We are in a search for a Senior Fundraising professional to join the organisation as the Head of Avon Tyrrell Capital Appeal,  who will be responsible for planning, managing, implementing and delivering a new capital fundraising appeal for Avon Tyrrell, UK Youth’s outdoor learning centre. 

This is an exciting and busy time to be joining UK Youth as we develop and implement the strategic plans for our next chapter. A key part of our new strategy is the investment in outdoor learning and the development of Avon Tyrrell, our outdoor learning centre in the New Forest, Hampshire. Avon Tyrrell has a 100-bed dormitory-style Grade I listed Calendar House, Grade II* Coach House and Grade II grounds.  With over 39,000 visitors each year the site is in need of urgent repair and investment to ensure we can continue to support young people now and in the future.

It is envisaged that this will be a 3-year project and is therefore being recruited on a fixed term contract basis.

Responsibilities will include: development of the appeal fundraising strategy, ensuring alignment with UK Youth Income Generation Strategy and realisation of the income generation targets; and supporting the finalisation of the development plans involving internal and external stakeholder engagement and consultation with relevant experts.

These factors lead to mass inequality of access to youth services for young people. To find more about us and how we make an impact, please visit UK Youth Website.

What can we offer you?

We offer a competitive range of benefits, good work/life balance, excellent learning and development opportunities and vibrant organisational culture.

Who we are:

The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust is a national charity that inspires young people aged 8-24 to imagine a new future through and beyond cancer treatment. When treatment ends our work begins, as for many young people simply picking up where they left off before their diagnosis just isn’t possible.

Through sailing and other outdoor activities, the Trust empowers young people to make friends with others who have had similar experiences (often for the first time), learn new skills, push their physical and mental boundaries, rebuild confidence and rediscover independence. Crucially, they stop feeling like the ‘only one’ and realise what they are capable of again. They can start looking positively towards the future.

The Trust has two bases - in Cowes on the Isle of Wight and Largs on Scotland’s West Coast – and employs a full-time team of 19. A number of seasonal staff are also recruited for the Trust’s main trip season (June-September). We work closely with the leading young people’s cancer charities and our NHS hospital partners to try to ensure every young person who needs support after the end of their treatment can join a trip, and stay involved, with the Trust.

Join a passionate, motivated, and collaborative organisation and help drive our three key strategic Ambitions to:

• Make meaningful connections with more young people
• Secure a diverse and robust income stream
• Improve the impact of our work

An exciting time to join, this new role will lead on our ambitious Trust and Grant income stream, working alongside the Philanthropy Fundraiser to share learnings and workload. Joining a small fundraising team, this role will have a meaningful impact in helping achieve our ambitious strategy and make a significant difference to young people living through and beyond cancer across the UK.

Why us?

The Trust is a close-knit and friendly organisation, which has a wide network of committed and passionate volunteers, and this ‘Trust family’ extends to our dedicated supporters and beneficiaries. Joining the Trust team provides the opportunity to see first-hand the ways in which the funding you secure enables young people to start to imagine a new future through and beyond cancer. From joining a trip during the summer, to attending the annual volunteer training day or fundraising events, staff can get fully involved and play their part as an integral member of the wider Trust team throughout the year.

Application process:

The successful applicant will be required to undertake a satisfactory enhanced DBS / PVG check and annual safeguarding training. References will be required.
