It’s an exciting time to join the Rugby Portobello Trust.

We are a vibrant, place-based community charity supporting children and young people in North Kensington. As we expand our reach and deepen our impact, we are investing in the next phase of our fundraising growth, and we’re looking for an ambitious, strategic fundraising leader to help drive that forward.

As Head of Supporter Engagement, you will lead our income-generating strategy across special events, challenge events, individual giving (one-off and regular) and major donors. You’ll shape how we tell our story, deepen supporter relationships and grow unrestricted income to ensure our long-term sustainability.

This is a senior leadership role with real breadth. You will:

• Lead and grow income across multiple fundraising streams
• Develop and steward major donor relationships
• Oversee high-quality, income-generating events
• Drive multi-channel supporter communications
• Analyse performance data and report against KPIs
• Manage and develop a small, committed team

We’re looking for someone who:

✔ Has a strong track record of achieving and growing fundraising income

✔ Has delivered successful income-generating events

✔ Is confident managing donor relationships, including major donors

✔ Can translate organisational strategy into income growth plans

✔ Is comfortable holding targets and being accountable for performance

✔ Brings energy, creativity and leadership to a small but ambitious organisation

You’ll be joining a charity with a loyal supporter base of 3,000+, a strong fundraising history and a passionate leadership team. This is a hands-on role that's strategic in outlook, operational in delivery and deeply connected to the community we serve.

If you’re motivated by the opportunity to shape growth, lead from the front and make a tangible difference in the lives of children and young people, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re looking for a Policy and Influencing Manager to help us achieve our ambition to improve urban health in the UK and beyond.

You will bring sharp political insight and a passion for complex, of the moment policy issues to work closely with programme colleagues to maximise the impact of our urban health programmes. This might involve commissioning original research to support our policy development process, working with partner organisations to design campaigning partnerships, or funding others to trial new ways of involving communities impacted by health inequity in the policy decision-making process.

You will work with the Head of Policy and Influencing (Impact on Urban Health) on Parliamentary and Government engagement for your programmes, and will work very closely with Communications Managers assigned to each programme to create impactful communications to influence.

You’ll be excited by the opportunity to work at an organisation that prioritises diversity, equity and inclusion in all we do, whether in term of the impact we seek to have in the external world on health equity, but also in the ways we work.

As Policy and Influencing Manager, this may mean working with partners to explore who we can support their own influencing activity, designing research and policy reports that bring the voice of people most impacted by the issues we work on to the debate or exploring ways to develop our own policy positions in an inclusive and equitable way. You will be a team player, who enjoys working in a matrix across multiple teams within the organisation
