“We were fortunate enough to meet the Spoons volunteers at Oldham and North Manchester. My husband and I couldn’t be more grateful. They’re such a friendly, welcoming face. Having a baby in the NICU is such a stressful, frightening time. It’s not an experience you expect to go through.” [Lee, Shanice and Saskia’s Story].

Spoons is a charity dedicated to supporting families through neonatal care. Their sole aim is to facilitate a community where families who have experienced neonatal care, can come together and feel safe in sharing their experiences and supporting one another. Do you want to form part of the team that support families just like Saskia’s?

The charity was founded in 2015 by Kirsten Mitchell, after she sought support from other parents she met on the neonatal unit. Spoons evolved from the acronym: Supporting Families of Oldham Neonates and over the past 10 years they have continued to grow and now support thousands of families across Greater Manchester.

With an inspirational history, and exciting future ahead, we are delighted to be partnering with this wonderful charity to find them a Fundraising Manager, someone to lead on income generation at this pivotal time.

The Role

The Fundraising Manager will lead on the delivery of a sustainable and diverse fundraising strategy. The main responsibilities will include:

• Developing and delivering a fundraising strategy and annual income plan.
• Growing sustainable income across all fundraising streams, predominantly Community, Individual Giving, Corporate partnerships and Events.
• Building, nurturing and stewarding supporter relationships.
• Overseeing and executing fundraising marketing and communications strategies.

The Person

We are looking for a self-motivated, ambitious individual with a proven track record of delivering fundraising income and a knowledge of a variety of income streams. You should also have an understanding of fundraising regulations, GDPR, and a keenness to keep abreast of fundraising best practice.

Additionally, you should be excellent at building relationships with a variety of stakeholders. You must be organised, driven and resilient, and able to multitask effectively in this varied and interesting role. We are also looking for candidates who are creative with the ability to write compelling communications including social content, campaigns and proposals.

This role is a wonderful opportunity to build on previous success and shape the future of fundraising for Spoons to make a real difference to the families this charity supports.

Why Spoons?

Spoons are often described as “a guiding light” and “a lifeline,” and NHS colleagues say that without Spoons, parents’ experiences on neonatal units would be significantly harder.

Joining the small, but mighty, team at Spoons provides a unique opportunity to become part of something incredible, something that will continue to help families across Greater Manchester at a time they need it more than ever. Not only is the team at the Spoons passionate about the work it does, but also puts huge emphasis on creating a positive working culture that supports staff and makes them feel valued in their roles. With a caring, supportive and ever changing working environment you will also receive a generous holiday allowance, a flexible working culture with sensible work-life balance and access to a range of professional development opportunities.

Is ensuring every family in Greater Manchester affected by neonatal care has the compassionate support they need something you feel passionately about? If so, we would love to hear from you.

We’re a 46 year old charity with a strong local reputation, healthy reserves and ambitious plans to open a new Youth Hub. With the introduction of our Beacon CRM system, we’re ready to grow and diversify our income and we’re looking for a proactive fundraiser to help make that happen.

The role

This new role is ideal for a creative, relationship-led fundraiser who enjoys variety. You’ll lead on community fundraising and individual giving, strengthening supporter relationships, growing income, and delivering engaging campaigns and events.

You’ll work closely with our fundraising-experienced CEO, Finance & Communications Manager and volunteers, in a supportive environment where initiative is encouraged and micromanagement isn’t our style.

Key responsibilities:

• Deliver our fundraising strategy across individual giving, community and corporate income.
• Build and maintain long-term relationships with supporters and local partners.
• Use and develop our Beacon CRM to manage data and segment audiences.
• Plan and deliver creative multi-channel fundraising campaigns.
• Support community fundraising initiatives and events.
• Produce inspiring fundraising materials with the wider team.

There’s already strong local support, from the MP, local football club and community partners, and plenty of new opportunities to build on.

About you

You are already working in fundraising and could be ready to step up into a broader, more autonomous role. You will bring:

• Experience or understanding of individual giving, community, or corporate fundraising.
• A confident, relationship-led approach and strong communication skills.
• A genuine empathy for young people and the ability to connect with a wide range of people.
• Confidence using CRMs (ideally Beacon) and an understanding of their value in supporter management.
• A proactive, organised approach and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A collaborative, can-do attitude and passion for creating opportunities for all young people so they feel safe, seen and supported.

This role requires a variety of skills and experience. We recognise it’s unlikely you’ll have experience in all these areas, but if you think this sounds like you, please apply!

We offer

• Flexible, hybrid working.
• Pension scheme (5% employee / 3% employer).
• 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays (pro rata) + an extra day’s leave on your birthday!
• Mobile phone, mentoring and access to 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme.
• A friendly, values-led team where your ideas and initiative will make a real difference.

Join us at an exciting time of growth and help shape the future of fundraising at Youth Concern.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.
