Harris Hill is delighted to be working on behalf of The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation, a global force for youth development, as they recruit a Philanthropy Manager to join their dedicated fundraising team.
This is an exceptional opportunity for a talented relationship fundraiser to work with one of the most respected international youth charities. Whether you're an experienced philanthropy professional or someone looking to step up into a high-value fundraising role, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role

Salary: £39,000 per annum

Deadline: Monday, 11th August 2025
Interviews: Virtual interviews on Wednesday, 13th August 2025
You’ll manage and grow a portfolio of engaged and generous donors—many of whom are already passionate about the Foundation’s mission. Reporting to the Head of World Fellowship and Philanthropy, you will both deepen relationships and help attract new high-value supporters globally.

Above all, you’ll be:
- A skilled relationship manager with strong communication skills
- Comfortable working with senior stakeholders and culturally diverse networks
- Motivated by making a global impact on young people’s lives

Applications from all sections of the community are actively welcomed, regardless of age, disability, gender, race, religion, sexuality, or other protected characteristics.
Role Overview
The Film & TV Charity’s Looking Glass research on the mental health of the UK film, TV and cinema workforce has consistently shown that mental health and rates of loneliness at work are significantly worse in this sector than among the population as a whole. Further Charity research has also shown that the two are closely linked, strongly suggesting that tackling loneliness is vital part of the industry-wide fight to protect the mental health of the workforce.
As the Community Development Manager, you will use our research insights to help develop the Charity’s community strategy, managing a programme of work that seeks to embed social connection as a core mental health priority in the Charity’s work and among the wider industry. You will also deliver specific projects stemming from the community strategy. Foremost among these is the Charity’s Community Partnerships programme. This involves working with a cohort of peer and community-led industry support groups to meet the needs of their communities, primarily through regular events-based engagement at our Soho offices. But it may also involve contributing to the co-working space offer at our offices in Soho, and to the Charity’s research on themes related to loneliness and social connection.
You will need to have experience of strategy development and partnerships or community management, and the excellent relationship management skills on which this depends. A background in developing mental or social wellbeing interventions is highly desirable, as is experience working in the film, television or creative industries. You will be a positive and enthusiastic individual, with a passion for creating solutions that support people’s mental and social wellbeing.
