Are you a passionate and creative communications expert with experience in the charity sector, excellent relationship-building abilities and a crafter of persuasive and powerful story telling that resonates with a variety of audiences? Can you deliver compelling communications and campaigns to help increase our income generation and raise our profile with potential supporters and champions? Do you want to be part of a dynamic, ambitious, joyful organisation? Then this could be the role for you!
We are going through an exciting growth phase at the Choir with No Name with new choirs launching and an ambitious strategy to increase our choirs across the UK from six to thirty by 2033. We are investing in our fundraising and comms function to grow our income in line with our bold strategy and delivery plans.
About us
The Choir with No Name (CWNN) has been building supportive choir communities involving people impacted by homelessness and marginalisation since 2008. We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it is a welcome respite from the challenges life throws at you, and helps build confidence, skills and genuine, long-lasting friendships.
“I’m so happy to have found CWNN. It’s made such a difference to me. I’ve broken a 25-year cycle with drugs and honestly, I don’t think I could have done it without the choir. I’m not existing anymore, I’m living, and that’s huge.”
- Richard, choir member

The need for everyone to have access to God’s word, and to know Jesus in a deeper way, is a cause that is increasingly capturing the imaginations of Christian major donors. They are motivated by a clear and urgent problem (1 in 5 people without the Bible in their language) but one that we can do something about.
In the past four years, our income from major donors and trusts has more than doubled to over £2m and we believe there is more potential by fundraising the right way and building long-term relationships that minister to donors. Working at the heart of our Key Relationships team, you will play a key role in developing our major donor pipeline, as well as growing income from existing caseload donors.

- Terms of appointment: Full-time (37.5 hours per week). Permanent
- Closing date: Monday 1 June at 9am
- Interview date: Interviews will be held in London on Tuesday 16 June.
Key responsibilities:
- Achieve ambitious yet realistic major donor income targets
- Support the development of a robust major donor pipeline
- Deputise for the Director of Key Relationships where necessary
Benefits include:
- 33 days’ annual leave, including bank holidays
- Up to 5 days’ extra leave to serve on the Board of an external organisation
- Competitive contributory pension scheme
- Employer pension contributions up to 7.5%
- Fully employer-funded life assurance
- 24/7 employee assistance programme for emotional and practical support
- Family-friendly employer
- Monthly in-person team days in Oxfordshire or the Chilterns (expenses covered)
