Prospectus is excited to be partnering with the Family Holiday Charity to recruit their new Individual Giving Fundraising Manager. Family Holiday Charity exist to help families get time away together, often for the first time ever. They find out what each family needs, taking care of all the details and are focused on the needs of each specific family.

A newly created role, the Individual Giving Fundraising Manager will primarily be responsible for developing the individual giving income streams to meet budget targets. You will plan and deliver activity to drive income from a range of channels including digital and direct mail and will ensure there are excellent support experiences to drive deeper engagement for new and existing supporters. Reporting to the Director of Income and Engagement and working within a small and committed fundraising team, you will also help identify and establish new potential sources of income for the charity, building cases for investment along the way.

The selected candidate will ideally have individual giving fundraising experience which would be gained from roles within individual giving, community fundraising, or a broader supporter experience role. You will have experience of managing and setting budgets as well as managing and segmenting donor data. You will have a good understanding too of regulatory frameworks which apply to fundraising and an acute understanding - or at least interest - in excellent supporter experiences.

If you have any disability and would like assistance with completing an application then please contact Ryan Burdock at Prospectus .

If you feel you meet some of the criteria but not all, we really hope you'll enquire and learn more. Prospectus can advise and support on each part of the role and hopefully your application, so we look forward to hearing from you.

In order to apply please submit your CV in the first instance and begin to prepare your supporting statement. Should your experience be suitable, we will send you the full job description and will arrange for a call and/or meeting to brief you on the role. You'll then have all the information you need to formally apply. We are looking forward to speaking with you soon.
