Benefits: 25 days’ annual leave entitlement plus Bank Holidays, pension scheme contributions.

Interview: w/c 9th November 2020

Background

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Fundraiser, with a proven track record, wanting to help enrich young lives by raising vital funds for St Andrew’s Club in Westminster, the world’s oldest youth club.

Established more than 150 years ago, St Andrew’s Club is a registered charity.  Each year we provide a sense of belonging, fun and informal education to around 700 members, many of whom live locally in Westminster, and come from homes on very tight budgets. The Club is in action seven days a week: we have Senior Club programmes Monday – Friday evenings; we run Junior Club on Monday and Wednesday evenings; we rent out to a Karate Club on Friday and to a performing arts school on Saturday and we field football teams on Saturdays and Sundays. In addition, we run programmes during school holidays through the day and into the evenings.

The Club is a vital resource for the local community, providing value for money opportunities in a safe, attractive environment.  Members develop educationally, socially and personally through an exciting and wide range of sport, art, excursions and practical skills.

Purpose of Position
Over the last few years, the Club has developed a diversified portfolio of fundraising programmes to help us in our ambitions to raise vital funds for growth and sustainability of our important youth provision, with a strong focus on support from Trusts and Foundations, for both project and core funding.  

Following a recent restructure at St Andrew’s Club, the former post holder has been promoted to Chief Executive.  The Club is now seeking a new, self-motivated, talented and ambitious professional Head of Fundraising to build on the success of the last few years, shape the funding future of this unique organisation and make your own mark. There may be capacity for the right candidate to grow in responsibility in relation to a potential capital appeal.  Plans and preparations are underway for a capital appeal to realise the Club’s ambitious development plans and the Head of Fundraising will play their part in moving this forward.

As the principle fundraising resource, you will be adept at working under your own initiative. However, your role will see you work closely with the Chief Executive, the Youth Club Manager and a Fundraising Group of committed Trustees.

This is a diverse role that reflects where we are at as an organisation - a new leadership team, with energy and ambition to grow the membership of, and the funding for, the world’s oldest youth club.

You will come with a strong track record of cultivating relationships with a wide range of supporters and will take ownership of the Club’s fundraising strategy of delivering a costed annual mixed fundraising plan to provide a pipeline of core and project income that will grow the existing programme and meet the annual income target.

Effective stewardship and retention of existing Trusts and Foundations support will be key to your early success, as will timely reporting and acquisition of new support from this source.

In addition, you will lead on broadening the Club's local recognition and support to develop income from local corporates and neighbours; manage the Regular Giving Supporter Programme and plan and deliver the Club’s 3-4 annual fundraising events, mostly virtual in the short term. You will also line manage the Fundraising & Communications Officer to ensure optimal messaging and content across our various platforms and media.

You will be joining an organisation committed to delivering outstanding provision for its members, and a staff team committed to enriching young lives. Our commitment to training and support will help optimise your own development.

Your passion and commitment to the cause will be critical to your success in the role, as will your ability to articulate with great confidence, the huge impact that St Andrew’s Club has on those that it serves.

Job Description

The Head of Fundraising will be expected to:

• Produce professional proposals with a compelling case for support, that marry the Club's needs with the potential supporters' skills and resources, and build on national, regional, local and internal evidence and good practice;
• Lead on development of a mixed fundraising plan to provide a pipeline of core and project income that will grow the existing programme and ensure the charity’s financial resilience;

• Prepare timely follow-up reports, working with colleagues to demonstrate evidence of impact, outcomes reached, measure value for money and evaluate success and learning from funded activities;

• Manage the Regular Giving supporter programme through stewardship of current supporters and developing recruitment plans to grow the supporter base;
• Plan and deliver the Club’s 3-4 annual fundraising and supporter events, developing engaging innovative virtual experiences;

London

£48,000 - £52,000

WHATEVER IT TAKES will break the destructive cycle of children and young people committing crimes so that, instead, they make a positive contribution to our society and build better lives for themselves.

WIT is a new programme in the pilot phase of its delivery and growing quickly. We are looking for an experienced and creative Head of Programme Development to join our leadership team bringing their knowledge, skills and passion to ensure the WIT programme has the impact our participants deserve. 

Join us in building a programme which supports children and young people to untangle their lives and change their future.

The Head of Programme Development will:

• Build and develop the WIT programme as part of the WIT leadership team, learning from our pilot areas and using their knowledge and experience to adapt and improve our delivery.

• Directly support our WIT teams, working alongside them to ensure high-quality interventions and activities which keep children and young people at the heart of WIT delivery.

• Guide WIT strategy as we grow, working with new partners and building the best WIT teams in each new area.

To help us achieve our missions you will:

• Have a passion for supporting vulnerable children and young people believing that change is always possible.

• Have a deep understanding and experience of the youth justice system and its statutory functions, with the creativity and tenacity to find new ways of working which reduce bureaucracy and increase impact.

• Have a track record of leading projects and people with the ability to inspire and motivate others - teams, participants, and partners.

WIT recognises the destructive cycle of children and young people committing crimes disproportionately impacts BAME communities. Therefore, we are especially interested in hearing from applicants who are Black, Asian or from a minority ethnic background for all WIT roles to help us ensure our delivery reflects the lives of the children and young people we are seeking to support.

To apply, please complete the application form linked below 

Applications close 5pm on Thursday 5th November.
