Who are we

FBB is one of the leading educational charities and youth brands in the UK. Established in 2014, we have undergone impressive growth in the past couple of years and are now at an exciting stage of our journey. We currently work with 1,400 students across 92 Secondary School programmes in Greater Manchester, Liverpool, Lancashire, Yorkshire, London, Kent and Essex. Alongside this, we have built strong partnerships with a host of brands such as Nike. In the next stage of our journey FBB aims to become the leading specialist charity for disengaged young people and the best place to work with young people in the UK.

Young people are at the heart of everything we do. From decisions made at Senior Leadership and our Board, to how we design activations with partners to ensure young people get the most out of them. We’re working in a system that has been designed to limit the potential of many young people, and we know that to make real change, we need to work hard and differently. FBB can be fast-paced and intensive at times, but our focus on working culture and support is prioritised to ensure staff are in a position to ‘Go Beyond’ for young people.

We place relationships at the heart of what we do. That’s not only about our work with young people, but equally important with our colleagues. We strive to do things differently at FBB.

essential.

We are looking for someone with a track record of building successful long-term relationships, regardless of which sector you have previously worked in.

Key Responsibilities:

To liaise and communicate with our network of supporters in a meaningful and timely way to deepen their relationship with FBB and increase our income from individual donors.

we retain our community of supporters and challenge event participants.

To help develop a Major Donor network and regular giving programme through a calendar of in person and virtual events.

To review and develop FBB’s use of crowdfunding platforms and new emergency donor platforms.

To develop communication materials to support FBB’s work, including our digital marketing, website copy, case studies, emails, presentations and reports.

To collaborate with colleagues to develop and build effective asks and cases for support for different donor segments based on their interests and comms preferences.

Essential skills and experience: 

• Experience building relationships with an extensive
network of individuals

• A commitment to generating opportunities that improve
the lives of young people, including non income
generating benefits such as advocacy, volunteering, and
networking

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

New role, new investment area – new opportunity! 

Hybrid working (2 days office, 3 days WAH as a typical pattern) brings you the best of both worlds!  Please call to discuss other flexibility requests. 

Now's the time for IG to shine. It’s not an area we have invested in before, so there’s lots of scope and potential. 

We’re looking for someone with experience of working across a range of Individual Giving activities, to help shape and bring alive the potential.  Potential that could help us to reach more families facing tough times who really need a holiday.

You’ll be joining a small team of functional specialists (corporate, events, trusts, content).  You will need all the usual fundraisers' traits – a sense of humour, ability to juggle tasks and deadlines to deliver, resilience and tenacity.  The ability to manage a budget (reporting, KPIs, ROI). An understanding of data and how to use it. The ability to tell a story for your audience and build a case for support. 

But you’ll also be able to exercise your creative and innovative side too - we need to develop and deliver campaigns and use media and approaches we haven’t used before for recruitment, and which we are keen to test, trial and scale based on results. 

If you have experience in digital fundraising, creating products, small charity lottery we’d love to hear more.  Also if you have used a range of recruitment approaches for acquisition – what will work for us? 

You might be looking to take your first manager role, or you might be looking for a change in what you do.  Your experience is what matters to us and how you want to bring that to life to help us shape what’s next for Family Holiday Charity.

We’re a small charity, so there’s a lot to do but it’s a fun place to be, with a great team of people who are keen for each other to succeed.  Join us?

More about the charity

We help families get time away together, often for the first time ever.

We're here for children who've never seen the sea. For teenagers who can't remember when they last saw mum smile. For parents having to choose between a day out and a new pair of school shoes. For young carers, and families facing illness, isolation, or bereavement.

Holidays open up new possibilities. There’s time to reconnect, to try new things, and to make happy memories together. Time for running, playing, climbing trees and flying kites, time for picnics and bare feet. There’s time enough to share a laugh and watch the tide come in - for buckets and spades and sandy sandwiches.

Once we find out what each family needs, we take care of all the details. That way families can take care of the most important thing - each other.

Working arrangements

We work as a hybrid team, typically spending two days a week in our London office and three at home.  We've kitted out to do this with laptops, an online phone system. Our London home is near Borough tube station - we're in the shared charity building, CAN Mezzanine.  Dangerously close to the delicious lunch options that Borough Market presents! Easily accessible from London Bridge and close to Borough Tube. 

Right now,  we are following government guidance and working at home - we'll review this guidance in the new year and may decide to interview via Zoom or Teams depending on this advice, though ideally would have final interviews face to face.  Let's see. 

Safer recruitment

As part of our commitment to safeguarding the families we’re here to help, we follow safer recruitment practices.  This means we will ask you to share details of any convictions you may have had, and we may ask you to complete other pre-employment checks. You may be required to complete a DBS check (at the charity’s expense).  We also run basic searches on social media and through search engines as part of our checking process.

We have an exciting opportunity for an Individual Giving Manager to join our team based in Gilwell Park, Chingford with Hybrid Working Options also available. You will be working on a full time basis as part of a fixed term contract until June 2022, in return, you will receive a competitive salary of £37,557.68 per annum B and F, Level 3, inclusive of OLW +Market Supplement.
