This is a senior leadership role with overall accountability for fundraising strategy, performance and growth. You will lead across all income streams, develop ambitious but deliverable plans, and build a high-performing team to achieve them.

Working closely with senior colleagues and trustees, you will contribute to wider organisational strategy while ensuring fundraising is robust, sustainable and aligned to mission.

What you will be doing

• Leading fundraising strategy, shaping long and short-term plans aligned to organisational priorities
• Holding accountability for income generation across multiple streams, including trusts, corporate partnerships, individual giving and events
• Growing and diversifying funding, identifying new opportunities and innovative approaches
• Leading and developing a small fundraising team, creating a collaborative and high-performance culture

• Building strong relationships with funders, partners and stakeholders, acting as a senior ambassador

• A strong track record of developing and delivering fundraising strategies
• Expertise in trusts and foundations, with experience managing pipelines and bids
• Experience of leading and developing teams, creating clarity and accountability
• Knowledge of corporate partnerships, sponsorship or major donor development

• Confidence operating at senior level, working with leadership teams and boards

What you will receive

• 28 days annual leave (including bank holidays), pro rata

Your work will directly enable life-changing outcomes, ensuring long-term sustainability and meaningful impact for years to come.

If you are motivated by purpose, impact and the opportunity to build something lasting, this role offers a unique platform to lead and deliver real change.

About Kidney Research UK:

Kidney Research UK is the leading charity in the UK focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of kidney disease. Our vision is the day when everyone lives free from kidney disease and for more than 60 years the research, we fund has been making an impact. But kidney disease is increasing as are the factors contributing to it, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and obesity, making our work more essential than ever.

At Kidney Research UK we work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of kidney disease. We collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent kidney disease and drive innovation to transform treatments.
Over the last ten years we have invested more than £71 million into research. We lobby governments and decision makers to change policy and practice to ensure that the estimated 7.2 million people living with all stages of kidney disease in the UK have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make kidney disease a priority.

Most importantly, we also work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything we do, from deciding which research to invest in to how we plan our priorities and our work across the charity.

Those patient contributions are vital, always helping us and our partners to understand what life is like with kidney disease, always ensuring we see the patient behind the treatment and always reminding us that behind every statistic and every number is a person – the patients and the carers who inspire our mission and push us forward to make a difference and change the future of kidney disease.

visible impact — this is it.

This is a new and exciting role at the heart of YourStance's growth.

Working closely with programme, policy, communications and finance teams, you will ensure our proposals, reports and donor care reflect the quality, impact and integrity of our work. A smaller part of your role will involve overseeing individual giving and gifts in wills, supported by the Funding Officer.

For over 25 years, Ashden has worked with enterprises and organisations in the UK and the Global South to find, champion and scale solutions to the climate crisis. We excel in storytelling that connects these solutions with the policymakers, funders and investors poised to help them scale and maximise their impact.  Our support is expanding access to affordable clean energy to farms, villages and refugee camps in the Global South.
