Our University has a proud history of philanthropy stretching back to its foundation in 1900 by Joseph Chamberlain. Since then philanthropy has continued to play an important role in shaping the University with funds supporting life-changing research, scholarships and new facilities. This year we launched our new campaign, Birmingham In Action, which aims to transform lives for our generation and the next by tackling some of the world’s greatest challenges. These challenges include access to education, cancer, youth mental health, the environment (including climate change and plastic pollution) and migration. The campaign is a truly global campaign (having launched in Birmingham, London, Hong Kong, New York and San Francisco) and aims to raise £400 million, and secure 1 million hours of volunteering, making it one of the largest campaigns in the UK Higher Education sector.
The Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) exists to support our student and research community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities. The Office, which is comprised of 60 staff across five teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from graduates, alumni and individuals who are passionate about changing lives, through funding various research trials, supporting student scholarships, mentoring students, and providing internships.
The Fundraising Relationship Manager role is your opportunity to join our excellent team at an exciting time. You will have sales experience or major gifts expertise, and will be passionate about progressing your career and understand the impact the University’s teaching and research has on the world. Your role will be responsible for the relationship management of a portfolio of prospective and existing donors. You will seek to gain knowledge and understanding of the giving preferences of these audiences, and work to help the University to develop a philanthropic offer that meets their interests. All activities will be delivered in close collaboration with DARO colleagues as well as other parts of the University.
As part of an award winning team and led by some of the most respected names in higher education fundraising, you will work with our current Fundraising Relationship Managers to generate gifts to the University and encourage new donors to make long-term, sustainable and significant (5 and 6-figure) gifts. Your objectives and KPIs will be set by the Head of Philanthropy. You will also have the opportunity to work with our senior team on major proposals to top donors enabling you to get experience of working with some of the most successful and experienced major gift fundraisers in the UK Higher Education sector.

CEO – Air Ambulances UK
Would you like the opportunity to lead the national Charity supporting, representing and advocating the lifesaving work of the nation’s air ambulance charities and the wider air ambulance sector?
Background
Air Ambulances UK is a national charity, originally founded in 2015, to support the 21 air ambulance charities across the UK. Its activities have been focussed on raising funds from the types of national fundraising partnerships for which the individual ‘local’ charities are not eligible. The funds raised are then distributed amongst the ‘local’ charities.
In January 2020, the Association of Air Ambulances Ltd (AAA), the long-standing professional trade body of the UK’s air ambulance sector, was merged into Air Ambulances UK, the national charity. This has formed one single nationwide organisation for the UK’s air ambulance charities, as well as for the wider air ambulance services community which brings huge benefits and opportunities to the sector. Not only does it provide a more streamlined and effective way to achieve the joint overall aim of improving pre-hospital care for patients, it also creates just one single national entity with which other organisations and the public can more easily engage and support.
The new organisation will retain its charitable status and continue its fundraising work while taking on the important remit and activities of the AAA. Our unified aim is to bring together global-leading clinical and aviation expertise and world-class businesses and organisations to drive innovation, development and funding of pre-hospital emergency care, enabling air ambulance charities to save even more lives every day across the UK.
Appointment of a Chief Executive
For the first time the charity intends to appoint a CEO. The CEO will provide leadership and management to the new organisation and will work closely with the Chair and the Board of Trustees to set the strategic direction. As well as being responsible for the effective day to day management of the charity, the CEO will act as an ambassador, developing and brokering strategic partnerships and collaborations with other stakeholders and working to ensure that AAUK offers an invaluable service to its Members and the wider air ambulance community.
The CEO will have strong strategic leadership and operational management ability, excellent communication skills and a ‘can-do’ attitude. Experience of and the ability to transform strategy into delivery with clarity and accuracy, and a demonstrable capacity to develop relationships with a variety of stakeholders, will be key attributes for this post.
We are incredibly excited about the opportunities that the unification of AAA and AAUK brings to the lifesaving work of the nation’s air ambulance charities and the wider air ambulance sector and the potential for this role.
If you want to play a leading part in shaping the future of our services across the UK, then we would be delighted to hear from you.
The location of the role is flexible – there will need to be a decision about whether/where any office is located and the role is likely to be home based with travel required initially (AAA office is currently in Henley in Arden and the lease expires in July, AAUK staff are currently home based)
