• Full time - 35 hrs per week
• Permanent

About us
Transparency International UK (TI-UK) is the UK’s leading independent anti-corruption organisation. We are a member of the Transparency International global movement made up of more than 110 country chapters with the vision for a world where people’s lives, government, business and society are free from corruption.  We believe in a world where the health of our institutions is enhanced so they can better support the people they are intended for; a world where we can trust the integrity of those in authority and in business, and a world where there is no impunity for the corrupt at home or abroad.

Our ground-breaking research and work with governments, business and civil society exposes serious governance issues in the UK and where the UK contributes to corruption abroad. Moreover, as the world struggles to rebuild in the shadow of COVID-19, to deal with devastating events like the fall of Afghanistan, and the need to tackle corruption makes front-page news, our global programmes addressing corruption in health and defence and security are increasingly important.

The Fundraising Officer will be joining TI-UK at a pivotal time. We have just launched our ambitious new 10 year strategy setting out how TI-UK will tackle corruption now and in the years to come.  Responsibility for securing the crucial donor support sits within our small but dynamic Evidence and Engagement Team, who lead the organisation’s fundraising, communications, and evidence and impact.

• Building deeper relationships with those interested in supporting TI-UK both directly and through growing our ‘Friends of TI-UK’ community and support through events like the Big Give.  

3. Proactively contribute to building a donor portfolio and delivery of fundraising targets: Taking responsibility for identifying, applying to and managing donor relationships with a portfolio of smaller trusts and foundations and individuals, seeking unrestricted funding where possible.

We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to identify and secure new funding from charitable trusts and foundations, and help ensure the sustainability of our work.

What you’ll be doing

You will be responsible for building and managing a range of multi-year, five and six-figure grants, working with some of the UK’s leading charitable organisations. You will research and target those whose criteria match our aims and activities, coordinate your pipeline with other members of the trusts and statutory team and ensure our work is sustainable and impactful.

Based in our development department, you will also work closely with programme managers and other members of staff across the organisation, including the senior management team.

What we’re looking for

You will be passionate about our work and support our values and ethos. You will be skilled at building new relationships with charitable trusts, foundations and other institutional funders to secure both single and multi-year grants, and have experience of managing and increasing grant giving among a portfolio of existing funders. You will be used to working to demanding income targets and able to manage multiple projects, identify conflicting demands and establish priorities to meet objectives.

Why our work is so vital

Poor literacy and resulting inequality is not inevitable. The National Literacy Trust improves the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of those who need it most, giving them the best possible chance of success.

We make society fairer. Poor literacy creates social and economic inequality. The one in six adults in the UK with poor literacy earn less, are less likely to vote and more likely to experience health inequalities.

We enable social mobility. A child without literacy skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they will be locked out of the job market. The pattern is intergenerational and starts at birth.

Our work is targeted at communities with the highest levels of disadvantage and the lowest levels of literacy. We support thousands of schools and early years settings, bringing in wonderful partners like the Premier League and the nation’s best publishers who bring literacy alive. We campaign to make literacy a priority for our nation’s leaders. Our research and analysis make us the leading authority on literacy and drive our interventions.

What we offer you

As well as a competitive salary, we offer benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, season ticket loans, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.

We support flexible working and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success, whoever you are.

While you will be based in our office in London, this role can be peformed primarily from home, and you would only be expected to attend for all staff days (approximately 3 per year), team strategy days (around 2 per year) and any in-person training or induction, and any in person funder meetings as required.

Fundraising Manager

Hope and Homes for Children is looking for a Grants Partnerships Manager to join us and make families, never orphanages the new narrative.

We are looking for availability to start towards the end of 2021 and will be offering this role on a 12 month basis. One of our team members recently said this about working in our Grants team:

“Working in the Grants Team at Hope and Homes for Children is a fantastic experience, and one which offers great opportunities for developing your skills, knowledge, and career within Fundraising and International Development.

Fundraising Manager Requirements:

You will need knowledge of international development and the grants fundraising environment and have strong communication skills and an eye for detail. You will be naturally collaborative and able to manage a variable workload with tight deadlines.

About Hope and Homes for Children:

Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.

Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of sexual and physical abuse, as well as extreme neglect.

Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.

You will be joining a brave, can-do organisation and an ambitious, collaborative and multiskilled team. You’ll be encouraged to think and act big and you’ll be mandated and supported to do what’s needed to achieve our mission. You’ll work with dedicated, passionate champions who are ready to take bold steps to inspire change - advocating for our cause, engaging individuals, communities and organisations across the globe in the foundational importance of family love for children. As the world reels from the impact of Covid, there is increased risk of families experiencing the poverty, lack of support and desperation that drives children into orphanages. There is vital work to be done in ensuring this does not happen. If you believe every child belongs in a family, join us as we consign orphanages to history.

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser with a background in securing income from charitable trusts and foundations to join our team. Groundswell has rapidly grown over the past few years; our #HealthNow campaign alongside the expansion of our Homeless Health Peer Advocate (HHPA) services and research consultancy across the country has grown our brand, networks and impact. Our turnover is just over £2million, bought in by a small but effective team generating income from a range of voluntary and statutory sources. Within Fundraising and Communications, we have a Director and a Communications Officer; yet colleagues across the organisation generate income from statutory sources and our social enterprises (research and training). We’re always working together to be as effective as possible.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join Groundswell – the value of taking a health approach to the homelessness crisis combined with our unique insight into the lived experience of homelessness is generating interest and opportunities. Nevertheless, we know that with the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, changes in commissioning and competition amongst charities who have had to change their fundraising approaches, means the future is unknown.

Working at Groundswell brings you a busy, positive, and enthusiastic environment which you’ll benefit from no matter where you are based. There is no shortage of dedicated staff and volunteers full of ideas on how to overcome homeless health inequalities and influence the sector to use the insight of lived experience to develop solutions to homelessness. You will be a crucial part of the team, working closely with the Senior Management Team, particularly the Fundraising and Communications Director to maintain relationships with our network of existing funders and grow Groundswell’s income. You will be experienced in trusts and foundations but enjoy variety in this role, for example engaging with corporate or individual supporters or assisting SMT with a statutory funding process. You will be a flexible worker with strong organisational, research and written communication skills. You will pride yourself in collaborative working to ensure the most successful chance of securing income, whilst being a self-starter who can manage their own workload effectively.
