ABOUT US

Women at the Well is a support service for women based in the King’s Cross area of central London. We provide practical support and advocacy to women facing a wide range of disadvantages, and we have a specialism in working with women whose lives have been affected by prostitution and/or sexual exploitation. We are trauma informed, holistic and woman-centred. We deliver our mission through three interconnected services:

1. A women only drop-in service

2. An advocacy service

3. An outreach service

We take referrals from many external partners and while we have a hub-centre in Kings Cross we are a pan-London service. Read more about our work in our impact report.

Women at the Well has supported thousands of women over more than twenty years work in London. We see the complex ways in which women’s inequality, racism, disability and poor health, educational disadvantage, trauma in childhood, migration and the hostile immigration environment can all lead to significant social and economic disadvantages and harm. In our work we meet women who have experienced repeated and extensive abuse, and who are often homeless, living with addictions and/or mental health issues, and in poverty. We see how these women are at high risk of a range of sexually exploitative behaviours including prostitution. As well as providing tailored support, we aim to speak up for the rights of women to live lives free from abuse.

JOB PURPOSE:

The Head of Fundraising & Partnerships will lead the development and delivery of Women at The Well’s fundraising strategy, ensuring we build the sustainable and diverse income base needed to continue supporting women facing extraordinary disadvantage, exploitation and harm. As a senior, hands-on fundraiser, the postholder will take responsibility for income generation across trusts and foundations, individual philanthropy, corporate partnerships and community fundraising, while building the systems, relationships and communications that underpin long-term growth.

Working closely with the CEO—an experienced trusts fundraiser—the postholder will identify opportunities, cultivate relationships, steward supporters, craft compelling cases for support, and drive forward multi-stream fundraising with clarity and purpose. They will coordinate the CEO’s involvement in major fundraising opportunities and act as a strategic partner, ensuring the organisation’s leadership has what they need to secure transformational funding.

This role sits at the heart of a small, values-driven team committed to trauma-informed, women-centred work. The postholder must bring emotional resilience, sound judgement and a deep respect for the dignity and lived experiences of the women who use our service. Regular presence in our King’s Cross centre is important for relationship-building and grounding fundraising work in the mission, though we offer flexibility in working patterns for the right candidate.

We’re creating an exciting new fundraising role at QCCA for an experienced, motivated fundraiser who wants to make a visible, immediate impact in the community.

This is a flexible, newly created position that could suit either a Generalist Fundraiser or a Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser, depending on your strengths and interests.

As a Generalist Fundraiser, you’ll help strengthen and diversify our income across trusts and foundations, individual giving, community fundraising, events, and supporter stewardship. Experience in small to medium-sized charities is particularly valuable, as you’ll play a hands-on role in shaping and growing our fundraising approach.

Alternatively, as a Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser, you’ll have the opportunity to build and grow a corporate programme from strong early foundations. This includes developing long-term partnerships, converting corporate interest into meaningful support, and working with businesses keen to deliver social value through volunteering and collaboration.

We’re especially keen to hear from people who enjoy building relationships, spotting new opportunities, and growing income in a thoughtful, values-led way.

We warmly welcome applications from people returning from a career break, those seeking part-time work, fundraisers moving from larger organisations who want to see direct community impact, or anyone ambitious and excited by developing new fundraising areas.

Our Mission Rabies project runs mass canine vaccination and community education in the world’s worst hotspots for the disease.
