Applications close: 9 a.m. Monday 14th July 2025
Location: Leeds (regular travel to Bradford and to events, donor meetings and networking)
About Leeds Community Foundation and GiveBradford
Through flexible and responsive grant making, we enable and strengthen community organisations that are the backbone of our city, because when they thrive, so do our communities – and all of us benefit.
Leeds Community Foundation oversees four distinct charities, including Bradford District Community Foundation (GiveBradford). This means we have separate trustees responsible for our work in Leeds and in Bradford and can develop complementary but distinct strategies to make the most of partnerships at national and regional levels alongside appealing to donors with a specific passion of place.
For over 20 years, we’ve been helping donors invest and distribute more than £65 million to benefit communities across our city and the wider region where it can make the most difference, and we hold about £50m philanthropic capital on behalf of a wide range of donors at any one time.
As a trusted partner to businesses, foundations and professional advisors, we’ve delivered countless strategic giving programmes with life-changing outcomes.
Now, more than ever, our communities need us. With growing social, economic and climate pressures, grassroots community organisations have never been more vital, but with demand soaring and resources stretched, they’ve never been at greater risk. That’s why we’ll continue to develop partnerships, invest where it’s needed and build a fairer future, together.
About the role
Sitting on Leeds Community Foundation’s senior leadership team, the Director of Philanthropy and Partnerships will develop a new income generation strategy, focusing on high-value, sustainable philanthropy, and a new proactive Communications strategy showcasing the Foundation as the go-to place for philanthropy in Leeds and Bradford.
The role will be a strategic leader in the organisation, deputising for the CEO where needed and representing the charity externally, while also personally delivering 6- and 7-figure gifts from new and existing supporters.
Who we are looking for
- Senior-level experience in income generation through philanthropic and/or corporate partnerships.
- Proven success in securing significant gifts from individuals or institutions.
- Familiarity with professional advisory networks, corporate and private wealth giving.
- Experience developing and delivering cross-channel communications strategies, ideally within a values-led or mission-driven organisation.
- Experience of line management and/or leading cross-team workstreams with the ability to lead a high-performing team.
- Existing networks across Bradford and Leeds would be a real advantage.
- Strategic thinker with a focus on growth, innovation and influence.
- Skilled communicator with a confident, persuasive presentation style.
- Ability to craft compelling narratives and develop messaging that resonates with diverse audiences.
- Demonstrates strong judgement on critical matters and can make informed, timely and effective decisions.

Our vision is for every church in the Portsmouth area to provide a home for
people who’ve been homeless. We dream of ending homelessness by partnering
with local churches to grow positive, prayerful support networks around people
who’ve been homeless, as well as providing a safe, stable place to live.
Right now, in and around Portsmouth, we have 11 houses, with 28 tenants being
befriended and loved by 8 churches – all set up since 2018. And we’re not
stopping there, with more churches and areas looking to join us.
When we provide people with a safe home, professional support and the security
of positive relationships, this helps them find the confidence, motivation and
hope for change. Then we are able to support them in moving on to their own
secure accommodation.
The Franchise Lead is key to keeping our growing organisation strong and
Christian, partnering with churches to show God’s love to tenants no matter
what they are facing. We want to grow without ever losing the quality of support
that we offer to our tenants. Are you up for this exciting challenge?
Key aspects of the role include:
• Overall: our vision is to see each individual and family thrive in our
homes, and to see more local churches wanting to “house the homeless.”
• Develop and equip the team to ensure tenants thrive in safe, supportive
environments. We currently have 6 staff.
• Work with local churches so that their friendship & support teams are
empowered, equipped, and prayerful; promote the charity so that new
ones want to get involved.
• Ensure current investors feel engaged and valued; and promote the
charity so that new ones come on board.
• Ensure that the charity has the highest safeguarding, property and quality
standards, liaising with national and regional Hope into Action teams.
Essential attributes required:
• Proven experience in managing programs and teams with compassion and
professionalism.
• Exceptional organisational and communication skills to inspire tenants,
churches, and stakeholders.
• A heart for vulnerable adults and a deep understanding of homelessness
issues.
• A resourceful, emotionally intelligent, prayerful leader with a strong
Christian faith.
This post is subject to an occupational requirement that the holder be a Christian
under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.
