At Snowdrop Project, we support survivors of modern slavery to recover from their pasts and rebuild their futures. We were the first UK charity to offer long-term, community-based support for survivors—and today, we continue to lead the way in trauma-informed care, advocacy, and reintegration.

Now, we’re looking for a dynamic, innovative and creative Head of Fundraising (Maternity Cover) to help us grow our impact and drive our fundraising efforts to support more survivors of modern slavery.

We are at a pivotal stage of our organisational and fundraising strategy. This role has an exciting responsibility to capture the importance of the work that Snowdrop does and drive forward our ambitious fundraising strategy, focusing on diversifying income streams that sustains and grows our support to survivors. 

You will need to demonstrate excellent interpersonal skills; experience of  fundraising; and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively and prioritise rapidly changing lists of tasks.

We’re a small, supportive team, so you’ll have the chance to shape your own projects, bring your ideas to life, and see the real-world impact of your work. 

What You’ll Be Doing:  

You’ll lead our Fundraising Team and line manage our dynamic and engaged fundraisers, supporting them from planning inspiring activities and events to supporting local fundraisers and volunteers all whilst upholding Snowdrop’s values and fundraising best practice.

  • The Head of Fundraising role sits within the Senior Leadership team at Snowdrop and is responsible to contribute to the overall leadership, strategic management and continued development of the organisation
  • Leading on creating strategies for attracting new corporate donors and partnerships alongside driving forward our well-established corporate volunteering programme
  • This person will work alongside and support Snowdrop’s trusts and grants fundraiser and support on large grant applications where necessary 
  • Line management of the Donor Relations and Communications Manager and Community and Events Fundraising Manager, alongside the supervision of two consultants

What We’re Looking For

  • Have experience in fundraising and leadership
  • Are a confident communicator and leader who thrives meeting people and building relationships
  • Are proactive, creative, and passionate about our work supporting survivors of modern slavery and exploitation
  • Share our values of compassion, empowerment and collaboration

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a pioneering, survivor-focused charity making a real impact
  • Work in a supportive, inclusive and values-led organization
  • Have the freedom to bring your ideas to life and take ownership of your work
  • Join a team that celebrates progress, values growth, and genuinely cares
  • Receive a number of benefits including your birthday off and monthly therapeutic sessions
