About Quest for Learning

Quest for Learning is an education charity working to close the gap for primary school children in Oxfordshire who are falling behind due to disadvantage.

We work closely with schools to deliver targeted, evidence-led literacy and numeracy programmes that help children build the skills, confidence and foundations they need to thrive. Many of the children we support are growing up in poverty, facing barriers linked to low family literacy, unmet additional needs, unstable home circumstances, or limited access to wider opportunities.

Our programmes are delivered by experienced professional tutors and are built around structured interventions, strong school partnerships and measurable outcomes. On average, pupils supported through our small-group tutoring make around 13 months of progress in just 10 hours of support.

Quest for Learning is entering an important new stage of development. Following a period of organisational growth and strategic transition, we are investing in building a more sustainable and ambitious fundraising function that can deepen our impact and reach more children across Oxfordshire.

This is an opportunity to play a central role in shaping that journey.

Why join us?

You will work closely with the CEO, programme staff and trustees, with access to strong impact data, established programmes and a compelling case for support.

Plan International UK is a global children’s charity striving for an equal world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.   
 
We bring people together to protect children’s rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes. And we won’t stop until we are all equal. 
 
This is an exciting moment to join our major donor programme. We have doubled major donor income in the last two years, and we have ambitious plans to do even more with our brilliant supporters. You would be joining a high-performing team with real momentum behind it, leading a critical and growing income stream through a pivotal period. 
 
As Major Donor Manager, you will lead the strategic direction of our major donor programme and the team behind it. This is a senior role responsible for managing and developing three philanthropy officers, holding oversight of the full portfolio, and leading our new business and prospecting effort.
 
Rather than holding a personal portfolio of live donors, which we will keep stable for our supporters during this period, you will own and drive the prospect pipeline through to the point of ask: shaping every approach, planning cultivation, and progressing new business, with high-value asks routed through the Philanthropy Lead and wider team to protect continuity for our partners. You will also drive the next phase of our giving circle, shape our events programme, and work closely with our Director of Fundraising, Trustees and senior volunteers to open doors and secure multi-year, six-figure support.
 
You will be an experienced major donor professional with the track record and judgement to lead a programme and team. Specifically, you will bring:

• Substantial experience of securing high-value gifts from high-net-worth individuals and building lasting relationships.
• A genuine appetite for developing people, with the skill to coach, motivate and grow an emerging team.
• The interpersonal skills to influence and collaborate with senior internal and external stakeholders, including Trustees and Leadership Forum.
• The instinct and pace to pick up an established programme quickly and drive the new business pipeline with confidence through a transition.
• A passion for our values, our feminist leadership principles and our vision for girls’ equality
