About the role
The Institut français du Royaume-Uni is seeking a dynamic and strategic Head of Patrons’ Circle & Sponsorship Activation to lead the development of its patron engagement programmes and sponsorship (in-kind) activation strategy across the Institut’s major cultural events and flagship seasons.
This senior role has three core objectives:
- to grow and structure the Institut’s existing Patrons’ Circle;
- to create and launch a new Young Patrons Circle aimed at engaging a new generation of supporters;
- to design and deliver an in-kind sponsorship activation strategy across the Institut’s flagship cultural events and programmes.
The role combines community building, relationship management, experiential programming and sponsorship activation. It focuses on audience engagement, visibility and stakeholder experience rather than direct fundraising or financial sponsorship solicitation.
A key dimension of the role is the development of both:
- an in situ engagement programme at the Institut français;
- and a “Hors-les-murs” programme of exclusive events and experiences organised in partnership with leading cultural venues and institutions across London.
Working closely with the Head of Partnerships & Major Donors, the successful candidate will contribute to the Institut’s development strategy by creating meaningful experiences for patrons, sponsors and cultural stakeholders.

Calibre Audio is a national charity providing accessible audiobooks to people who are unable to read print due to visual impairment, dyslexia, or other conditions. Through a digital-first service and diverse library, the charity enables children and adults to experience the joy and lifelong benefits of reading, while increasingly delivering impact across literacy, education, wellbeing and social inclusion.
Fundraising at Calibre Audio is entering an exciting new phase of development. The charity has recently appointed its first Director of Fundraising & Communications, bringing fundraising, communications and brand together under a newly created leadership role. With a refreshed organisational narrative, ambitious plans for growth and a renewed focus on increasing income and profile, fundraising is becoming an increasingly important driver of Calibre Audio’s future impact.
Trusts and foundations are a key part of this growth strategy. Historically, income has been generated through a combination of loyal funders and a high volume of smaller grants. The organisation is now seeking to build a more strategic trusts programme focused on stronger stewardship, deeper funder relationships, larger grants and long-term partnerships. There is significant untapped potential, including opportunities to re-engage previous funders, develop new relationships and secure support for a range of compelling programmes spanning literacy, education, disability, wellbeing and community impact.
The Senior Trusts Fundraiser will lead this work, partnering closely with the Director to shape and deliver the next phase of trusts fundraising at Calibre Audio. This is a role with genuine scope to influence strategy, develop new opportunities and make a visible contribution to organisational growth. It would suit an ambitious trusts fundraiser who enjoys relationship building as much as writing applications and is motivated by the opportunity to help build something.
As Senior Trusts Fundraiser, you will:
- Develop and implement a strategic trusts and foundations fundraising programme aligned with organisational priorities
- Identify, research and cultivate new funding opportunities, with a focus on larger and multi-year grants
- Build and manage a strong pipeline of prospective trusts and foundations
- Develop compelling, high-quality funding applications, proposals and report
- Secure significant income from a portfolio of trusts and foundations
- Build and strengthen long-term relationships with funders through excellent stewardship and engagement
- Reactivate and develop relationships with previous funders and supporters
- Work closely with colleagues across the organisation to gather impact data and develop compelling cases for support
- Act as a key ambassador for Calibre Audio with funders and external stakeholders
Essential skills and experience:
- Proven track record of securing five-figure grants from trusts and foundations
- Strong relationship-building and stakeholder engagement skills
- Excellent written communication skills, with the ability to develop persuasive and compelling funding applications
- Strong prospect research and pipeline development skills
- Experience identifying, developing and securing new funding opportunities
- Excellent verbal communication skills and confidence engaging with external stakeholders
- A proactive and entrepreneurial approach, with the ability to spot opportunities and drive activity forward
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
Desirable, but not essential:
- Experience securing six-figure and/or multi-year grants
- Knowledge of the disability, literacy, education or wellbeing sectors
- Experience using Beacon CRM
- Experience contributing to fundraising strategy
Calibre Audio are also keen to hear from ambitious early-career fundraisers. Whilst a track record of securing trusts funding is essential, we are more interested in your potential, approach and attributes than the size of grants you have secured to date. If you bring strong relationship-building skills, initiative and an entrepreneurial mindset, this role offers an exceptional opportunity to work closely with an experienced fundraising leader, benefit from coaching and mentoring, and play a key role in shaping a growing trusts programme.
Employee benefits include
- 30 days annual leave plus bank holidays and an additional Calibre Christmas closure day
- Matched pension contributions up to 5% of salary
- Medical Cash Plan (Hive Insurance Bronze Package)
- Life Assurance cover of 2 x salary
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Reward Gateway, offering discounts and savings across hundreds of retailers
- Free on-site parking
In the first instance, application by CV-only and answers to the two screening questions.
Suitable applicants will be invited to an initial chat with Laura Macnamara at QuarterFive, where we will run through the brief and your relevant experience.
Full support will be provided with formal application.
At Calibre Audio, our mission is to ensure that everyone can enjoy the pleasure of reading, regardless of a print disability or health condition.

Lead a team, inspire young people and help shape brighter futures across Merseyside.
Looking for the next step in your youth work / mentoring career?
Maybe you're currently a Senior Youth Worker, Programme Coordinator, Team Leader, Sports Development Officer or Pastoral Lead looking for your next challenge.
You've spent years delivering impactful work with young people and are ready to take on more responsibility while still staying connected to frontline delivery.
Or perhaps you're already leading a team and fancy a new challenge in a dynamic and busy role.
At Dallaglio RugbyWorks, we support young people who are at risk of exclusion from education. Using sport as a hook and positive relationships as the foundation, we help young people build confidence, resilience, aspirations and life skills that can transform their futures.
We're looking for someone who can lead from the front. Someone who can support and develop a team, build strong partnerships with schools and community organisations, and still enjoy working directly with young people.
If that sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you.
__________________________
The Role at a Glance
Youth Mentor / Regional Team Lead (we call it Senior Programme Coordinator)
Merseyside & Stockport
£28,000 – £34,000 per year
Full-time, 37.5 hours per week, including up to two evenings per week until 7pm
What you’ll be doing
As Senior Programme Coordinator, you'll help make sure that support reaches as many young people as possible and that it's delivered to a consistently high standard.
You'll lead a small team of sports coaches and youth mentors, helping them plan great sessions, develop their practice and overcome the day-to-day challenges that come with the job. You'll also build and maintain strong relationships with schools, alternative provisions and community partners to keep programmes running smoothly.
This is a hands-on role. Alongside keeping regional delivery on track, you'll still spend time working directly with young people: being a positive presence, modelling good practice and helping create the kind of safe, engaging environments where young people can thrive.
You'll also take the lead on the activities that go beyond our weekly sessions such as organising holiday programmes, Career Taster Days, regional trips and events that give young people experiences they wouldn't otherwise have. These are some of the most rewarding parts of the role and a real chance to see young people shine in a different context.
Building relationships in the community is a big part of this too. You'll get to know the local area, embed yourself in the networks around it and find partners, venues and opportunities that help deepen out work and enhance our engagement with young people.
You don't need to know anything about rugby to do this job well. What matters is your ability to connect with young people and the communities around them.
This is a role where you get to combine youth work, teamwork and programme coordination, making a real difference every day.
You're probably a great fit if...
You believe every young person deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of the challenges they've faced.
You have experience working with young people and understand how important positive relationships can be in helping them build confidence and change their future direction.
You're someone who enjoys supporting others to succeed, whether that's coaching staff, building partnerships or helping young people overcome barriers.
You can balance the bigger picture with the day-to-day detail, keeping programmes organised while maintaining a strong focus on quality and impact.
Most importantly, you're passionate about creating opportunities for young people and helping teams deliver their very best work.
What you'll need
- Experience delivering programmes or interventions for young people facing significant challenges
- A qualification in Sports Coaching, Youth Work, Teaching or a related field
- A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
- The ability to travel regularly across Merseyside and Stockport
- Flexibility to work up to two evenings per week (until 7pm)
Bonus points if you have...
- Experience leading, supporting or developing staff within youth work, sport, education or community settings
This is your chance to help shape the future of our work across Merseyside.
More About Us
At Dallaglio RugbyWorks, we support young people 12-18 who have been excluded from education or at risk of exclusion. Using sport as the starting point and mentoring as the foundation, we help them build confidence, resilience and the skills they need to create brighter futures. Rugby helps start the relationship, but the work goes far beyond sport. The charity uses mentoring, life skills, wellbeing support and career-focused activities to help young people build confidence and prepare for life after school.
Our work focuses on four areas: life skills, raising aspirations, physical wellbeing and mental wellbeing and the aim is to make sure exclusion from school does not become exclusion from society. You’ll be part of a team giving young people consistent support, trusted adults and practical chances to move towards education, employment or training.
