Reports to: Chief Executive 

Location: Westminster, SW1P 2DG

Salary: Full Time £31,000-£36,000 (depending on experience)

Benefits: 25 days’ annual leave entitlement plus Bank Holidays, pension scheme contributions.

Interview: w/c 9th November 2020

Background

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced Fundraiser, with a proven track record, wanting to help enrich young lives by raising vital funds for St Andrew’s Club in Westminster, the world’s oldest youth club.

Established more than 150 years ago, St Andrew’s Club is a registered charity.  Each year we provide a sense of belonging, fun and informal education to around 700 members, many of whom live locally in Westminster, and come from homes on very tight budgets. The Club is in action seven days a week: we have Senior Club programmes Monday – Friday evenings; we run Junior Club on Monday and Wednesday evenings; we rent out to a Karate Club on Friday and to a performing arts school on Saturday and we field football teams on Saturdays and Sundays. In addition, we run programmes during school holidays through the day and into the evenings.

The Club is a vital resource for the local community, providing value for money opportunities in a safe, attractive environment.  Members develop educationally, socially and personally through an exciting and wide range of sport, art, excursions and practical skills.

Purpose of Position
Over the last few years, the Club has developed a diversified portfolio of fundraising programmes to help us in our ambitions to raise vital funds for growth and sustainability of our important youth provision, with a strong focus on support from Trusts and Foundations, for both project and core funding.  

Following a recent restructure at St Andrew’s Club, the former post holder has been promoted to Chief Executive.  The Club is now seeking a new, self-motivated, talented and ambitious professional Head of Fundraising to build on the success of the last few years, shape the funding future of this unique organisation and make your own mark. There may be capacity for the right candidate to grow in responsibility in relation to a potential capital appeal.  Plans and preparations are underway for a capital appeal to realise the Club’s ambitious development plans and the Head of Fundraising will play their part in moving this forward.

As the principle fundraising resource, you will be adept at working under your own initiative. However, your role will see you work closely with the Chief Executive, the Youth Club Manager and a Fundraising Group of committed Trustees.

This is a diverse role that reflects where we are at as an organisation - a new leadership team, with energy and ambition to grow the membership of, and the funding for, the world’s oldest youth club.

You will come with a strong track record of cultivating relationships with a wide range of supporters and will take ownership of the Club’s fundraising strategy of delivering a costed annual mixed fundraising plan to provide a pipeline of core and project income that will grow the existing programme and meet the annual income target.

Effective stewardship and retention of existing Trusts and Foundations support will be key to your early success, as will timely reporting and acquisition of new support from this source.

In addition, you will lead on broadening the Club's local recognition and support to develop income from local corporates and neighbours; manage the Regular Giving Supporter Programme and plan and deliver the Club’s 3-4 annual fundraising events, mostly virtual in the short term. You will also line manage the Fundraising & Communications Officer to ensure optimal messaging and content across our various platforms and media.

You will be joining an organisation committed to delivering outstanding provision for its members, and a staff team committed to enriching young lives. Our commitment to training and support will help optimise your own development.

Your passion and commitment to the cause will be critical to your success in the role, as will your ability to articulate with great confidence, the huge impact that St Andrew’s Club has on those that it serves.

Full time, 35 hours per week

Home based in the North West, ideally along the M62 corridor within easy reach of the conurbations of Manchester and Liverpool, and requiring the ability to travel throughout the region.

The NSPCC is keen to build its major donor fundraising in the North West and so a rare opportunity has arisen to join a successful team of high value donor fundraisers, responsible for raising the millions of pounds needed to continue the NSPCC’s fight for every childhood.

The Philanthropy team is part of the NSPCC’s Major Donors department. We focus upon high level, individual donors and are responsible for securing major gifts ranging from four to seven figures. Our success is founded upon building high quality and enduring relationships between the NSPCC and those with the capacity to make transformational gifts.

The Philanthropy team has an annual income target of c£3.3m within the Major Donors department’s target of c£9m; and we aim to significantly increase this over the coming years.

An ideal position for an energetic deal-maker, you will be responsible for stewarding some of the NSPCC’s most significant existing supporters but a key focus will be on generating new prospects, building lasting relationships and making asks for substantial financial gifts. This post involves close collaboration with a broad range of internal NSPCC colleagues and external stakeholders.

You will…

• have great people skills and the personal stature to be able to operate effectively within our audience stream. 
• be an excellent relationships manager, highly proactive, self-motivated and organised. 
• have the personal resilience necessary to work in a new business environment.
• be comfortable with targets and able to deal with competing priorities.
• enjoy working collaboratively with other colleagues, teams and departments. 
• have first class written skills, able to tell our story in a compelling way
• have the ability and willingness to travel independently throughout the region.

Above all, you will relish the task of getting out, identifying new prospects and making the ask.

Experience of working with high value donors (particularly individuals) or clients, and proven success in generating new business and achieving financial targets are highly desirable.

This type of role rarely becomes available outside London, so this is a great opportunity for the right candidate, for whom we will consider flexible working arrangements.
