 Location – Hybrid Working with a minimum of one day a week working from Head Office in London

Join our friendly team

We have an exciting opportunity for a Community and Events Manager to join our Fundraising team. This is a fantastic role for an experienced fundraiser who is passionate about developing supporter-led fundraising, delivering exceptional events and building meaningful relationships that help families stay together when they need it most.

Our charity

The Sick Children's Trust is the charity that provides a welcoming 'Home from Home' where families with a sick child in hospital can stay. But we're more than bricks and mortar, our friendly, caring staff are there to support families when they really need it.

Hospital can be a lonely and scary place for anyone, but especially a child. Providing around 3,200 families a year with somewhere to stay together just minutes from the hospital means that they can be by their sick child's side and have one less thing to worry about.

The Role

This is a varied and rewarding fundraising management role, focused on developing and delivering an ambitious community and events fundraising programme that generates sustainable income, increases awareness of our work and builds long-term supporter relationships.

You will lead the development of community fundraising across the UK, supporting and inspiring individuals, families, schools, community groups, volunteers and local businesses to raise funds for the charity. At the same time, you will manage a portfolio of challenge and special events, ensuring excellent supporter experiences and strong financial returns.

You will oversee key events including our Carol Service, Supper Club and Golf Day, while also growing participation in challenge events such as the London Marathon, half marathons, walks, cycling events and other fundraising activities. You will identify new opportunities for growth, diversification and supporter acquisition across both community and events fundraising.

Working collaboratively with colleagues across Fundraising, Communications and Marketing, House Teams and external partners, you will help maximise fundraising income, increase engagement and ensure our supporters receive outstanding stewardship.

You will also lead and develop a small fundraising team, creating a collaborative and high-performing culture while supporting individuals to achieve their objectives and develop their skills.

This role requires a proactive and ambitious fundraiser with strong leadership, relationship-building and project management skills, together with the ability to manage multiple priorities and drive income growth.

About you

We're looking for someone who is passionate about community and events fundraising and motivated by creating meaningful opportunities for people to support our work.

You will have a proven track record in community fundraising, events fundraising or a related supporter-led income stream, with experience of building strong relationships and engaging supporters from a wide range of backgrounds.

You will be an excellent communicator and collaborator, equally comfortable inspiring volunteers, supporting families who want to fundraise, representing the charity at events, or working with colleagues to develop new campaigns and initiatives.

You will have experience of leading and developing people, managing projects and budgets, and balancing multiple priorities while maintaining excellent attention to detail.

Ultimately, this is a great role for someone who enjoys leading from the front, building relationships and developing innovative fundraising activities that make a real difference to families with seriously ill children.

This is a great opportunity, and we are reviewing applications as we receive them, so early application is advised.

The recruitment pack will provide you with more information about the role. If this role sounds like something you will excel in, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply please submit your CV with a covering letter demonstrating how you meet the criteria set out in the job description and person specification.

Contract Type: Permanent 

Prospectus are excited to partner with our client in their search for a Head of Campaigns – Planning and Infrastructure. As they enter an exciting new chapter, this newly created role will play a pivotal role in strengthening their campaigning capability and shaping some of the most important national debates about how we use our finite supply of land in joined up, sustainable ways.

Working closely with colleagues across the charity, the charity's England wide network, and external partners and allies, you'll help to drive the charity's ambitious campaigning agenda. This role will collaborate with the also newly created Head of Campaigns – Landscapes and Land Use. While each role leads a distinct portfolio, together they will deliver the charity's strategic goals for a more joined-up approach to land, ensuring decisions about housing, infrastructure, food production, nature, climate and landscapes are no longer made in isolation, through campaigns that connect people, influence policy and create lasting change.

This is not a traditional policy role. We're looking for a strategic campaigner who understands how to combine policy insight, public engagement and influential relationships to drive change. And for someone’s who’s interested in the bigger picture of how planning and infrastructure fit into wider land use debates.

Leading the charity's work on planning, infrastructure and development, you'll translate complex issues into compelling campaigns and policy stories that influence decision-makers and mobilise and grow the charity's supporter base, building momentum for change.

You will bring significant experience of leading campaigns, policy communications, external affairs or influencing work, alongside a strong understanding of the planning and infrastructure landscape. You do not need to be a qualified planner, but you will have the credibility to engage confidently with policymakers, sector experts, partners and MPs, and the ability to turn that understanding into effective campaign strategies. You'll be an exceptional relationship builder, with experience bringing together coalitions, networks and stakeholders around shared goals. Most importantly, you'll understand how to connect policy issues to public concerns, creating campaigns that inspire people to get involved while delivering tangible policy impact.

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with experience across planning, housing, infrastructure, transport, development, public affairs, environmental advocacy or related campaigning fields, who are passionate about building the partnerships and public support needed to create lasting change.

What you'll be doing

• Leading the charity's planning and infrastructure campaigning strategy and delivery at a national level.
• Working across the charity's network to develop impactful campaigns and projects that influence policy, public debate and grow supporter engagement.
• Building external relationships and partnerships with policymakers, politicians, campaign partners, and sector stakeholders to create opportunities for impact.
• Collaborating with fundraising colleagues to develop projects and funding opportunities that demonstrate solutions and strengthen campaigning objectives.
• Acting as a senior spokesperson for the charity in influential external forums, in the media and leading coalition work.
• Leading and developing team members and helping create a collaborative, high-performing culture.

To apply, please submit a CV and cover letter, which outlines your skills, experience and achievements that are relevant to the role.

It focuses on our policy demands in five areas that drive the cost of living crisis: wages, social security, energy, housing and taxation. The campaign positions itself as the civil society coalition focused on the cost of living as a whole, and that solutions to it must be addressed that way. The campaign relaunched in early 2026 and has a vital role to play in putting media and political pressure on the government to take action. 

We also work closely with those most impacted by the crisis and aim to centre the voices of those with lived experience of economic hardship in all that we do. This role will shape and drive forward a programme of impactful communications, advocacy and other campaigning activities under the rebooted campaign to secure transformative changes that bring real improvement to people’s lives.

As they enter an exciting new chapter, this newly created role will play a pivotal role in strengthening their campaigning capability and shaping some of the most important national and regional debates about how we use our finite supply of land in joined up, sustainable ways.

Working closely with colleagues across the charity, the charity's England wide network and external partners and allies, you'll help to drive the charity's ambitious campaigning agenda. This role will collaborate with the also newly created Head of Campaigns – Planning and Infrastructure. While each role leads a distinct portfolio, together they will deliver the charity's strategic goals for a more joined-up approach to land, ensuring decisions about housing, infrastructure, food production, nature, climate and landscapes are no longer made in isolation, through campaigns that connect people, influence policy and create lasting change.

This is not a traditional policy role. We're looking for someone who understands that meaningful change happens when strong evidence is combined with compelling public engagement, powerful partnerships and effective influencing. Someone who can connect people, ideas and organisations around a shared vision for the future of our landscapes, building the charity's movement and creating pressure for change.

As Head of Campaigns, Landscapes and Land Use, you will lead ambitious national campaigns and policy communications that influence change and help people understand why decisions about all kinds of land use should be better connected and matter, and how they shape the future of the countryside we all depend on.

You will be able to demonstrate significant experience leading public campaigns, advocacy programmes, external affairs or influencing work, with a solid understanding of the political environment surrounding land use. You’ll have experience working with stakeholders, decision-makers and influencers at senior levels, developing strong relationships, with a track record of building partnerships and coalitions that achieve meaningful outcomes. You’ll have excellent strategic thinking and be able to evidence the ability to translate complex issues into compelling public campaigns.

A strong understanding of the policy context within the areas of landscapes, land use, climate, nature, agriculture, or environment is crucial for this role, and we are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with backgrounds in environmental campaigning, climate action, nature recovery, land management, agriculture, or countryside policy.

What you'll be doing

• Leading the charity's landscapes and land use campaigning strategy and delivery at a national level.
• Working across the charity's network to develop impactful campaigns and projects that influence policy, public debate and grow supporter engagement.
• Building external relationships and partnerships with policymakers, politicians, campaign partners, and sector stakeholders to create opportunities for impact.
• Collaborating with fundraising colleagues to develop projects and funding opportunities that demonstrate solutions and strengthen campaigning objectives.
• Acting as a senior spokesperson for the charity in influential external forums, in the media and leading coalition work.
• Leading and developing team members and helping create a collaborative, high-performing culture.
