About The Role
Closing date: 11th December 2023
Contract: FTC until February 2025

Location: This is a home-based role in Northern Ireland.

Application process: Please ensure you apply with your most updated CV and a supporting statement on why you believe you would be the most suitable individual for this position.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

Alzheimer’s Society’s sector-leading Gifts in Wills team are looking for a Fundraising Officer (Gifts in Wills) who can hit the ground running and take care of our supporters in Northern Ireland.

We need you to be a big thinker, curious, and compassionate; to be brave and committed to making a better world for people living with Dementia.

What can you expect?

The opportunity to make a difference: You will join our Regional Gifts in Wills team to help deliver over a third of all income that the Alzheimer’s Society receives each year. You will not be tied to a financial target – our focus is on developing incredible and long-lasting relationships with our supporters through exquisite stewardship, as well as hosting and delivering three supporter facing events per year. Success in your role will enable our colleagues to campaign for change, fund research to find a cure, and support people living with dementia today. That really is making a difference!

Be prepared to be your own boss: This is a home working role; you absolutely must be a self-starter and incredibly motivated. Look forward to an engaging, mentally stimulating, and diverse environment where you will need to be available, resourceful, and inspiring every day to give your supporters the best possible confidence in us as the right charity for them to leave a gift in their Will to. Exceptional organisation and timekeeping are a must and flexible working is welcome.

No two conversations will ever be the same: You will need to be an excellent communicator and confident in talking to supporters over the phone and in person. Virtual and in person presentations to supporters and other teams in the Society are a regular occurrence; we will teach you what to say but confidence in presenting is required. You will be the face of the Alzheimer’s Society for dedicated supporters in your region: you will be their guide through the Will-writing process, the person they put their trust in, and their sounding board. Being a people person goes without saying.

A fabulous team to support you: Our team come from all backgrounds and have a wealth of experience and skill to support you. We have scientists and teachers who chose a job change working alongside experienced fundraisers, to name a few! Previous experience as a fundraiser is not essential, although obviously it will help enormously. What is essential is the need to be a team player who will support colleagues during busy periods and who knows when to ask for help themselves. In our team, help will always be there. We work in a ‘win-lose-learn’ culture, where we learn fast but accept that within a creative, innovative, and successful environment, things will sometimes go wrong, but that we will be better from them. Every day is a learning day.
Dedicated to your development: At the Alzheimer’s Society, we are here to support you in your learning and growth. We make continuing professional development a priority through training days and conferences, as well as giving you the opportunity to lead on your own projects to gain experience. Whilst it would be great if you have experience managing projects, we can teach you to do that if you haven’t. What you do need is the ability to be proactive and to inspire and motivate others.

S.A.L.V.E. International is a small International Development partnership charity registered in the UK and Uganda. Our ethos is “Support And Love Via Education”. We support children living and working on the streets of Uganda, and their families, to have a brighter future. 

We are looking to recruit a new CEO who believes in our vision that there should be “No Street Called Home” for children living on the streets in Uganda and who wants to help us to grow this impact and further change children’s lives.

What does the CEO role involve?

You will join and lead our incredible global team, working alongside our volunteers, staff teams and trustee boards in both the UK and Uganda, to help S.A.L.V.E. International to thrive and increase our impact. As a small charity, we need a proactive and practical CEO, who is as much able to deliver high level presentations about our work as they are to get stuck in to cover practical gaps that might stop us from achieving our goals.

We have a current strategic plan that you would ensure is being met and if possible exceeded, and then you would be expected to collaboratively develop the next strategic plan to be ready for when this one elapses in April 2027. You would be working with our team to progress and improve our existing programmes of work as well as ensuring new programmes are being researched and developed as needed for the organisation to best benefit our service users.

You will need to drive forwards and oversee our fundraising strategy and manage relationships with new and existing funders to a high standard to ensure that maximum potential support is achieved. We would expect you to proactively identify potential new areas of support, approaching and winning resources from new partnerships in the wider community to best meet S.A.L.V.E.’s aims and objectives. You would be a key ambassador for our work, always looking to inspire others about how they can join us and help us to achieve our mission.

Practically the role will involve:

● 40 hours a week if working 5 days (or 32 hours a week if you choose to work 4 days).

● Being majority based in the UK with regular travel to Uganda each year. You can choose to be based at our office in Manchester, hybrid between office and home work or be mostly home based.

● Being flexible to travel and attend meetings, talks and events as needed (some in evening and weekend hours).

We believe that it is highly beneficial for the CEO to be based in the UK but to visit the programme in Uganda for a minimum of 1 month a year and a maximum of 3 months a year, which would be split across 2 or 3 trips in the year to understand the work in greater depth, share their skills and to meet and collaborate with team members and service users. The amount and duration of trips would be assessed based on personal circumstances and organisational needs year to year.

CEO specific responsibilities:

As CEO you would be responsible for:  

✔ Working collaboratively with our global team of staff, volunteers, and board members to ensure a strong strategic plan is in place which is reviewed and improved over time to maximise the organisation’s impact. We currently have a team of 2.5 in the UK (including the CEO) and 26 in Uganda.

✔ Leading and championing our fundraising strategy. Helping to develop our one off and regular financial supporters through finding new opportunities and networks, giving talks, ensuring quality timely communications, and reporting to existing supporters.

✔ Recruiting, training, developing and managing staff and volunteers to help to build the capacity of the organisation as needed.

✔ Collaboratively create, review, and develop policies, procedures and systems to help to ensure quality safeguarding and risk management for the organisation.

✔ Overseeing the budget and financial management of the organisation to ensure the organisation’s long term sustainability and sound financial management. Collaboratively reviewing the charity’s financial controls and performance and overseeing the internal audit of our accounts with the finance committee.

✔ Working closely with and supporting our UK and Ugandan boards to ensure that the governance of the organisation is strong.

✔ Supporting and co-working with our Development Manager to research new application prospects, and helping to maintain and develop the income from our existing network of corporate, organisational and Trust and Foundation partnerships and donors. This includes writing and reviewing funding applications and reports as needed.

✔ Overseeing the communications strategy of the organisation, ensuring the website, social media, newsletters, annual report and mailings out to supporters are kept up to date by supporting our Communications and Admin Officer. This includes drafting and checking copy and promoting and marketing events and campaigns for the organisation to raise funds and awareness.

✔ Leading and collaborating with the wider team to develop and improve our programmes through regular evaluation and learning reviews.

✔ Seek opportunities to develop the organisation’s knowledge through training and staff and volunteer development.

✔ Representing S.A.L.V.E. in partnerships and networks such as the Consortium for Street Children to ensure that we are making the most of advocacy opportunities.

Essential skills/ experience for the CEO:

• Have proven experience of communicating well with different stakeholders and successfully raising funds.

• Have previous management/leadership experience within the charity sector and are able to evidence their enthusiasm and dedication for this particular cause.

• Have experience in successfully working internationally and/ or with people from different cultural backgrounds.

• Have the ability to create, review and develop strategies, policies, procedures and systems to ensure that S.A.L.V.E. is following good practice in line with the law and latest good practice guidelines.

• Have a can-do attitude. Be solution focused and creative in their ability to approach problems and evidence this throughout their career history.

• Being friendly and approachable to all members of the team and wider public.

• Have excellent attention to detail and project management skills.

Other desirable (but not essential) skills/ experience:

• We would especially welcome applicants who are originally from Uganda or have strong ties to Uganda, but are now based in the UK.

• Relevant qualifications to achieve the responsibilities in the job description.

Please note: You must already have the right to live and work in the UK to apply for this role.

Salary Expectations: We anticipate paying between £35,000 - £40,000 per annum depending on the candidate’s experience and skills. This would be paid pro-rata if the CEO decided to take the role on for 4 days a week instead of 5. Please note that we are not able to pay higher than this pay scale.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys having great autonomy in organising their own work and using their broad fundraising skills and drive to make a positive impact. If you enjoy a challenge and like to see the direct results of your efforts, then this role is for you!
