Fundraising & Corporate Partnerships Manager
MCKS Charitable Foundation UK
Full Time | Hybrid | National Role
Salary: £40,000 - £45,000
Help Us Build the Next Phase of Growth
MCKS Charitable Foundation UK is an ambitious and rapidly growing charity supporting schools and communities across the UK through school pantry programmes, breakfast clubs and wider wellbeing initiatives that help children and families experiencing food insecurity.
We currently support around 180 schools nationally, with a long-term vision to expand to 500 schools and beyond.
As part of this exciting growth phase, we are investing in two of the charity’s first full-time paid roles to help build the next stage of MCKS’ fundraising, partnerships, impact and operational infrastructure.
The Corporate Partnerships & Fundraising Manager will work very closely alongside our Schools, Community & Impact Manager, with both roles playing a key part in helping shape the future growth of the charity.
Together, these roles will help strengthen supporter engagement, develop partnerships, improve impact reporting, increase fundraising income and expand the charity’s national reach.
This is a genuinely hands-on opportunity to help build something meaningful from the ground up. Whilst significant growth and development is already underway, the charity is still evolving its infrastructure, systems and processes. We are therefore looking for someone who enjoys working within a growing environment and is excited by the opportunity to help shape and build new ways of working.
This is not a role for someone who only wants to sit behind strategy documents.
We are looking for someone who can think strategically whilst also being willing to roll their sleeves up and deliver — someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, driving activity forward and helping turn ideas into tangible results.
About the Role
Working closely with the charity’s leadership, trustees and Schools, Community & Impact Manager, you will help develop and deliver a diversified fundraising and partnerships strategy that supports the charity’s ambitious growth plans.
This is a varied, fast-paced and hands-on role where you will focus on developing corporate partnerships, securing fundraising income, supporting campaigns and events, and helping strengthen the charity’s fundraising infrastructure for future growth.
Alongside longer-term relationship building, we are keen to see visible fundraising activity, momentum and new opportunities generated within the first year.
We are looking for someone who enjoys making things happen — someone who is proactive, delivery-focused and comfortable balancing strategic thinking with practical implementation within a growing charity environment.
As the charity continues to evolve, this role will also contribute towards shaping systems, processes, partnership approaches and supporter engagement activity from the ground up.

About You
We are looking for someone who is:
Experience within the charity sector is welcome but not essential if you have strong partnership development or fundraising experience.
Most importantly, we are looking for someone with energy, initiative and the ability to turn ideas into action.
Why This Role Matters
MCKS Charitable Foundation currently supports around 180 schools across the UK through its school pantry programmes and breakfast clubs.
Through strategic partnerships, fundraising and community engagement, this role will help expand that support to 500+ schools nationally, helping thousands more children and families access essential food support through their schools.
This role will play a direct part in helping the charity strengthen its long-term sustainability, fundraising infrastructure and national reach.
In your first year, the focus will be on creating fundraising momentum, building a strong pipeline of opportunities and securing new income through corporate partnerships, trusts, fundraising initiatives and supporter engagement activity.
What Success Looks Like
Success in this role will involve bringing energy, momentum and proactive delivery into the charity’s fundraising activity from the outset.
You will be comfortable taking ownership of opportunities, building relationships, identifying new income streams and helping turn ideas into tangible fundraising activity and partnerships.
Alongside helping develop longer-term fundraising infrastructure and partnerships, we are looking for someone who enjoys making things happen and delivering visible progress within a growing charity environment.
This role would suit someone who enjoys building relationships, creating opportunities, working collaboratively and seeing the direct impact of their work on schools, children and families across the UK.
Why Join MCKS?
This is an opportunity to join a charity at a genuinely exciting stage of growth and help shape its future direction.
You will be joining at a pivotal time as MCKS invests in building its fundraising, partnership and impact infrastructure to support long-term national growth.
This role offers the opportunity to:

Head of Customer Experience and Service Innovation
At CAP, we celebrate diversity and strive to build an inclusive workforce that reflects the diverse communities we serve. We warmly welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds. We particularly encourage applications from Global Majority/UK Minority Ethnic candidates, as these groups are currently underrepresented within our wider workforce. We are committed to creating an environment where every individual can thrive and feel they belong.
Everything we do is rooted in our values. First and foremost, we are Christ-centred. The work that we do is guided by faith and the belief that everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and God’s love.
We are bold in fearlessly putting that faith into action to help others and challenge injustice, while also seeking to be compassionate in the way that we want to understand others and offer them meaningful care. We are collaborative in our approach, making time to learn from others and work together to take on UK poverty. And finally, we prioritise being joyful in the face of challenges, because our faith gives us confidence that change is truly possible.
Context:
Our vision at CAP is to see Transformed Lives, Thriving Churches, and an End to UK Poverty. Our core purpose is to inspire and equip churches across the UK to help people out of debt and poverty, and see them become followers of Jesus.
CAP is the catalyst to a church-based movement against poverty, partnering with churches across the 4 nations of the UK. Our products and services equip and inspire nearly 3000 local CAP workers and volunteers in their mission to come alongside those that are in financial crisis or vulnerability to bring practical help and the good news of Jesus.. CAP stands with the local church in its mission to its community. Currently these products include Debt Help, Job Clubs, Life Skills and Money Coaching and it is the development of these offerings that form the core focus of the role.
These service lines have been built at different times by different people and sit quite separately. Today we have a clear view of our target client, a new set of models for how we partner with churches and so we want to architect now are the customer journeys and experiences that draw these threads together.
Purpose:
This role of Head of Customer Experience (CX) and Service Innovation reports to the Chief Agility Officer, and is the chief service architect of the CAP church-based movement’s ecosystem.

The role is responsible for balancing safety, regulation and theology with flexibility and innovation, enabling a national movement to grow at scale.

Innovation: Deconstruct complex services into modular components. Ensure the foundation is robust and regulated (FCA/Safeguarding), while allowing churches to adapt services to their unique community context.
Movement-Led CX: Focus on Partner Effort. Designing digital and physical journeys that make it significantly easier for a church to join, launch, and sustain a CAP ministry.

Productisation of Onboarding: Partner with the wider movement to turn the onboarding process into a high-quality product that inspires and equips without lag and reduces pain points.

Modular Learning: Ensure all training and coaching materials are bite-sized, searchable, and easily swappable, reflecting the diverse voices of the UK-wide movement.
Impact-Led Design
Embedded Insight: Work with the Head of Impact to bake measurement frameworks into service design. Ensure that impact data is a real-time byproduct of the service, not an additional task for the church.
Data Completeness at Source: Work with the Head of Impact to increase the percentage of impact data points (as defined by the the impact framework) captured automatically during the natural flow of service delivery (reducing the need for manual surveys or back-office data entry).
Enabling the Impact Community of Practice: Work with the Head of Impact to ensure Insight and Evidence content is accurately and efficiently captured through good design.

Culture:
Working at CAP is more than a job; it’s a commitment to a community and movement. We believe that a healthy culture is the fuel for our mission. This means we prioritise spiritual rhythms in our week—including dedicated time for morning prayer, worship, and team huddles. We are a 'joy-filled' office, which means we celebrate every win, from a client becoming debt-free to a colleague’s personal milestone. We expect our team to be 'all in'—not just in their tasks, but in contributing to a supportive, laughter-filled, and prayerful environment.
CAP is a mission-driven, fast-paced, and deeply relational environment. You will find a culture that prioritises:
Spiritual Rhythms: We start our days with prayer and worship, staying connected to our 'Why.'
Celebration: We are 'Debt-Free' obsessed. We ring bells, share stories, and celebrate transformation.
Collaborative Bravery: We tackle big problems (like UK poverty) by working across teams and daring to try new things.
Inclusive Belonging: We want you to bring your whole self to work, knowing you are valued for who God made you to be.
Other responsibilities include:
Being willing to pray with staff and fully engaged with our Christ-centred culture.
Encouraging friends, family and other contacts to support the charity through the Life Changer programme and other fundraising initiatives.
Attending annual CAP staff conferences.
Completing all compulsory CAP training within given timescales.
