Fundraising Jobs
Purpose of the Post/Responsibilities
This is a full-time position reporting directly into the CEO/CFO with an expectation of being on site in the award-winning Caudwell International Children’s Centre in Staffordshire a minimum of 3 days a week, depending on meetings and events. We are seeking an inspirational leader with the ability to identify opportunities and grow diverse income lines to support the Charity’s expanding service delivery.
Responsible for the strategic management and development of the Charity’s income generation, this role will play a pivotal part in taking the Charity to the next level and helping to change the lives of disabled children across the UK and beyond.
The successful candidate will oversee the main public-facing fundraising activity for the Charity, providing strategic leadership and tactical supervision to a growing team of Fundraisers.
You will be expected to develop a robust and diverse fundraising portfolio across several designated income strands to generate increasing levels of fundraising income year-on-year.
It has been recognised that the Charity currently has minimal market share in most standard charity income lines and this role will be fundamental in developing the required infrastructure, resource and ‘products’ to begin growing market share over the medium to long term.
A primary responsibility of the role will be to assess, develop and implement a new donor management system; ensuring new and existing supporters have a clear communication and cultivation journey with assigned fundraisers adopting relationship responsibilities throughout.
The required standard levels of customer service and donor management for all supporter relations across the Charity will be established and promoted to ensure the required levels of consistency.
This growth will occur while maintaining and strengthening the established income lines which already exist, such as Events and Challenges.
Events are a part of Caudwell Children’s DNA and the single largest income generator in the Charity’s Fundraising Department, therefore there will be a specific focus on maintaining and developing this important department.
The role will initially be responsible for developing two designated teams of fundraising colleagues:
- Individual Giving (Team size: 3)
- (Wills & Legacy, Regular Gifts/Direct Debit, Major Gifts, Raffle/Lottery, Payroll Giving).
- Community Fundraising (Team size: 6)
- (Events, Challenges, Mass Participation, Street Collections).
Remaining income streams (Trusts & Foundations, Public Sector Funding, Earned Income and Trading Income) will be managed by the Director of Corporate Fundraising.
As part of the Senior Leadership Team the successful candidate will be responsible for reporting to the CEO/CFO and fellow Directors regularly on strategy and performance.
Monthly reporting to the Trustee Board and regular ad-hoc correspondence with Trustees will also be required.
Success will be monitored annually by the Trustee Board against KPI’s including income growth, ROI and market share.
Person Specification
- Significant experience in fundraising/sales/business development management.
- Demonstrable understanding of the charity sector and professional fundraising.
- Enthusiastic advocate of business planning and sales management.
- Considerable experience and competence in planning, developing and managing the operations of a successful Sales/Fundraising Team.
- Experience and skill in new business development.
- Willingness and ability to undertake basic administrative activities (not expecting of others what you would not do yourself).
- Highly computer literate with strong competence in using mainstream computing packages and products.
- Driven, proactive and productive self-starter – able to work efficiently and achieve a lot under their own steam but not afraid to ask questions when needed and manage up.
- An enthusiastic, driven and sensitive leader – able to inspire and encourage others to give their best.
- Well organised with the ability to prioritise and manage own (and other people's) workload.
- Confident, professional and friendly communicator with a hands on approach.
- Confident to ensure all work complies with Equal Opportunities, Health & Safety, Data Protection and other policies of Caudwell Children.

Charity People are honoured to be working with the fantastic First Days charity, on their search for their first ever Director of Fundraising to spearhead a new era of fundraising and take the charity into an exciting new era.
First Days was started in 2013 in response to needs in the local community in Berkshire. Quite simply: there were people with stuff they didn't need and people who desperately needed it. The charity grew very quickly and now, nearly eight years later, they have helped over 10,000 children, and distributed over 250 tonnes of donated goods.
Their aim for the charity is very clear: they want to close our doors because no one needs their service anymore. However, with 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK they actually need to do the opposite - they need to boldly transform our service in order to launch a project that has the capacity and capability to help children across the UK.
This is their first ever Director of Fundraising role, and the postholder has an incredibly exciting brief: to take fundraising to the next level, shape and deliver a new strategy as they see fit, and build a solid income foundation for years to come, transforming how fundraising is delivered for the charity.

- A full-time role, based out of their Wokingham office

- A company pension scheme, with 3% employer contributions
- A salary sacrifice electric car scheme
About the role
The role will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, and be integral to this new fundraising phase, with responsibility for building and delivering a new comprehensive strategy to achieve continued growth and impact. Initial focus will be on corporate partnerships, major donors, and grant applications, and ensure that marketing messages are aligned and across the organisation to maximise reach and fundraising potential.
About you:
They are looking for an individual with boundless ambition, a strategic mindset, and motivated by the potential to make their own stamp on how fundraising is done at First Days. Your fundraising experience across multiple income streams, combined with inspiring leadership qualities, networking prowess, strategic viewpoint and experience with high-level stakeholders will set you apart and ensure income targets are achieved across the team.
You will be able to demonstrate:
- Strategic planning and forecasting
- Experience of multiple income streams
- Delivering business growth
- Exceptional partnership and relationship qualities
- Managing budgets and KPI's
