For families living with childhood illness, time is everything. Right now, there are too many families coping alone with no support, no time to think, no time to make memories and no time for each other.

Head of Individual Major Gifts

Greenpeace UK

Location: London, UK

Salary: This role is positioned with a salary range of £63,756 - £70,236 pa.

Greenpeace is a movement of people who are passionate about defending the natural world from destruction.

Our vision is a world where everyone has equal access to clean air, water and energy; where the nature we love is protected, precious habitats are restored and communities are united by ambitious climate action.  To make this a reality, we transform politics, industry and society to create a greener and fairer world.  Our mission is to halve emissions and restore biodiversity by the end of this decade in a fair and equitable way.  Together we show up, we stand up, and we get things done.  And we’ll do it again tomorrow.

In the last five decades, Greenpeace has become one of the foremost environmental organisations in the world, winning victories that have put climate and nature protection on the map. Fast forward to the present day, and we have gained huge momentum. Our movement is booming, environmentalism is mainstream and the solutions are more viable than ever. We look to the future from a position of strength. Now is the time to seize it.

We’re at a pivotal point in human history to turn the tide on climate change and biodiversity loss.  In order to ensure our campaigning efforts continue to be effective and to keep up the pressure on government and businesses, we fundraise from private individuals and charitable trusts and foundations who help us continue our work.  Our high-performing Fundraising Department contributes significantly towards a Global Capital Campaign to raise EUR100M for a new ship, and there is so much more we want and must do.  We are therefore looking for two talented high-value fundraising specialists and leaders to lead key areas of our activity and ensure that we continue to sustainably grow our philanthropic income. 

As the Head of Individual Major Gifts, you will be responsible for leading, managing and developing a programme that will drive income growth from high-value individuals.  This is an opportunity to take on a successful programme to new heights through effectively managing and growing a developed portfolio of donors, as well as lead a small and dedicated team of fundraisers to transform their supporter pipelines.  As a leader within the Key Relationships and wider Fundraising team, you will identify and create opportunities for collaboration across our team, and as our UK Lead for the Global Capital Campaign, you will also play a vital role across our international network of offices. 

Success in this role will therefore require an experienced major gifts professional with a track record of securing 6-figure level gifts (or more) from individual philanthropists, and a strategic approach and enterprising mindset to achieve progress.  A skilled negotiator with gravitas and highly developed interpersonal skills, you will inspire confidence and motivate those around you to rise to the ambition of our mission.  It will be important that you have some experience of line managing others, and getting the best out of the people or teams that you’ve led.  To be a successful leader in our Key Relationships team will require resilience, adaptability, and solutions-focussed approach.

We are at a crucial point in time for both the planet and our futures.  If you are excited by the opportunity to play a significant role in turning the tide on environmental destruction and want to see a fairer, more equitable planet for all through engaging philanthropic support, please consider applying.  We’d love to hear from you.

We particularly encourage applications from people of colour, disabled people, and people who identify as working class now or in the past. This is a priority for us, as reflected in our representation targets and our approach to diversity, inclusion and anti-racism.

Don’t meet every single requirement? Research shows that women and people of colour may hesitate to apply unless they meet every area of the person specification. If you’re excited about this role but don’t meet all the criteria, we encourage you to apply – you might be exactly who we need.

The Role

We are seeking an experienced and values-driven Director of Finance  to join our Senior Management Team (SMT) and help lead the hospice as a whole. Click on redirect to recruiter to view full job details.

This is far more than a technical finance role. As a key member of the SMT, the Director of Finance will hold collective responsibility for the overall leadership, culture, performance, and strategic direction of the organisation, working collaboratively with fellow senior leaders to ensure our values shape decision-making at every level.

Alongside strategic financial leadership, the role includes senior oversight of Facilities and IT, recognising the vital role these services play in the provision of safe and effective services.  The role also operates as Company Secretary and takes responsibility for information governance.

Reporting to the Chief Executive, the Director of Finance will work closely with Trustees, senior colleagues, and external partners to ensure the hospice remains financially sustainable, well-governed, and resilient.

You will be a senior finance leader who combines professional expertise with strong interpersonal skills and a clear commitment to values-based leadership. You will bring:

• A recognised accounting qualification (ACA, ACCA, CIMA, CIPFA, or equivalent).
• Significant senior-level financial leadership experience, ideally within a charity, healthcare, public sector, or complex not-for-profit environment.
• Experience of working closely with Boards or Trustees and contributing at a strategic level.
• The ability to lead collaboratively beyond finance, with credibility and interest in areas such as Facilities and IT.
• A genuine commitment to leading with Compassion, Excellence, Integrity, Responsibility, and Collaboration.

• Generous annual leave starting at 27 days, rising to 33, plus Bank Holidays, and an opportunity to buy / sell annual leave days

We want to hire talented people and to make sure our processes don’t exclude or disadvantage people with disabilities or different needs. Please let us know what would help you apply for our role – we’re happy to be flexible with our process to help you showcase your skills and abilities. 

We guarantee an interview for candidates with disabilities who meet the essential criteria for the role. As a signatory to the Armed Forces Covenant and member of the Defence Employer Recognitions Scheme, we’re also keen to support applications from members of the Armed Forces family. If your Armed Forces-related circumstances mean that a conventional application and interview process might be difficult, let us know.

The Cathedral has a particular responsibility to safeguarding children, young people, and vulnerable adults in the Cathedral community. It shares this responsibility with the Diocese of St Albans. This work is wide‑ranging, and the Cathedral Safeguarding Officer (CSO) plays a central role in maintaining good safeguarding practice.

This part‑time role (15 hours per week) becomes vacant as the current postholder retires after four years, with time planned for handover with the person appointed to the role now. The CSO works with senior staff and the governing body to help lead policy development, training, reporting, and compliance with Church of England guidance. They report to the Canon for Mission and Pastoral Care and receive regular professional supervision from the National Safeguarding Team, with occasional networking with other CSOs.

Safeguarding is recognised as a shared leadership responsibility. The CSO meets weekly with senior clergy to review cases and will also work with the newly appointed non‑executive Safeguarding Lead on Chapter, the Cathedral’s governing body.

A core part of the role is promoting safeguarding awareness across the Cathedral community and understanding all activities involving children, young people, and vulnerable adults. The CSO provides professional advice on concerns raised, ensuring responses follow law and national policy, and works closely with diocesan and national safeguarding teams on complex cases. They also ensure appropriate support for survivors and proper management of those who pose risk.

About You

The Cathedral is seeking candidates with strong knowledge and professional experience in relation to safeguarding issues and proven experience working collaboratively in teams.

The post will require some flexibility in working patterns and will therefore require occasional weekend working and the ability to respond to urgent cases.

The successful candidate will hold a relevant professional qualification and relevant experience and expertise in child and/or adult protection.

How to apply

If you have questions about the post, please contact the Head of HR, Michelle Ovenden.  For further details including an application form and job pack please visit the Cathedral website vacancies page.

Applicants should submit a covering letter and application form (which can be downloaded from the cathedral website) to the Head of HR, Michelle Ovenden
