Community fundraising manager jobs near Westminster, Greater London

You will play a pivotal role in securing funding across a broad range of income streams, including but not limited to individuals, trusts and foundations and corporates; working proactively and collaboratively with our Fundraising Manager and wider Charity Team.

Despite being a small head office team, Theodora Children’s Charity has helped over half a million children and their families in the UK in the past 28 years by improving children’s experience of being in hospital and specialist care centres. We do this through visits from highly skilled paid performers, called Giggle Doctors and we work closely with NHS partners, play specialists and clinical teams. We also form part of an international family with its origins in Switzerland and are proud to have helped 3 million children internationally.

Our Giggle Doctors increase opportunities for play, reduce distress and anxiety and give children back an element of control. They achieve this through improvised play which puts the child at the centre of the interaction and through the use of music, magic, storytelling, comedy and mime. It is important that the play is always child led.
