A multi-tasker, at home with conflicting priorities who thrives on a challenge, you will find lots of opportunity to make a big impact for people with Breast Cancer by driving forward our data programme.

The successful candidate will be a talented relationship builder, experienced in working across multiple stakeholders, who can take communicate effectively to a range of audiences and increase organisational understanding about complex data challenges. With technical teams and developers reporting to you, your understanding of development challenges and code will be strong, with a can-do attitude to help solve the problems we face.

About Us

We’re excited to announce that in April 2019, Breast Cancer Care and Breast Cancer Now united to create one charity for everyone affected by breast cancer. From research to care, our new charity has people affected by the disease at its heart – providing support for today and hope for the future. United, we can carry out even more world-class research, provide even more life-changing support and campaign even more effectively for better services and care.

By bringing together our passion, energy, expertise, funds and networks, we will make greater progress in more effective ways to make sure that, by 2050, everyone who develops breast cancer will live and receive the support they need to live well.

We are looking for a dynamic fundraising professional who can help lead us into our next stage of growth as a charity. We are looking for someone who is ambitious, visionary, creative, and compassionate, who recognises the challenges facing refugees as they rebuild their lives in the UK, as well as the great potential they possess, and the opportunities needed to realise this potential.

Imagine this…

You're packed in the back of a grubby van driving through an unknown land. You hear your smugglers exchanging a coarse joke. You look out of the tiny opening in the window beside you and watch the sun setting on another uncomfortable day. The smugglers promised you safety from violence. Right now, though, safety feels like a distant memory...

Refugees have been forcibly displaced from their home. Their lives have been invaded by violence, war or persecution.

Upbeat Communities is a Christian charity that exists to help refugees settle and rebuild their lives in the UK. We have been helping strangers become neighbours since 2005.

In line with the Christian ethos and values of Upbeat Communities, and due to the strategic importance and seniority of this role, there is a genuine occupational requirement that the post holder is a practicing Christian.

About us.

Upbeat Communities was founded in response to the needs of refugees arriving in the UK and the stories they shared of their lives and their journeys. Through building relationships with those from refugee communities we were able to identify their needs and the best ways to respond.

One of the best resources a refugee can have to help them settle in their new home is a good social network. Relationships and connectedness can help overcome the many challenges faced by those seeking refuge. With this aim, we want to help connect refugees into community.

Our name reflects our vision to see thriving, positive communities where refugees can contribute and make the most of opportunities.

We greet new arrivals with our Welcome Boxes befriending project. We offer free English classes and community activities to help refugees (adults and children) integrate. We empower refugees to rebuild their lives through Host Derby (temporary accommodation), mentoring (careers guidance) and the Vulnerable Persons Resettlement Scheme, which local authorities contract us to deliver. We also empower the local community through awareness raising. Our organisational values, lived out by our staff and volunteers, are:

We work to WELCOME
We create COMMUNITY
We are inspired to act with INTEGRITY

We exist to EMPOWER
We are committed to CREATIVITY
We run on RELATIONSHIPS
We are proud to be PROFESSIONAL

We have COMPASSION at our core

Upbeat Communities’ Christian ethos is the motivation for all our work. It is the reason why we do what we do. It is to work together to demonstrate God’s love to refugees who have been displaced by war, conflict or persecution. We are inspired by the message, life and example of Jesus through which God’s unconditional love for all people is expressed. It compels us to love our neighbours as ourselves. It is through relationships, with each other and those whom we seek to work with, that we practice and demonstrate our ethos. We seek to live out Jesus’ command to “welcome the stranger” by building mutually enriching relationships with those who are seeking sanctuary in our country.

Context of the role.

We currently have a diverse range of income streams including grants, local authority contracts, one-off donations, regular giving and earned income. Our 3-year strategic plan has identified a number of areas of development which will require increased funding for the charity. Our income for each of the last 2 financial years has been ~£500K but we are looking to increase this across all current income streams, in particular our grant funding, as well as developing new areas of growth including corporate and major donor giving.

In order to achieve this, we have created a new role of Head of Fundraising and are looking to fill this position as soon as possible. The Head of Fundraising will develop and lead on our long term fundraising strategy in line with our organisation-wide strategic objectives.

The successful candidate will have a positive attitude and love resourcing our team with the finances to deliver the best possible services to those we work with. The candidate will be committed to, actively demonstrate, and take a lead in the delivery of our Christian values, ethos and practice in order to achieve our mission and vision.

About You.

Are you passionate about communicating a message of hope and transformation that will engage current donors as well as recruit new supporters in financing our work of welcoming refugees and helping strangers become neighbours?

Are you a leader who can inspire the Upbeat team with a vision for fundraising and generating new income for the charity?

Are you committed to living out your Christian faith in the workplace through prayer, worship, leadership and action?

Are you a catalyst in cultivating long term relationships with individuals, churches, businesses and grant funders?

Are you meticulous in your approach to project/campaign planning and delivery and can work well at both the strategic and operational level?

Do you thrive in an environment that can change quickly and needs creative and agile responses, often needing flexibility to manage the competing demands on your time?

Are you comfortable working digitally, embracing new developments in tech, whilst also confident in more traditional approaches to fundraising including bid writing and engaging relationally with major donors and grant funders?

Are you committed to standing alongside refugees, providing welcome and support as they rebuild their lives as well as listening and learning from those who remain resilient in the face of great difficulty?

Are you an experienced Fundraising Manager looking for a new challenge, an ambitious fundraising professional looking to develop your skills and experience, or maybe someone who hasn’t worked in the charity sector previously but has some amazing transferrable skills gained in the public or private sector?

If that describes you, then you sound like the perfect fit!

Please read the full job description/ person specification attached before applying.

There is no set deadline for this post. Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and interviews will be scheduled accordingly. Applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible.

“Enter The House of St Barnabas - A public-minded private members’ club in London is demolishing stereotypes” – Dazed and Confused

Our mission is to break the cycle of homelessness.

We deliver our mission through our Employment Academy, through which participants experience a holistic programme of long-term support, helping them secure good work, a good home and a good network. When this programme is in progress, participants take on work experience throughout the House, in the club spaces and in our offices. The HoSB team act as professional buddies to those in office-based roles, working closely with them to provide skills training and to set a positive example of ways of working. This one to one support throughout the programme, and our wider club community of members and supporters, provides a supportive environment in which our participants can challenge themselves to change their lives.

Underpinning our Employment Academy is our vibrant member’s club based in our grade 1 listed building, right in the heart of Soho. Our member’s club further deepens our impact by:

• Providing a network for our participants of supportive mentors, employers and friends

• Offering a training ground for those returning to work through real-world work placements in hospitality and office-based roles

• Convening creative conversations across sectors and disciplines working to break the cycle of homelessness

We fund our work through the profit we make from membership and private hire, combined and matched with fundraising.

In order for our model to work, we aim to run an outstanding private members club; bringing together a diverse community of creative people who care about social change. We want them to experience high quality food and drink, a personalised service and an engaging offer of culture and events that entertain and enlighten.

We have exciting plans for the future. We intend to create a new entry point for those already in work but who want to progress from a first job after homelessness to “good work”, with better pay, more regular hours and better prospects for promotion, and we intend to increase provision through our accommodation pathway. To do this we will need to grow our commercial income from both the club and private hire (including a potential building development project). We also want to better use the skills and connections of our community of members and supporters in pursuit of our aims.
