Director of Fundraising & Engagement
Salary - £65,000 - £70,000 dependent on experience
Location: London with hybrid working
Unlocking Potential is a growing charity supporting children and families with their social, emotional and mental health. They are entering an exciting phase of growth, with ambitious longer term plans to expand their reach nationally and deepen their impact.
This is a pivotal new role as the charity’s first ever Director of Fundraising and Engagement, building on strong foundations to strategically lead the next phases of growth and development by driving sustainable income growth, diversifying funding, and raising their organisational profile.
This is a rare opportunity to shape a function from modest beginnings, while delivering immediate impact in a highly mission-driven organisation.
As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, you will lead the development and delivery of a joined-up fundraising, engagement and communications strategy aligned to the organisational strategy and ambitions for growth.
Current fundraised income is c.£950k (weighted towards trusts and major donors) and the Director of Fundraising & Engagement will play a key role in shaping how the charity diversifies into new income streams while strengthening existing relationships.
This is a hands-on leadership role: you’ll combine strategic vision with operational delivery – from securing high-value gifts and building trustee-supported networks, to refining cases for support and overseeing campaigns.
We’re looking for a strategic, confident and adaptable leader who thrives in growing organisations and enjoys building as they go.
As Director of Fundraising & Engagement you will:
- Develop and deliver a clear fundraising strategy focused on growth, diversification and sustainability
- Lead an integrated engagement and communications approach to increase visibility and influence
- Personally manage and grow relationships with major donors, trusts and strategic partners
- Unlock and maximise trustee and senior stakeholder networks
- Identify and build new income pipelines (e.g. corporate, community, unrestricted funding)
- Lead impactful campaigns, events and communications outputs
- Embed systems, processes and a culture of fundraising across the organisation
You will bring:
- A strong track record of senior fundraising leadership
- Experience driving income growth and diversification strategies, with personal expertise weighted to trusts and/or major donor fundraising
- Confidence working both strategically and operationally
- Exceptional relationship-building skills, including engaging trustees and high-level networks
- Strong judgement, emotional intelligence and the ability to influence and bring people with you
- Financial confidence, including forecasting income and advising on growth ambitions
Please get in touch as soon as possible to express an initial interest, the deadline for applications (CV and cover letter) is Thursday 2nd July, with 1st stage interviews commencing on 9th and 10th July.

Assistant Director of Income Generation Opportunity
Second-in-command for income generation, with real scope to shape how fundraising works
This is a broad, outward-facing role, combining leadership, oversight and hands-on delivery. Alongside helping shape how the team operates, you will lead and grow major donor fundraising, building relationships with high-value supporters, owning a portfolio, and playing a central role in securing significant gifts.
About the Organisation
The charity was founded by Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, and works to offer a way through the anxiety, fear and isolation so often caused by grief. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is life changing.
An open-access charity, funded by the generosity of supporters, they are here to help ease the pain and confusion caused by the death of a parent or sibling. Services include one-to-one counselling, music therapy, grief relief kits and much more.
What matters?
The vision of a world where no child grieves alone. The mission? To give every child, young person and their families access to the best possible support following the death of someone close.
Leading with empathy and kindness, putting people first.
If you join the team…
You’ll be a senior leader in the Income Generation team, working closely with the Director of Income to help lead a nine-strong team and shape how the function develops. You will provide day-to-day management support, help bring structure and consistency to ways of working, and play a key role in building a collaborative, supportive culture across the team.
Alongside management and strategy duties, you will lead on Major Donors fundraising, building strong and lasting relationships with major donors while confidently leading on stewardship. You’ll help to secure sustainable income in a wholly donation-funded model, while raising awareness of childhood bereavement.
Ultimately, you’ll help create a more resilient, well-structured fundraising function that can deliver consistent year-on-year growth. We look forward to welcoming you to a team that upholds values of integrity, compassion and excellence.
You’ll initially be asked to upload a CV to begin your application. This is just to get you started – you’ll then receive the full Candidate Information Pack before submitting a formal application to the client. At that stage, you’ll have the opportunity to review and tailor your CV if you wish.
Don’t think you quite meet all the specifications? Please don’t count yourself out. We’d still love to learn more about your interest in joining the team!
We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential. If you have a disability or require reasonable adjustments during the application or interview process, please contact us so we can support you appropriately.
