BACKGROUND
Magic Breakfast’s mission is to end child morning hunger in the UK now and for good. The latest research suggests that 2.7 million children are at risk of hunger, meaning one in five children don’t have enough to eat. When a child is too hungry to learn, they struggle to concentrate, absorb information, and manage their emotions, causing them to fall behind in their studies.
Magic Breakfast provides a nutritious breakfast to over 350,000 children and young people every school day. We work with schools in areas of high disadvantage, helping staff target children most in need without barrier or stigma.

Help grow local philanthropy across Kent and Medway
Kent Community Foundation believes in a Kent and Medway where every community has the opportunity to thrive.
For 25 years we have connected generous people with grassroots organisations creating change in their communities. By working with individuals, families, businesses and professional advisers, we help ensure funding reaches the local charities and community groups that need it most.
As we celebrate our 25th anniversary and look ahead to the future, we are seeking a Co-Head of Development to help grow philanthropy across the county.
Working in partnership with an existing Co-Head of Development, this role will focus particularly on developing new philanthropic relationships and opportunities - building partnerships with professional advisers, corporates and prospective donors to support communities across Kent and Medway.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who is highly skilled at building trusted relationships, developing partnerships and connecting people with issues that matter. This role would particularly suit someone who enjoys developing new partnerships and opportunities rather than managing established fundraising programmes.
About Kent Community Foundation
Kent Community Foundation is a grant-making charitable foundation dedicated to funding and strengthening communities across Kent and Medway.
We partner with individuals, families, businesses, trusts and foundations to fund grassroots organisations creating positive change across the county.
Since our founding in 2001 we have distributed more than £60 million to thousands of charities and community groups, supporting projects that tackle local challenges and help communities thrive.
Our work is guided by three core values:
Community first
Listening to and supporting grassroots organisations who know their communities best.
Partnership
Working collaboratively with donors, charities and partners to create lasting change.
Purposeful giving
Ensuring funding reaches where it is needed most and creates meaningful impact.
Together, we are helping communities across Kent and Medway thrive now and in the future.
The Role:
This is a strategic and outward-facing leadership role focused on growing philanthropic income.
Working closely with the Chief Executive and your Co-Head of Development, you will help drive our fundraising strategy and develop a strong pipeline of new funding opportunities, with a particular focus on professional adviser engagement.
You will also play a key role in developing our approach to legacy giving, helping to build long-term relationships and position Kent Community Foundation as a trusted partner for planned giving.
Key responsibilities include:
- Identifying and developing new philanthropic opportunities across Kent and Medway
- Building relationships with professional advisers, including solicitors, accountants and wealth managers
- Developing and stewarding relationships with professional advisors involved in estate planning, to strengthen the pipeline of potential legacy pledgers and legacy income
- Developing corporate partnerships with businesses
- Growing and managing a pipeline of prospective donors and fundholders
- Representing Kent Community Foundation across networks, events and professional forums
- Developing proposals and conversations that lead to new charitable funds, legacy pledges, and long-term partnerships
- Contributing to the strategic leadership of the Foundation’s development work
We are looking for someone who enjoys connecting people with purpose and who is motivated by the opportunity to grow philanthropy locally.
You might currently work in philanthropy, partnership development, professional adviser engagement, or business development.
We would also welcome applications from candidates working in professional services, financial services or other relationship-led roles who are interested in applying their skills to growing local philanthropy. We are looking for someone who is:
- A confident relationship builder and natural networker
- Strategic and proactive in developing opportunities
- Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and philanthropists
- Motivated by supporting communities across Kent and Medway
Why Join Us?
- Be part of an organisation making a real difference across Kent and Medway
- Work with generous donors and partners to support local communities
- Join a friendly and collaborative team
- Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
- Help shape the future of philanthropy in Kent

At Humanists UK, our dream is of a tolerant world where rational thinking and kindness prevail. Our dedicated staff of 35 and hundreds of volunteers work hard to achieve this aim and we now have a vacancy for a Head of Communications & Marketing.
Is this the right position for you?
We’re looking for a Head of Communications & Marketing to advance greater public understanding of humanism by reaching new and growing audiences. The role also comes with strategic responsibility for improving brand awareness and driving sales for key products and brands, including Humanist Ceremonies (non-religious weddings, funerals, and naming ceremonies), the award-winning New Humanist magazine (est. 1885), podcasts, books, and a nationwide programme of prestige events and festivals.
This is a senior role with real scope. You will lead our communications team across print, digital, events, and marketing, and make sure what we put out is clear, compelling, consistent, and rooted in our purpose. As well as marketing, this role has responsibility for content, including for our website and social media channels, making sure these are updated with high-quality, accessible, engaging, and well-optimised educational and brand-building materials pitched at a range of target audiences.
This role is about leadership as much as delivery. You’ll be responsible for maintaining a clear organisational communications grid, and for working closely with colleagues across the organisation, particularly the Head of Press & Campaign Communications and the Head of Fundraising, to make sure our messaging, brand, and tone are joined up and effective.
You will be at your best when working to ambitious but achievable KPIs and making strategic decisions on the basis of evidence, including open and clickthrough rates, A/B testing, site behaviour and visit numbers, sales conversions, surveys, and feedback.
If you are ready to take a step up in your career this role could be a perfect opportunity. If you don't have experience at this level already you will need to be able to showcase to us – both at interview, and in your application – that you have significant experience of decision-making for communications or marketing in a complex organisation. You’ll also need to convince us of your ability to balance leading on strategy with hands-on problem-solving. You’ll be comfortable setting priorities, making judgement calls, and giving clear direction to your direct reports, while also collaborating well across departments and supporting less experienced staff to do their best work. We’re looking for someone who can think long-term, but who also cares about the details and the day-to-day reality of getting communications right.
Head to our website and apply there. Applications must be submitted by 17:00 14 April, 2026.
Shortlisting and interviews
Candidates short-listed for interview will be notified by 17:00 on 22 April 2026. Interviews for shortlisted candidates will be held during the week of 27 April 2026 at our offices at 3 Waterhouse Square, London, EC1N 2SW.
If you have any questions about the post, please feel free to contact the hiring manager, Liam Whitton, by email - he will be very happy to talk more about the role with you.
If there is anything that would help you bring your best self to the interview, please let us know.
