The University

Our University has a proud history of philanthropy stretching back to its foundation in 1900.  With a clear vision to change the lives of the people of Birmingham, Joseph Chamberlain raised the funds required to build the University from citizens and corporations based locally and around the globe. Since then philanthropy has continued to play an important role in shaping the University. Having closed the Circles of Influence Campaign in 2015, which raised £193 million, making it the largest HE fundraising campaign outside Oxbridge and London, we have chosen to launch another, Birmingham in Action.  This is the fifth largest fundraising campaign in the modern history of UK Higher Education.

The University has global reach, including several partnerships with other leading universities around the world, and is grounded in its local community, having opened the first fully comprehensive University secondary school in the country in 2015.  It is also an innovative institution, being the first University to incorporate a Medical School, the first to create a students’ union, and the first to offer a women’s hall of residence.  We are an ambitious and successful research-intensive University (one of the top 100 research-led universities globally) and have produced 11 Nobel Prize winners, including three who received their awards in 2016.  

Our student body is one of the largest and most diverse in the UK. Our students come from nearly 150 countries and our flagship outreach programmes mean that almost 25% of our student population come from disadvantaged backgrounds, one of the highest proportions in the UK.  

The Office

The Development and Alumni Relations Office (DARO) exists to support this academic and student community by engaging, inspiring, and celebrating alumni, individuals, and charitable funders who give their money, time, and networks to support the University’s strategic priorities.  The Office, which comprises nearly 60 staff across four teams, is focused on fundraising and volunteering from alumni and individuals who are passionate about our five current campaign themes: everyone getting an education; treating and preventing cancer; families fleeing war, violence and famine; young people’s mental health; and protecting our planet.

The campaign has been planned, the framework created; it is unique and hugely ambitious, and will see Birmingham become one of the leading fundraising and volunteering universities in the world.  

The Role

We are now looking for an Associate Director of Fundraising to maximise our enormous income generation potential; coach, nurture and challenge the well-established fundraising team; and deliver a bold and innovative strategy to support this exciting campaign, raising significant gifts yourself as you do.

The Scottish Fundraising Standards Panel promotes compliance with the Code of Fundraising Practice and adjudicates on fundraising complaints related to Scottish registered charities. We are starting a new chapter in the Panel’s journey and are looking to appoint a full time Marketing and Administration Assistant to support the Panel.

This challenging and exciting role involves undertaking the day-to‐day administrative and marketing duties to assist the Panel members in the work of the Panel and promotion of its activities.

We are looking for a self-starter who is resilient, persistent and driven. You will need to be a good communicator and be able to use your own initiative.

The Marketing and Administration Assistant role is hosted by the Chartered Institute of Fundraising. The Chartered Institute is an equal opportunities employer, fully committed to ensuring that the only criterion that governs matters of recruitment is merit alone.

Woman’s Trust is a registered charity based in Central London providing counselling and support services to women affected by domestic abuse.

We will consider applications for either full-time (35 hours per week) or part-time (min. 21 hours per week) hours.

As our Fundraiser, you will work remotely initially, with an option to continue some remote working longer term. Woman’s Trust’s offices at present are at Edgware Road/Paddington.

As part of the Parish Finance Team, the successful applicants for these roles will make a major contribution to the implementation of the Diocese’s commitment to Christian giving and generosity. They will work to support parishes to increase income, build a culture of giving and generosity, encourage financial efficiency, and draw in various funding streams and grants as part of a wider commitment to the Diocesan vision and sustainability.

We are looking for two individuals with an understanding of, and a commitment to, the principles and practice of Christian giving, stewardship, and generosity, with a sound working knowledge of the culture and structure of the Church of England. They must have demonstrable ability to promote and communicate ideas to encourage and inspire change.

• Grant applications

Currently the diocese has secured funding for this post for a five-year period as part of the National Giving Strategy.

Given the nature and context of the work, it is a genuine occupational requirement that the post holder should be a practicing Christian with a commitment to the mission and ministry of the Church of England and/or willingness to live out the values and spirit of the organisation.

We wish to recruit a dynamic, driven and inspiring leader to be jointly responsible (alongside the Director of Family Services) for providing strategic vision and day to day management of SNAP.  This is a key role in ensuring SNAP has the capacity to continue to provide support to our families due to its strong financial management, broad ranging fundraising activities and effective governance.

You will join our core team of 21 dedicated professionals who work alongside external specialists and a large team of volunteers to ensure our families get the support they deserve.

Who we are and what we do

We could spend days telling you how phenomenal we are but it would be best if you looked at our website to see who we are, what we do and the impact we have.

By way of a short introduction SNAP (Special Needs and Parents) is a Brentwood based organisation that supports Essex families who have children, aged 0-25, with any special need or disability. We aim to inform, encourage and support parents so that they can grow in strength and knowledge and become better equipped to give the best possible help to their children. Over the past 27 years (supporting 5523 families) we have gained an in-depth understanding of the everyday demands encountered when a child has an additional need or disability. At the heart of our work we aim to help and empower the whole family, enabling them to meet the challenges they face by providing a safe environment which offers a wide range of support and specialist services.

In these uncertain times, despite the insecurity and fearfulness of COVID-19 SNAP has found ways to remain a key point of contact and support for families. The switch to remote working enabled us to be there for our families; at the end of the phone and via zoom.  We have been able to continue to offer music therapy, yoga, parent training sessions, counselling, drama and even several virtual fundraising events during this period, whilst dealing with 3,331 Helpline calls and emails from existing and new families, proving how vital SNAP’s work is.

The role and its responsibilities

As a member of the senior leadership team you will work closely with the Board of Trustees and the Director of Family Services to nurture the culture, strategy, systems and structure within SNAP to ensure it continues to deliver outstanding services that support our families.

This is a unique role where you will have the opportunity to create and implement a forward-looking visionary strategy to support the aims and objectives of SNAP. Always looking at the bigger picture, you will be a central figure in the success of SNAP over the coming years.

• Leading the finance team in maintaining strong financial and budgetary management controls.

• Strategic management of our Fundraising and Marketing team that encompasses all corporate and community fundraising alongside our statutory and grants application team.
• Managing our HR, IT and facilities management functions to ensure best practice in all operational and administrative areas.

What can you offer SNAP?

• An inspiring leader, with a strong collaborative approach that fosters participation and “buy-in”
• An individual who has a proven track record in a senior commercial management role, preferably from a charity or a not for profit organisation
• Someone who is familiar with Charity Commission Guidance and Regulations for best practice Governance and confident in implementing these for everyday use

This post is subject to an Occupational Requirement that the post holder is a committed evangelical Christian under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

In many organisations this role is purely fundraising.  We’re looking for someone to design our supporter journeys and as importantly someone to inspire and support them across their many different journeys.  Fundraising is good, but it isn’t everything.

We want to have reached 10,000 supporters and members by 2023. We’ll work on outreach campaigns and need you to make sure new members and new enquirers are given the love and attention they need to get, and stay engaged.

Your role is to create the communications and the processes to support our supporters and members in their engagement with us. We’ve little in place right now, so this is a great time to make your mark.

ROLE

To support our supporters and ensure that they are made to feel welcome;  that they can find the information they need, can get involved in a way that suits them, are aware of the services they can access, take part and vote as members, stand or vote for Trustees, attend the AGM, are supported in reaching out to others, are acknowledged, thanked and are kept informed and inspired.   

ABOUT YOU

You enjoy writing and have an easy, relaxed style. You will be at home in the social media environment.  Alongside your great communication skills (is it wrong to hope you stammer?) you are analytical - able to see the bigger picture – keen to drill down on user journeys and set up processes capable of supporting and tracking the different paths our supporters take – whether that be fundraising, campaigns, volunteering or just kept inspired. And convert passers by into fully engaged members and supporters. 

SUPPORTER JOURNEYS

You will start by mapping the routes people (can) take to get involved – and set up systems and communications (emails, tweets, letters, thank yous, information packs) to encourage them to stay engaged and involved.

You will work with mailchimp, hootesuite and other platforms to ensure supporters are kept informed via a channel which suits them. You’ll work with our Salesforce Administrator to ensure we capture all relevant data, segment our communications and monitor impact. Don’t be afraid to rethink how we do things.  Take a look at Facebook Support Group, Twitter and Insta – how do we use these channels to convert people into members?

A portion of our supporters have been with us for up to 40 years, others are fresh in.  We’ve enquiries in from parents, from students, from those struggling at work and from rebels keen to campaign.  You will need to be systematic and structured in your approach if we are to provide consistent care for all of our supporters.

While your communications will capture and inspire, this needs to be backed up with good structured admin and planning skills.  You’ll design the pathways for fundraisers and runners – from the info packs through to the certificates and thank yous; you’ll have your sights set on high volume recruiting during International Stammering Awareness Day; have a plan for students; have the welcome email off pat.  And because you are ambitious, keen to demonstrate the value you bring and show your achievements, you’ll set up monitoring and tracking from the start.

If this is you, come and join the team.
