Job description

Assistant Director of Fundraising (Major Donors)

Are you a senior major donor fundraiser ready to take on a broader leadership role — while helping bereaved children and young people rebuild their lives?

You will join a well-established UK charity supporting children, young people and families facing the devastating impact of bereavement. Through specialist counselling, group programmes, creative therapies and expert support, the organisation ensures that no child has to navigate grief alone.

As Assistant Director of Fundraising (Major Donors), you will combine hands-on relationship management with strategic leadership responsibility. This is more than a portfolio role — you will help shape the direction of income growth across the organisation.

In this role, you will:

  • Lead and grow a portfolio of high-value donors and prospects

  • Build meaningful, long-term relationships with high-net-worth supporters

  • Develop compelling proposals and secure significant multi-year gifts

  • Confidently lead donor meetings and make high-value financial asks

  • Own and drive the major donor pipeline, forecasting and income targets

  • Line manage and support fundraisers within the team

  • Work closely with senior leaders and trustees to maximise donor engagement

  • Use events strategically as cultivation and stewardship opportunities

  • Deputise for the Director of Income Generation and contribute to strategic planning

You will bring:

  • A strong track record of securing major gifts

  • Deep understanding of major gift pipeline management and income forecasting

  • Experience working to ambitious financial targets

  • Confidence operating at senior stakeholder level

  • Excellent written skills and the ability to craft persuasive proposals

  • Strong CRM and data management capability

  • The leadership skills to influence peers and drive collaboration

Most importantly, you will be values-driven, emotionally intelligent and motivated by the opportunity to help young people find hope and resilience after loss.

Why this role?

You will have genuine strategic influence. You will shape a growing major donor programme. And you will see directly how the income you secure transforms the lives of bereaved children and families.

If you are ready to step into a role that blends leadership, strategy and meaningful donor relationships — we would love to hear from you.
