About Norwood

Norwood is the largest Jewish charity in the UK supporting vulnerable children and their families, children with special educational needs and people with learning disabilities and autism. We were founded in 1795.

The projects you’ll most likely be fundraising for are:

Adult residential care for people with learning disabilities – we have 17 homes around London, as well as a residential village, Ravenswood in Berkshire, where we have another 19. Because the basics are funded by the local authority, we mostly fundraise for capital development for these, ranging from a new, accessible bathroom, to a whole new building.

Children and family services for children with learning disabilities: support groups for parents of children with special needs, speech therapy, occupational therapy, educational psychology, specialist teaching. Short-breaks, including overnight, Sunday clubs and holiday camps for children with learning challenges and disabilities. Social work, and family support teams.

What you will do as the Trust Fundraising Officer at Norwood

Trusts research – working alongside the Prospect Research Volunteer to identify opportunities. We have been around a long time, so a lot of this is working through the trusts on our database, as well as regular projects for example to look at the funders of similar charities, work through an online trusts database, and keep up to date with email alerts.

Trust applications – you will gather project information, curate it, and write it up into informative, engaging, beautiful applications, giving trusts the opportunity to fund our work. Your work will focus on bids of up to £5,000.

Trust relationships – you will build relationships through face-to-face meetings, service visits, calls, emails, letters, thanking etc. We’re a much-loved community organisation, and you’ll be the face of it for the trusts that you manage.

Reporting – you’ll gather the information, photos and stories to compile reports that give funders real insight into what they’ve achieved.

Organisational knowledge – develop and maintain your knowledge of Norwood services and build relationships with service managers, the ‘boots on the ground’, who you’ll need to give you up-to-date information.

Support the rest of the team – to gain experience, you’ll support other members of the team in their work, whether that’s gathering information for an application, proof-reading a report, or helping with a service visit. In particular, you’ll support on bids over £5,000 to prepare you for either promotion or your next role.

Building and maintaining team processes – we all help with this, whether it’s improving our Raiser’s Edge dashboard, taking minutes at the team meeting, or creating a new template to help project staff with case study gathering. This project work adds variety, and we’re always open to new ideas.

The skills and experience you’ll need, might be useful, and what you don’t need

Essential

Strong writing skills

Strong research skills

Proficiency in using Word, Excel, Outlook and video calling, e.g. scheduling a meeting, holding a Zoom/Teams meeting

BAFTA is looking for a talented Fundraising Manager to join its busy fundraising and partnerships team.

Please note – interviews will take place the week commencing 20 June in London

Job purpose

BAFTA is a world-leading independent arts charity and the only organisation supporting film, games and television at a global level.

This is a very exciting time to join BAFTA. 2022 is the charity’s 75th year and we have just completed a very successful capital campaign to finance the redevelopment of our home at 195 Piccadilly. BAFTA is also expanding globally with the recent formation of BAFTA North America, bringing together the existing BAFTA offices in Los Angeles and New York.

Our capital campaign has had the generous support of individual donors, trusts and foundations and corporate supporters – both from the screen industries and wider organisations. The redeveloped 195 Piccadilly has given BAFTA the increased space and technology to significantly expand its year-round learning and talent development programme, and we now need to raise the annual funding to deliver this expanded work. All our programmes and initiatives tackle the barriers that can make it hard for talented individuals to build careers in the screen industries and we work with children as young as seven right up to established talent – see here for how we support talent and here to learn about the impact of our work.

We raise revenue to fund BAFTA’s work from a combination of individual giving, events, trusts and foundations and corporate supporters. The fundraising manager is a permanent position and plays a vital role within a proactive and motivated fundraising and partnerships team with ambitious fundraising targets.

The overall remit of this role is threefold: to lead on the strategy, development and delivery of an expanded patron events programme for existing and new supporters that enables donors to engage more fully with BAFTA’s work; to recruit and retain new donors to meet agreed income targets; and to work closely with the wider team to find and develop a pipeline of new prospective supporters.

It is an exciting opportunity for a strategic, creative thinker who is passionate about building and sustaining authentic and rewarding donor relationships, with ample scope to come up with new ideas of how to engage supporters with BAFTA’s work and to demonstrate its impact to potential funders.

Ideally you will have:

Essential

• Demonstrable experience of running a Patrons programme or similar supporter group with lead responsibility for pitching and securing support from individual donors to agreed targets
• Experience of devising, organising and delivering intimate and larger-scale cultivation and fundraising events
• Demonstrable experience of securing donations from individuals, preferably in the arts
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Excellent interpersonal skills and confidence in communicating with all levels of internal and external stakeholders
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to handle multiple projects in a fast-paced environment
• A thorough understanding of budgets, cashflow and gift aid
• Experience of working with CRM databases, with Salesforce experience an advantage
• IT skills, with full knowledge of Microsoft Office

Desirable

• An enthusiasm for film, games and television
• Experience of working with corporate supporters and managing corporate relationships
• Strengths in compiling and analysing data to develop new audiences and inform strategy

Ideally you will be:

• Proactive, energetic and self-motivated
• An enthusiastic, collaborative team member
• A confident, clear communicator with a passion for building relationships
• A strategic thinker with strong research and analytical skills
