A very well-known public sector body is seeking a Fundraising Director to spearhead a high-profile programme focussed on supporting local communities in the London area. As Fundraising Director you will be responsible for adding to and diversying the current income for the programme with a multi-million pound target for the next few years. 

The programme has already run with major success across London-based communities, benefitting a range of underpriveleged and under-represented individuals and groups, and is now over subscribed. As such, the public sector body is looking for a Fundraising Director to join them on an initial 12 month fixed-term contract (potential to extend longer term) to design and deliver on additional funding for the programme to the tune of £multi millions over a 1 - 3 year period. As the current funding for the programme is budgeted in-house, the Fundraising Director will be responsible for designing additional fundraising attraction methodologies from scratch (likely across Philanthropy, Corporate Partnerships, and / or other low volume and high value forms of fundraising). 

With the nature of the role being to design and create new fundraising strategies from scratch, you will likely have experience working in SME / start-up fundraising initiatives.This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced fundraiser, who has perhaps previously worked as an independent fundraising consultant for community based projects, or has a track record of designing new fundraising strategies for high value projects from scratch. 

The role has a lot of exposure to senior level individuals both internally (Director / Board level) and externally. 

Please note that the source of additional funding is open to discussion, with the recruiting manager open to hearing about individual's areas of expertise for generating funds. 

Are you a values-driven, hand-on leader with broad fundraising and communications knowledge? Do you have strong experience in grant fundraising? Do you want a diverse, exciting role where you can work from home? We’d love to hear from you.
