The University

Our University has a proud history of philanthropy stretching back to its foundation in 1900.  With a clear vision to change the lives of the people of Birmingham, Joseph Chamberlain raised the funds required to build the University from citizens and corporations based locally and around the globe. Since then philanthropy has continued to play an important role in shaping the University. Having closed the Circles of Influence Campaign in 2015, which raised £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London, we have chosen to launch another, Birmingham in Action.  This is the fifth largest fundraising campaign in the modern history of UK Higher Education.

The University has global reach, including several partnerships with other leading universities around the world, and is grounded in its local community, having opened the first fully comprehensive University secondary school in the country in 2015.  It is also an innovative institution, being the first University to incorporate a Medical School, the first to create a students’ union, and the first to offer a women’s hall of residence.  We are an ambitious and successful research-intensive University (one of the top 100 research-led universities globally) and have produced 11 Nobel Prize winners, including three who received their awards in 2016.  

Our student body is one of the largest and most diverse in the UK. Our students come from nearly 150 countries and our flagship outreach programmes mean that almost 25% of our student population come from disadvantaged backgrounds, one of the highest proportions in the UK.  

The Office

The Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) exists to support this academic and student community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities.  The Office, which comprises nearly 60 staff across four teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from alumni and individuals who are passionate about our five current campaign themes: everyone getting an education; treating and preventing cancer; families fleeing war, violence and famine; young people’s mental health; and protecting our planet.

The campaign has been planned, the framework created; it is unique and hugely ambitious, and will see Birmingham become one of the leading fundraising and volunteering universities in the world.  

The Role

We are now looking for an Associate Director of Fundraising to maximise our enormous income generation potential; coach, nurture and challenge the well-established fundraising team; and deliver a bold and innovative strategy to support this exciting campaign, raising significant gifts yourself as you do.

You will join our core team of 21 dedicated professionals who work alongside external specialists and a large team of volunteers to ensure our families get the support they deserve.

Who we are and what we do

We could spend days telling you how phenomenal we are but it would be best if you looked at our website to see who we are, what we do and the impact we have.

By way of a short introduction SNAP (Special Needs and Parents) is a Brentwood based organisation that supports Essex families who have children, aged 0-25, with any special need or disability. We aim to inform, encourage and support parents so that they can grow in strength and knowledge and become better equipped to give the best possible help to their children. Over the past 27 years (supporting 5523 families) we have gained an in-depth understanding of the everyday demands encountered when a child has an additional need or disability. At the heart of our work we aim to help and empower the whole family, enabling them to meet the challenges they face by providing a safe environment which offers a wide range of support and specialist services.

In these uncertain times, despite the insecurity and fearfulness of COVID-19 SNAP has found ways to remain a key point of contact and support for families. The switch to remote working enabled us to be there for our families; at the end of the phone and via zoom.  We have been able to continue to offer music therapy, yoga, parent training sessions, counselling, drama and even several virtual fundraising events during this period, whilst dealing with 3,331 Helpline calls and emails from existing and new families, proving how vital SNAP’s work is.

The role and its responsibilities

As a member of the senior leadership team you will work closely with the Board of Trustees and the Director of Family Services to nurture the culture, strategy, systems and structure within SNAP to ensure it continues to deliver outstanding services that support our families.

This is a unique role where you will have the opportunity to create and implement a forward-looking visionary strategy to support the aims and objectives of SNAP. Always looking at the bigger picture, you will be a central figure in the success of SNAP over the coming years.

The actual role is varied but in summary the successful candidate will work closely with the Treasurer and be responsible for:

• Leading the finance team in maintaining strong financial and budgetary management controls.
• Producing regular management accounting, cash flow reports, forecasting and financial analysis to ensure SNAP has the strong sustainable foundations that underpin work with our families.
• Strategic management of our Fundraising and Marketing team that encompasses all corporate and community fundraising alongside our statutory and grants application team.
• Managing our HR, IT and facilities management functions to ensure best practice in all operational and administrative areas.

What can you offer SNAP?

Are you:

• An inspiring leader, with a strong collaborative approach that fosters participation and “buy-in”
• An individual who has a proven track record in a senior commercial management role, preferably from a charity or a not for profit organisation
• Someone who is familiar with Charity Commission Guidance and Regulations for best practice Governance and confident in implementing these for everyday use
