Purpose of Position

Located in London’s Mayfair, overlooking Green Park, the Royal Air Force Club offers first class surroundings and a ‘home from home' to its 24,000 members, predominantly serving and former officers of the RAF and Allied Air Forces and their families. Founded in 1918 and opening its doors in 1922, the Club’s charitable aim is to continue to support the Royal Air Force by preserving and fostering the esprit de corps and traditions of the RAF.

The Royal Air Force Club is a registered charity and over the past 6 months, in response to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Club has launched and executed a successful £500,000 appeal.

We are seeking a specialist fundraiser who will be instrumental in setting up an infrastructure, scoping the tools and developing the income generation strategy for corporate sponsorship, major donors and high net-worth individual givers for the short, mid and long term.  

You will have a strong track record of cultivating relationships with a wide range of supporters and stakeholders and will take ownership of the Club’s income generation strategy for corporate sponsorship and major donors, to develop and deliver a costed annual plan to meet an annual income target. 

The role would suit a highly experienced, self-motivated fundraiser with specialist knowledge and experience in the high/exclusive end of corporate income generation and major donors.   

As a specialist fundraising resource, you will be ‘hands on’ and adept at working under your own initiative, however, you will work closely with the Chief Executive and Club Manager. In addition, the Club also has a Trustee-led Fundraising and Legacies Sub-Committee in place and this individual would work alongside the Committee to help support and guide activity.

You will be joining an organisation committed to delivering outstanding provision for its members, and a staff team committed to the ethos of the Club. 

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 the RAF Club has on its membership, past, present and future. This is a new post, which will be reviewed after one year.

Our services, currently available in six hospitals, help to improve emotional, mental and physical health, reducing isolation, anxiety and stress, and increasing patient resilience.
