3 Head of fundraising jobs in Birmingham, West Midlands

Our client is a national charity founded and led by families bereaved by gambling-related suicide. Through its work supporting those affected and campaigning for meaningful change, the charity is committed to preventing further deaths and ensuring that the experiences of bereaved families drive lasting improvements. At an important stage in its development, the charity is looking for an experienced Head of Fundraising to help strengthen its financial sustainability and support its ambitions for the future.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead and develop a diverse fundraising portfolio, shaping and delivering a strategy that will drive sustainable income growth. Working closely with the CEO and wider team, the Head of Fundraising will take responsibility for income generation across trusts and foundations, corporate partnerships, major donors, community fundraising, events and individual giving. Initially operating as the sole fundraising specialist, with the opportunity to recruit and manage a Fundraising Assistant as the function grows, this is a hands-on role combining strategic leadership with direct fundraising activity and relationship development.

The successful candidate will bring broad fundraising experience, with a proven track record of developing income streams, securing funding and delivering against ambitious targets. You will be confident working across a range of fundraising disciplines, with the ability to identify new opportunities, build strong relationships and develop compelling funding proposals. A strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves, you will be proactive, resourceful and able to work independently while collaborating effectively with colleagues and external stakeholders. Above all, you will bring sensitivity, empathy and a genuine commitment to the mission and values of the charity.

Salary: £50,000 to £55,000
Location: remote
Contract: 21 - 35 hours per week; ideally over Monday to Thursday
