About the Job
It is an important time at Sophie Hayes Foundation. Our strategy ‘Sustainable Freedom from Modern Slavery’ has launched and the charity is in a period of exciting transformation. This role is essential for the delivery of the strategy and ensuring that survivors of modern slavery, human trafficking, and exploitation have access to the support and opportunities they need to achieve their aspirations, independence, and a positive future – with soaring numbers of referrals to the NRM and thousands more victims living in fear of a hostile environment, this has never been more important than now.

But we cannot do this work without funds. Alongside a small, friendly, and dedicated team, you will coordinate and deliver a range of fundraising activities.

About You

This role would suit someone looking for meaningful, creative, and varied work, in an enthusiastic and motivated team.

You may have started to build a career in charity fundraising, corporate business development, or related areas.

You may have gained some experience across multiple different types of fundraising and development such as grant applications; donor relationships; community events; or institutional bidding.

You may enjoy networking and relationship building; designing creative projects, bids, activities, and events; and also, be comfortable with data management via a CRM.

We would love a team member who is efficient, reliable, creative, enthusiastic and ready to get stuck in helping across our range of fundraising activities.

We welcome applications from individuals with a range of skills and experience drawn from their professional and personal lives. We are happy to discuss adaptations to the role and the recruitment process.

If you find this role exciting and feel you have some, but not all the skills needed, please do reach out for a conversation.

What You’ll Do

• Trusts & grants: Work with the Development & Communications Manager to write and submit compelling funding applications to trusts, foundations and grant-making bodies to secure new and repeat funding.

• Scout for, build and maintain relationships with existing and new funders, donors, and partners, ensuring ongoing engagement and support.

• Other duties which may arise under the implementation of the new strategy, as directed by the Development & Communications Manager.

About Lumos

Lumos is an international children’s charity founded in 2005 by the author J.K. Rowling to end the harmful practice of institutionalisation of children. Lumos’s mission is to fight for every child’s right to a family by transforming care systems around the world.  Our vision is for all children to grow up in safe and loving families. 

Despite clear evidence of the harms of institutionalisation, an estimated 5.4 million children worldwide continue to live in institutions. Separated from their families and communities, these children are deprived of the love, attention and opportunities they need to thrive. Our three-pronged approach is to prevent family separation, to protect children and to promote care reform. We’ve made important progress in closing harmful institutions and reuniting children with their families. And where children are unable to live with their birth families, we promote alternative family-based care, such as kinship care and quality foster care.  Thanks to our tireless efforts alongside many other champions of care reform, the harms of institutionalisation are now more widely understood. A global movement is underway and the UN, the EU and some large development agencies have joined individual countries in pledging to change how they care for vulnerable children.  We are committed to ensuring that global policy commitments are translated into local action, leading to sustainable change for vulnerable children.
