About Innovations for Learning

Innovations for Learning (IfL) is a small but growing charity, which is working to ensure that every child in the UK acquires the literacy skills they need for their to thrive and fulfil their potential. Many children fall behind with reading simply because they lack the opportunity to practise.

Our model is to partner with local and national businesses which recruit their own employees as volunteer readers and provide funding for the programme.

Barnardo’s is the largest national children’s charity in the UK. We protect, support, and nurture the UK's vulnerable children. We help hundreds of thousands of children, young people, parents, and carers via our 800+ diverse services across the UK. The scale of what we do may be big and complex, but our aim is simple – to provide better outcomes for more children, no matter who they are or what they have been through. We are committed to working in partnership to reach more Children, Young People, and families.

Our current Director of Commercial & Business Development – Children’s Services will be leaving having developed a very successful directorate, and we are now seeking to recruit an exceptional candidate to build on our sector-leading commercial activity. Reporting to our Corporate Director of Development & Innovation, your key responsibilities will include:

• Aligning all areas of the business development and commercial strategy to support Barnardo’s vision, purpose, objectives, identifying opportunities and robust solutions.
• Providing strategic leadership and oversight of our commercial business lines operations, including our Family Placement, Gap Homes, and Employer Training Services businesses, with a combined 600 staff and turnover of £42m

• Delivering commercial expertise and advice into high value and pan-regional bids and their implementation in partnership with regional and national Children Services operational teams, frontline services, and corporate teams
• Leading improvements to the quality of all tendering activity across Barnardo’s, which will continually increase the positive outcomes achieved through competitive bids
• As a senior leader, working with key stakeholders to develop and innovate our approach to strategic partnerships, system change and operational services to address the needs of Children and young people, commissioners, and funders

This is not a traditional business development role. The focus of your work will be strategic, proactive, market development, working closely with our partners and commissioners to co-design and co-produce interventions that change the system and deliver better outcomes for more children.

The successful candidate will have strong commercial acumen and be adept at identifying opportunities, creating partnerships, and assessing risk/reward. You will ideally have experience of working with children’s services or another setting where services work with high risk, vulnerable groups. You’ll need a good understanding of tendering and contracts in the public sector, and a breadth of operational leadership experience to provide oversight and support to the managers of our commercial businesses.

If you’re driven by a passion to make a difference to young people’s lives, we want to hear from you. Your ability to succeed in this role will have a tangible impact on children and young people both by directly raising income that funds our vital services, and by creating new approaches that can reach more children and young people.

With gene therapy now available on the NHS as treatment for some forms of sight loss and therapies for other forms now at phase 3 clinical trials, we have never been closer to relegating sight loss to the history books. Now is the time to ramp up investment and build stronger partnerships, not rest on our laurels.

As the leading UK charity dedicated to stopping sight loss through pioneering research, Fight for Sight is at the forefront of making the above aim a reality. With a visually-impaired CEO joining us, who will soon be launching our new 5-year strategy, we are putting the lived experience of those with sight loss at the heart of what we do. Off the back of incredible success across our 2017 – 2022 strategy and a near 100% increase in income, we’ve never been better placed for success.

We currently invest over £8 million into 159 research projects across 44 leading universities and hospitals around the UK, funding some of the brightest minds in science. We are determined to create a world that everyone can see, and we have the resources and networks needed to make it happen.

The Role

You will be taking over an established trusts portfolio of c.£1.5m, made up of around 400 trust mailing respondents, 100 small donors. 50 medium donors, and 4 donors providing large strategic gifts. Whilst the programme doesn’t run itself, it is built on solid foundations and has a framework of extremely strong relationships; the programme is primed for growth and we’re excited to meet the person whose passion will help us achieve this.

The last few years has seen us become the first medical research partner of a number of large foundations, and those relationships continue to develop and flourish. We’re able to clearly explain our work and demonstrate the impact it will have on people’s lives. Our ability to engage with these non-traditional donors is a clear sign of the strength of our message.

We are routinely commended for being able to demonstrate our impact and the through-line from cutting-edge research to real-world application, above and beyond that seen from some of the country’s largest medical research charities. We know what we’re doing and we do it well.

Why you should apply

If the 10% non-contributory pension, inclusive and supportive culture, and exciting plans for the future don’t cinch it for you… Then you should join because this is an incredible role for someone who is looking to take the next step in their career; our trust fundraising programme has fantastic foundations and fundamentals, the investment and organisation is in place to facilitate growth and our appetite for change and new ideas is large. In short, if you want to take everything you’ve learned to date and sculpt a trust fundraising programme that is your version of perfect, with the full support of our board and SLT, then this is the place to do it.
