is highly organised, with the written, digital and verbal skills to help us deliver a diverse portfolio of projects. It’s a unique opportunity for someone who can pair strategic vision with hands-on delivery.
We’re looking for someone who thrives in a small team but is equally confident working independently, who brings initiative and creativity to solve challenges, and—importantly—shares our commitment to building a fairer future for communities.
Our purpose is to bring funders together to build a better London by taking action on what matters to our city and our communities.
