Integrity Action is seeking a seasoned, creative, and tenacious relationship builder, with strong proposal writing and persuasive speaking skills to fill this newly created Senior Management Team position. You will lead on securing approximately £2 million annual income for our pioneering approach that combines a tried and tested citizen-centred methodology with Integrity Action’s proprietary tool and mobile app called DevelopmentCheck.

Integrity Action’s priorities in 2021 and 2022 are:

• Spreading our work by integrating it into development practice and public service delivery.
• Continuing to innovate, so we can help citizens solve the widest possible range of problems, from workers being exploited to understaffed hospitals.
• Researching key pressing questions in transparency and accountability that include how to ensure sustainable accountability outcomes, what motivates officials and other responsible parties to act with integrity, and how problems are being solved.

You will lead on writing the most strategically important proposals, and potentially commission external support to complete other proposals.

When this is done successfully, you will lead the follow up to ensure we receive a grant. Secured grants are managed by the Operations team and their tasks include reporting to funders. Your involvement in this process will be to contribute to the reports to ensure they also work as a fundraising tool.

This means leading on creating a fundraising function including strengthening strategic fundraising and executing annual plans. You will report to the CEO and share progress with the senior management and Board leadership quarterly.

Change Please is an award-winning social enterprise founded to address the growing rise of homelessness throughout the UK.

The average Londoner treats themselves to two cups every single day. Demand is rising – by the end of the decade the number of UK coffee outlets is set to hit 21,000, creating over 100,000 jobs. Despite this, the industry is facing a huge skills shortage, not just in the UK, but around the world.

Are you thinking what we’re thinking?

If the homeless community addressed this shortage - homelessness could become a thing of the past. Change Please is empowering the homeless community by training them to be baristas. We provide full barista training, jobs paying London Living Wage and support with housing, bank accounts and mental wellbeing.

We're a social enterprise staffed by the homeless, to help the homeless, because really good coffee doesn't just taste good - it does good too.

Beyond our social mission, some recent successes:

• Launched with David Lloyd Leisure centres in over 100 locations
• Coffee contracts with three new major contract caterers

• Launching of new retail sites with Halifax and Transport for London
• Launching in Manchester with WeWork and supported by Mayor’s Office in Manchester

CoronaVirus

The need for our work is even more important after the effects of CoronaVirus. We have rebuilt after a difficult period with a renewed energy to achieve our mission.

We are looking for an exceptional individual to join us and help with our fundraising efforts so that we can develop new activity and achieve our mission.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Director of Impact and Fundraising, this is a vital role to support the growth of Change Please.

Much of the role will consist of writing excellent fundraising bids, managing and developing relationships with funders, managing and planning funding strategy, monitoring and reporting. We also have a team of freelance fundraisers who we call upon to support with writing new bids.

We are also diversifying our funding base to include individual, corporate and major giving so are keen to hear from people with experience of this as well.

Unfortunately, more and more families are suffering through their family’s short life and they are suffering alone.

Together for Short Lives cannot save a child’s life but we can save a family from a lifetime of suffering.

We work with families and the brilliant people and services that support them in hospitals, in children’s hospices and in the community – to ensure no family has to suffer through their child’s short life alone and can instead treasure every moment they have together.

We have recently developed a new fundraising strategy, a new fundraising brand and secured investment to develop our public fundraising. This role will play a crucial part in making the strategy a reality. You will work closely with the Director of Fundraising to develop new income generation ideas and new donor acquisition across offline and online channels; whilst putting in place a supporter journey programme and making a case for future resource and investment.

We are reasonably flexible on location, although a willingness to travel to Bristol for occasional meetings is required. What is most crucial is that you have the experience, knowledge and above all the desire to take us to the next level and help ensure all children and families get the support they need.

To discuss this role further or to make arrangements for an informal chat with Nick Carroll our Director of Fundraising, please contact us via our website.

Exciting Job opportunity for an ambitious self-starter: we are looking for a Fundraising and Partnerships Manager.

The National House Project takes a ground-breaking approach through its commitment to enabling young people leaving care to achieve successful independence. The Project was co-designed with young people and works on cooperative principles through which adults and young people leaving care work together to refurbish properties that become their homes. We would like the successful candidate to be passionate about our work, with an ability to engage the young people our work reaches.

The first Local House Project was set-up in 2015 in Stoke-on-Trent with funding from the Dept for Education (DfE). We are a rapidly growing organisation with plans to develop nationally. We have developed an ambitious strategy to grow our fundraising; independently from the DfE, over the next five years. This role will involve the establishment and development of a new fundraising team (1 WTE initially). As our first fundraiser, the successful candidate will need to support the wider team to understand how their day-to-day roles will help with the growth of fundraising income. Working closely with our CEO, you will play a crucial role in our team, managing and implementing the National House Project’s fundraising strategy and overseeing our fundraising activity.

We are looking for a dynamic and creative, target driven individual who will work with our team to identify, develop and ‘package’ tangible projects to fundraise against, to drive the development of our fundraising. The post holder will bring their experience, skills and enthusiasm and develop exciting new opportunities. Naturally entrepreneurial, you will be a self-starter and strong communicator, with the ability to build effective and long-term relationships both internally and externally. You will have proven experience of inspiring and motivating donors and fundraising partners, enabling them to maximise all fundraising activities and deliver great results.

The post covers a wide remit of fundraising activities including Major Giving, Corporate Supporters and grant giving Trust and Foundations. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with proven experience in securing four to six figure sums from major donor and/or corporate sources.  An understanding and appreciation of the importance of donor cultivation and stewardship is key.

The fundraising team will be supported by our administrative staff, and external fundraising and marketing & communications consultants initially, whilst we seek to embed our newly developed fundraising strategy. As the team grows, this new role offers exciting progression routes involving both line management and hands-on delivery across Major Giving, Corporate supporters and grant giving Trusts & Foundations. 

You will be based at the NHP office in Crewe a minimum of 2 days per week. While your remaining time will be flexible, you will be expected to travel to Local House Projects and attend meetings with donors and partners across the country on a regular basis.

Application is by CV and covering letter. There is no application form. In your letter, please tell us how you meet the person specification which can be found in the attached application pack.

The interview process will take place in two stages, with first stage interviews taking place via zoom on 14th December 2020. Face to face second stage interviews will then take place on 18th December 2020 at our Head Office in Crewe (if government covid-19 guidelines allow). Please make sure you are available on both dates.
