Headway UK– the brain injury association, supports thousands of people every year. Our events are a crucial part of how we raise awareness, generate income, and build a passionate community of supporters. We’re looking for an experienced, creative and highly organised Fundraising Events Manager to take our programme to the next level.

You will also steward supporters through major third party events, such as the London Marathon, Great North Run and the London Landmarks Half Marathon, providing the best supporter experience.

The role will lead and develop the Fundraising Coordinator, providing effective line management to ensure high performance and professional growth.

Working closely with the wider Fundraising Team and the Communications Team, you will ensure every event is safe, engaging and memorable, and that every supporter receives an exceptional journey with Headway.

With an established events calendar and opportunities for innovation, this role offers the chance to make a tangible impact while helping to grow an events income stream currently worth approximately £360,000.

  • Manage budgets, health and safety, logistics and evaluation.
  • Build strong relationships with participants, volunteers, suppliers and corporate partners.
  • Work closely with the Communications Team to deliver effective, engaging marketing.

  • Proven experience in planning and delivering a diverse range of events
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects
  • Excellent communication and relationship building skills
  • Understanding of fundraising principles and supporter engagement
  • Experience of budgets, evaluation and health and safety
  • Creativity, problem‑solving skills and a passion for delivering high‑quality experiences
  • Ability to lead, support and develop others
  • A commitment to safeguarding, equality, and Headway’s values

You will be joining a supportive, passionate and collaborative charity committed to improving life after brain injury.
