We are looking to appoint a Development Director to take the lead in the development and implementation of our fundraising activities. For the right candidate this is an exciting opportunity to further develop on the success that the school has already achieved in building  long term, sustainable relationships with our donors and prospective donors. To reflect the importance of this role, you will be responsible directly to the Principal and under the day to day line management of the Deputy Principal (External Relations).

The main purpose of the role will be to focus specifically on potential major donors, develop a sustainable pipeline of major gifts to provide a reliable income stream for the school and provide exceptional stewardship for existing donors and cultivate new supporters.   You will work across all areas of the school to create compelling cases for support to attract and retain support from individuals and foundations.

This is a full time position and an appropriate salary will be negotiated which will reflect the importance of the post and the experience of the successful candidate.

The successful candidate need not necessarily be based in Oldham, but the school would consider applicants able to carry out the role primarily remotely. 

Christians Against Poverty is a dynamic and growing mission with a strong vision, award winning culture and passionate workforce. CAP exists to equip the local church so that it may effectively serve the poor and proclaim Jesus. We have developed highly effective expertise to break into the hellish mix of poverty, isolation, chaos and severe stress, delivering hope, peace, and freedom through our compassion and technical excellence. Due to our debt help work, we are authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority and are required to meet high regulatory standards.

Working at CAP is exhilarating because we experience partnership with the living Christ and the power of His resurrection as we see thousands of people freed from debt, connected with a loving community and saved. We have a huge, collective ambition to see people freed from poverty, and to see them come to know Jesus’ abundant life and find belonging in his family.

CAP’s work in the UK is delivered through over 300 head office staff in Bradford who serve the frontline teams and volunteers that make up a vibrant network of around 600 community franchise centres. CAP UK, as the founding national franchise, also supports and equips country franchises growing in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and America.

CAP lives out the belief that culture eats strategy for breakfast (though we’re pretty keen on strategy too, so we have that for lunch). We invest in and seek to thoroughly integrate our core values into who we are and how we do what we do. To join CAP is to commit to growing with us into being more Christ centred, generous, passionate, united, compassionate, fun, excellent and courageous.

The role of the Director of Technology and Digital Transformation, reporting into Jon Day our COO, is a critical one, particularly at this time in leading the digital transformation of our flagship debt service.  We are looking for a Director to provide the sophisticated and inspiring leadership required to take our services to the next level.

Executive Director of Impact and Investment
c. £85,000

Comic Relief is one of the UK’s best loved and most widely recognised charities. We work to drive positive change through the power of entertainment, and our flagship events include Comic Relief, Sport Relief and Red Nose Day. Millions of generous participants and donors have raised an astonishing total of over £1bn in the past 35 years, all of which has gone to improving lives in the UK and across the globe.

A lot has changed since 1985, and we’ve invested considerable time and thought into recasting our focus and philosophy to address emerging challenges and opportunities. We are committed to being impact-led; to channelling creativity; and to working smart. If you’re looking for a genuinely creative way to make a concrete difference to the world, this influential and visible leadership role could be the most important move you make.

At the heart of our Executive Leadership Team, and leading Comic Relief’s Social Change Strategy, you’ll have overall responsibility for our global philanthropic funding, as well as managing key relationships with partners. We’ll expect you to provide absolute assurance that everything we do is congruent with both our strategy, and our organisational values. You’ll also be accountable for ensuring that we communicate the impact of funded projects in a way that’s compelling and moving – because the better we can show why we’ve committed to changing something, and what we’re achieving, the more we will retain the confidence and loyalty of our amazing supporters.

If it sounds like a big job, that’s because it is. It follows that we’re looking for people with a record of leadership at significant scale, and probably in a sector that is aligned (or closely associated) with our mission. Big numbers won’t faze you, and extensive experience of managing large budgets is a must. You’ll have a sophisticated understanding of strategic fundraising and communications, as well as experience of developing plans and teams that can deliver exceptional outcomes. A confident and resilient decision maker, you’ll relish the opportunity to work with and across highly-motivated teams. Adept at building enduringly productive relationships, you’ll bring exceptional emotional intelligence, and specialist skills to influence, persuade and collaborate at the highest levels.

Unicef ensures more of the world’s children are vaccinated, educated and protected than any other organisation. We have done more to influence laws and policies to help protect children than anyone else. We get things done. And we’re not going to stop until the world is a safe place for all our children.

We are currently seeking a Deputy Executive Director, Philanthropic Relationships to help us achieve our ambitious goals and move us closer to making every child safe, and able to reach their full potential. As a member of the senior executive team and reporting directly to the Executive Director, the new Deputy Executive Director will be integral in raising our sights and helping us achieve our ambition. Unicef UK currently secures around £10 million annually in major and principal giving, however, we believe that we can increase this income significantly with the right leadership and aspiration setting for our philanthropic partnerships team. We want to invest in the strategy, approach, capability and people that will help us realise that goal.

We wish to encourage applications from experienced senior leaders drawn from a wide variety of backgrounds. The successful candidate will be a proven fundraising leader, with demonstrable experience of cultivating and delivering on philanthropic relationships at the highest level. You will have knowledge of working alongside high net worth individuals and philanthropic trusts and securing support at the seven-figure level. You must have the energy and aptitude to further enhance Unicef UK’s reputation with wide range of philanthropic supporters and their representatives and help expand this portfolio substantially. Excellent communication skills are essential, alongside a clear passion and commitment to Unicef’s mission.
