Charity development manager jobs
The RSPCA York, Harrogate & District Branch is seeking to increase its fundraising activity in order to secure the funding neccessary to completely rebuild the York Animal Home. We are looking to bring on an experienced individual to design, launch and lead our capital campaign and raise the remaining funds needed to complete the project.
The Capital Campaign Lead will take overall responsibility for planning, leading and delivering the £5m capital appeal over the next few years. This includes developing the case for support, managing campaign phases, cultivating major donors and funders, and ensuring strong governance, reporting and stewardship throughout the campaign.
The York Animal Home was built in 1980 and no longer meets modern welfare, licensing or operational requirements. Demand for our services is rising sharply, while the complexity and scale of cases continues to grow. We are at the point where our current animal facilities do meet our needs and have been working to redevelop the site and build new modern facilities.
We have received planning permission and are in the process of finalising the designs prior to construction beginning this year.
We expect Major donors, high-net worth individuals and corporate partnerships to make up the main elements of the fundraising campaign, so are looking for individuals with a proven track record of raising large sums in these areas.

- Regular LCM and team prayer events; monthly whole of LCM team days with worship, teaching, prayer, and updates; and an annual week of prayer in January
This job description is not intended to be exclusive or exhaustive. It is an outline indication of activity and will be amended in the light of LCM’s changing needs.
Occupational requirement:
London City Mission (LCM) is an organisation committed to preaching the Christian gospel to the people of London.
The Supporter Partnerships Officer plays a key part in managing Partnerships with individual supporters for the London City Mission. It is essential that he/she must personally own, communicate and implement the aims and objectives of the Mission as he/she will be the first point of contact with supporters, including written, telephone and face to face. LCM deeply values its relationships with supporters, some of whom have been giving to and praying for the work for decades.
Many of our supporters know our staff by name because of personal conversations they have had around their personal faith and how we have responded to requests for prayer. We seek to build relationships with individuals over time and connections are often made as we share stories of personal Christian faith and how this motivates us to be a part of gospel work.
On this basis, we consider there is a prima facie case that the person appointed in this role be an evangelical Christian.
Employees are required to agree to the Mission’s Statement of Faith and Conduct.
This job description does not form part of a contract of employment.
