We look at the whole picture for each individual and family to get the right help at the right time to make families everywhere safe and well.

Together we can end domestic abuse. Forever. For everyone.

Fundraising Officer, Peterborough Cathedral — £32,000

Help write the next chapter for one of England's great cathedrals. No fundraising background? Bring your relationship-building skills, we'll teach you the rest.

Peterborough Cathedral is at a genuinely exciting turning point. We're delivering an ambitious Strategic Review and Masterplan, and moving fundraising away from reactive, crisis-driven appeals towards something more strategic and sustainable, built on real relationships, better systems and disciplined stewardship. This role sits right at the heart of that shift, and whoever joins us now will help shape how it's done for years to come.

You don't need to have worked in fundraising before. We're looking for someone who knows how to build trust and manage relationships, whether that's come from sales, account management, hospitality, events, customer service, education, local government or anywhere else people-focused. If you can communicate clearly, stay organised under competing priorities, and genuinely care about doing right by the people you work with, we can teach you the fundraising craft. Full training, a structured induction and regular one-to-one support from our Head of Fundraising are all part of the package.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Looking after our donors, helping deliver our Stewardship Plan so supporters feel valued and connected, managing day-to-day donor communications, keeping our CRM in good shape, and supporting legacy and planned-giving work.
• Helping us win grants, with full training and support, you'll help prepare applications to funders like the National Lottery Heritage Fund, Historic England and the Cathedral Sustainability Fund, research new opportunities, and help build compelling cases for support.
• Building corporate and civic relationships, connecting the Cathedral with businesses and partners across the city and beyond.
• Working across the whole Cathedral community, from Finance and Marketing to Visitor Experience, Music, Learning and Worship, because fundraising here isn't a siloed function, it's woven into everything we do.

We know brilliant fundraisers come from all kinds of backgrounds, so if you don't tick every box on the person spec, we'd still love to hear from you. What matters most is your attitude, your communication skills and your willingness to learn, and a sympathy with the Cathedral's Christian ethos and values.

In return, you'll get:

• £32,000 salary, plus enrolment in the Cathedral pension scheme (post-probation)
• 37.5 hours a week on a flexible working pattern
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
• A structured induction and training plan, with regular one-to-one support from the Head of Fundraising
• A genuinely rare chance to build a fundraising career inside a 900-year-old institution during a period of real, tangible change

If that sounds like the kind of role where your people skills could do something meaningful — get in touch.

LCH Charity is one of the East Midlands' fastest-growing children's charities.

In just five years, we have grown from an annual income of £70,000 to a forecast £1.2 million by August 2027. We have expanded our reach across the East Midlands, built strong partnerships with schools, businesses and communities, and supported tens of thousands of children and families experiencing poverty.

Our growth has been driven by innovation, ambition and a relentless focus on meeting the needs of children and young people. Through close collaboration with our school partners, we deliver practical support where it is needed most, helping children to thrive regardless of their circumstances.

While our impact within schools continues to grow, we know there is still enormous potential ahead. Awareness of our work beyond the education sector remains relatively low, and the opportunity to engage businesses, philanthropists, individual supporters, trusts and foundations across the region is significant.

We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Fundraising and Communications to help unlock that potential and lead the next phase of our journey.

The Opportunity

This is not a role focused on maintaining the status quo.

This is an opportunity to build on a proven success story and help shape the future of a charity with ambitious plans for growth.

This is a genuinely exciting opportunity that offers the freedom to be creative and ambitious, with the autonomy to shape, lead and deliver your own strategy.

Reporting directly to the CEO and serving as a member of the growing Executive Leadership Team, you will lead the creation, development and delivery of an ambitious fundraising and communications strategy that diversifies income, elevates our profile and strengthens our reputation across the East Midlands.

You will inherit an organisation with strong foundations, a compelling story and a highly successful fundraising model. Our flagship School Colour Dash programme currently generates approximately 70% of our income and has become a powerful platform for both fundraising and engagement.

The challenge, and opportunity, is clear.

We are looking for a dynamic and entrepreneurial leader who can develop sustainable income streams capable of matching, and ultimately exceeding, the success of our flagship event.

This is a rare opportunity to help create the next £1 million of income growth.

About the Role

As Director of Fundraising and Communications, you will:

• Lead the creation, development and delivery of a bold and ambitious fundraising and communications strategy.
• Diversify income across corporate partnerships, major donors, trusts and foundations, community fundraising, individual giving and philanthropy.
• Develop compelling propositions that inspire investment in our mission.
• Increase awareness, visibility and understanding of LCH Charity across the East Midlands.
• Strengthen and protect the charity's brand and reputation.
• Build strategic relationships with senior business leaders, philanthropists, partners and stakeholders.
• Identify and develop innovative new income opportunities.
• Lead and inspire a talented, committed and growing fundraising and communications team.
• Use insight, data and market intelligence to drive decision-making and growth.
• Act as a passionate ambassador and advocate for children, young people and families.
• Use systems to increase engagement across all supporters.
• Contribute to organisational leadership and strategic development as a member of the Executive Leadership Team.

Who We Are Looking For

We are seeking an ambitious, strategic and inspirational leader with a proven ability to deliver significant growth.

You will be someone who combines vision with action, enjoys building relationships, and thrives in environments where there is genuine opportunity to innovate and make a lasting impact.

You will bring:

• A successful track record of securing substantial fundraising growth.
• Experience working across a range of income streams, including corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, philanthropy and individual giving.
• Strong commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset.
• Exceptional communication, influencing and relationship-building skills.
• Experience of developing successful communications, marketing or brand strategies.
• Strong leadership experience and the ability to motivate and develop teams.
• The confidence to identify new opportunities and convert them into sustainable income.
• A genuine passion for improving outcomes for children, young people and families.

Most importantly, you will be excited by the opportunity to take an already successful charity to the next level.

Why Join LCH Charity?

This is a unique opportunity to join a charity that has already demonstrated what can be achieved through ambition, innovation and determination.

Over the last four years, we have transformed our income from £70,000 to a forecast £1.2 million, expanded our reach across the East Midlands and built a model that is changing lives every day.

Yet we believe we are only at the beginning of our journey.

We are looking for a leader who shares our ambition, who sees opportunity rather than limitation, and who wants to play a defining role in shaping the future of a growing and impactful organisation.

What Success Will Look Like

In this role, you will:

• Build income streams capable of matching the success of our flagship School Colour Dash programme.
• Secure transformational corporate, philanthropic and strategic partnerships.
