Committed to equality, celebrating diversity, and embedding sustainability—building an inclusive workplace and a brighter future for all.

The Talent Set is delighted to be partnering with Mencap to recruit a new Director of Public Fundraising & Engagement. This is a rare opportunity to join one of the UK's leading disability charities at a pivotal moment of investment and renewed ambition. 

Director of Public Fundraising & Engagement
Salary: £85,000
Location: Hybrid (London HQ)

Mencap is embarking on an exciting period of fundraising growth and transformation, creating a rare opportunity for an ambitious and strategic fundraising leader to join the organisation as Director of Public Fundraising & Engagement. With strong backing from the Chief Executive, Board and Executive Team, public fundraising is recognised as a critical source of flexible, unrestricted income that enables Mencap to deliver meaningful impact for people with a learning disability and their families. 

This role will shape the future of public fundraising and engagement at Mencap. At a pivotal point in their strategy, you will lead an established and ambitious portfolio across Individual Giving, Community and Events, and Legacies, helping grow sustainable income, extend their reach and build deeper relationships with the people who support Mencap's work.

Many people who support Mencap have a personal connection to someone with a learning disability. You will build on these valued relationships while developing a compelling case for support that reaches further, inspires new people to engage with the cause and grows Mencap's supporter base. Working with colleagues across the organisation, you will turn awareness and commitment into meaningful action, strengthening their fundraising culture and helping make a greater difference for people with a learning disability and their families.

Recent investment in fundraising infrastructure, including the implementation of Salesforce, has created the foundations for future growth. The organisation is now focused on strengthening supporter insight, building a more integrated view of audiences and creating a smarter, more data-led approach to engagement and income generation. There is a clear appetite across the organisation to modernise and accelerate fundraising performance.

We are looking for a confident senior fundraising leader who combines strategic ambition with strong financial judgement, effective use of donor data and a clear understanding of regulation, compliance and return on investment. You will be credible with senior stakeholders, able to lead through change and passionate about building inclusive, high-performing teams focused on meaningful impact.

You will directly lead key roles across the function, including the Head of Public Fundraising and the Legacies Administration Lead, creating the leadership, confidence, systems and ways of working needed for public fundraising to grow. This role is for someone who can set direction, build the conditions for teams to succeed and help the function scale income and deliver lasting impact.

This role sits at the heart of Mencap's growth strategy. While there are areas of strong performance and established success, there are also significant opportunities to strengthen strategic planning, prioritisation, audience development and supporter engagement. The successful candidate will help shape the organisation's next fundraising strategy, ensuring investment decisions, income ambitions and delivery plans are aligned and achievable.

Potential Early Objectives / Success Measures

• Develop and begin delivering a public fundraising and engagement strategy aligned to Mencap 2030.
• Agree income, investment and performance measures across Individual Giving, Community and Events, and Legacies.
• Establish reporting that supports clear decisions on income, expenditure, compliance, risk, impact and return on investment.
• Build a stronger approach to audience understanding and segmentation to support growth in engagement and income.
• Strengthen ways of working with Brand and Communications to improve supporter journeys and fundraising conversion.
• Strengthen leadership, systems and processes so the public fundraising function has the capability and infrastructure to grow sustainably.

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate:

• A strong track record of senior fundraising leadership, with significant expertise in individual giving and supporter acquisition.
• Experience managing and growing large-scale public fundraising programmes.
• Strong knowledge and understanding of legacy fundraising and its strategic value within a diversified fundraising portfolio.
• Experience leading fundraising transformation, organisational change and income growth initiatives.
• The ability to use data, insight and technology to improve fundraising performance and supporter engagement.
• Outstanding stakeholder management and influencing skills, with experience working effectively across complex organisations.
• Proven experience building collaborative relationships across multiple functions and senior leadership teams.
• Exceptional people leadership skills, with experience of developing high-performing teams and creating clarity around strategic priorities.
• The confidence to challenge constructively, make evidence-based decisions and balance immediate needs with long-term growth ambitions.
• A strategic and commercially minded approach combined with a strong commitment to Mencap's values and mission.

Above all, we are looking for an inspiring and collaborative leader who is excited by the opportunity to modernise, strengthen and grow one of the sector's most important public fundraising portfolios. This is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of fundraising at Mencap, building on strong foundations while unlocking significant untapped potential across supporter engagement and income generation.

Commitment to Diversity
The Talent Set is committed to inclusive recruitment practices and welcomes applications from all backgrounds. We actively encourage applications from people with diverse experiences and are happy to discuss any reasonable adjustments required throughout the recruitment process.

The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (GA) is the central charity that supports its member congregations, ministers and societies in England, Scotland and Wales. Its purpose is to promote free and inquiring religion, through inclusive, free-thinking communities that draw on wisdom from all sources, without doctrine or dogma. Our congregations are autonomous and locally led; the GA is not a hierarchical leadership body, but one that supports and leads alongside our members. 

As Britain’s religious culture and context has changed, so have Unitarian communities, and the GA is in a process of adapting to best meet these changing needs. 

The purpose of this role 

This is a new role, created as part of a restructuring of the GA's operational team. The Administrative Coordinator is the human face of the GA's operational work. This is a role for someone who is genuinely energised by working with people - warm, organised, and reliable - and who combines administrative excellence with the wish to maximise the potential of others.

You will provide the day-to-day administrative and coordination support that keeps the GA's work with congregations, ministers, and members running smoothly. You will be the first point of contact for many people who engage with the GA, and your ability to connect - to listen, to follow through, and to make people feel empowered, inspired, and part of something that matters - will shape their experience of the organisation.

We think of this role as needing three things in equal measure: people skills, administrative excellence, and organisational ability. Plenty of people are strong on one or two. We're looking for someone who ideally brings all three but we appreciate that's a bit of a unicorn, so please don't let that put you off applying.

What you’ll be doing 

• Congregational and membership administration - Serve as a first point of contact for enquiries, maintain accurate membership records, and support engagement across our wider community.
• Congregational support toolkit - Coordinate the production and publication of guidance materials, and host online meetings connecting community members with subject matter experts.
• Ministry and congregational support - Maintain key registers and records, coordinate the annual commitment-to-pay process, and triage our inbox with care and good judgement.
• Events support - Provide coordination support for the Annual Meeting and other GA events, working alongside our freelance events manager on registration, logistics, and communications.

See the attached job description for more details. 

What core skills and experience you’ll have 

Essential: 

• Experience in an administrative or coordination role, ideally in a charity, membership body, or similar organisation
• Experience working with volunteers, congregations, or membership communities — and an understanding of what sustains them
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, with the ability to hold multiple threads without losing sight of the people behind them
• Warm, clear written and verbal communication skills, adaptable to different audiences
• Confidence hosting and facilitating online meetings
• Confidence with databases and digital tools, and willingness to develop Salesforce skills

Desirable: 

• Familiarity with a CRM database (e.g. Salesforce, CiviCRM)
• Understanding of basic charity governance and administration

Please note: We've listed essentials and desirables in good faith, but we know no one is the finished article. If you bring the right values, approach, and most of the experience, we would love to hear from you. 

About the role 

• JOB TITLE: Administrative Coordinator

• LOCATION: Office-based hybrid. Minimum 2 days per week in our Central London office (Essex Hall, WC2)

• WORKING HOURS: Full-time 35 hours a week. Part-time applications (min. 4 days a week) considered. 

• SALARY: £28,000 - £32,000 per annum depending on experience 

• START DATE: ASAP 

Our benefits package includes 

• 30 days holiday, plus English bank holidays 

• Workplace pension scheme (7% Employer contribution) 

• Staff support budget for personal development and wellbeing
