Crisis is the national charity for people experiencing homelessness. We have embarked on our 10-year strategy for ending homelessness. We know it is not inevitable. We know together we can end it.
Location: Based in our London office, E1, with regular travel (at least four times per month) across London and the UK to meet with donors and senior stakeholders. Flexible homeworking options available in line with Crisis’ Hybrid Working Policy.
Hours: 35 hours per week, we are open to a range working arrangements i.e. part-time, minimum of 28 hours per week or compressed hours.
About the role
Are you an exceptional relationship-builder with a passion for driving social change? Crisis is seeking a dynamic and strategic Principal Gifts Lead to secure transformational philanthropic support from individuals and funders capable of giving £1 million and above. This pivotal role will manage a high-value portfolio, forging deep, long-term partnerships that will unlock the resources needed to end homelessness for good. You will play a leading role in advancing our £20m Housing Supply campaign — an ambitious initiative at the heart of Crisis’ strategy to deliver genuinely affordable homes.
As a visible and influential ambassador for Crisis, you will work closely with senior stakeholders, Trustees, and volunteers to identify and inspire new opportunities for giving at the highest level. This is more than a fundraising role — it’s about building a movement of transformational support that will change lives and help shape a future free from homelessness.
About you
You will bring a strong track record of securing seven-figure philanthropic gifts, with proven success in developing new high-value relationships using a thoughtful, relationship-led approach. Your experience working with ultra-high-net-worth individuals, foundations, and senior stakeholders will be matched by your deep understanding of donor motivations and philanthropic psychology. You will be confident navigating complex organisations, able to build internal consensus, and experienced in managing engagement through senior volunteers or development boards. Your excellent interpersonal and influencing skills will ensure you thrive in high-level conversations and build long-lasting, meaningful partnerships.
Strategic and creative in your thinking, you’ll have a sharp eye for opportunities and the ability to develop compelling donor propositions that align with Crisis’ vision and priorities. You will be a strong communicator — both in writing and in person — with the credibility to engage and inspire some of our most significant supporters. With an entrepreneurial mindset, you’ll be proactive, adaptable, and eager to learn in a fast-paced, ambitious environment.

However, if you feel you have relevant examples to answer the screening questions, we encourage you to apply.
We believe diversity is a strength, and our aim is to make sure that Crisis truly reflects the communities we serve. We are actively working towards our organisation being a place where everyone can thrive and make their best contribution to our mission of ending homelessness for good. We know that the more perspectives, voices, and experiences we can bring to this work, the better. We particularly welcome applications from people who have lived experience of homelessness, and people from all marginalised groups, communities, and backgrounds.
Working at Crisis
Our values, Bold, Impactful, Collaborative and Equitable, are at the heart of everything we do as we continue in our mission to end homelessness.
Our staff, members and volunteers are vital to getting the right government policies in place, providing breakthrough services, and building a supportive community. We’ll lead by example to nurture a positive and ambitious workplace guided by ending homelessness.
