Together Active is looking for their first in-house fundraising specialist. This is a unique opportunity for a thoughtful, creative and strategic Fundraising and Partnerships Lead to help shape and grow a portfolio that protects their independence and powers their long-term mission: designing out inactivity across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, by shifting the systems that shape people's lives.

If you are committed to social justice and love the challenge of translating complex, systems-focused work into clear, compelling fundraising propositions, then this one is definitely for you!

Salary: £35-40k, dependent on experience
Location: Hybrid - flexible culture, currently 2 days per week onsite in Stafford (Tues/Thurs)
Contract: Full-time (35 hours), part-time considered
Benefits: Brilliant package that speaks volumes about organisational culture… check out a fuller list below

About Together Active

Together Active is a charity working across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to make movement possible for everyone - especially where poverty, discrimination and poor health have made it most difficult. They don't run activities directly; instead, they work across systems, bringing people together, strengthening capacity, amplifying lived experience and ultimately influencing decision-makers.

About the Role

This is a strategic, relationship-led fundraising role where your work will directly strengthen organisational independence. It's all about diversifying income streams and helping to futureproof for a resilient, sustainable the long-term.

What makes this role particularly exciting is the blank canvas. You'll be building largely from scratch across trusts, corporates and individuals, with a clear and realistic remit for diversification. Together Active understands this won't happen overnight and you'll be given freedom and autonomy to do things your own way, with a rewarding mix of strategic thinking and operational, hands-on delivery.

Your first priority will be to craft a compelling case for support, before mapping the funding landscape, shaping a strategy and then engaging new funders in Together Active's long-term vision.

We'd absolutely love to hear from you if you bring:

• Experience building relationships with funders, partners or collaborators from scratch
• Comfortable and capable working across multiple stakeholders, priorities and systems
• Ability to translate complex or systems-based work into clear, credible fundraising narratives
• Strategic thinking, but also enjoy rolling your sleeves up and getting stuck in
• Strong judgement about how and when to pursue an opportunity and make the ask
• Collaborative, curious mindset and a strong commitment to social justice

You'll be working across multiple income streams as the organisation's sole fundraiser, but there is significant growth and development potential down the line.

Experience in trusts/foundations, corporate partnerships, philanthropy or community organising are all relevant and welcome - no single background is necessarily 'the right one', so please don't rule yourself out without a conversation.

How Together Active Values You

• 27.5 days annual leave + bank holidays (rising with service)
• Three additional leave days over Christmas
• Up to 8% employer pension contribution
• Cycle to work scheme
• Health plan subscription
• Counselling access
• Volunteer day
• Annual CPD allowance + extensive online learning resources
• Flexible, trust-based working
• A culture where curiosity, challenge and care are genuinely welcomed

Please send a copy of your CV or profile to Amelia Lee at Charity People as the first step.

Permanent, full-time (37.5 hours per week)

Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

Our Events and Community Fundraising team raises vital funds for Prostate Cancer UK through a wide range of activities, events and challenge events. As Community Fundraising Executive, you’ll be a key member of our sector-leading team, raising over £5 million each year from individuals organising their own fundraising events and local-level corporate partnerships.

You’ll build strong, meaningful relationships with mid and high-value supporters, providing tailored stewardship that motivates, inspires and maximises their long-term fundraising impact. Working closely with the Community Fundraising Manager and wider team, you’ll identify emerging opportunities, spot potential high-value fundraisers and help shape the growth of our community fundraising programme. In collaboration with colleagues across the charity, you’ll make sure our amazing community fundraisers feel recognised and thanked for their contributions and are celebrated across our media and digital channels.

What we want from you

You’ll bring experience in community or events fundraising, with a real understanding of what motivates people to take on their own challenges and how to give them an exceptional supporter experience. Highly organised and confident juggling a varied workload, you thrive in a fast paced environment where no two days look the same. You use insight, curiosity and good judgement to spot opportunities, identify potential high value fundraisers and make informed decisions that strengthen supporter relationships and improve the fundraiser experience.

A natural communicator, you know how to build rapport quickly, whether you’re speaking one-to-one with a fundraiser, presenting to a group or crafting warm, motivating messages that inspire action. You’ll be comfortable analysing data, tracking performance and using CRM systems to keep accurate, high-quality records and identify any trends or areas for improvement. Collaborative and proactive, you enjoy working with colleagues across teams and take pride in delivering work that reflects professionalism, empathy and attention to detail.

Above all, you care deeply about people. You’ll champion fundraisers throughout their journey with us, building relationships that grow stronger over time and supporting them as they take on new challenges year after year. You’ll bring enthusiasm, empathy and a genuine passion for nurturing lasting connections, ensuring every supporter feels valued, motivated and continually inspired to make an impact.

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.

We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

How and where we work

Colleagues attend the office at least four days per month (pro rata for part-time colleagues) to collaborate, build relationships, and support projects and decision-making. You can choose where to work the rest of the time. Travel to the office is a commute, so we pay our own travel costs.

Additional in-person attendance will be required during your first few months for induction and training, to support you to learn the role and get to know colleagues.

We trust colleagues to work flexibly while balancing personal commitments with the needs of the charity, and we are committed to making reasonable adjustments for colleagues with a disability, neurodiversity, or a long-term physical or mental health condition.

About Read for Good

Read for Good is a national charity dedicated to inspiring children to develop a life-changing love of reading. Their flagship Readathon® programme in schools has been motivating children to read since 1984 and their unique Hospitals programme brings brand-new books and storyteller visits to major children's hospitals across the UK.

Reaching hundreds of thousands of children each year, they are seeking a new trust fundraising specialist to help secure sustainability and growth for this vital work, as part of a committed and collaborative fundraising team. With a distinctive brand and a reputation for delivering high-quality, high-impact programmes, you'll have the foundations to continue developing and evolving an outstanding trusts and foundations pipeline.

About the role - if you love crafting compelling cases for support and building long-lasting funder relationships…

Then you'll take lead responsibility for the trusts and foundations portfolio, securing five- and six-figure grants by shaping fundable ideas, building strong relationships and providing sector-leading stewardship.

You'll manage your own pipeline and support other members of the team to do the same, write compelling proposals and reports, and work closely with senior colleagues across the charity. This is a fantastic opportunity if you thrive on autonomy and relish the art of your craft - both strategy and rolling up your sleeves.

We're looking for someone who can:

• Take lead responsibility for the trusts pipeline, managing high-value prospects
• Craft clear, persuasive, and tailored funding applications
• Secure repeat and multi-year grants that strengthen strategic partnerships
• Monitor performance, track progress and report against targets
• Maintain consistent, high-quality and creative stewardship
• Support and help shape a positive, collaborative team culture

About you - we'd love to hear from you if you bring:

• A strong track record of winning five- or six-figure grants
• Experience managing a funding pipeline and producing high-quality proposals
• Excellent written communication, storytelling and analytical skills
• Ability to build warm, professional relationships with funders and colleagues
• Strategic thinking, strong organisational skills and sound judgement
• A proactive, curious, collaborative mindset and a passion for reading

Don't worry if you don't tick every single box. If you're excited about the role and believe you can make a meaningful contribution, we would always encourage you to apply.
