For this role, we are actively seeking applicants with personal lived experience similar to those of the target client group. An Enhanced Adult and Child Workforce with Child Barred List DBS check is required for this role.

In return, you can expect generous leave allowance, staff pension, flexible working, a mentoring programme, an advice and counselling service, clinical therapist sessions, life insurance (4 x annual salary), season ticket loan, employee perks programme, eye care voucher and much more.

We are an equity and inclusion confident employer. We welcome all applications, and we particularly encourage applications from people of the global majority (black, brown, multi- heritage) and those who identify as disabled, neuroexpansive, neurodiverse, with any protected characteristics and/or social barriers or challenges.

Job Title: Senior Fundraising Manager (Retention and RoomSponsor Partnership): 6 month FTC

Location: London/Hybrid In office each Tuesday

Salary: £50,100 per annum

Weekly Hours: 35

Reference: YMC1233682

About Us

Founded in 1844, YMCA is a global movement and the world's largest youth-focused charity. In England and Wales, YMCAs are based in over 700 communities across 168 local authorities, supporting young people and communities to reach their potential. The turnover of YMCA in 2025-26 was £386m. YMCA England & Wales is a £23 million organisation of more than 400 colleagues, supporting a Federation of 80 local YMCAs to deliver vital services which positively impact young lives across the country.  We're now looking for an expert in Individual Giving to lead our retention and RoomSponsor activity.

About the Role

This is a chance to take the reins of a high-performing Individual Giving programme and make it your own. You'll have genuine independence to shape the retention strategy across cash, mid-level and regular giving.

You'll lead a team of three – experienced and capable fundraisers - and you'll be the person who helps them go further, while keeping a close eye on income growth and the supporter journey end to end. Alongside the core programme, you'll also have oversight of our small events portfolio, including our marathon fundraising activity, so there's variety in the mix alongside the retention programme.

This is a chance to make an impact within an organisation with a strong track record in giving career progression, backed by an SLT genuinely supportive of new initiatives.

About You

You're an expert in Individual Giving with a proven track record in retention, direct marketing or mid-level fundraising, and experience managing budgets, suppliers and performance data.

You're a confident line manager who enjoys developing others, and you'll bring strong communication and influencing skills, sound judgement under pressure, and a genuine commitment to YMCA's mission and values.

If you're ready for real ownership, a supportive senior team, and an opportunity for self-development within a charity with genuine scale and ambition, we'd love to hear from you.
