Are you an experienced Fundraiser with the skills and passion to generate significant income from individuals and Trusts & Foundations? Do you have a desire to raise funds that will make a real difference to local people with life-limiting illness and their families?   

We are looking for someone who can lead, teach and mentor a small team whilst delivering hands on fundraising – liaising with Major Donors, writing Trust applications, reviewing Direct Marketing Appeals and developing projects.  You will be responsible for developing and delivering a fundraising strategy in order to generate significant year on year income growth. This is the perfect role for someone who really wants to make their mark.

The Role

The postholder will be instrumental in ensuring we stay innovative and creative, explore and exploit multichannel opportunities, develop and deliver motivating appeals and generate engaging content to encourage donations. 

The Future

It’s safe to say all our lives have changed since the start of the pandemic and Crohn’s & Colitis UK had to adapt and change as well. But as we come through this, the charity has taken great steps to ensure that we can continue to provide support and services for people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis.

Our fundraising campaigns have gone from strength to strength and we have been delighted and inspired by our community which has responded to our new, and in some cases virtual, fundraising activities with enthusiasm. The continuation of their support has been so great to see and we’re extremely grateful. In 2020 we surpassed our income predications despite changes in our fundraising due to the pandemic, and we are on track to surpass them again in 2021.

We are looking ahead to a period of growth as we put the impact of the pandemic behind us and innovate and adapt further. We are confident the charity can continue to support those who need us, and our new organisational strategy will give us the direction and drive for the next exciting chapter in the charity’s future.

About You

You will be a highly motivated and target driven individual with proven evidence of raising significant income and high levels of engagement from regular givers and/or members. You'll have experience of legacy, and in-memory giving, and of working with key stakeholders, including Trustees and CEOs. 

You will have the ability to identify opportunities and develop innovative methods to appeal to prospective legacy donors, members and long-term supporters, coupled with experience of providing excellent stewardship and nurturing experiences for donors. You will be sensitive and diplomatic, and possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills which, when added to your professional, positive and can-do attitude, will enable you to engage effectively with key stakeholders, current and potential donors, suppliers, agencies and colleagues from across the charity. You will be tenacious, an excellent negotiator and be motivated by securing great value for money.

You will have significant experience of leading and managing teams, developing and delivering exemplary supporter journeys and customer care as well as writing tailored, impactful copy to encourage giving.

Registered Charity Numbers: E&W1082947, SC040094

From Bernie Sanders to Greenpeace UK, progressive organisations are using digital mobilisation to activate hundreds of thousands of campaigners and raise millions of pounds online. Forward Action believes that a digital mobilisation model - where organisations use digital channels to drive tens or hundreds of thousands of supporters to take advocacy, fundraising and volunteering actions - can revolutionize campaigning and fundraising in the NGO sector, but its potential is still largely untapped in the UK. We help progressive organisations build digital mobilisation programmes and, as our Head of Creative, you will lead our creative team to produce copy and designs that inspire people to take action.

You’ll be in charge of our copywriting, design and creative work. You’ll set the creative direction for our work, write and edit copy, come up with digital engagement tactics, facilitate brainstorms with our partners and ensure we deliver high quality creative work that helps our progressive partners hit their goals. And finally, you’ll manage two Digital Creatives, overseeing their work to keep delivering creative that produces excellent results with our partners.

If you know how to write copy that drives people to act, have great attention to detail, enjoy supporting partners to come up with creative ideas, and would be excited to help spread digital mobilisation across the charity sector, this job is for you.

This is a permanent role, with the freedom to work both in our London office and remotely from home, although during any lockdowns you will, of course, only work from home. You can work either four or five days a week.

People from communities that traditionally experience discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, or immigration status; women and non-binary people; parents; people with disabilities; and LGBTQ+ people are especially encouraged to apply.

Who we are

Forward Action is a digital mobilisation agency for progressive causes. We help our partner organisations reach new supporters, then mobilise them to become activists and donors. We have been in the engine room of some of the most successful election and charity digital campaigns of the last few years, helping our partners add millions of new supporters to their email lists, raise more money online (from more donors) and create campaigns that have led to real-world change. You will play a key role in this in your job.

Our values are critical to us: we will only work with causes that make the world a better place. You will get to work with some of the most inspiring and impactful organisations in the sector - such as Greenpeace, Cancer Research UK, and Amnesty International - and spend your days helping win progress on everything from climate change to homelessness.

You will be working at the cutting edge of digital mobilisation. We trust in data rather than our gut instincts, so we are constantly testing and iterating in our work in order to challenge assumptions and drive better results. We are an agile, fast-moving team, and you will have the opportunity to rapidly expand your knowledge and experience. 

One of our fundamental values is that all our work should drive real-world, measurable results. But we also believe that the greatest progressive impact we can have is to give our partner organisations the skills, knowledge and culture they need to do what we do themselves. We want to spread our skills and way of working across the progressive sector, not make our partners dependent on us. 

What you’ll do as part of our team

• Set the overall creative direction and messaging for our work with partners, and ensure that all the copy we deliver meets a high standard

• Plan, write and edit copy for emails, Facebook ads, signup and fundraising pages, and digital engagement tools (example here)

• Collaborate with other members of the Forward Action team to ensure our creative work remains innovative and sector-leading

• Share creative recommendations with our partners and train them in copywriting and email best practice

• Manage creative capacity for Forward Action, ensuring that concepts, copy and other deliverables are produced on time and to a high standard

• Line manage our two Digital Creatives, overseeing their workload and supporting their professional development

• Provide clear, constructive feedback on copy written by the Digital Creatives, freelance copywriters and other members of the team

• Facilitate brainstorms and creative sessions, and come up with concepts for handraisers, fundraising campaigns, engagement tools and other tactics

• Lead on the design process for new webpages, including planning user journeys, providing designers with briefs, and feeding back on designs

Benefits and location

Pro Rata Salary: £46,375 if you live inside London, £41,406 (plus £3,000 travel expense allowance) if you live outside London.

Contract Term: This is a permanent contract. The role can be either full time or four days a week.

Location: At home during lockdown; post-lockdown, in our Hoxton office, with the option to work remotely. Ensuring our team is open to people who live outside London and enabling staff to work flexibly are important values to us, so you’ll have the freedom to work from home regularly. Many of our meetings are held via video conferencing, but post-lockdown you will need to attend meetings with partners in London fairly regularly - once or twice a week on average.

Holiday: 25 days/year (pro rata), plus bank holidays and the week between Christmas and New Year.

Extra holiday for travelling sustainably: We’re a member of the Climate Perks scheme, so you’ll have an extra two days of holiday a year if you use them to travel by land or sea instead of taking a flight.

Maternity and Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave: For a small organisation, we’re proud to have a generous and progressive parental leave policy. Maternity leave is 12 weeks at full pay, 14 weeks at 50% pay. Paternity/Long-term partner parental leave is 6 weeks at full pay.

Working culture and hours: Our team is open, inclusive, friendly, respectful and kind. We are especially looking forward to seeing applications from people that experience discrimination on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, or immigration status; women and non-binary people; new parents; disabled people; and LGBTQ+ people.

We work eight hour days (including a 30 minute lunch break), with core hours of 9:30am-4:30pm. We put a lot of importance on ensuring everyone finishes on time: while there are some times when you’ll need to stay a little later to finish work, people in the team rarely work more than 45-60 minutes late. No one ever works on weekends or their holidays. 

Abilities and experience you’ll need to have

• 3+ years experience working in digital campaigning and/or digital fundraising

• Excellent copywriting and communication skills

• Experience writing and editing copy for emails, online ads and websites

• Enthusiasm for thinking creatively, coming up with and evaluating new ideas

• Comfortable working across multiple projects and partnerships simultaneously

• Good organisation and attention to detail

• Dedication to helping build a fairer, more progressive society

• Fluency in spoken and written English

We’re also looking for a quick learner. We don’t expect you to know or have done everything when you start - instead, we’ll be looking for you to pick up new skills and knowledge quickly, then run with them.

Abilities and experience that are nice to have

We know it’s not possible for any applicants to have all these skills - it’s likely you’ll be able to bring 3 - 5 of the following to our team:

• Strong facilitation skills

• Experience managing at least one team member

• Experience working as a freelancer and/or at an agency

• An understanding of online user experience (e.g. how to lay out a web page to improve conversion rates)

• Experience planning supporter email journeys

• Experience planning Facebook ad campaigns

• Knowledge of how to plan a fair A/B test

• Experience working with designers

Head of Fundraising

Could you lead the development and delivery of our fundraising strategy, have a lasting impact on the issues surrounding gambling-related harm and play a leading role in preventing the unnecessary loss of young lives?

Location: Flexible with the offer of a budget to pay for a hot desk in a convenient location or to work from a current office location in London or Manchester.

Appointment of a Head of Fundraising

Gambling with Lives (GwL) has had a remarkable impact on the discourse surrounding the risks of gambling since it was established in 2018. Prior to GwL’s contribution there was little to no mainstream recognition of the link between gambling and suicide. The charity’s founders have become central to the case for gambling reform and were instrumental in campaigning for the review of gambling legislation in the UK which was announced at the end of 2020.

The campaign and the charity’s broader development are now at a critical and exciting juncture, which makes the role of Head of Fundraising a fantastic opportunity.

The purpose of this newly created role is to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy for the long-term sustainability of the charity which will allow it to grow its impact through the campaign for change and through the development of its programmes across areas including family support, research, education and treatment. 

The financial position of the charity is strong, having received a significant donation in lieu of a regulatory settlement (fine) levied against a gambling operator in 2020, however the ambitions of the charity are such that new and sustainable income is required. The challenge for the successful candidate will be to find and develop sources of income that are free from the influence of the gambling industry. One of GwL’s values is independence from the gambling industry which it will resolutely defend and promote in others.

The work of developing the strategy will involve scanning the funding landscape to find sources of income that fit the charity’s values, goals and ambitions. The charity’s leadership believe these will likely lie within corporate giving as well as trusts and foundations with interests in the charity’s programmes (mental health, family support, research, education and treatment).

We are looking for someone with a significant track record of raising funds from multiple income streams, including government and public bodies, high net worth individuals, corporates and trusts, foundations or other funding bodies as well as experience of growing and developing an organisation’s fundraising and income generation capability.  The role holder will work as part of a senior management team and will become an important advocate in their own right. They will take a leadership role in steering the charity’s strategy and development.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a start-up environment, and to create a role with the backing of a charity that has substantial resources for its stage of development.  We are looking for a Head of Fundraising who shares our passion and determination for the work we are doing. If you want to play a leading part in shaping the future of GwL, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

Please download the candidate information pack for further information before you apply. Application is by CV and a covering letter which should indicate why you are interested in applying for the role and how you meet the role requirements.  The role is permanent and ideally full time, however flexible and part-time working will be considered for the right candidate.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.

The closing date for applications is Friday 6th August but applications will be considered as they come in so please do apply at your earliest convenience.  Interviews will take place through August.

We would look favourably upon candidates who are experts by experience of either gambling related harm or suicide.  GwL is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity to ensure that we reflect the full breadth of the people we aim to support. We warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates
