NMC is a small and unique medical charity that diagnoses and treats primary headaches, the most common of which are ‘migraines’. We are registered with the Care Quality Commission and led by Consultant Neurologist specialising in Headache. Covid drove a restructuring and care is delivered remotely, mostly by video appointments. We conduct a small number of procedures using third party clinical locations. Our goal is to increase in scale by a factor of x10, to treat tens of thousands of patients and support through targeted projects many more. There are several million people in the UK we should be helping!

We are seeking someone to develop the Trusts and Foundations pipeline quickly but who has the desire and ability to contribute across all fundraising channels. The successful candidate will work closely with the CEO to achieve key fundraising goals. We need to diversify our income streams and develop a holistic fundraising strategy.

Founded in 1963, we operate as an independent charity with a vision to make a real difference to people’s lives by improving the quality of mathematics education and learning.

We are passionate about mathematics and mathematics education, and the users of our services are at the centre of what we do.

We also promote innovation through ground-breaking development work and awareness raising.

We work at the forefront of innovation in education. To maintain and build on this innovation and leadership we hope to work with a wider range of donors who share our aspirations for improved maths education for everyone. The fundraising trustee is a new role to help us steer this new ambition.

• To safeguard the good name and values of the organisation.
• To ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.

• To secure the appointment of the Chief Executive and monitor his/her performance.

It is expected that the new Trustee will:

• have senior strategic level experience or as a charity Trustee;
• understand the role of the Trustee and be able to add value to the charity through expertise, counsel and sound judgement;
• understand the competing pressures (financial, operational, personnel) involved in running a complex organisation;
• have experience of dealing with the challenges associated with delivering organisational and governance changes;
• have a broad range of business and financial skills and experience;
• be able to contribute strategically on a wide range of issues;
• take collective responsibility for the direction of the organisation, be good at working in teams, and able to be effective in a complex organisational environment where significant cross-boundary collaboration and partnership are essential.
• In addition to these generic duties and responsibilities, the specific responsibilities of the fundraising trustee will entail the following:
  • To have a substantial background in either a corporate giving/CSR or fund/foundation management role, or as a senior charity fundraiser with a sound understanding and experience of charity fundraising at strategic and operational levels.
  • Bring overall leadership and drive as the Fundraising Trustee, supporting the development and overall governance of MEI’s fundraising and related communications strategy, working closely with the CEO and Trustee for Finance.
  • To ensure that there is the right breadth and depth of fundraising and related communications skills within MEI and the Board of Trustees, with access to the right networks, in order that the charity is in the best possible position to develop and deliver high quality strategies in fundraising and related communications.
  • To be an active member of the Finance, Audit and Risk (FAR) Committee, ensuring that fundraising and related communications strategies are aligned to the wider budget strategy.

MEI is committed to promoting and ensuring equality and valuing diversity.

We're proud to be heading up the search party for one of the UK's leading children's charities who are looking for a Philanthropy Manager covering the North West patch. This is an established patch within a successful, growing philanthropy team and a brilliant opportunity to gain national charity experience working to support some of the region's most vulnerable children.

Home-based with tons of flexibility, it's a grown-up culture open to suggested working patterns with a charity that understands the importance of life and family-friendly working. Condensed hours, a 9-day fortnight and 4 days per week are all possible.

You'll be working with high net worth individuals to secure major gifts across a wide ranging portfolio including some established 7-figure relationships. Working closely with existing major donors and colleagues across corporate and community fundraising teams, there is plenty of opportunity to open up this network and make new connections, as well as using your creative business development head to find untrodden paths.

Ideally, we're looking for a major gifts expert, although this role could work equally well with a talented corporate fundraiser or a candidate from the commercial sector with experience of high-net worth individuals. You're used to operating at six-figure level with senior stakeholders and have the gravitas to steward key donors strategically.

Whatever your background, you're highly motivated and target driven with exceptional stewardship and relationship management skills who is comfortable in making significant asks. This isn't the job for a maverick: you'll need to be a collaborative team player who understands that a sharing and supportive culture yields better results and that, sometimes, a colleague will be better placed to manage a relationship than you.

If this is you, please send a copy of your CV to Charity People's North West consultant, Amelia Lee, for lots more detail.

Closing date: 9am on 1st November

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.

Camphill is a worldwide movement with over 100 independent charities (often referred to as ‘communities’) supporting individuals with additional support needs to lead meaningful lives and to reach their fullest potential. The organisation began here, in Scotland, in 1939 through a group of Austrian refugees. They sought societal change in the way disadvantaged and vulnerable people were treated and cared for. There are 11 Camphill charities in Scotland, from Aberdeen to Dumfries and Galloway, supporting over 500 people from early childhood through to older age. In Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire, there are 7 Camphill charities. Camphill Estates owns the land occupied by 5 of them. They are independent charities but work together under the Camphill Estates umbrella for the common good.

Each community varies in size and different communities specialise in working with people at different stages in their lives. These communities can be found in urban and in rural settings and although each community offers different opportunities, they all share a common life-sharing community ethos:

Everyone is appreciated for who they are, their unique personality and the special qualities they bring to community life.

Camphill Estates has engaged in fundraising at a fairly low level over the years but its ambitions have changed and so has its approach to fundraising. Recent work with consultants has produced a master plan for the estate which includes a list of capital projects costing at least £15million. This has lead to the creation of the post of Director of Fundraising to transform the fundraising operation and raise the money to deliver these projects.

If you love the Camphill ethos and would love to be part of this community as well as improving the quality of life and services for the service users, then please consider this opportunity. As the salary indicates, you will need to be a very experienced and senior fundraiser who is expert in multiple income streams, not least grants and trusts and major donor fundraising. You will have grown income in your previous organisations to a significant level. You must have delivered at least one capital appeal, on time and on target. You will also be a great strategist, leader and manager who can inspire an organisation and team to deliver success. You will also have oversight of the fundraising communications and marketing, so should have lead on this function too.

Please contact BTA to request an information pack, full job description and person specification.
