Head of community fundraising jobs

£40,500 - £47,700 per annum

Fixed term - 12 months, full-time (37.5 hours per week)

Hybrid working with regular travel to our London Bridge Office

What the job involves

We’re looking for a Customer Research Manager to join us on a fixed-term contract to cover parental leave for 12 months. This is a key role in our Customer Analysis and Insight team, helping us build deeper, more meaningful relationships with our supporters and with men with prostate cancer.

You’ll lead on quantitative and qualitative research projects, uncovering insights that shape how we communicate, fundraise, and deliver services. Expect to work on campaign evaluations, audience segmentation, and product development, as well as managing our survey platform and Insights Library. You’ll collaborate across teams to guide market and competitor research and manage a customer research analyst, ensuring our work delivers value for money.

This role is all about turning information into action, helping us understand what motivates our audiences and making sure those insights improve everything we do. You will also lead stakeholder engagement, using your influencing skills to explain the ‘why’ behind our insights and help others see the value of customer research in decision-making.

You will be part of a passionate team that’s focused on making a real difference for people affected by prostate cancer.

What we want from you

You are a research specialist with a strong track record in managing both quantitative and qualitative projects - from design and methodology to delivery and insight communication. You know how to turn complex data into clear, actionable recommendations and are confident presenting findings to a range of audiences.

You are curious, collaborative, and commercially minded, with a proactive approach and a passion for customer insight. You have worked with tools like Displayr, TGI, Toluna, Tableau or similar, and you understand the charity fundraising landscape.

We are looking for someone who is committed to equity, diversity, inclusion and allyship, and who brings a fresh perspective to our work. If you are excited by the idea of helping us grow our impact through evidence-based decision making, we would love to hear from you.

Why work with us?
Every man needs to know about the most common cancer in men – prostate cancer. It’s a real and present danger that takes over 12,000 of our dads, grandads, brothers and friends each year.

Prostate Cancer UK is the largest men’s health charity in the UK. We have a simple ambition – to stop prostate cancer damaging lives. We invest millions in research to revolutionise testing, treatment and care. We’re blazing a trail to a screening programme that could save thousands of lives with regular, accurate tests for all men at risk. And we work tirelessly to spread the word about risk and offer specialist support to people living with the disease.

Work with us and you’ll see your efforts pay off as we give men and their families the power to navigate prostate cancer.

Our commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion

At Prostate Cancer UK we’re committed to righting health inequalities across the UK, starting with those faced by Black men. This includes ground-breaking research into Black men's risk and working with communities directly to overcome barriers to the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer. To make this happen, we're dedicated to being an inclusive, proactive organisation, as we strive to be Allies to Black communities. We’ll achieve this by advocating and working alongside those communities to promote change. We're also working to be Allies to each other, not only protected groups. In 2024, we launched our New Allyship Training Programme. All colleagues at Prostate Cancer UK will be trained to act and identify as an Ally.

We've also signed Business in the Communities Race at Work Charter, as a dedication to our Black health equity work and wider EDI priorities. As a signatory, we're responsible and accountable for driving positive change.

How and where we work

We are all expected to be in the office (SE1 2QN) 4 days a month (pro-rata for part time colleagues) to work with and alongside colleagues in our immediate team and beyond to build connections and strong working relationships. We value that face-to-face time for relationships, projects and decisions.

Creating stronger communities through the power of volunteering

Since 1962, we’ve used our influence to champion volunteering as a powerful tool to build a thriving, resilient society. Our projects are co-created with the people and communities we work alongside: an approach that encourages our participants to become future volunteers and leaders, not just beneficiaries.

We understand the pressures of day-to-day life and create flexible, inclusive opportunities for people at all stages of life.

About us​

​Established in 2002, Greenhouse Sports is a youth charity specifically using sport to support social change. Sport is our hook to engage young people and one of the vehicles through which we support youth development. But our purpose is not to create elite athletes or address physical inactivity. Rather, we create opportunities for young people to recognise their strengths and develop the skills they need to thrive both now and in the future.

We work across London, Portsmouth, and Leicester, specifically in areas of high deprivation. We embed evidence-based positive youth development programmes into primary and secondary schools. These programmes are delivered by our trusted, high-quality coach-mentors who deliver year-round to ensure that young people have ongoing access to sport, mentoring, enrichment, and employability activities. The result of this work is that every year, Greenhouse Sports support over 9,000 young people to attend school more often, improve their wellbeing, and raise their aspirations, transforming life chances in the communities that need us the most.

The Person​​

Your communication skills will help you represent Greenhouse Sports across our partners, championing our programmes. If you’re motivated by making a difference and want to be at the heart of a charity that really makes a difference, we’d love to hear from you. 

​​The Role ​​

Are you ready to make a real impact in the lives of young people? As Safeguarding and Partnerships Manager, you’ll be the driving force behind ensuring all our activities are safe and available to as many young people as possible. You’ll work with our partner schools to ensure they have a thorough understanding of our programmes and that delivery is optimised to ensure positive and safe outcomes for our young people. 

Reporting to the Director of Impact and Engagement, as Safeguarding and Partnerships Manager you will act as the charity’s Designated Safeguarding Lead with responsibility for ensuring Greenhouse’s delivery has the safety and welfare of young people at its heart, with a highly trained informed workforce.

About Us

Literacy Pirates’ vision is for every child to have the literacy skills, confidence and perseverance to succeed at school and beyond. We provide free, after-school literacy support to children who are falling behind in class and who have fewer opportunities for additional support due to their personal circumstances than others.

Woman’s Trust is a leading, specialist mental health charity supporting women and children affected by domestic abuse. As we approach our 30th anniversary in 2026, we stand at a powerful moment of growth and transformation. Each year, our trauma-informed, women-led services provide life-changing counselling, therapeutic support and advocacy to women and children across London.
