Shape the future of Fréa – a unique partnership of three Irish charities working together to create greater impact.
We’re looking for an ambitious, creative fundraiser to build on a strong foundation and develop Fréa’s next generation of income and partnerships.
Fréa brings together three established Irish charities with a shared commitment to supporting Irish communities across the North of England. We believe that, by working together, we can achieve more than any of us can alone.
We are now looking for an exceptional Head of Fundraising and Development to help us realise that ambition.
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced fundraiser who enjoys building relationships, spotting opportunities and turning ideas into sustainable income. You will have the freedom to shape Fréa’s fundraising approach, develop new partnerships and funding streams, and help establish the partnership as an increasingly influential and sustainable organisation.
You will build on a strong platform already created by Fréa’s existing fundraising work, while bringing fresh thinking and new energy to its next stage of development. You will work closely with senior colleagues and Boards across the three partner charities, developing compelling propositions and identifying opportunities where Fréa can achieve more by working collectively.
Importantly, this is collaborative fundraising, not competitive fundraising. Fréa’s role is to complement and add value to the excellent fundraising already undertaken by its three partners. You will need the judgement to recognise when an opportunity is best pursued by Fréa, by an individual partner, or jointly – always respecting existing relationships with funders, donors and corporate partners.
We are looking for someone who combines fundraising expertise with relationship-building, creativity and excellent partnership skills. You will be comfortable working strategically while also getting stuck into the practical business of developing networks and events, cultivating relationships and securing income.
This is a rare opportunity to help shape the fundraising direction of an emerging partnership with an established history, a strong network and significant potential for growth.
If you are excited by the idea of building something collaboratively, creating new opportunities and helping three organisations achieve greater impact together, we would love to hear from you.
If you would like an informal chat about the role please contact any of the Fréa Trustees: Ant Hanlon Chief Executive at Leeds Irish Health and Homes, Breege McDaid, Director at Irish Community Care or Patrick Morrison, Chief Executive at Irish Community Care Manchester.
To promote the welfare and inclusion of Irish communities throughout Britain, in particular, those residing in the North of England.

Online harm is not inevitable. This is our urgent and hopeful mission.
We are Molly Rose Foundation, founded following the death of 14-year-old Molly Russell. We work at the intersect of suicide prevention, online safety, and tech accountability to demand a safer online world and move beyond the preventable harm. We believe a better online world is possible, one where young people are protected, championed and equipped with the skills, confidence and critical algorithmic literacy they need to navigate digital spaces and thrive.
Working closely with the Head of Partnerships and Fundraising, we’re looking for a Corporate Partnerships Manager to join our small team at a critical growth point. We’re looking for someone to build and deliver on our Corporate Partnerships Strategy and lay the groundwork for long term, sustainable corporate income generation as part of our wider Fundraising Strategy.
This is a new role for someone with substantial experience working in corporate partnerships. We’re looking for someone with strong account management and new business skills who can take our fledgling portfolio of corporate supporters and transform it into formal, long-term partnerships generating at least c.£400K by the end of the first 3 years.
You will have a demonstrable track record of securing and account managing five-six figure partnerships. You will have the ability to create propositions in collaboration with programmatic colleagues, and the confidence to pitch a compelling case for support to a range of senior corporate audiences. You will also have excellent communication skills both (written and verbal) and a keen eye for connecting a company’s objectives to the right opportunity at MRF. You will also have the commercial awareness to build partnerships that create genuine, shared value.
This is a partnerships role as much as a fundraising one. Alongside income, you will develop a suite of impactful corporate engagement opportunities and maximise the pro bono, skills and influence that the right partners can bring to our mission.
We're particularly interested in hearing from applicants with experience working in one or more of the following areas: online safety, tech accountability, suicide prevention or children’s mental health.
You will join a small, ambitious organisation with big plans and a strong values-led culture. If you're motivated by improving online safety, suicide prevention and helping young people to live long and stay strong, we'd love to hear from you.
We offer a comprehensive package that includes:
• 27 days annual leave plus 1 volunteering day, rising to 30 days holiday after three years’ service.
• Annual leave buyback scheme, with the option to purchase up to 5 additional days.
• Employee pension scheme.
• £500 employee wellbeing budget.
We welcome applications from diverse range of applicants and actively welcome flexible working requests. Any requests would be on the understanding that this is a full-time position.
Application Process
To apply, please send a CV (max. 2 sides A4) and cover letter (max. 2 sides A4) via the Charity Jobs website. In your covering letter we'd like to understand how you meet the person specification for this role. Your application will be scored against these criteria.

About Worldwide Radiology
Worldwide Radiology is a UK registered charity working to improve access to high-quality diagnostic imaging in low- and middle-income countries.
Working alongside hospitals, universities and health partners around the world, we develop practical, sustainable solutions that strengthen radiology services and improve patient care. Much of our work is delivered through a global network of volunteers and long-term partnerships.
We're at an exciting stage in our development. Over recent years our fundraising income has grown significantly, but we're now looking to broaden and strengthen our funding base so we can increase our impact.
This new role offers the opportunity to become Worldwide Radiology's dedicated fundraising lead, helping shape the next stage of the organisation's growth.
About the Role
This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious fundraiser ready to take the next step in their career and take ownership of fundraising within a growing charity.
As Worldwide Radiology's dedicated fundraising professional, you will lead our day-to-day fundraising activity across community fundraising, individual giving and trusts and foundations. You'll be responsible for planning and delivering fundraising campaigns, stewarding donors and writing funding applications that help sustain and grow our work.
You'll also support the CEO and Programmes Lead in developing larger strategic partnerships with major funders and corporate partners through research, proposal coordination and pipeline management.
Unlike many early-career fundraising roles, this position offers genuine ownership from early on. You'll lead fundraising across your portfolio while working closely with colleagues who have experience securing grants and developing partnerships, giving you the support and mentoring to develop your skills and confidence.
While we expect to appoint a Fundraising Manager on a part-time basis, we also recognise that an experienced fundraising consultant may bring a different but equally valuable skillset. We're therefore open to considering either model, provided the successful candidate can take ownership of our fundraising programme and help build the systems, relationships and pipeline needed to support Worldwide Radiology's long-term growth.
What Success Looks Like
During your first 12–18 months you will:
- Lead successful delivery of WWR's community fundraising programme, including the Big Give Christmas Challenge and other supporter campaigns.
- Develop and manage a healthy pipeline of trust and foundation applications.
- Build strong relationships with our existing donors and funders.
- Help diversify the organisation's income by developing new fundraising opportunities.

- Leading delivery of fundraising across community fundraising, individual giving and smaller trusts and foundations.
- Researching, writing and submitting grant applications to trusts and foundations.
- Managing relationships with existing trust funders and individual donors, including stewardship and reporting.
- Planning and delivering community fundraising campaigns, supporter events and online fundraising activities, including the Big Give Christmas Challenge and JustGiving campaigns.
- Developing opportunities to grow our supporter base and increase donor retention.
- Maintaining accurate fundraising records, donor data and reporting.
- Monitoring fundraising activity and providing regular updates to the CEO.
- Supporting the development of fundraising plans and identifying new income opportunities.
Partnerships (Support)
Working alongside the CEO and Programmes Lead, you will:
- Research prospective major trusts, foundations and corporate partners.
- Prepare briefing papers and background research ahead of meetings.
- Coordinate development of larger funding proposals by gathering information, managing timelines and tracking actions.
- Maintain the strategic funding pipeline and prospect tracker.
- Support follow-up from meetings, conferences and partnership discussions.
- Help identify opportunities to strengthen relationships with healthcare organisations, companies and strategic partners.
Person Specification
We recognise that no candidate will meet every criterion. If you can demonstrate most of the following, we'd love to hear from you:
- Experience in a fundraising, development or partnerships role within the charity sector.
- Experience researching and writing, or supporting the development of, funding applications to trusts and foundations.
- Excellent written communication skills with the ability to write compelling funding applications and supporter communications.
- Excellent relationship-building skills, with experience working positively with supporters, volunteers, partners or external stakeholders.
- Strong organisational skills, with the ability to maintain accurate records and manage information across multiple projects and deadlines.
- Comfortable working in a digital, remote environment and confident learning new systems, including fundraising CRM platforms.
- Enthusiasm for Worldwide Radiology's mission and the role of global health partnerships.
Desirable attributes:
- Experience delivering community fundraising campaigns or challenge events.

At the same time, you'll benefit from the guidance and support of experienced colleagues, giving you the opportunity to develop your skills while making a tangible contribution to improving access to diagnostic imaging around the world.
We're committed to supporting your professional development through mentoring, networking opportunities and relevant fundraising training, helping you build the skills and experience to progress your fundraising career.
We offer:
- Flexible remote working.
- A collaborative, supportive team with minimal hierarchy.
- Opportunities for professional development and responsibility.
- Up to 4% matched pension contribution.
- 25 days Annual leave plus 8 public holidays (pro rata).
Please submit your CV and a cover letter (no longer than 2 pages) explaining how you meet the criteria for the role by 11pm on Sunday 13th September 2026. Interviews will take place W/C 21st September, in the office for local applicants otherwise it will be a remote interview.
Worldwide Radiology is an equal opportunity employer. We know that people from underrepresented backgrounds sometimes hesitate to apply unless they meet every requirement.

The generosity of individual supporters, churches and community groups enables Boaz Trust to provide accommodation and support for people seeking sanctuary, and to challenge and change the unjust systems that cause destitution, both locally and nationally. We are looking for a Fundraising Officer who will help us give supporters an excellent experience, maintain accurate fundraising records and develop opportunities for people and communities to get involved in our work. This is an exciting role which will give the right person the opportunity to work across a variety of fundraising activities and disciplines.
The relationships built and fundraising activity enabled through this role will support Boaz’s work with people who are facing or experiencing homelessness because of their insecure, changing or uncertain immigration status. Our work includes providing safe accommodation and person-centred support, while working towards our mission of ending destitution among people seeking sanctuary.
Day to day, you will provide excellent care for supporters as you process and acknowledge donations, respond to supporter enquiries and ensure that our fundraising database is functioning well and information is recorded accurately in it. You will build positive relationships with supporters, churches and community groups, arrange and deliver speaking engagements, promote sponsored events and help people find meaningful ways to raise funds for Boaz. You will work also closely with colleagues to deliver fundraising projects across the breadth of Boaz’s fundraising activity as and when these arise.
We are looking for someone who is warm, organised and attentive to detail, and who enjoys building relationships with a wide range of people. You will be confident communicating by email, telephone and in person, comfortable working with databases and financial information, and able to manage a varied workload. Most importantly, you will be thoughtful and collaborative, and aligned with Boaz’s values and our commitment to the dignity and rights of people seeking sanctuary.
Our vision is that people who seek safety in the UK are welcomed here and are free to live life in all its fullness.
