3 Fundraising director jobs in City of London, England

Hope and Homes for Children believes every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving family. We work to make that a reality, transforming the way children are cared for and helping create lasting change for children, families and communities globally.

We have a distinctive mission, a strong track record and a compelling story to tell. Now we have an opportunity to build on those foundations and grow our income and influence, so that we can reach more children and families.

We are looking for an ambitious and innovative fundraising leader to help us realise that potential.

This is an opportunity to shape HHC’s fundraising strategy and lead us into a new period of growth. You will get under the skin of the organisation, understand where our greatest opportunities lie and develop a focused, ambitious strategy that turns our strengths into sustainable income and greater impact. You will drive innovation and be accountable for sharpening our propositions, strengthen our pipeline, develop important relationships and help us focus our efforts where they can make the greatest difference.

You will lead Fundraising, Marketing and Communications as one connected function (one team), with fundraising at its heart. You will bring clarity and momentum to how we identify opportunities, develop prospects, build relationships and turn them into commitments. You will also ensure our marketing and communications bring our work to life, engage the audiences who matter and strengthen our fundraising, influence and reputation.

We need someone who can see the bigger picture, anticipates change with donors, make clear choices and turn ambition into results. Someone who brings energy, curiosity and sound judgement; who builds trust, takes accountability, challenges constructively and brings people with them; and who understands that sustainable growth comes from compelling propositions, purposeful relationships and following opportunities through.

Above all, this is a chance to help build the resources and relationships that enable HHC to change more children’s lives.

About you
We are interested in a broad range of backgrounds. You might be an established Director looking for the opportunity to shape the next phase of an organisation, or an ambitious Head of Fundraising, Deputy Director or fundraising leader ready to take your first Director-level role.

What matters most is the quality of your fundraising leadership, your ability to think strategically and deliver results, and your appetite to make things happen. You will bring a strong track record of growing income and developing relationships, alongside the judgement and resilience to anticipate and respond to a fast-changing fundraising landscape. You will also have introduced new approaches that opened up new audiences and income.

You don’t need to have worked in international development. You do need to be curious about HHC’s work, motivated by our mission and excited by the opportunity to use your experience to help children grow up in the families they need and deserve.

Location: Hybrid / remote working with regular travel to the London or Wilton office for meetings, or office based with flexible and home-working options for part of the week.
