Job Purpose:
This is a new role to transform our current “Supporter Care” team into one that leads our Individual Giving programme. At present the team is focused on thanking donors for gifts to our charity and supporters for undertaking challenges and events as well as organising our lab tours and tiles programme. The introduction of a major automation project in the charity will reduce this team’s workload whilst at the same time decreasing the amount of time taken to thank donors and supporters. Once that project is fully implemented we want this team to expand its remit to include a wider programme of proactively supporting our donors and supporters throughout their journey with the charity and thus to increase the amount raised through these channels.
This job will be a challenging one with a changing focus. The initial focus is very much process-driven – bedding in the automation and getting all of our processes humming so that everyone is thanked within one working week of their donation, but once that’s done the focus needs to move to both wider care of our supporters and growth of the income channel.

· Flexible in your approach to work, embracing change and development.
Desirable:
· Experience in running a individual giving programme.
· Experience of working with members of the public, especially those who may be going through current or recent traumatic experiences.
Main duties:
· To be the owner of all thanking processes so that every supporter and donor receives an appropriate thank you withing one working week of their donation or the end of their fundraising activity.
· To embed the new processes from our automation solution, recommending changes that are required and adapting other processes to ensure the most efficient overall system for all team members involved in thanking.
· To support and develop your direct reports so that they are working efficiently and effectively and have a rewarding role at the charity. To conduct regular 1-1s with them as well as quarterly reviews and annual appraisals.
· Ensure accurate recording of all processes and outputs from the team – primarily on our CRM database.
· To ensure that our Lab Tour and Tiles process is run effectively and efficiently. This process is managed by a member of the team, but remains the responsibility of the team manager.

· To develop additional ways of valuing our supporters and donors through their journey with us (cards, phone calls etc).

Prospectus is delighted to be working with our client to recruit a North East Lincolnshire Operational Lead.
Our client helps local people take control of their town’s future, together. Across the country, people are working to make things better. They spot what’s needed, bring others with them and start creating change. But too often, they’re doing it in spite of the system, not because of it. Short-term funding kills momentum. Distant rules block action. Local people rarely get to decide what happens next.
The organisation exists to change that. We support shared local visions, connect energy and ideas, and help long-term funding flow to what matters most, as decided by the people who live there.
In North East Lincolnshire, this approach is already taking root. We are now looking for a grounded and ambitious person to help shape the next phase of the work by working closely with leaders across the town.
You’ll support a bold, shared strategy and work alongside others. As well as building trusted relationships and supporting inclusive ways of working, you will play a key role in making our operational model work in practice, so that good ideas can grow and change can last.
The successful candidate will bring experience of supporting and leading change in a place or within different communities. You’ll be confident building relationships across sectors, comfortable balancing detail and big picture thinking and committed to supporting a long-term change. A strong connection to and care for a thriving future North East Lincolnshire is essential.
This is a permanent, full-time role (four-day working week with compressed hours). The role is based in North East Lincolnshire with regular travel across the area and occasional meetings in London.
As a specialist Recruitment Practice, we are committed to building inclusive and diverse organisations, and welcome applications from all sections of the community. We invest in your journey as a candidate and are committed to supporting you in your application.
To register interest in this position, please apply with your CV only. If your profile is suitable for the role, you will be provided with full details of the position and invited for an initial conversation. Following this conversation, you will be provided the details needed to put together a full application. For the best possible candidate experience, we recommend you express your interest as early as possible.
Interviews: Early September
