Stonepillow, as the leading homelessness charity in Chichester and Arun, has adapted and grown significantly over recent years due to increased demand and the development of new and innovative service models.

Responsible for a small team, you will focus on the growth of major donor and stewardship strategy as well as leading on flagship events such as the’ Big Sleep Out’.  This will be an exciting, engaging and front facing role which will be critical in supporting Stonepillow in achieving our Mission and Vision.

Summary of Position:

• Position:  Fundraising, Events and Philanthropy Manager
• Reporting to:  Head of Partnerships, Communications and Fundraising
• Responsible for: Fundraising team members
• Salary: Circa £36,000 commensurate with experience. Please quote your current salary in your application.
• Hours of work: 37 hours worked flexibly to ensure the delivery of events and attendance at meetings outside core office hours. An hybrid option of working is available.

Employee benefits:

• Stakeholder pension scheme
• 25 days’ holiday, plus bank holidays

This is an exciting opportunity if you really want to drive income growth, enhanced supporter stewardship and really make a difference.

Petals generates amazing impact – sometimes we’re the only people there for parents experiencing the trauma of baby loss. Our clients love what we do, and a high number of them go on to support our vital work. Our hospital partners also love what we do, recognising and funding a gap in NHS provision for emotional support at the point of loss.

This is a lynchpin role within Petals, being accountable for all voluntary income raised to support the charity’s vital support to people who have experienced pregnancy or baby loss. In particular, the role needs to drive income growth through enhanced supporter stewardship to fund Petals’ ambition to provide a universal national counselling service, outside the areas in which the charity is NHS-funded.

The role therefore calls for an enthusiastic, creative, ambitious and self-motivated individual with both a strategic and operational aptitude for generating income and benefit-in-kind. Starting with a small base of active supporters you will have an opportunity to truly impact the charity’s growth and influence the expansion of Petals,

Specific fundraising experience may be in any of Community and Challenge Events (currently Petals’ largest voluntary income stream); Legacy/ In Memoriam; Philanthropy and Major Gifts; Corporate; or Individual Giving; but irrespective of specialism, you must be willing to experiment with a range of potential supporter propositions to create a balanced range of income sources with ambitious growth targets.

You must also have excellent customer service and organisational skills and be willing to work as part of a small management team comprising Communications/ Marketing, Partnerships, Fundraising and Counselling Services.

In return we can offer you an exciting and varied role and a flexible work life balance. Reporting directly to me, the CEO, you will have the opportunity to impact and influence the growth and expansion of our highly respected and valued specialist counselling service.

I hope that you like what you’ve read and will consider applying. To do so, please send an up to date CV and cover letter to  Karen Burgess, CEO of Petals.
