Third Solutions encourages applications from individuals of all ages & backgrounds. Appointment will be made on merit alone but candidates must be able to demonstrate their ability to work in the UK. Third Solutions acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment & an employment business for temporary recruitment as defined by the Conduct of Employment Agencies & Employment Business Regulations 2003.

We are currently looking for a full time permanent Philanthropy Manager to join our team.

The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award is a non-formal education and learning framework operating in more than 130 countries and territories around the world, through which young people’s achievements outside of academia are recognised and celebrated.

We at The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Foundation are the engine that drives and supports the Award’s growth, access and impact across the globe.

It is our long term ambition that every eligible young person aged 14 – 24 will have the opportunity to participate in the Award. Our vision is that 20% of them are from at risk and marginalised communities for whom the Award can be truly life-changing.

The purpose of this role is primarily to build long lasting, highly engaged philanthropic relationships. This includes donor research, due diligence, recruitment, renewal, development and delivery of appropriate communications material and donor relationship management.

We are looking for an experienced and self-assured major gifts fundraiser who can proactively lead, cultivate and steward major donors internationally, predominantly with a focus on 5/6 figure gifts.

The role will work closely alongside one other Philanthropy Manager to build a comprehensive relationship with our incredibly generous donor groups, ensuring that they feel part of our charitable work, feel able to contribute and able to introduce their friends and colleagues to our work. It is envisaged that this role will require an even split between front facing donor engagement and high-quality donor relationship management.

To apply for this role, please enure that you submit a cover letter with your CV. 

The closing date for applications is the 16 July 2020. Interviews will take place shortly after the closing date and we are looking for the successful candidate to start as soon as possible.

This job is unlikely to attract a Tier 2 Certificate of Sponsorship (formerly a work permit).

To apply for a Tier 2 Certificate of Sponsorship, employers need to demonstrate that they are unable to recruit a resident worker before recruiting an individual overseas.

Voluntary Income in The Church of England is over £800M a year, and funds most of the church's mission and ministry. The Church of England has adopted a National Giving Strategy for 2020-2025 that will invest in different ways to encourage giving within its churches.

The clergy have a critical leadership role to play in encouraging generosity and giving to the church, but often feel reluctant and lacking in confidence to fulfil this role. Currently giving is not taught to any significant degree in ordination training, and training for clergy within dioceses is limited and variable. This is an endemic and deep-rooted issue within the church - it has been this way for at least 100 years, probably much longer - and so the cultural change required will take determination and patience.

As Generous Giving Training Manager, you will create online and face to face clergy training resources and work with the Giving Advisors, to enable this to be delivered across all dioceses. You will also develop training resources for others within the church particularly laity, who take on responsibilities in this area.

To be successful, you will need experience of successfully delivering training, ideally within a church environment and of successfully encouraging giving in a paid or voluntary capacity. With leadership and influencing skills, you will be confident communicating to all audiences with a high degree of sensitivity and discretion.

Due to the specialist nature of the roles within the Giving team, training will be provided to successful candidates to enable them to carry out their role confidently.

We are a dispersed team and have a very flexible approach when it comes to working locations. In light of Covid-19, all team members are currently based at home. As a National Team we work throughout the dioceses and predominantly use online platforms to meet and train colleagues and parishes. However the willingness for some travel throughout England and Wales and work occasional weekends may be required from 2021 onwards.

Salary £38,331 p.a.- £41,216 p.a. (London based), £35,730 p.a.- £38,419 p.a. (Outer London).

This is a fixed term contact expected to last for 3 years.

Interviews are expected to be held w/c 10^th August 2020 remotely using Zoom.

In return we offer a unique environment with opportunities for continuous learning, generous annual leave for work life balance, season ticket loans and a range of benefits including discounted entry to attractions and what we feel is a market leading package when it comes to our scheme.

Main Responsibilities

The Role

Research and consultation

Work with key individuals within dioceses and NCIs to research and consult on the most effective ways to develop training for clergy.

This includes:

• Consult with dioceses, theological colleges and colleagues in the Ministry division to explore different ways that training can effectively be delivered to clergy.
• Develop an understanding as to how giving and generosity link with other training priorities including mission, discipleship, financial management and governance.
• Explore the opportunities for clergy to deepen their experience of a generous God, and reflect on the extent to which generosity is integral to their ministry, and how this opportunity can be delivered as part of pastoral care for their health and wellbeing.
• Review existing training provision, and map the extent of training currently provided for giving and generosity.

Train clergy

Create a training strategy for clergy, working with partners within NCIs, the wider church and external agencies, and manage the roll out of training across all dioceses.

This includes:

• Pilot different approaches to clergy training on giving and generosity with early adopter dioceses
• Write a report for the Archbishops' Council Finance Committee, Ministry Council and others on the conclusions reached and recommendations on the approach(es) to be taken for a national roll out.
• Create a project plan for the implementation of training on leading generous churches across all dioceses.
• Engage with dioceses, colleagues in the national team, colleagues in the Ministry division, theological colleges and training providers to create training frameworks and materials for clergy on leading generous churches.
• Implement the project plan, rolling out training across all dioceses.
• Integrate ongoing evaluation and monitoring of impact to help shape the roll out of the training.
