Head of fundraising jobs in london
About CoppaFeel!
CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests monthly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves.
We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives.
Breast cancer does not need to be detected late, and as long as we are here and continue to be supported by people like you, we will do all we can to make sure this doesn’t continue to happen.
The Role
This Corporate Partnerships Manager role plays an essential role in helping the Fundraising Team achieve our ambitious income target, as the role will primarily support the planning, development and delivery of our hugely successful partnership with Asda Tickled Pink.
Raising over £92 million since 1996, Asda Tickled Pink has been the largest supporter of breast cancer charities in the UK over the last 29 years. It has been a major driving force in breast cancer research breakthroughs, funding life-changing services and championing vital breast awareness messaging to its customers, colleagues, and suppliers. Asda Tickled Pink works closely with two charity partners, CoppaFeel! and Breast Cancer Now, to raise funds for better treatments, vital education and life-changing support, for anyone who needs it. Together, we’re putting breast cancer awareness on everyone’s list.
As we head towards the exciting milestone of Asda Tickled Pink’s 30th Anniversary in 2026, we are looking for someone to join our team who will continue to amplify CoppaFeel!’s unique voice, creativity and perspective through the partnership to ensure we are reaching as many people as possible with our life-saving message.

Are you an experienced self-motivated strategic thinker with an understanding of supporter engagement principles, and a passion for animal welfare?
Charity People are delighted to be partnering with a progressive, dynamic, and global organisation dedicated to ending cruelty and restoring respect for all animals throughout Asia.
Since 1998, they've been at the forefront of animal welfare, with a landmark mission to end bear bile farming. With three sanctuaries already open and a commitment to bring home every last bear by 2026, this organisation truly gets things done. Their values are rooted in compassion, collaboration, and continuous improvement, and they are proud to be known for their supportive, inclusive culture and ambitious, forward-thinking team.
The Global Head of Supporter Care will lead a team responsible for delivering exceptional supporter care and gift processing across five key fundraising markets. You'll work closely with colleagues in Data, Insights & Technology, Individual Giving, Global Partnerships, and Communications to develop supporter relationships, inspiring a deeper partnership with the organisation. This is a unique opportunity to shape a global supporter care programme and build a best-in-class experience for a loyal and passionate donor base.
Key responsibilities
- Leading and inspiring a strong, dedicated and high-performing Supporter Care and Gift Processing Team to deliver high-quality supporter care
- Overseeing accurate and efficient gift processing and income acknowledgement
- Collaborating with internal teams to ensure seamless donor journeys and appeal responses
- Monitoring supporter feedback to inform strategy and increase retention
- Driving continuous improvement and innovation across supporter care operations
You'll bring strong experience in a customer service role, ideally within a fundraising or supporter care environment.

You'll be a strategic thinker who can translate vision into action, with a hands-on approach to problem-solving and a passion for continuous improvement. Experience managing people (especially remotely) is a plus, but more important is your drive, initiative, and hunger to grow in a supportive, mission-driven environment.
This role would suit someone looking to step up into a leadership role, likely from a Supporter Care Manager position, who is excited by the opportunity to shape a global programme and make a real difference for animals.

About the role
We’re looking for a proactive and organised Nations Trusts and Foundations Officer to help us grow and strengthen our funding from charitable trusts and foundations - specifically those supporting our work in Carers Scotland, Carers Wales, and Carers Northern Ireland.
This is a key role that directly supports policy influence and service delivery across the nations by securing flexible, budget-relieving grants. You’ll be responsible for researching funders, developing compelling applications, and building strong relationships with a range of national and regional trusts. You’ll also work closely with our teams in each nation to stay connected to their priorities and help translate their vital work into fundable and fund-winning cases for support.
It’s an exciting opportunity for someone who wants to deepen their expertise in trust fundraising while contributing to lasting change for unpaid carers.
About you
You’ll have experience of writing successful trust funding applications and will feel confident asking for grants of five figures or more. You enjoy writing clearly and persuasively, and you’re good at building positive relationships with funders over time.
You’re organised and reliable, able to manage a busy workload and keep on top of deadlines. You pay close attention to detail and take pride in producing accurate work, especially when reporting back to funders.
You’re someone who works well with others. You’ll enjoy talking to our teams in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to understand what they need and how funding can help. You’re curious, committed, and care about making a difference to people’s lives.
It’s helpful if you already understand the charity landscape in the nations or the challenges unpaid carers face, but it’s not essential. Most important is that you bring a positive, thoughtful approach and are ready to learn.
