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

Summary of role

As Head of Partnerships Funding, you will be responsible for the development and delivery of AfriKids’ partnerships fundraising plan; to secure funding for our projects, core costs and future innovation and growth. Over the next year, in line with a new organisational strategy, you will diversify and grow our partnership funding portfolio by building and strengthening the existing pipeline to include: strategic corporate partners; consortium partners and international donors.

Key responsibilities and duties

• You will produce a creative and ambitious plan to raise funding for our projects from “partners”, ie institutional donors, trusts, charitable foundations and companies. This “partnerships plan” should be informed by relevant data and research. Your partnerships plan will include a realistic budget, including what you will need to spend and the income you expect to raise.
• You will line manage a Partnerships Manager and head up the Partnerships Team which also includes a Partnerships Assistant.
• You will ensure the performance of the partnerships team is effectively monitored (eg through Key Performance Indicators) and use this information to amend or update your partnerships plan as needed. For example, if something is not working well, you will pick up on it, decide what to do differently and make sure everyone that needs to know is informed.
• You will work with AfriKids Ghana to ensure strong “programme cycle management”. This is the end-to-end process of designing and delivering our projects in Ghana and your role will be to ensure the requirements of funding partners are met. For example, you will ensure the plans for monitoring and evaluating projects include capturing the information partners want to see or that partner logos are featured as required on uniforms, vehicles, etc.
• Through internal reports and close communication with AfriKids Ghana, you will maintain an in-depth, up-to-date knowledge of AfriKids’ projects and their funding requirements, to help ensure your partnerships fundraising plan remains relevant and maximises opportunities.

• You will be creative and ambitious in making the most of funding partnership opportunities

• Through strategy documents and internal updates, you will maintain a good understanding of our organisational strategy and how your work is making a difference
• You will support AfriKids Ghana in their efforts to secure funding partnerships from Ghana

• You will produce high quality, timely proposals, pitches and feedback reports to funding partners, being sure to address funder requirements and priorities
• You will proactively seek funding opportunities through our existing relationships with funding partners and by finding new ones
• You will work to grow and diversify our partnerships funding portfolio. This will include understanding and pursuing different types of partnerships (for example, not just relying on traditional grants and exploring opportunities from overseas funders (namely in the US)). While building a mixed portfolio of opportunities, you will ensure there is a sensible balance of low-high risk opportunities, in order for us to have a realistic expectation of what will be raised from partnerships
• You will ensure the partnerships team produce high quality, compelling reports and materials for partnerships funding that meet our branding guidelines and are factually accurate and up to date
• You will ensure the partnerships team keep our database up to date with all of the required information relating to partnership fundraising, in line with our data protection and information security policies
• You will help improve the ways the partnerships team works with AfriKids Ghana for communication and information sharing to work effectively for partnerships funding and also provide our other fundraising teams with useful and up-to-date information about our projects.
• Through research and networking, you will ensure you stay informed about the external context relevant to our partnerships funding. For example, by reading publications and data about child rights in Ghana; learning about what other charities doing similar work are doing; keeping an eye on changes to relevant laws and regulations, etc.
