We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to identify and secure new funding from charitable trusts and foundations, and help ensure the sustainability of our work.

What you’ll be doing

You will be responsible for building and managing a range of multi-year, five and six-figure grants, working with some of the UK’s leading charitable organisations. You will research and target those whose criteria match our aims and activities, coordinate your pipeline with other members of the trusts and statutory team and ensure our work is sustainable and impactful.

Based in our development department, you will also work closely with programme managers and other members of staff across the organisation, including the senior management team.

What we’re looking for

You will be passionate about our work and support our values and ethos. You will be skilled at building new relationships with charitable trusts, foundations and other institutional funders to secure both single and multi-year grants, and have experience of managing and increasing grant giving among a portfolio of existing funders. You will be used to working to demanding income targets and able to manage multiple projects, identify conflicting demands and establish priorities to meet objectives.

Why our work is so vital

Poor literacy and resulting inequality is not inevitable. The National Literacy Trust improves the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of those who need it most, giving them the best possible chance of success.

We make society fairer. Poor literacy creates social and economic inequality. The one in six adults in the UK with poor literacy earn less, are less likely to vote and more likely to experience health inequalities.

We enable social mobility. A child without literacy skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they will be locked out of the job market. The pattern is intergenerational and starts at birth.

Our work is targeted at communities with the highest levels of disadvantage and the lowest levels of literacy. We support thousands of schools and early years settings, bringing in wonderful partners like the Premier League and the nation’s best publishers who bring literacy alive. We campaign to make literacy a priority for our nation’s leaders. Our research and analysis make us the leading authority on literacy and drive our interventions.

What we offer you

As well as a competitive salary, we offer benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, season ticket loans, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.

We support flexible working and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success, whoever you are.

While you will be based in our office in London, this role can be peformed primarily from home, and you would only be expected to attend for all staff days (approximately 3 per year), team strategy days (around 2 per year) and any in-person training or induction, and any in person funder meetings as required.

Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser with a background in securing income from charitable trusts and foundations to join our team. Groundswell has rapidly grown over the past few years; our #HealthNow campaign alongside the expansion of our Homeless Health Peer Advocate (HHPA) services and research consultancy across the country has grown our brand, networks and impact. Our turnover is just over £2million, bought in by a small but effective team generating income from a range of voluntary and statutory sources. Within Fundraising and Communications, we have a Director and a Communications Officer; yet colleagues across the organisation generate income from statutory sources and our social enterprises (research and training). We’re always working together to be as effective as possible.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join Groundswell – the value of taking a health approach to the homelessness crisis combined with our unique insight into the lived experience of homelessness is generating interest and opportunities. Nevertheless, we know that with the impact of COVID-19 on the economy, changes in commissioning and competition amongst charities who have had to change their fundraising approaches, means the future is unknown.

Working at Groundswell brings you a busy, positive, and enthusiastic environment which you’ll benefit from no matter where you are based. There is no shortage of dedicated staff and volunteers full of ideas on how to overcome homeless health inequalities and influence the sector to use the insight of lived experience to develop solutions to homelessness. You will be a crucial part of the team, working closely with the Senior Management Team, particularly the Fundraising and Communications Director to maintain relationships with our network of existing funders and grow Groundswell’s income. You will be experienced in trusts and foundations but enjoy variety in this role, for example engaging with corporate or individual supporters or assisting SMT with a statutory funding process. You will be a flexible worker with strong organisational, research and written communication skills. You will pride yourself in collaborative working to ensure the most successful chance of securing income, whilst being a self-starter who can manage their own workload effectively.

Application Process

Are you an inspiring leader with proven experience of managing creative and customer-focused teams to achieve success? Are you known for your skill at juggling ‘left brain / right brain’ work – switching effortlessly from detailed analysis to big, bold, creative thinking? Are you passionate about using insight to change how people think and how work gets done?

Head of Supporter Experience Responsibilities:

If the answer is yes, please read on.
At Alzheimer’s Society, our supporters are the heart and soul of what we do. They make change happen, whether by raising money, campaigning for social care reform, or volunteering to help people with dementia. As Head of Supporter Experience, your mission will be to make sure we’re giving each of these amazing people the most efficient, enriching and rewarding experience possible.

To achieve this, you’ll head up four complementary teams, spanning data analysis and insight, comms and supporter care. All make a crucial difference – directly or indirectly – to the practical and emotional experiences of our supporters. Day-to-day, you’ll use your expertise in manging high-performance teams to help maximise income and engagement from existing Fundraising activity. More widely, you’ll use your curiosity, energy and ‘even better if’ obsessiveness to embed a supporter experience mindset across the Fundraising directorate – working to understand supporters better, amplify their voices, and foster an internal culture of marginal gains so that they, and we, can do even more for people affected by dementia

Head of Supporter Experience Requirements:

You will have extensive experience of successfully managing and improving creative, insight or customer support teams. This need not have been in the charity sector, and you may well benefit from bringing fresh ideas to this role. You will have good familiarity with each of the areas you’ll be overseeing, and be as happy diving into the detail of a particular area as you are thinking big about the bigger picture.

An exceptional influencer and strategic thinker, your outstanding commercial acumen will quickly give you a deep understanding the needs of the business – from individual Fundraising campaigns to organisation-level planning. You will be someone to whom others gravitate for an expert view, while always recognising the limitations of your and your teams’ existing approach – pushing them, and those they support, to always think bigger and better about what they do.

About Alzheimer’s Society:

Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. With people affected by dementia among the worst hit by the pandemic, there has never been a more important or exciting time to join us and help to deliver the lasting change which people with dementia desperately need.
