About The Role
Following an internal promotion within the team, we’re looking for a Corporate Partnerships Manager to take ownership of a portfolio of high profile national corporate partners, including our award-winning football fundraising campaign with Premier League clubs, and develop further the relationships, plans and opportunities that can grow their support for the Royal British Legion year after year. This is an account management role with real scope to shape what a partnership can become: from developing new fundraising and engagement opportunities and negotiating agreements, to creating strong proposals and presentations for senior stakeholders. You’ll be comfortable managing significant income targets and budgets, spotting opportunities within existing relationships and turning them into well thought-through, commercially sound plans.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

You’ll be joining the Corporate, Trusts & Philanthropy team at an exciting time when we’re looking to develop our corporate partnerships and integrate seamlessly with our High Value giving colleagues. You’ll work closely with the Corporate Partnerships Lead, New Business colleagues and teams across Fundraising, bringing together the right people to deliver campaigns, fundraising activity and wider partner benefits. You’ll also have responsibility for a Corporate Partnerships Officer, providing clear direction and support while helping to build a team that delivers a high standard of partner management. The role will suit someone who enjoys being hands-on, can keep multiple partnerships moving at once and knows how to balance the needs of a corporate partner with the priorities of a charity.

We’re looking for someone with solid experience managing partnerships or clients in a fundraising or commercial environment, who is confident negotiating agreements, handling substantial budgets and presenting ideas to people at all levels. You’ll be a natural relationship builder, but just as importantly, you’ll be organised, commercially aware and able to look at the detail as well as the bigger picture. You’ll know how to turn a good relationship into a strong partnership, communicate clearly when priorities compete and use insight and evidence to make decisions. Experience of corporate fundraising is valuable, but we’re particularly interested in people who can demonstrate the judgement, creativity and account management skills to develop high-value relationships and deliver results.

You will be contracted to our Haig House hub with a minimum expectation of two days per week working in person at the hub and flexibility for working remotely/at home when not on site.

Employee benefits include -

- 28 day’s paid holiday (plus bank holidays) increasing with service, with optional annual leave purchase scheme of up to 5 working days
- Enhanced paid maternity, paternity and adoption leave
- Generous pension scheme with employer contributions ranging from 6% to 14%, depending on length of service
- Range of flexible working options may be available, depending on your role
- Employee Assistance Programme providing confidential counselling, financial and legal advice
- Range of courses delivered by learning specialists to support your development goals and objectives
- Opportunities to volunteer
- Travel loans, Cycle to Work, and more!

Since 1892, Birmingham Dogs Home has been rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs across the West Midlands. Each year, thousands of dogs receive the second chance they deserve because of the generosity of our supporters.

As we prepare to celebrate our 135th anniversary, we're investing in our income generation team and are now looking for an experienced Community Fundraiser to help shape the next stage of its development.

You will take the lead role in growing community fundraising across the West Midlands, building strong relationships with local groups, schools, clubs, small businesses and individuals. You will inspire people to fundraise in their own communities by developing new opportunities and will help to turn local support into sustainable income for Birmingham Dogs Home.

Working closely with the Events & Community Fundraising Manager, you will develop our community fundraising programme, enhance our volunteer led supporter base and play a key role in developing one of our charity's key income streams.

About You

We're looking for someone with previous community fundraising experience, or relevant experience in a similar relationship-building or business development role. You will be confident in developing new relationships, identifying opportunities and turning ideas into successful fundraising activity.

You will be organised, self-motivated and comfortable managing a varied workload across a wide geographical area. You will enjoy building lasting relationships with supporters and local organisations, providing the encouragement and practical support they need to raise funds successfully.

You will understand what makes a positive supporter experience and know how thoughtful stewardship can turn a one-off donation into long-term support. Above all, you will be a confident ambassador for Birmingham Dogs Home, with the ability to inspire others to support dogs in need across our region.

In return, we offer:

• Two weeks' free dog boarding
• 25% discount on veterinary treatment
• Free on-site parking
• Life assurance
• BHSF Health Plan
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Pension contribution
• Ongoing CPD and development opportunities

If you're looking for a role where you can make a genuine difference, we'd love to hear from you.

Help shape the future of fundraising at Psoriasis UK.

This is a new role and a rare opportunity to become Psoriasis UK’s first specialist fundraiser.

We have strong foundations, a clear mission and an established community of supporters.  We are now looking for an experienced fundraiser to help us broaden and grow our fundraising portfolio, develop new income opportunities and build lasting relationships with supporters.

As Fundraising Manager, you will lead and develop fundraising across the charity, with particular responsibility for individual giving, community fundraising, legacy and in-memoriam giving, alongside developing other opportunities for voluntary income.

You will combine strategic thinking with hands-on delivery.  You might be developing a fundraising plan one day, writing an appeal or funding application the next, and supporting a community fundraiser or building a new partnership after that.  You will work closely with colleagues across Psoriasis UK and with senior leadership to ensure fundraising supports our strategic priorities – Supporting People, Driving Research and Advancing Care – and generates sustainable income for our work.

This is an exciting time to join Psoriasis UK as we complete our transition from the Psoriasis Association and look ahead to the next stage of our development.  You will join a small, committed team where you will have the autonomy to make the role your own and the opportunity to bring fresh ideas, expertise and energy to our fundraising.

About you

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser with a proven track record of generating income from a range of sources.  You will be comfortable balancing a varied portfolio and moving between strategic planning and practical delivery.

You will have experience of developing fundraising activity, balancing strong relationships with supporters and partners, and using data and performance measures to inform your work.  Experience in individual giving and / or legacy fundraising is particularly relevant, alongside an understanding of community fundraising and other voluntary income streams. 

You will be an excellent communicator and relationship builder, with the confidence to work independently while collaborating effectively across a small team.  You will also bring empathy and sensitivity when working with supporters and families, particularly in relation to legacy and in-memoriam giving.

You don’t need to have experience in every area of fundraising.  We are particularly interested in someone with the breadth, initiative and enthusiasm to develop a varied portfolio and help shape fundraising for the future.
