Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, so don't wait to apply

We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced and talented fundraiser who can help us ensure that our unique organisation continues to expand its reach to women who want to turn their lives around. 

Working Chance is a trailblazing, award-winning charity helping women with convictions – many of whom have been in prison – to build a career they can thrive in.

It’s a great time to join us. Our team and our profile have been steadily growing over the last couple of years, and the topics we focus on are never far from the headlines: championing gender equality, reforming our criminal justice system, and determining how to create a fairer and more inclusive employment landscape, especially as the economy reopens after Brexit and Covid-19. 

You’ll have the track record and confidence to thrive in this standalone role, but will benefit from support from your comms colleagues and input from our Chief Executive. You'll be able to think and plan strategically but equally be happy to get stuck into the nitty gritty of fundraising and to try new things. 

Our finances and funding pipeline are healthy (with around three-quarters of our funding coming from trusts and foundations) so you’ll have a really strong base to work from, which will give you time to get to know our funding landscape and get stuck into managing our corporate partnerships and implementing our individual giving strategy, alongside our comms team. 

The ideal candidate will have a strong sense of what makes funders tick, and the ability to communicate our case for support through exceptionally high-quality written work and in meetings. You will have significant experience of successful fundraising for a charity, including researching prospects, meeting with funders, writing successful applications and funding reports. 

We are deeply committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion, and we welcome applications from all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applicants with lived experience of the criminal justice system.

About Safe Passage International

Safe Passage International was founded in late 2015 in response to what became known as Europe’s modern ‘refugee crisis’.

• Our vision is for every person seeking asylum to be able to access a safe and legal route to a place where they can lead a full and dignified life.

About Newcastle Theatre Royal

The Newcastle Theatre Royal Trust is a registered charity, home to the finest drama, the brightest West End musicals, the cream of the comedy circuit, award winning ballet and dance, and the best Pantomime in the country! We are one of the largest and most successful theatres in the UK and in a normal year, we present 400 performances to 400,000 people.

Like many arts and cultural organisations, the past year has seen us having to pause our creative output and temporarily close our doors to the public. However, our planned reopening in July 2021 presents new opportunities for us to reinstate our ambitious and exciting programme, continuing our role as the leading theatre in the North East.

We have ambitions to grow our community and education facilities and programmes, and increase access and participation for under-represented and diverse groups, and these will form the core focus of our future fundraising activities.

About the role

The Head of Fundraising is a brand-new role. Building on the existing success of our charity and brand, it is a broad post, working across the Newcastle Theatre Royal Trust and tasked with setting up a new fundraising function. This will involve building income from a range of different donors including trusts & foundations, local corporate as well as major donors. We are particularly keen to develop our audience loyalty and increase membership, giving and legacy income to fund our charitable activities,; we are working with international consultancy TRG Arts on this loyalty programme and the Head of Fundraising will be integral to the development of this programme of work.

Could it be you?

We have a strong base of commercial income and a loyal network of individual members as well as regular theatre goers but we have undertaken relatively little fundraising in the past ten years. We are looking for someone who can nurture and develop this base of support and develop trust, major gift and corporate fundraising strategies in order to diversify and grow our income.

You will need to be able to substantially develop our fundraising income generation, implementing a strategy to overcome the challenges created by the Covid-19 pandemic in the short term and reach our ambitious goals for growth in the long term.

You will need to be a confident team player with exceptional communication, line management, relationship management and workload management skills. You will need to have experience in managing budgets, contributing to organisational strategy and with an outstanding track record in delivering ambitious income targets.  You will be able to advocate for the charity externally and bring the internal teams with you in terms of fundraising strategy and operationally delivery.

In the UK there are more than 1.3 million children and young people living with a disability and nearly four million children living in poverty.  We exist to improve the lives of these children and since 1949 Variety in the UK has raised more than £270m in pursuit of this objective. 

Variety provides practical, tangible help that makes an immediate difference, which includes grants for specialist equipment as well as accessible transport used by schools and other non-profit organisations across the UK. Our Great Days Out are legendary.

The impact of the Covid pandemic on our event income has highlighted the importance of growing even further our other income streams, and our trustees have approved new investment in fundraising to strengthen the team and its performance.

We aim to double non - event fundraising income over the coming five years, create a sustainable fundraising programme for the long-term and bring about a culture change that sees non - event fundraising income take an equally important role alongside our event fundraising income.

The British Racing School [BRS] is an educational charity with an “Outstanding” rating from Ofsted. The BRS is based in Newmarket, providing education and training to those working in the horseracing industry across the UK and internationally.

The School is key to the long-term sustainable future of the industry and as such is embedded within the racing community and economy of Newmarket. Our reach extends to local and regional schools, colleges, businesses, regulators, local government and a wide range of land-based industries and associations. We recognise the potential to extend and broaden our network and are ambitious to do so.

Our Charitable Objectives are:

1. To provide education and training of the highest possible standard for those employed in or seeking employment in the horse racing industry.

2.  To provide initiatives involving horses and/or ponies, whether autonomously or in association with community groups, charities and/or schools, with a view to promoting community cohesion and mental health and so as to support, in particular, those experiencing poor physical or mental health, social isolation and/or anti-social behaviour.

The Role

We are seeking to recruit an experienced and proven fundraiser to lead and innovate our approach, creating and delivering a compelling fundraising strategy, including the targeting of grant giving Trusts, high net worth donors and legacy giving.

This is a part time role, based on a 21-hour working week, which can be worked flexibly. The role may therefore suit an individual wishing to work 3 days per week, shorter days over five weeks, or full-time for some of the year with a shorter working week during school holidays.  

The role will require regular interaction with colleagues and trainees so at least part of the role will need to be performed at the BRS in Newmarket. Much of the role could be done from home so being close to Newmarket while desirable is not a prerequisite.  

Main duties and responsibilities of the role:

• Create and deliver a compelling and innovative fund-raising strategy
• Target, build and manage a portfolio of donors, building strategic and long-term relationships at the very highest level.
• Develop a thorough understanding of the BRS and the young people we train to enable you to articulate the mission of our work and inspire people to join us.

• Manage and attend events and meetings with external representatives and involving the CEO, SMT, Trustees and other colleagues and volunteers.
• Work with staff across the BRS to encourage and empower them to build relationships with prospective supporters and the networks that influence them.

What we are looking for:

• Experience of successfully account managing relationships with high net-worth individuals and trusts, with a proven record of securing six and seven-figure gifts in the process.
• Experience of working with Trustees and Senior Management to share ideas, deliver new relationships and improve income
• Ability to articulate complex issues to supporters in a compelling manner
• Knowledge of philanthropy in the UK and a good understanding of the process of securing major gifts.
• Excellent personal communication skills.

Integrity, credibility and a can-do attitude are core to the quality of the team at the BRS. We welcome new ideas and fresh thinking and this role is one that can exploit all of your experience and expertise as well as offer new opportunities for new and exciting ways of working. The successful candidate will be motivated by a desire to help improve the life chances of young people from all backgrounds. You will be pragmatic, determined and humble, with a high level of emotional intelligence. It is critical that the successful candidate possesses an open and collaborative style able to fit the culture of the BRS. Whilst a desire to help young people is essential there is no requirement to have a detailed knowledge of horses or horseracing, but an interest and enthusiasm for the industry is desirable.

Employing a highly capable and diverse team is important to our success, so we will welcome applications from any minority group.

Safeguarding our young people is an uncompromising priority. The successful applicant will be required to undergo an enhanced DBS check and provide the names of two contacts who can be approached to provide a professional reference.

Closing date 4th October 2021, interviews will be held during the week commencing 11th October 2021.

We connect minds: We bring people together to make change in their communities

We support minds: We deliver life changing support

We change minds: We speak out and demand better from policy makers and the public

Together, we are Mind: We work together to become a more inclusive and effective federation

Our values underpin everything we do. They are:

• Open: We reach out to anyone who needs us.
• Together: We're stronger in partnership.
• Responsive: We listen, we act.
• Independent: We speak out fearlessly.
• Unstoppable: We never give up.

We value the power of diversity. We embrace the different perspectives that each of us bring. We are creating an inclusive working environment where everyone is appreciated for being authentic and bringing their whole selves to work regardless of race, gender, age, religion, identity and experience.

We are committed to becoming truly anti-racist in everything we do and ensuring that all our employees are treated fairly and equitably at work and promoting equity in physical and mental health for all.

Our strategy has becoming an anti-racist organisation right at the centre of our work. For more information please visit click on the button below.
