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.

Director of Principal Giving & International 
Advancement Department
University College London
London, UK
Grade 10 role with a salary of £100,000-£120,000 pa (inclusive of London Allowance). Plus excellent benefits, including a sector-leading relocation package.

An exceptional leadership opportunity to play a significant role in the success of one of the biggest fundraising and engagement campaigns in the higher education sector in Europe.

UCL is a radically different university. Founded in 1826 in the heart of London, we were the first university in England to welcome students of any religion and the first to welcome women on equal terms with men. Today, UCL has over 51,000 students, 14,000 staff and over 470,000 alumni, and is one of the world’s top 10 universities.

We will launch our largest ever fundraising and engagement campaign that will leverage the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that our bicentennial anniversary in 2026 presents.  Since our last campaign, we have increased our ambitions and are building further capacity and expertise across our Advancement division.  As part of this step-change, we have re-imagined our Principal Gifts & International team and are now seeking an experienced practitioner to drive this area forward.  There has never been a more exciting time to join the Advancement office.

As the Director of Principal Giving & International, you will lead a newly combined team that cultivates meaningful relationships with donors and prospective supporters who have the potential to transform the future and impact of UCL.  You and your team of experts will secure philanthropic gifts at the 7 and 8-figure level and drive our international fundraising activity forward.  You will work with key colleagues and stakeholders across Advancement and the wider University, as well as with a mission-critical senior volunteer network around the world.  It’ll therefore be critical that you are a highly experienced and ambitious fundraiser and leader, with vision, creativity and the ability to make things happen while taking others on the journey with you. 

To be successful, you must bring well-rounded knowledge and experience of best-in-class principal gifts fundraising, and a demonstrable track record of securing 7-figure philanthropic gifts, alongside an awareness of global fundraising trends. Your approachable and collaborative manner, along with your ability to work at pace and with gravitas, inspires confidence from those around you.  Being enterprising and solutions-focussed, people enjoy working with you and actively seek you out as a thought partner.  You must be equally comfortable in playing a front-facing role, as well as operating behind the scenes and supporting others in making the ask, as it’s the transformational outcomes and impact that truly drives you.

In return, you will join a team of passionate individuals who work together to achieve remarkable things with a global impact.  Our people really are our greatest asset, and we invest in them so that they can fulfil their potential.  Equity, diversity and inclusion is important to us and we are committed to creating an environment where everyone is encouraged to give their best in a place where their unique experiences, perspectives and skills are seen as valuable assets. We also prioritise work-life balance and offer hybrid and agile working as well as flexibility around working hours.  We are happy to receive part-time applications for all of our job opportunities, and can consider a 0.8FTE working pattern for this role. And we particularly welcome applications from candidates who are likely to be underrepresented in UCL’s workforce.

Please tell Richmond Associates if there are any reasonable adjustments we can make to help you in your application or with our recruitment process.

DanceSyndrome is looking for an exceptional, experienced, self-motivated, and enthusiastic Growth & Development Director with a minimum of 10 years’ work experience to lead, manage and execute DanceSyndrome’s strategy: Vision 2030, with a specific focus in driving revenue into the organisation, and participation and audience engagement.

We have ambitious plans for the next few years. Our Growth & Development Director will need to be an extremely personable and approachable individual with a strategic mind, and persuasive (Sales) manner who is able to reach and attract new participants, increase participants attending our Community workshops, and increase and reach new audiences for our Performance work to ensure the long-term sustainability of DanceSyndrome’s community offering. 

This is an exciting time to be joining DanceSyndrome where inclusivity and equality create a vibrant energised connected ‘family’. We aim to maximise our impact on a big scale. We have bold ambitions to deliver an outstanding, collaborative, and high-quality programme of co-produced and co-delivered inclusive dance across the North-West, to develop a pathway of opportunities for people with learning disabilities from early years to adulthood and to develop a best practice social replication model.

At DanceSyndrome, we change mindsets about leaders with learning disabilities through a bold model of co-produced dance. Our direct impact creates hope for the future by growing confidence,  building experience and providing creative opportunities in a pioneering way.

Job description

Could you be our next Trainee Housing Adviser?! 

Are you passionate about helping people through difficult situations? Are you a ‘people person’, with good computer skills and a strong attention to detail?

Maybe you’ve lived through housing stress yourself? 

We’re looking for someone with great potential and a commitment to learning. 

 

Benefits include: 
25 days holiday, flexible/hybrid working, pension scheme, employee wellbeing support. 

About The Role
There’s a moment, just before something goes out into the world, when everything clicks into place. The message is clear, the design feels right, and you know it’s going to connect with someone who needs it.
At Alzheimer’s Society, those moments matter. Every piece of creative work helps people affected by dementia feel seen, supported and understood.
As a Junior Designer, you’ll play a part in making that happen. Working within our Creative team, you’ll help turn ideas into thoughtful, well-crafted design across digital and print. From campaign visuals to everyday assets, your work will help bring our brand to life in a way that is consistent, accessible and meaningful.
You’ll collaborate with designers, content specialists and digital colleagues, learning as you go and building your skills in a supportive, fast-paced environment where your work has real impact.
What you’ll do
In this role, you’ll spend your time bringing ideas to life through thoughtful, well-crafted design. You’ll work across a mix of digital and print, creating and adapting assets that help communicate important messages and support impactful campaigns.
You’ll take creative concepts and shape them into clear, engaging visuals that feel consistent, on brand and accessible to a wide range of audiences. Whether you’re refining layouts, resizing assets or preparing files for delivery, you’ll care about getting the details right.
Working closely with colleagues across creative, content and digital teams, you’ll help make sure design supports the bigger picture. You’ll be part of conversations, contribute ideas and collaborate to deliver work that lands well and makes a difference.
Alongside this, you’ll manage your own workload, keeping projects moving and maintaining quality even when things are busy.
At a glance, you will:

- Create and adapt design across digital and print, from social content to campaign materials
- Prepare and deliver artwork that meets brand, accessibility and quality standards
- Collaborate with colleagues to ensure creative supports wider campaigns and activity
- Manage multiple projects and deadlines, staying organised and focused

About you
You’re someone who cares about the details, but also understands how they fit into the bigger picture. You’re motivated, organised and ready to grow, with a natural ability to keep things moving even when things get busy.
You’ll likely bring:

- A strong eye for detail and pride in producing accurate, high-quality work
- Good project and time management skills, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines
- Confidence managing more than one task at a time, and knowing how to refocus when priorities shift
- A proactive, self-starting approach, taking ownership of your work while knowing when to ask for support
- The ability to build positive working relationships with a range of people
- Confidence explaining creative ideas in a clear and accessible way, especially to non-design colleagues

You care about inclusive design and understand that how something looks is only part of the story. You think about how it’s experienced, making sure your work is clear, accessible and relevant to different audiences, including people affected by dementia.
We know that great candidates don’t always meet every requirement. If this role interests you and you feel you could make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
Interviews are provisionally scheduled to take place on the 23rd September via MS Teams.

About Alzheimer's Society
Dementia is the UK's biggest killer. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime.

At Alzheimer's Society, we're the UK's leading dementia charity and the only one to tackle all aspects of dementia by giving help and hope to people living with dementia today and in the future. We give vital support to people facing the most frightening times of their lives, while also funding groundbreaking research and campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be.

Together with our supporters, we're working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives.

Our values make sure that our focus is clear for the challenges and opportunities ahead and remind us of what we all stand for.

Our commitment to Equity, Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging

We need to ensure the voices around our table better reflect and understand the communities we exist to serve. We strongly encourage individuals to apply who have a disability, impairment or health condition or individuals who identify as Black, Asian or from another minority ethnic background, as these groups are currently under-represented at Alzheimer's Society.

We want everyone we work with, as a colleague, volunteer, supporter, or someone we support, to feel included and that they belong at Alzheimer's Society.

Our Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy here along with our internal employee forum and Employee Lived Experience network groups help us promote inclusion and belonging, becoming an engaged and inclusive organisation for all our people.

Our hiring process

During your recruitment process we want to make sure that you bring your whole self and can be at your best. We are working hard to ensure our recruitment process is as inclusive as possible, so please do inform us of your experience and anything you think we could do better by completing our candidate survey when you apply. Please also contact Alzheimer's Society Talent Acquisition Team via [email protected] for application support or any adjustments you might need.

To ensure fairness and consistency to select the best candidate for this role, all our applications are anonymised up until an interview has been confirmed. We recognise the benefits of AI, but if you're considering using it to submit your application, we encourage you to reflect on the value it truly adds. AI tools often lack the personal touch and authenticity that set candidates apart. We want to hear your unique perspective, experiences, and skills, so we encourage you to showcase them in your own voice.

We try to avoid closing roles early where possible, however if we receive a high volume of applications, we may close earlier than the advertised closing date. Should this occur, we will aim to provide you with at least 48 hours' notice.

We are committed to safer recruitment and ensuring the welfare of those we work with, due to the nature of some of our roles, we might need to carry out a Criminal Record Check at the relevant level. You can read more information via our Website.

Giving back to you

Our employees work hard every day to make a true difference in people's lives. We are proud to support them with a range of benefits, recognition and many options for working agilely, all contributing to a strong work life balance. We also have various learning programmes to support you in your development and help you grow to realise your potential and shape a career with Alzheimer's Society.
