About us
Greyhound Rescue Wales (GRW) is Wales’ leading charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming greyhounds and lurchers. Founded in 1993, we have spent more than three decades championing the welfare of sighthounds and working towards our vision: a Wales without greyhound racing, where every greyhound and lurcher has a home and receives the best possible care.
In April 2026, after 25 years of determined campaigning to improve welfare and regulation within the racing industry, legislation to ban greyhound racing in Wales was finally passed. This landmark achievement marks the beginning of a new chapter for GRW as we expand our reach and capacity across the UK to ensure every greyhound leaving the racing industry has a rescue space, medical support and rehabilitation on the journey towards their forever home.
To help us grow sustainably and strengthen our long‑term impact, we are now seeking to develop our fundraising team with the creation of a Head of Fundraising role. You will lead and work closely with the Trusts & Foundations Officer, Sponsorship & Individual Giving Officer and Community & Events Fundraiser to deliver an annual income target of £400K+.
Role
The Head of Fundraising is a senior leadership role with overall accountability for the strategic development, operational effectiveness and performance of all fundraising activity at Greyhound Rescue Wales (GRW).
The role will drive, lead and grow our fundraising strategy and has responsibility for developing diverse, sustainable income streams and building strong relationships with supporters, partners, and funders.
The role holds end‑to‑end accountability for income delivery across trusts and foundations, community and event fundraising, and sponsorship and individual giving.

- Trusts and Foundations Officer
- Community and Events Fundraising Officer
- Sponsorship & Individual Giving Officer

You’ll work closely with our campaigns team and a social media manager to adapt and enhance campaigns through media, partnerships and content. This role works across multiple channels. You don’t need to be a tactical expert in all of them, but you need to be a strong strategic thinker who can carefully consider the role of each channel and asset. You will be as comfortable setting the strategic direction as you are delivering: pitching a story, briefing a journalist, running influencer outreach.
What you’ll do:
-
Advise on and support the development of our campaigns by creating and inputting into campaign narratives and communications plans
-
Work alongside campaigners and social media manager to oversee and/or produce complementary content that builds pressure on the target: reactive posts, video, and assets timed to campaign moments

-
Build partnerships with influencers, creators, and independent activists to enhance the power and impact of our campaigns
-
Support the campaigns team to strengthen their storytelling skills and identify compelling storytelling opportunities in their partnerships, such as media hooks

-
Contribute to defining the success measures for communications, including social media KPIs, and oversee activity to meet them
-
Advise senior leadership on communications and reputational considerations, including crisis communications approach
-
Ensure consistency of messaging and tone across all public communications.
-
The WeMove Europe team works in a culture of togetherness and passion for our issues and determination to win, so from time to time, you will be expected to perform activities outside of your normal role.
Who we’re looking for:
Essential skills:
-
Storytelling: You can translate complex policy or campaign issues into compelling stories for different audiences, and generate creative news angles from unlikely material or challenging subject matter. You can write inspiring, clear, and impactful copy in English.
-
Delivery: You have experience in at least one of the following areas:
-
Media relations: Securing proactive and impactful media coverage which influenced policy or moved the needle - in other words, which has had an impact beyond raising profile or raising awareness.
-
Influencer partnerships: Building relationships and impactful collaborations with influencers, content creators or other content partners.
-
Content creation: Producing social media content which mobilised people to take action.
-
-
Audiences: You have experience of engaging new audiences through communications channels, and you are able to use audience insights to influence your approach.
-
Analysis: You are data-driven and results-oriented, eager to test, learn, and continuously improve your content and communications.
-
Collaboration: You thrive in collaborative, international teams, eager to learn from colleagues and share your own expertise.
-
Coaching and training: You can design and deliver practical training that changes how colleagues work, not just how much they know, and you enjoy building capability in others rather than holding it yourself.
Important criteria:
-
Values: You are deeply committed to systemic change in Europe, aligned with values of solidarity, sustainability, justice, and democracy. You are passionate about empowering people to realize their own power and become agents of change.
-
Languages: You are fluent in English
-
Travel: You are willing to travel within Europe when needed (at least 3 times a year)
-
Experience level: You should have five years of relevant experience for this post.
Nice to have
-
You are familiar with a digital-first campaigns model, though you don’t necessarily need to have worked in this context before.
-
Have recent experience of using video to tell complex stories and reach new audiences.
-
You don’t have to have line management experience, but it could be beneficial.
-
Knowledge of the Brussels press landscape alongside national media
-
Other European languages are an added benefit.
