About Breathe Arts Health Research

The Breathe Arts Health Research team believe everybody has the equal right to lead a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. For some people, however, there are significant barriers to this: ill health, a stressful job, loneliness, or simply living in a society that is not well adapted to their physical or emotional needs. There is strong evidence that the arts can offer people facing these challenges something very special: the chance to discover their creativity and interact with others, giving them purpose and value.  By drawing on this research and breathing music, magic, dance - and much more - into healthcare spaces and communities, we offer people hope, friendship and fulfilment when they need it most. We do this through a diverse range of evidence-based performing arts programmes, co-created with clinicians and artists in order to deliver life-changing experiences.

We have received wide recognition for our innovative, high quality work, including the Action for Children’s Arts Outstanding Contribution Award, NHS England’s Innovation Challenge Award, PwC’s Social Entrepreneurs Club Award and Nesta’s ‘New Radicals’ accolade.  We have featured on BBC Breakfast, London News, ‘Trust Me I’m a Doctor’ and other media. As we now move on from our start-up phase to become more established and sustainable, our ambition is to grow our arts in health programmes and change more people’s lives for the better.  That’s where this role comes in.

About this role

The Head of Development will develop and deliver an effective income generation strategy, taking the lead on managing and growing our relationships with a wide range of new and existing supporters. That means making the most out of some great existing partnerships as well as developing new opportunities, all of which will contribute to us supporting more people.

Breathe is in a great position when it comes to fundraising. We have a strong network of businesses and individuals that are incredibly passionate about our work.  We have a fantastic story and an enthused, engaged set of patrons and ambassadors willing to support our fundraising.  This is a new, standalone role, however all the Breathe team are very engaged in fundraising so the Head of Development will receive excellent, proactive assistance from them, the Managing Director and a network of talented artists ready to participate in events and initiatives in a creative, engaging way.

About you

You are highly empathic and are motivated by building effective relationships.  You’ll have extensive experience in corporate or community fundraising, business development or account management, with a deep understanding of how to build and manage a wide range of partnerships. Specifically:

• You have an aptitude and love for storytelling, being able to influence and persuade both companies and individuals to support Breathe. You can express yourself compellingly in writing and speech, with superb presentation skills
• You are not intimidated by a big financial target (at least £150,000 of income each year)
• You want to work for an organisation that values kindness, innovation and excellence

How to apply

Breathe Arts Health Research is an equal opportunities employer and we embrace diversity within our team. We positively welcome applications from individuals who identify as Deaf and/or disabled and people of all ethnicities.

To apply, please combine into one document (Word or PDF) your tailored CV - up to 3 pages - and a supporting statement - up to 1,000 words - outlining why you want to work for Breathe, why this role appeals, and how you match the criteria outlined in the person specification in the job description.

Head of Business Development

Salary:  £42,025 plus 8% pension contribution

Home based (within 2 hours travel time of Sheffield)

In the past two years Tom Watson, our Head of Business Development, has taken us from a standing start of virtually zero to income generation of over £250,000 pa.  We now have a clear product to offer to partners and funders, and a foundation of excellent relationships with clients and collaborators. We have an absolute commitment to generating income in ways that directly benefit our members, and it’s a model that is working. The pipeline is starting to flow, and the future is decidedly promising.

But sadly for us, Tom has decided it is time for him to move on – he’s created that platform and now it is time to hand over the baton to someone else to maximise the value of it. And at the same time, we know we need to move up a gear in the way we deliver our income generation work, as our organisation continues to evolve and mature. 

So: we are looking for a new Head of Business Development to start working with us in the new year.

It’s a fantastic opportunity to work with a national body that is small in size but that punches well above its weight.  You’ll be part of a dynamic, agile, fully committed collaborative team, all focused on bringing the best value to our members and making the world a better place for the multitude of small local voluntary sector organisations that are the life blood of local communities. And you’ll take responsibility for the income generation strategy that will ensure our sustainability for years to come.

To be successful in this role you will need:

• An entrepreneurial, outcome focused approach
• Excellent abilities and proven experience in creating and building meaningful relationships with funding bodies, clients, sponsors and delivery partners
• Strong project management and reporting skills
• A highly collaborative, open and engaging mindset
• A firm commitment to using digital tools and human-centred thinking to deliver your best performance
• The ability to ‘squeeze the juice’ out of the resources and opportunities available to you
• An understanding of or sympathy with the work and context of our members in the local, place based voluntary sector

The role will be home based, with regular travel to Sheffield and London, as well as across England.  You should be located within 2 hours travel time of Sheffield.

You’ll manage a full time Programmes Manager, plus freelance support as required for specific projects, and you’ll report direct to the Chief Executive as a member of the senior management team.

As well as a salary of £42,025 pa we offer an 8% employer’s contribution to your pension, 25 days holiday plus bank holidays and a three day shut-down at Christmas, and the flexibility to manage your own diary across the working week.

Open to all

Experience, attitude and potential mean more to us than formal qualifications – we are signatories to Children England’s ‘Open to All’ pledge, and do not specify the need for a degree for any of our current roles. 

We are also committed to ensuring genuinely equal opportunities by asking for ‘blind’ applications – you’ll find the details at in the information pack on our website.  Please read the details very carefully and make sure you follow the instructions in relation to personal information!
