Homeless Link are seeking a Head of Fundraising to develop our fundraising strategy and support us to achieve our goals by securing sustainable funding.

Homeless Link is the national membership charity for frontline homelessness services. We work to improve services through research, guidance and learning, and campaign for policy change that will ensure everyone has a place to call home and the support they need to keep it. Our mission is to develop, inspire, support and sustain a movement of organisations working together to achieve positive futures for people who are homeless or vulnerably housed. The Head of Fundraising will play a crucial role in helping us to achieve that mission and ensure that we have the resources available to make the biggest impact on behalf of our members. 

With budgets and funding opportunities being squeezed in both the public and charitable sectors, the competition for organisations to remain able to develop and positively support vulnerable people experiencing homelessness is getting harder and harder. This is a great opportunity for someone who loves a challenge and is motivated to make a real and lasting difference. 

We need someone who shares our values of having Ambition, Boldness, Curiosity, Diversity and Empowerment to drive forward our fundraising strategy and ensure that as a membership body we are at the forefront of ensuring valuable resources continue to strengthen and develop the sector. 

We are actively seeking to increase diversity within our organisation, and would welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness, from a black or minority ethnic background and/or with a disability.
