Creative Director
c. £70,000

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.

What inspires people to care about (and thus to support) the causes and charities that we fund? Simple: world-class creative. The entertainment, stories and partnerships we produce – sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and always meaningful – engage millions of people of all ages, and move them from emotion to action. So this role is central to Comic Relief’s entire proposition. You’ll oversee and lead our creative output, liaising with agencies, BBC commissioning teams and our Creative Advisory Committee (which will be established this year, and chaired by one of our founders, Richard Curtis) to build strong, two-way relationships that ensure our creative content is brilliant, compelling and true to Comic Relief’s values.

You’ll need to truly love our mission and the world in which we undertake it, with a razor-sharp grasp of the modern mainstream and a burning desire to engage mass audiences on an emotional level. A sophisticated grasp of how to collaborate with numerous stakeholders is vital, and you’ll know how to deliver high-quality work with talent of National Treasure rank. Able to deliver across all channels (TV, radio, film, digital, live and virtual events), the work that you produce with your team will be some of the most seen and shared entertainment of the year, and we’re expecting that your track record will be commensurate with this extraordinary opportunity.

Executive Director of Fundraising and Creative
c. £100,000

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.

Our fundraising strategy is uniquely Comic Relief: we create entertainment, stories and brilliant partnerships which inspire people to care about (and thus to support) the causes and charities that we fund. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and always serious, we engage millions of people of all ages. The Fundraising and Creative workgroup is the largest directorate in the organisation, and comprises three teams – Public Fundraising, Corporate Partnerships and Creative – collaborating closely together. It’s a multi-faceted and cross-channel group, with a strong focus on embedding and championing digital throughout all our content and working practices. And it’s an incredibly exciting place to be.

You’ll be accountable for generating our income, ensuring that we continue to be a popular, progressive and dynamic brand which is entertaining, engaging and highly effective. Significant experience in public fundraising through creative leadership is essential, and your record of sustained, tangible increases in income will set you apart. The ability to work through relationships is key, and you must have the judgement, communication and influencing skills to play a visible and highly scrutinised role in a major charitable organisation. And as if that didn’t narrow the field enough, we’re also uncompromising about wanting to see comprehensive experience of embedding digital strategy and practice within an organisation, plus exceptional prowess as a strategic marketer, communicator and producer.

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, Corporate and Foundation Partnerships 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 have significant impact on Unicef UK and our ability to deliver on our mission. Unicef UK currently secures around £25 million annually in corporate partnership and foundation support from a strong range of organisations, including Unilever, Standard Chartered Bank, BT, The Wellcome Trust, and Manchester United. However we believe that, with the right leadership for our corporate and foundation partnership teams, we can significantly grow our income with the support of similar organisations. Our ambition is that over the next five years we will see annualised corporate and foundation partnership support to Unicef UK rise to closer to £50 million; and 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 an ambitious and visionary leader with proven experience working with the most senior levels of corporate organisations and/or trusts and foundations. You will demonstrate a deep knowledge of how to cultivate and steward high value relationships between corporate and grant making organisations and their partners. You will have the energy and aptitude to build Unicef UK’s reputation with a wide range of corporate and foundation partners, and significantly expand the range of partners who engage with us. You will have demonstrable experience in cultivating and developing relationships with business leaders and foundation leaders, and reporting on their success and income generation to the Unicef UK Board. Excellent communication skills are essential, alongside a clear passion and commitment to Unicef’s mission.

The role

You will lead a directorate of 12 with combined responsibility for the income generation of the charity, with targets in excess of £1m per annum. This includes events and training, our membership scheme and marketing, corporate partners and other business development initiatives including grant funding.

This role requires a creative and strategic approach with a strong commercial acumen and outstanding line management. This is an exciting challenging team. You will be motivated by ambitious targets and leading a diverse and innovative team. As part of the senior leadership team you will contribute to setting the organisational strategy and budgets, and regularly report to the board of trustees.

Why work for us?

We are a friendly team with a great sense of humour that enjoys the work that we do. There is lots of potential for development for talented individuals within CFG, and we can provide an excellent platform for career progression within the sector. We also offer a superb range of benefits including a generous pension contribution, flexible working, season ticket loans and childcare vouchers.

Director of Fundraising
Full time-35hrs
£90k; Flexible location but with significant time in London

Cancer is different for young people. Our vision is a world where cancer doesn’t stop young people from living their lives – and our job in making that vision a reality is to improve the experience, survival and recovery of every young person with cancer in the UK. 

Young people facing cancer are at the centre of everything we do. Our values are built around this. We believe we can support young people with cancer best if we work in a determined, united, spirited and kind way. What that means is we all believe deeply in what we do & why we do it, but we also bring the attitude, drive, energy and passion that makes things happen.

Teenage Cancer Trust has been a hugely successful organisation for many years – leading the way in specialist support for young people with cancer in the UK and across the globe. We’re driven by what young people with cancer need and are the UK’s leading charity dedicated solely to the treatment, care and support of 13-25-year olds with cancer.

What’s clear is that we have significant opportunities to further expand and deepen our impact - but doing that in the face of the challenges to income posed by the current pandemic is going to be challenging.  

Now, we’re not daunted by that, far from it and we’re looking for a Director of Fundraising who can rise to the challenge and seize opportunities. With the right fundraising leader to help rebuild revenue and develop our strengths we know we will not only survive but thrive. This is not an organisation – or role - that’s about more of the same or one size fits all. 
 
Our team, our supporters and most of all young people with cancer need you to be a fundraising leader who is creative, collaborative and prepared to think differently. We need to continue to innovate to help drive the growth in impact that young people deserve, and our supporters expect.
 
This role has the potential to be life changing - not only for young people with cancer - but also for you and the talented, experienced teams you will be leading and empowering.

We need our Directors to be brilliant cross-organisational leaders with stacks of emotional intelligence and stakeholder engagement skills.  You will thrive when working in partnership and making alliances. Success and strength are not about us doing everything – it’s about getting everything done with others. At Teenage Cancer Trust we succeed, fail & learn together and are stronger than the sum of our parts.

If this sounds like you, we would love to hear from you.

You can review the job pack and job description and apply online via our website.Don’t forget to upload your CV and covering letter. If you require any help making your application please contact us.

Applications should be received by 3.00pm on 6 July 2020.
First interviews: 13th and 14th July (online)
Second interviews: 20th and 22nd July (online)

We are committed to working towards ensuring Teenage Cancer Trust is a diverse and inclusive place to work. We welcome applications from everyone regardless of race, age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, faith or disability.

Who is CFG?

At CFG, our vision is to inspire a financially confident, dynamic and trustworthy sector. Everything we do is led by our goal to enable charities to deliver more impact to their causes.

It’s our mission to put finance at the heart of social change organisations, making their money work harder and achieve the maximum positive outcome for their beneficiaries. Our members include over 1,400 charities, social change and public benefit organisations, all working hard to improve the lives and outcomes for their beneficiaries – often on a tight budget.

The role

CFG cannot afford to get its own finance wrong.  The principle purpose of this role is therefore to ensure CFG’s finances are robustly managed and that we can show how finance can be placed at the heart of effective decision making.  Additionally  you will lead our IT manager in ensuring that CFG’s systems and use of digital keep pace with developments and make best use of the resources available to us.  Finally you will oversee our HR Manager and the EA (to the CEO) who also managers CFG’s facilities requirements.

Do you believe that being a leader is not an addition to the day job; rather that it is the day job? If so you may be who we are looking for.

This is a unique opportunity to join the CFG team as the Director of Operations. We want an excellent leader who is excited by the challenge of leading our finance, IT, HR and facilities team.  Given who we are the expectations that we have of your technical and business partnering skills are high; but there is a great profile and access to the largest not for profit network of finance professionals in the UK waiting for the right person.

By nature you will be an exceptional people leader who can inspire and develop talent, spot potential and build capacity and capability in your team and throughout CFG. You will be a natural collaborator and always be striving to break down barriers or silos. Being a people leader will be a top priority for you at all times.

You will know how to bring out the best in people and be comfortable allowing others to find answers. You will be someone who enjoys continuously learning new skills and topics in a rapidly changing workplace.

You will feel comfortable driving CFG’s operations and will have a presence and credibility with internal teams and trustees alike

Why work for us?

We are a friendly team with a great sense of humour that enjoys the work that we do. There is lots of potential for development for talented individuals within CFG, and we can provide an excellent platform for career progression within the sector. We also offer a superb range of benefits including flexible working and a generous pension contribution.

Deadline for applications: We will be reviewing candidates as and when we receive CVs and cover letters and will appoint as soon as we meet the right person. Therefore, to avoid disappointment please apply early. This position is available immediately.
