Are you a fundraising guru with knowledge of charity governance and development?  If so, the Barnet third sector needs your support!

As you will be well aware, Covid-19 has brought unprecendented challenges to the charity sector.  Just when need is greatest, resources are hard to come by and many charities face real threats to their sustainability.  To answer this need, we require someone able to advise on all aspects of fundraising to ensure our vital local organisations keep delivering.  If that's you, you'll be aware of the London funding landscape, able to quickly identify opportunities and point organisations in the right direction.  You'll also be happy to roll your sleeves and review and re-write bids as required, and you'll relish the challenge of helping to develop and shape partnerships to keep maximise the impact of our fantastic sector.

Ideally, you will also have a good knowledge of third sector governance and the issues small organisations face, and be able to advise confidently on a range of queries.

In return, you will get the opportunity to work in a unique organisation - one that delivers both for disabled people and across community services in Barnet.  You'll also find yourself part of a friendly and supportive team, both within Inclusion Barnet and across the Barnet Together partnership.  .

Working 28 hours a week, you will have a certain amount of flexibility as to how you arrange your hours: we don't mind if you want to work four long days or five short ones.  You can work from anywhere in the UK, but an ability to visit our headquarters in Barnet after lockdown would be advantageous. 

This is a fixed term contract until the 20th January 2021 in the first instance, extendable subject to future funding.  The post is funded through the generous support of the National Lottery Community Fund. 

Disabled candidates who demonstrate how they meet all the essential criteria in their application letter willl be guarenteed an interview.  We also particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates, who are currently underrepresented in our organisation. 

Executive Director of Fundraising and Creative
c. £100,000

Comic Relief is one of the UK’s best loved and most widely recognised charities. We work to drive positive change through the power of entertainment, and our flagship events include Comic Relief, Sport Relief and Red Nose Day. Millions of generous participants and donors have raised an astonishing total of over £1bn in the past 35 years, all of which has gone to improving lives in the UK and across the globe.

A lot has changed since 1985, and we’ve invested considerable time and thought into recasting our focus and philosophy to address emerging challenges and opportunities. We are committed to being impact-led; to channelling creativity; and to working smart. If you’re looking for a genuinely creative way to make a concrete difference to the world, this influential and visible leadership role could be the most important move you make.

Our fundraising strategy is uniquely Comic Relief: we create entertainment, stories and brilliant partnerships which inspire people to care about (and thus to support) the causes and charities that we fund. Sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, and always serious, we engage millions of people of all ages. The Fundraising and Creative workgroup is the largest directorate in the organisation, and comprises three teams – Public Fundraising, Corporate Partnerships and Creative – collaborating closely together. It’s a multi-faceted and cross-channel group, with a strong focus on embedding and championing digital throughout all our content and working practices. And it’s an incredibly exciting place to be.

You’ll be accountable for generating our income, ensuring that we continue to be a popular, progressive and dynamic brand which is entertaining, engaging and highly effective. Significant experience in public fundraising through creative leadership is essential, and your record of sustained, tangible increases in income will set you apart. The ability to work through relationships is key, and you must have the judgement, communication and influencing skills to play a visible and highly scrutinised role in a major charitable organisation. And as if that didn’t narrow the field enough, we’re also uncompromising about wanting to see comprehensive experience of embedding digital strategy and practice within an organisation, plus exceptional prowess as a strategic marketer, communicator and producer.

About us
Crisis is the national charity for homeless people. We know that homelessness is not inevitable. We know that together we can end it.

Since the coronavirus outbreak began, our society has pulled together to achieve extraordinary things. Thousands of people sleeping rough have been temporarily housed in a matter of weeks, and many more were prevented from becoming homeless due to emergency changes to legislation.

As we begin to emerge from lockdown, we now stand at a crossroads: we can build on the incredible progress that has been made by helping everyone move into a secure and permanent home; or we risk seeing thousands of people being forced into homelessness.
We are recruiting for a Fundraising Development Officer to join our expanding Partnerships and Philanthropy team, to work alongside our inspirational supporters and beneficiaries to bring an end to homelessness in Great Britain.

Whilst you won’t be primarily supporter facing you will be absolutely central to fundraising success, using and growing your in-depth knowledge of corporate partner and philanthropy audiences, putting you in a brilliant position to later move into either a frontline fundraising role or a range of other internal teams. But we hope you won’t want to leave!

About you

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including experience writing for high net worth and/or business audiences.

• Experience of building productive working relationships with a range of stakeholders in a medium to large scale organisation
• Good numeracy skills and an understanding of finance processes.
• Experience supporting a busy team on multiple projects and managing competing deadlines.
• Strong organisation skills, attention to detail and a methodical approach to tasks.
• Able to work on own initiative, but also as part of a closely coordinated team.
• Share Crisis’s values and be passionate about ending homelessness

Benefits
As a member of the team you will have access to a wide range of employee benefits including:

• Interest free loans to purchase a train season ticket or a bike or for a deposit to secure a tenancy
• Mandatory pension scheme, with an employer contribution of 8.5%
• 25 days’ annual leave which increases with service to 28 days
