Sailors’ Society has been providing practical and emotional help to mariners for over 200 years; we have much to be proud of in our past, but our focus is very much on the present and the future. Our work over many years has been to build strong, trusted and fruitful relationships across the maritime sector to benefit seafarers and their families, around the world, ‘at home, at sea and in port’, following an ethos based on traditional Christian, non-discriminatory, values. As a leading maritime welfare charity, frequently pioneering in its approach, the Society has long recognised the importance of partnerships both with funding and delivery.

We have ambitious plans; our vision is to be able to reach more families and individuals connected to shipping and maritime services. To realise our income plans, we are now looking for an experienced and enthusiastic Director of Development to work with the CEO and Senior Leadership Team to grow this important charity.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team you will play a critical role in the development and delivery of Sailors’ Society’s strategic aims and objectives and in the leadership delivery of our income generating strategy and activities. This will include the recruitment and retention of financial supporters from major donors to individual members and fundraising and commercial activities. In this role you will lead a small team to achieve income from a wide range of donors including companies, trusts and individuals. A Director level operator you will bring your managerial and fundraising skills to work collaboratively with a charity-wide team to achieve shared goals.  The preferred candidate will have:

• A proven ability to lead a multi-disciplinary fundraising team covering individual giving, corporates & trusts, national and international events
• Considerable experience and track record of fundraising from companies and from industry sector groups
• Experience of developing stewardship strategies to engage and inform donors
• Highly developed competence in working cross-functionally to ensure all Sailor’s Society audiences receive the best service and impression at every touchpoint
• Leadership of development team, providing strategic direction, management and development of all staff
• Experience of managing and developing a CRM database to aid in the fundraising process.

You are likely to have developed your portfolio of fundraising skills over time in a national or international charity and can demonstrate considerable success in more than one of the following areas: Trusts and Foundations, Corporate Partnerships, Major Donor fundraising and Individual Giving. You will offer several years of line-management experience in more than one area of fundraising, with a track record of developing and strengthening individuals and teams. Experience in, or exposure to the maritime industry is desirable, but not essential.

If your passion and ethos align with the Sailors’ Society and you have the skills and experience required for this critical new role, we would love to hear from you.

We are working with the Philanthropy Company to develop our fundraising strategy and capacity and recruitment for this role is via Public Leaders Appointments in collaboration with the Philanthropy Company.

For full details on the role, please see the attached job description and person specification

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team for 12 months, with the potential for extension subject to funding. We offer a genuinely rewarding and positive work environment, and ongoing opportunities for training and development.

Having been home-based, we are gradually moving back to working from our Marylebone office. However this role can be flexible, with at least 1 day homeworking possible after the probation period.

We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. Home-Start Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, and Hammersmith & Fulham is committed to Equality of Opportunity and Diversity, and to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults. 

As director you will lead a well-organised charity. You will need to fulfil the range of roles and tasks needed in a small organisation, whilst working to shape its future with the support of a stable, approachable, experienced and involved board of trustees.

We are looking for an individual who can deliver both management and strategy, and is eager to learn new skills. As the most public face of SAGE you will have responsibility for raising the profile of the organisation, but also generating income and managing operations.

The work will be demanding but varied and interesting. The successful candidate will develop an understanding of the service delivery, including occasionally helping practically with the groups if necessary. There will be regular contact with the public, referral agencies, beneficiaries, trustees and other organisations.

The scope of the post is recognised to be wide. Trustees adopt realistic goals in collaboration with the director in recognition of the nature and hours of the post. The role should be attractive to capable candidates at any stage of their career path. 

For 20 years SAGE has used allotments in North Sheffield, and a separate singing group, to support adults with a range of psychological, social and physical needs. Our aim is to build resilience, reduce isolation and give the enjoyment of more fulfilled lives. Referral pathways to the allotment service are varied. We offer individually tailored activities adjusted over time.  Over the course of 20 weekly 3 hour sessions mutually agreed plans are made for follow-on activities to be taken up at discharge. We do not deliver gardening but rather year round supported care to groups no larger than 10, enabled  by 2 workers and 2 volunteers  using gardening as the focus.  Despite Covid we have delivered face to face through the majority of 2020/21, otherwise continuing phone support and reassurance.

In common with most charities we face financial pressure and have been further challenged by Covid.  Funding for the Director post is secured until at least the end of May 2022. Over the last 12 months we have received approximately £45,000 in grants and donations.

We focus on priority areas and communities, using a diverse range of approaches and interventions using a community development and social movement approach. We have a primary focus of

Manchester and Salford; followed by Oldham; Heywood, Middleton, Rochdale (HMR); and Bolton.

Within those geographical areas we aim to reach people and communities that traditional screening engagement struggles to connect with.

The post-holder will be a member of the Community Engagement team within the Answer Cancer programme. This post will be line managed by the Programme Manager and based at Salford CVS.

On a day-to-day basis the post-holder will be tasked by and report back to the programme’s Community Engagement and Development Manager (this person is employed by BHA for Equality).

The post-holder will lead on engagement with prioritised communities / groups across Greater Manchester, including people from BME communities, LGBT people, people with mental health conditions, disabled people, carers and people living in areas of high deprivation.

The role will involve developing and delivering community engagement initiatives and health promotion interventions with individuals, voluntary / community organisations, faith groups, other health providers / services and the business sector.

The aim of the role is to encourage people from prioritised groups / communities to attend national cancer screening programmes (breast, bowel and cervical) thereby increasing uptake and early diagnosis of cancer.
