Organisation Hestia
Location London Bridge, SE1 1LB
Remuneration - 37,224
Contract Permanent, 39 hours p/w, 2-3 days at home

Harris Hill is delighted to be assisting the fantastic UK crisis support charity, Hestia, in the search for a new Partnership and Development Manager at their London Office.

Hestia is a National charity that works predominantly in the Capital, striving to support individuals experiencing domestic abuse, modern slavery and mental health needs. The organisation relies on 90% of its fundraising support from contracts. These contracts are typically 1 year in length and predominantly come from public funding, such as; NHS, local authorities and tenders. However, whilst the charity themselves provides support across a wide array of social and economic problems, this role sits in a team of four that focuses exclusively on health and property. As the postholder, you will be directly responsible to the Head of Innovation and Partnerships.

Hestia are looking for an experienced Partnership and Development Manager to join their vibrant team. The crux of the role is to engage and build new partnerships opportunities by ways of public funding. Due to the short nature of contracts you must be sharp-eyed for new opportunities, ensuring a continuous stream of funding. Moreover, as an applicant you must be a strong bid writer and have proven experience of business development; a large proportion of your role is BD. The role itself has very little overlap with your colleagues' areas of expertise.
To be considered for this role you will need to be well versed in building and managing relationships with current and future sources of funding. Significant experience of successful fundraising from donors. Demonstrable excellent written communication skills and project management skills.
If you would like to receive a full job specification for this role or have a confidential conversation, please send your cv to [email protected] or call Ruaidhri at Harris Hill on 0207 820 7312.

This is a rolling recruitment so early applications are encouraged.

Only suitable candidates will be contacted.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Role Purpose

Lead on delivering grants and partnerships for SolarAid’s new ambitious plans to leave no one in the dark by 2030.

Our mission - No one left in the dark by 2030

Along with our social enterprise, SunnyMoney, SolarAid aims to reach the poorest people in the most remote communities in Arica with clean and affordable light. Our approach is creating a sustainable solar market in Africa through solar enterprises. This has proved to be more effective than handouts of aid.

The latest projections show there will be 600 million people still living in the dark in Africa by 2030. This is the deadline for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals - number 7 being ‘universal access to clean and affordable energy’.  Much more needs to be done for no one to be left in the dark by 2030. No home, no school and no clinic in Africa should be left in the dark when the sun goes down.

We are in a new growth phase, and we are looking for an ambitious and agile fundraiser to join the team to us help achieve our mission and to grow sustainable income from institutions, foundations and programme partners.

About the role

This new position is suited to an experienced fundraiser who is comfortable in bid writing, grant management and working with international teams on programme development. The role covers fundraising from institutions, foundations and building programme partnerships.

We are on target to receive £500k across these income streams for 2019/2020 and are looking to increase this forecast to £1.2 million in 2021/22. Our growth is directly linked to our change in strategy. 

Whilst we still look to maintain our business-based, market-building model, we are looking Beyond the Market. Millions of people cannot afford the most affordable solar light that we or anyone else sells. Therefore, we are looking at innovation to reach these individuals and communities. Essentially, we are launching new ambitious programmes which need partners and funding. 

This position will be responsible for the process from programme development to acquiring funding to grant management. You will work closely with the SunnyMoney teams in Malawi and Zambia (currently our areas of focus) to ensure we have a regular flow of information to build bids and manage grants - this flow of information supports the whole team.

You will manage the Programme Partnerships Officer who is responsible for small/medium trust applications, prospect research and grant management. You will also work with the Director of Development to work on SolarAid’s larger strategic partnership plans. 

SolarAid will provide support through mentoring and training. We will also help you understand SolarAid’s approach to fundraising - based on inspiring people who believe in what we believe to spread our story. Our strong culture of positive fundraising, emphasising storytelling and valuing our supporters, makes for a very fulfilling working environment.

The new Chief Executive of The Royal College of Radiologists (RCR) will assume an exciting and pivotal role. You will develop the strategy of the RCR in collaboration with the Senior Leadership Team, and be responsible for the operational management and performance of the organisation.

As the leader of the RCR, you will work closely with the President and the Council to support and guide the organisation’s mission, whilst overseeing the execution of its strategy. Taking responsibility for all legal requirements, risk management and financial obligations, you will ensure the robust financial health of the charity, as we move forward into the new decade.

With a track record in leading or delivering organisational transformation and influencing culture change, you will have leadership experience within a non-profit setting and an understanding of the position of medical Royal Colleges within the healthcare landscape.

An influential and strategic thinker, you will have a strong and proven background in engaging with regulatory and professional bodies, which may include healthcare organisations, sister Royal Colleges or equivalent organisations. Your professional relationships and networking capabilities will ensure you create the right opportunities to lead the organisation into its next phase.

Your knowledge of charity regulation and understanding of good governance along with your commitment to equality and valuing diversity will ensure the RCR continues to strive forward under compelling and trusted leadership.

The role requires tact and diplomacy, emotional intelligence, as well as resilience and flexibility. The Chief Executive will inspire staff and collaborate with new Trustees of the RCR, including Office bearers, from diverse backgrounds. A commitment to understanding and serving the interests of RCR members is essential.

This role offers the exciting opportunity to build on the outstanding growth and development of the RCR under the previous Chief Executive, as we continue to expand our diverse membership base.

The role is full-time, based at the RCR’s offices in Lincoln’s Inn Fields, London.

The RCR has been working with members to improve the standard of medical practice across the fields of radiology and oncology for over 40 years. We collaborate impartially with our members and external parties across the healthcare landscape and support the education and training of doctors throughout their careers.
