About Breathe Arts Health Research

The Breathe Arts Health Research team believe everybody has the equal right to lead a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. For some people, however, there are significant barriers to this: ill health, a stressful job, loneliness, or simply living in a society that is not well adapted to their physical or emotional needs. There is strong evidence that the arts can offer people facing these challenges something very special: the chance to discover their creativity and interact with others, giving them purpose and value.  By drawing on this research and breathing music, magic, dance - and much more - into healthcare spaces and communities, we offer people hope, friendship and fulfilment when they need it most. We do this through a diverse range of evidence-based performing arts programmes, co-created with clinicians and artists in order to deliver life-changing experiences.

We have received wide recognition for our innovative, high quality work, including the Action for Children’s Arts Outstanding Contribution Award, NHS England’s Innovation Challenge Award, PwC’s Social Entrepreneurs Club Award and Nesta’s ‘New Radicals’ accolade.  We have featured on BBC Breakfast, London News, ‘Trust Me I’m a Doctor’ and other media. As we now move on from our start-up phase to become more established and sustainable, our ambition is to grow our arts in health programmes and change more people’s lives for the better.  That’s where this role comes in.

About this role

The Head of Development will develop and deliver an effective income generation strategy, taking the lead on managing and growing our relationships with a wide range of new and existing supporters. That means making the most out of some great existing partnerships as well as developing new opportunities, all of which will contribute to us supporting more people.

Breathe is in a great position when it comes to fundraising. We have a strong network of businesses and individuals that are incredibly passionate about our work.  We have a fantastic story and an enthused, engaged set of patrons and ambassadors willing to support our fundraising.  This is a new, standalone role, however all the Breathe team are very engaged in fundraising so the Head of Development will receive excellent, proactive assistance from them, the Managing Director and a network of talented artists ready to participate in events and initiatives in a creative, engaging way.

About you

You are highly empathic and are motivated by building effective relationships.  You’ll have extensive experience in corporate or community fundraising, business development or account management, with a deep understanding of how to build and manage a wide range of partnerships. Specifically:

• You have an aptitude and love for storytelling, being able to influence and persuade both companies and individuals to support Breathe. You can express yourself compellingly in writing and speech, with superb presentation skills
• You are not intimidated by a big financial target (at least £150,000 of income each year)
• You want to work for an organisation that values kindness, innovation and excellence

The opportunities to build funding partnerships that help to deliver these cultural & community plans are significant.

Our ambition is to become a key performance and arts centre in South East London. We are looking to build a community of artists across a wide variety of different creative disciplines; traditional and modern; craft-based and cutting edge. Our developing performance schedule will be about promoting the very best emerging artists across all performance artforms.

Stanley Halls has secured funding from recognised funders over the past four years, including Architectural Heritage Fund, National Lottery Heritage Fund, National Lottery Community Fund , BFI, and we are also benefiting from funding from the Good Growth Fund. As we develop the venue programming and forge new artistic collaborations, alongside growing our volunteering and community outreach, we are excited by the potential for this expansion in activity to unlock future funding opportunities.

About “Speakers for Schools”

Few charities generate more excitement and inspiration than Speakers for Schools. Whether or not we’ve organised Naomi Campbell to share the highs and lows of her journey with 150 young people from Elmgreen School, or 15 young people to participate in work experience at the Bank of England, every day brings laughter, excitement and that warm feeling that you did something good.

Founded by ITV Political Editor Robert Peston (Trustee), and chaired by Andrew Law (Caxton Associates), Speakers for Schools was created to help level the playing field for UK state schools and their students by giving them the same access to the UK’s leading figures from politics, business, and sport as enjoyed by private schools. 

Bill Gates, Baroness (Martha) Lane Fox, Professor Brian Cox, David Dein, David Cameron, Natalie Bennett, Philip Hammond, Naomi Campbell and over a thousand other influential and inspirational people have been kind enough to volunteer their time to speak with Speakers for Schools. Three-quarters of a million Young People have attended a Speakers for Schools talk.

More recently, we launched our S4SNextGen service. S4SNextGen works with our outstanding network of speakers and partner employers, to offer young people, work experience opportunities which would usually be out of reach to them. We have now offered more than two thousand work experience placements at employers such as the Bank of England, M&C Saatchi, Disney, Vogue, BA, Cisco and others. 

Speakers for Schools is entering a new and exciting phase in its journey. Having recently appointed its new CEO Jason Elsom, and thanks to the continued and extended generosity of the Law Family Charitable Foundation, Speakers for Schools will accelerate its growth to support more young people by initially growing its team from eight to thirteen before the end of 2019, with additional growth planned throughout 2020.

Core Purpose and Key Responsibilities

You will have the enviable position of working with our CEO, Director of Fundraising, and wider team, to establish a fundraising programme, where none currently exists. This means that you will not inherit an outdated onion-layered programme, installed by someone who came before you, but contribute to the shaping of something new. 

We expect out-of-the-box thinking and entrepreneurial strategies, built on the foundation of your experiences, and ideas which you may not have previously been able to action. Although our current and enlarged team are supported by one donor, you will play a key role in helping us scale, by contributing to a team target of restricted and unrestricted funding of 6/7 figures above our current funding levels. You will report to our recently appointed Director of Fundraising, in a team which we anticipate will grow during 2020. The rest we will write together.

-
