Read Easy is a small, but rapidly growing charity that delivers life-changing opportunities to adults who struggle with their reading. We are, in fact, the only national organisation attempting to offer a proven, confidential, free, one-to-onereading coaching programme for the thousands of adults in our communities who can’t read at all or who struggle to read.

We are looking for someone who shares our passion and has the initiative, skills and experience to really drive our fundraising so that we can extend our reach to all parts of the country. The role will also include some responsibility for communications and PR.

Over the last few years, our work has received a considerable amount of national and local TV, radio and other media coverage and our fundraising to date has demonstrated that there is growing interest amongst funders to support what we do. Candidates for this post will need to have the motivation, initiative and persuasive abilities to further develop that interest, so that we can realise our ambitious plans for growth. 

There are exciting times ahead for Read Easy and we are looking forward to welcoming a new member to our small Head Office team.The culture is friendly, focused, mature and hard working. This role is for 3 - 4 days per week (exact hours to be agreed on appointment) and could be partly home-based, but would require at least one day per month to be worked in our office in north Gloucestershire.

Here at Charity Horizons we are delighted to be supporting Family Fund in their search for a Head of Fundraising to join the team at this busy and exciting time. Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants for families on low incomes raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people. Last year the charity provided over 89,000 grants or services worth over £33 million to families across the UK, and with 93% of families telling the charity that the pandemic has had a negative impact on their child’s health and wellbeing, Family Fund are now committed to supporting families to recover from this uniquely difficult period. 

As Head of Fundraising you will take the lead in successfully delivering Family Fund’s fundraising strategy, managing all aspects of income generation and supporting the wider team. The charity has recently secured an exciting 6 figure corporate partnership so this vacancy will also provide an opportunity to play a leading role in managing this. You will also be responsible for governance, budgeting and managing processes related to fundraising, ensuring best use of available resources in order to maximise income.  With a recently written 5 year strategy, this role provides a hugely exciting opportunity to implement growth in what promises to be a transformational year. 

To be considered for this role you should be a skilled fundraiser with significant experience leading and managing teams. Experience across a variety of income streams is essential, and any specific experience in individual given desirable. You should be a resourceful and creative leader with strong communication skills and an ability to develop relationships with funders and create compelling proposals for support. A large part of this role will involve internal stakeholder management so you should be comfortable working cross departmentally and be able to influence others and engage them easily to encourage their support.

This is a contract position to cover a maternity period of 9 months. As a result of the impacts of Covid-19 this role will be home-based for the foreseeable future meaning we are able to consider people outside of the office’s locality in York.

We will be recruiting for this role on an ongoing basis, and when we have a sufficient number of suitable applicants the role will close. This is an incredibly exciting job role that provides a wonderful opportunity to make a real difference to families across the UK – apply now, to avoid disappointment!
