Fundraising Manager — Thrive (Community Council for Somerset) £35,000–£40,000 | Hybrid / Somerset | Permanent | 35 hrs (flexible)
Thrive has been at the heart of Somerset's communities for 100 years. Village agents supporting isolated older people. Diverse communities programmes. Fuel poverty campaigns. Real, local, human work — delivered across every corner of the county.
This centenary year, Thrive is building its next chapter. A new chief executive has reset the strategic direction. Community energy is building. And the organisation has made a clear decision: it wants a sustainable fundraising base that isn't dependent on statutory contracts alone.
This role is the cornerstone of that ambition.
This isn't a maintenance hire. It's a builder's role.
The Fundraising Manager will lead across community fundraising, individual giving and trusts and foundations — with community and individual giving as the primary focus. The tools are in place. The mission is compelling. The stories are extraordinary. Thrive already has the reach, the relationships and the centenary momentum. What's missing is the right person to build the pipeline and turn that momentum into lasting income.
The target: 2,000 active supporters by year end, with a clear pathway to converting them into regular givers over time.
What you'll be doing:
- Building a structured community fundraising programme — creating frameworks that enable supporters, staff and volunteers to fundraise on Thrive's behalf
- Growing the individual giving base from a low starting point — developing supporter journeys, regular giving and stewardship
- Managing a grants pipeline and writing compelling applications to trusts and foundations
- Leading digital acquisition campaigns in partnership with the marketing team
- Line managing the Fundraising Administrator and helping them develop grant-writing skills over time
- Helping build a fundraising culture across the organisation where frontline staff feel part of the story
What we're looking for:
- A track record in community fundraising, individual giving or events fundraising
- Some experience of trusts and foundations — this doesn't need to be your primary specialism
- Strong written skills — the ability to translate real human stories into compelling fundraising copy
- A self-starter who works well with autonomy in a small team
- Genuine connection to Thrive's mission and the communities it serves
- Based in Somerset or within easy reach of Taunton — primarily home-based with approximately one day per week in the office
What Thrive offers:
- £35,000–£40,000 FTE
- Genuine flexibility — hybrid working that actually reflects how the organisation operates
- A values-led culture where kindness, compassion and psychological safety aren't just policies
- 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
- Real scope for career progression — if the fundraising function delivers, the trajectory in salary, responsibility and seniority is genuine
This role will suit you if:
You want to be a Head of Fundraising one day. You're frustrated by being siloed. You want breadth, autonomy and the chance to build something that matters — in a place where the mission is real and the communities are real.
This role is being recruited exclusively through Raise + Recruit, an independent not-for-profit executive search adviser. All enquiries are handled in complete confidence.
For a confidential conversation, contact John Austin — no obligation, no lengthy application process at this stage.

The Role
The Programmes Manager (Education) leads DTL’s schools work, owning the relationships, logistics, and outcomes that sit at the heart of our education offer. This is a delivery role with real breadth: you will manage a national programme of training events, lead on school recruitment and retention, and ensure the programme generates the evidence base that sustains its long-term funding.
You will be the main point of contact for subscribing schools, working closely with the CEO and Head of Partnerships. You will represent DTL’s schools work to funders and external partners, and contribute to the strategic development of the programme over time.
While the Digital Ambassador Programme is currently grant funded for three years, DTL’s intention is for the programme to become financially self-sustaining through school subscriptions, and this role is central to achieving that. As the programme grows, so will the scope of this post and the team to support it.
This is an office based role (flexible working considered) from our Brighton office which will involve some travel.
The Digital Ambassador Programme
The Digital Ambassador Programme is DTL’s flagship schools initiative. It trains staff and student Digital Ambassadors in schools across the UK, equipping them to lead on digital safety from within - and to escalate harmful content directly via DTL’s trusted flagger network.
This model creates both a faculty lead to manage complex reports from young people and also a student lead who will be able to provide peer-to-peer support to their fellow students, ensuring that students who may not wish to report directly to the faculty will still have a reporting mechanism.
Key Responsibilities
Programme delivery
-
Manage all delivery phases from set up through to annual review, in line with the agreed delivery plan.
-
Coordinate the logistics of 6 regional hub training events per year, including venue sourcing, school invitations, materials production, and on-the-day facilitation.
-
Oversee the production of printed resources and ensure all school-facing materials meet DTL brand standards.
-
Manage the year-round ambassador network: quarterly online meetings, monthly email digests, and peer-to-peer community activity.
School recruitment and retention
-
Lead school recruitment and retention
-
Manage all school relationships as point of contact from initial contact through to annual renewal.
Monitoring, evaluation and reporting
-
Implement the M&E framework in partnership with DTL’s external consultant
Internal coordination
-
Manage the project timeline and risk register, keeping the team informed and escalating risks promptly.
-
Coordinate with the Youth Engagement Coordinator, who leads youth-facing content and ambassador engagement.
Person Specification
Essential
-
Demonstrable experience in project or programme management, ideally in the charity or education sector.
-
Strong project management skills, particularly working to a timeline
-
Experience working with schools, local authorities, or youth-facing organisations.
-
Confident communicator - written and verbal - able to build and sustain relationships with school staff, funders, and partners.
-
Comfortable working in a small, fast-paced charity environment where flexibility and initiative are essential.
Reporting to: The Head of Operations.
Working closely with The Head of Partnerships and the CEO.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
