The Cares Family particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic people, who are under-represented in our organisation. We are an equal opportunities employer and an anti-racist organisation committed to inclusion.

The Cares Family’s mission is to help people find connection in a disconnected age. Our objectives are to reduce loneliness and isolation amongst younger and older people alike; improve people’s connection, belonging, purpose and power in a changing world; and bring people together to reduce social, generational, digital, cultural and attitudinal divides.

Over the last decade our model has grown from a tiny idea in a single place into a national leader. Combined, North London Cares (founded in 2011), South London Cares (2014), Manchester Cares (2017), Liverpool Cares (2018) and East London Cares (2019), have connected some 23,000 older and younger neighbours to share over 600,000 interactions and 140,000 hours.

Our strategy to do that is to consolidate our operations to ensure we make the biggest impact possible; to go deeper with our local intergenerational communities; and to spur a ripple effect connection across the UK with a suite of exciting new projects including The Multiplier which we started in 2021.

The Cares Family is therefore at a moment of opportunity to make an even bigger difference in the years ahead, and this is a key leadership and fundraising position that will help us to grow our income (our annual budget has grown from £0.75m to £2.5m in the last four years), impact and influence at pace.

During the pandemic, we have had an Acting Director of Development covering maternity leave. Now, as we reaffirm our strategy for the coming years, we are seeking a permanent Director of Development to help us meet our ambitious income targets in a continued time of uncertainty, to drive our income generation strategy, to lead and develop our fundraising team, to nurture key partnerships and to serve as a key figure in our Senior Leadership Team.

If that sounds like it could be you, we'd love to hear from you.
