Who we’re looking for and why join us

At Refugee Legal Support (RLS), we’re seeking a dynamic leader to become our new Fundraising Director. This pivotal role offers the opportunity to shape the future of a values-driven legal organisation that stands in solidarity with people on the move. 

Following significant growth in recent years, you’ll build on strong foundations to support the organisation’s sustainability. You’ll bring strategic vision, excellent stakeholder management skills and a collaborative approach to support the delivery of RLS’s new strategic plan. 

However this role goes beyond fundraising. You’ll also be a key member of our Management Team and work closely with our Executive Director, Legal Director and board of trustees to shape the future of the organisation. This is therefore a perfect opportunity for anyone looking to develop their senior management skills. 

This role combines strategic oversight with hands-on work, bridging urgent funding needs, long-term fundraising strategy and organisational leadership. For a leader passionate about migrant justice and equity, this is a career-defining opportunity to sustain and grow RLS’s impact while shaping its future.

About Refugee Legal Support (RLS)

Our structure

Refugee Legal Support (RLS) operates as a registered organisation in both the UK and Greece, reflecting our international scope and impact. Our governance structure includes a dedicated Board of Trustees and specialised subcommittees that provide oversight and strategic direction. We’re supported by a dynamic management team and dedicated, expert project teams who deliver our mission across Greece, the UK, and Northern France.

What we do

Refugee Legal Support is an international legal support organisation, with operations in Greece, the UK and Northern France. We’re committed to ensuring access to justice through expert legal information and advice to people seeking safety and family reunification. Our casework is a tool to tackle individual and systemic injustice in immigration systems. 

We strive to develop inclusive, sustainable and regenerative ways of working which are directly informed by those with lived migration experience. We support the global movement that fights entrenched inequalities, racism and other forms of discrimination that force people to migrate. In doing so we recognise that immigration systems are weighted against those forced to migrate and stand in opposition to hostile policies, along with all forms of violence against people compelled to migrate. 

We’re specialised and use our expertise for strategic impact. We strive to be thorough and aim for precision and accuracy in all of our work. In a fast changing environment we use our experience and expertise to move quickly to meet needs, but to also think beyond the immediate context and push for positive systemic change. 

We continuously think and challenge ourselves in how we develop our anti-racist practice and empower refugee leadership. We recognise that climate justice and migrant struggles are interconnected and view our work through this lens. 

To get a fuller picture of our financial health and impact, have a look at our most recent accounts on the charity commission website. (Refugee Legal Support, Charity number: 1191680)

Interview details

The iconic and much-loved St Martin-in-the-Fields Trust is seeking a new Director to lead its fundraising and development team into an ambitious new chapter, driving a major capital campaign while securing vital support for the full breadth of the church’s mission.

Applications close at 9 a.m. Monday 20th October

Location: Hybrid / London WC2N 4JH

Who we are

St Martin-in-the-Fields Trust exists to ensure the extraordinary work of St Martin-in-the-Fields can flourish today and for generations to come. For over 30 years, the Trust has brought together people who believe in the power of this remarkable place, where history, culture, faith and social action meet.

We raise funds and steward donations to support St Martin’s in four key areas: conserving its historic buildings; sustaining its world-class music programme; expanding opportunities for education and creativity; and enabling the church’s mission, ministry, and outreach to people experiencing homelessness and vulnerability.

Fundraising is at the heart of what we do. Every gift entrusted to us helps St Martin’s remain open, welcoming, and transformative, a beacon of compassion, creativity, and community at the heart of London and far beyond.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking a Director who will bring energy, vision, and ambition to lead St Martin-in-the-Fields Trust into its next chapter. This is a role for an exceptional fundraiser: someone who can inspire generosity, build deep and lasting relationships, and turn passion for St Martin’s mission into transformative support.

You will be an accomplished high-value fundraiser with experience in engaging high-net-worth individuals, trusts, and foundations at the highest level. Strategic yet hands-on, you’ll thrive on being out in front: opening doors, forging connections, and stewarding donors with imagination and care.

Collaboration will be central to your approach. You will work closely with colleagues at St Martin-in-the-Fields, aligning the Trust’s priorities with the church’s vision and ensuring that fundraising supports the full breadth of its mission, from heritage and music to education, ministry and social action.

You will also be a natural leader, eager to mentor and nurture talent within a small, dedicated team. Experience of capital or transformational fundraising projects will be an advantage, as the Trust prepares for an ambitious period of growth and opportunity.

This is more than a fundraising role. It is a chance to help sustain one of London’s most iconic and inspiring institutions, ensuring that St Martin-in-the-Fields continues to shine as a beacon of compassion, creativity, and community for generations to come.
