About us
Kids Matter is one of the UK’s fastest growing children’s charities.
Our vision is to see every child in need raised in a strong family. Our mission is to reduce the impact of poverty on children through community-based parenting programmes.
Research shows that group-based early intervention parenting groups are the most effective way to support children in need. We train peer facilitators in local churches - the largest voluntary body in the country - to run our affordable, accessible and highly effective parenting programmes, written by Clinical Psychologists. They come alongside parents and carers, building long-lasting community in addition to encouraging confidence and learning positive parenting skills.
We value difference and diversity, and we want our workplace to be built on shared values of equality and mutual trust, with team members representing the wide range of backgrounds and experiences that exist within the UK. We therefore actively encourage applications from people of diverse backgrounds and varied experiences, particularly those who are African, Afro-Caribbean, Asian or part of other minority ethnic communities, who have lived experience of the impact of low-income/low-support circumstances, and who are living with a disability or identify as being neurodivergent.

The Grant Manager role involves:
- Writing clear and compelling grant applications that communicate Kids Matter’s vision and impact
- Building and nurturing strong, professional relationships with grant funders through regular updates, meetings, and invitations to engage with our work.
- Working with the Head of Fundraising & Communications to forecast income and contribute to long term fundraising planning
- Working closely with programme, finance, and research and impact teams to gather accurate data, budgets, and stories
About you
Are you experienced in Grant Writing? Do you have strong relational skills? Are you a Christian with an active faith in Jesus? Do you have a passion for Kids Matter’s vision of seeing every child in need raised in a strong family?
Then we would love to hear from you!

Harris Hill are delighted to be partnering with a highly respected international charity to recruit a Head of Corporate Development.
This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a growing corporate fundraising programme within a values-led organisation making a real impact across the world. You'll combine strategic relationship management with new business development, working with corporate partners across the UK, Europe and internationally.
A real highlight of the role is the opportunity for international travel (approximately 6–7 weeks per year), with recent trips including Singapore, Japan, Dubai and across Europe.
The Role
You'll lead corporate fundraising, delivering an annual income target of around £900,000 through a broad portfolio of corporate partnerships. Unlike many charities, income comes from a diverse range of supporters rather than a handful of large six-figure donors, making strong relationship management and business development equally important.
You'll also lead a small team, use CRM data to drive fundraising activity, and work closely with senior stakeholders to maximise opportunities.
About You
We're looking for someone who:
- Has strong corporate fundraising experience.
- Enjoys both account management and winning new business.
- Is a confident relationship builder who isn't afraid to make the ask.
- Is commercially minded and solutions-focused.
- Is comfortable using fundraising data and CRM systems.
- Has experience managing or developing people.
- Is excited by working with both UK and international partners.
Why Apply?
You'll be joining an organisation with an exceptional culture, a long-standing leadership team and an ambitious fundraising function that has grown from just 3 people in 2017 to 14 today. It's a collaborative, supportive environment where people genuinely enjoy working and where you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful global impact.
How to Apply
Please submit your CV together with a supporting statement of no more than 500 words outlining your suitability for the role by 12:00pm on Tuesday 25 August 2026.
First-round interviews: Monday 7 or Tuesday 8 September 2026 (virtual)
Second-round interviews: Thursday 24 September 2026 (in person, London)

Head of Fundraising
Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Charity
£55,000-£60,000 | Full-time, hybrid | Stanmore & Central London
Every day at RNOH, lives get rebuilt; staff at the hospital treat spinal cord injuries, bone cancer, and carry out complex joint reconstruction. We are the UK's leading specialist orthopaedic hospital, and our charity exists to fund the equipment, research, and rehabilitation that push patient care beyond what the NHS alone can offer.
Now we're looking for a Head of Fundraising who wants to build something, not just manage it.
Why now
Having recently completed a full fundraising review, the groundwork is now laid for future income growth. We have mapped donor journeys and embedded KPI and ROI reporting embedded across the team. What's missing is someone to take the baton and run.
You'll join as a major campaign is moving toward launch, backed by a completed feasibility study and serious clinical sponsorship, plus an ongoing capital appeal for the hospital's Mako robotic arm. This isn't a blank page; it's a campaign ready to be brought to life by the right person.
What we're looking for
Someone who genuinely loves philanthropy fundraising, who's energised by building relationships with major donors, not just managing a team that does. Strategic enough to shape where the charity goes next; hands-on enough to be in the room making the ask.
You'll lead a small team of four, working closely with the CEO as part of the Senior Management Team, and operate in a genuinely collaborative partnership with the hospital. You'll be comfortable navigating complex internal stakeholder relationships, influencing senior colleagues, and resilience and an entrepreneurial instinct will go a long way.
What you'll need
-
A track record of personally securing major gifts and building long-term donor relationships
-
Experience developing (not just delivering) a fundraising strategy, ideally in a small team
-
A good working understanding of digital and data-led fundraising; you don't need to be the expert, just know what good looks like
-
Resilience, tenacity, and the appetite to spot and chase opportunities rather than wait for permission
Benefits include
-
33 days' annual leave, including eight bank holidays
-
Nest pension scheme 5% employer and 5% employee
-
Reduced gym membership (on site gym and swimming pool)
-
Subsidised staff restaurant
-
Occupational health. Assessment of eligibility for in-house physiotherapy
-
Free of charge shuttlebus service between the hospital and Stanmore Underground station for both staff
-
Free parking onsite
