Exciting Job opportunity for an ambitious self-starter: we are looking for a Fundraising and Partnerships Manager.

The National House Project takes a ground-breaking approach through its commitment to enabling young people leaving care to achieve successful independence. The Project was co-designed with young people and works on cooperative principles through which adults and young people leaving care work together to refurbish properties that become their homes. We would like the successful candidate to be passionate about our work, with an ability to engage the young people our work reaches.

The first Local House Project was set-up in 2015 in Stoke-on-Trent with funding from the Dept for Education (DfE). We are a rapidly growing organisation with plans to develop nationally. We have developed an ambitious strategy to grow our fundraising; independently from the DfE, over the next five years. This role will involve the establishment and development of a new fundraising team (1 WTE initially). As our first fundraiser, the successful candidate will need to support the wider team to understand how their day-to-day roles will help with the growth of fundraising income. Working closely with our CEO, you will play a crucial role in our team, managing and implementing the National House Project’s fundraising strategy and overseeing our fundraising activity.

We are looking for a dynamic and creative, target driven individual who will work with our team to identify, develop and ‘package’ tangible projects to fundraise against, to drive the development of our fundraising. The post holder will bring their experience, skills and enthusiasm and develop exciting new opportunities. Naturally entrepreneurial, you will be a self-starter and strong communicator, with the ability to build effective and long-term relationships both internally and externally. You will have proven experience of inspiring and motivating donors and fundraising partners, enabling them to maximise all fundraising activities and deliver great results.

The post covers a wide remit of fundraising activities including Major Giving, Corporate Supporters and grant giving Trust and Foundations. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with proven experience in securing four to six figure sums from major donor and/or corporate sources.  An understanding and appreciation of the importance of donor cultivation and stewardship is key.

The fundraising team will be supported by our administrative staff, and external fundraising and marketing & communications consultants initially, whilst we seek to embed our newly developed fundraising strategy. As the team grows, this new role offers exciting progression routes involving both line management and hands-on delivery across Major Giving, Corporate supporters and grant giving Trusts & Foundations. 

You will be based at the NHP office in Crewe a minimum of 2 days per week. While your remaining time will be flexible, you will be expected to travel to Local House Projects and attend meetings with donors and partners across the country on a regular basis.

Application is by CV and covering letter. There is no application form. In your letter, please tell us how you meet the person specification which can be found in the attached application pack.

The interview process will take place in two stages, with first stage interviews taking place via zoom on 14th December 2020. Face to face second stage interviews will then take place on 18th December 2020 at our Head Office in Crewe (if government covid-19 guidelines allow). Please make sure you are available on both dates.

Please note that this role may be based from the Global Hub in Woking, UK (although we are currently home-based due to COVID restrictions) or in most locations where Plan International has a legal entity and you have the pre-existing right to live and work. Our preference is for roles to be based as close to the point of impact as possible.

Since adopting our global strategy, 100 Million Reasons, our global work to advance children’s rights and equality for girls has had unprecedented impact. We have been transforming our operations at the Global Hub to be the best possible partner for the 8,000+ staff who work in our country offices, and working to become a more agile, efficient and accountable organization.

We have improved our mechanisms for collaboration, transparency and data-gathering and disaggregation. The transformation has increased the number of decisions to be taken close to the point of impact and distributed power more widely throughout the organisation. We have made significant progress towards greater localisation and developing industry-leading equality, diversity and inclusion best practices.

To bring about lasting change, we have to live our values. We are committed not simply to telling the world we are the go to organisation on girls’ rights, but to embedding justice and equality in all that we do. Will you join us?

The Organisation

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls.

We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.

We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.

The Opportunity

The Performance – Insights, Planning and Reporting team provide the key link between the global strategy and the work of the enterprise, helping the organisation to understand the strategy, translate it into action, and accelerate its impact in transforming girls’ lives. As the Manager of Performance – Insights, Planning and Reporting, you will manage the delivery of the Business Planning Framework across the Global Hub, Regional Hubs and Country Offices. You will design and manage operational and strategic performance mechanisms whilst also contributing to organisational learning through providing insights to relevant management fora and business partnering.

In this role you will manage the production of analysis and actionable insights to inform the decision-making processes of governance committees and senior management in support of Plan International’s strategy. This includes periodic and ad-hoc operational and strategic analysis and insight identification. You will also build relevant communities of practice in planning and performance and engage with peer NGOs and external fora in relevant programme operations, performance and quality fields.

The Individual

We are looking to recruit a solutions-oriented individual with operational experience across a number of functional business areas. You will have demonstrable experience of navigating organizational complexity, including structures and decision-making processes and of influencing others to deliver results. Your project management experience will be strong and you will also have experience of performance and insights reporting to drive decision-making. Ideally, you will have experience of working in an International NGO.

To be successful in this role you will have excellent interpersonal skills and you will have strong rational and emotional intelligence, with resilience in the face of pushback and resistance to new ideas and ways of working. Your presentation and facilitation skills will be excellent, as you’re your understanding of tools and approaches for data analysis.
