The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (NHCM) plays a unique role in the UK as a memorial, a museum, a place of testimony and learning. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding individual into the new post of Director of Fundraising. This position is an excellent opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to play a pivotal role in a unique institution and help position us for future growth.

Set in a beautiful rural location, yet only 90 minutes from Central London, we are also the only place of Holocaust remembrance & learning in the world founded by non-Jewish people. The remarkable Smith family designed and built the Centre in 1995, creating a uniquely peaceful and contemplative ‘safe space’ including beautiful memorial rose gardens. Rapidly, they attracted not only visitors and school groups but an amazing team of Holocaust survivors for whom we became a home from home. We blossomed into an Arts Council supported museum of global creative excellence. But the Smith family ethos endures, as does our beloved family of Holocaust survivors. Their stories will always remain at the heart of our learning programmes.

Our hugely exciting redevelopment project will reinforce and sustain our mission in the face of twin challenges. First, rising anti-Jewish racism and social media which distorts the history of the world’s greatest crime against humanity. Second, we are slowly losing the Holocaust survivors who were first-hand witnesses. To offset their inevitable passing, we have created cutting-edge interactive VR and app experiences. These will future-proof Holocaust education for our whole sector. And the world-class team of designers and architects we have hired for redevelopment will enhance and grow the ecosystem they all live in.

If you’re a highly organised self-starter with a successful track-record in philanthropy fundraising, confident and able to lead a team, ideally with a good knowledge of the Jewish philanthropic community, we would love to hear from you. 

Location: Flexible with proximity to London and regular visits to NHCM, Laxton, Nottinghamshire, NG22 0PA.

2. Manage a portfolio of major donors and prospects giving, or with the potential to give, five and six figure gifts and legacies and also support key staff, Trustees and senior volunteers to engage and cultivate new and existing donors.
3. Design and deliver an effective indivdual giving and legacy programme, ensuring that our supporters feel fully engaged in our work.
4. Support the Trusts and Grants Manager and their team to meet income targets.
5. Recruit and retain a high performing fundraising team, ensuring staff feel motivated and supported and adhere to relevant HR processes.
6. Provide regular reports to the Museum Director and other senior staff, allowing them to monitor progress in fundraising and work with them to mitigate identified risks as required.
7. Be a leading authority on matters related to fundraising, providing advice on best practice and new developments within the voluntary sector, ensuring NHCM remains abreast of changes in fundraising regulatory requirements.
8. Represent NHCM externally on a wide range of matters, including acting as a representative at meetings and events when required.

About ThinkForward 

Why we exist

ThinkForward exists to empower young people to create better and brighter futures. We want them to be able to identify, realiseand shape their aspirations and be ready to make a successful transition into work.
Young people experiencing barriers such as challenging relationships, living in low-income households, or growing up in areas with a lack of access to opportunities can be confronted with hurdles. Without the right support these can lead to high risks of unemployment and long-term effects on their career and life chances.

There are more than 800,000 16-24-yearolds in the UK who aren’t at school or college, or don’t have a job or training place. Our ambition is to prevent young people becoming one of these statistics. In 2021 we will be supporting more than 1000 young people.

What we do

About ThinkForward 

Why we exist
ThinkForward exists to empower young people to create better and brighter futures. We want them to be able to identify, realiseand shape their aspirations and be ready to make a successful transition into work.
Young people experiencing barriers such as challenging relationships, living in low-income households, or growing up in areas with a lack of access to opportunities can be confronted with hurdles. Without the right support these can lead to high risks of unemployment and long-term effects on their career and life chances.
