Just for Kids Law (JfKL) works with and for children and young people to hold those with power to account and fight for wider reform. They do this by providing legal representation and advice, strategic litigation, campaigning, and equipping others to work for children’s rights.

They’ve achieved some incredible reforms that make a big difference to the lives of children and young people, including changes to the law on criminal records, which resulted in thousands of young people not being held back from fulfilling their potential, and ensuring that 17-year-olds are always treated as children in police custody. Additionally, JfKL hosts The Children’s Rights Alliance for England (CRAE), which works with around 100 members to promote children’s rights and monitor government implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

"Just for Kids Law has recently refocussed to ensure we make an impact where it’s needed most: providing trauma-informed and anti-racist legal representation to children and young people in contact with the criminal justice system and using the evidence from this case work to fight for systematic change.

We are looking for an exceptional colleague to co-lead the organisation with us and further strengthen Just for Kids Law’s fundraising and communications capacity. If you would relish the opportunity of working in a fast-paced, rights-based organisation that doesn’t shy away from the difficult issues, we would love to hear from you."

JfKL’s work and outstanding impact spans diverse activities including criminal law, human rights monitoring, youth justice, anti-racism, and campaigning for systemic change, providing ample scope to further develop trust and foundation income and shape compelling cases for support for HNWI gifts.

As Director of Development and Co-Lead, you will: 

• Develop and implement a fundraising strategy focused initially on maximising trust and foundation support and subsequently on building a HNWI fundraising programme
• Lead on creating a communication strategy 
• Oversee the finance and operations team of two people
• Lead the long-term diversification of the funding portfolio

Ideal skills and experience: 

• Ability to contribute to organisational strategy development
• Creating and delivering successful high-value fundraising programmes

Are you a motivated senior fundraising leader who wants to use their skills to help people experience the best possible quality of life, to the end of life?

As the new Head of Fundraising at St Catherine’s Hospice, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds. The chance to nurture a growing team towards high-performance, as well as flexing your own fundraising muscles cultivating high-value relationships.

Salary: £40,000
Contract: Permanent, full time
Location: Preston, with hybrid option with up to 2 days homeworking
Key Benefits: 36 days holiday (including bank) and an additional wellbeing day off for your birthday, up to 8% employer pension contribution, life insurance and an employee assistance programme.

About the hospice

St Catherine’s cares for patients and families across Chorley, Preston and South Ribble who are affected by life-shortening conditions like cancer, motor neurone disease and heart failure. Their specialised palliative and end of life care allows people to enjoy the best possible quality of life, to the end of life. They work with patients and their loved ones at the hospice and in their own homes to help them achieve what’s important to them in the time they have.

It’s a values-led organisation with care, compassion and commitment at the heart of everything it does.

About the role

The hospice has ambitious growth plans for fundraising, to enable as many people as possible to access their crucial services. You’ll lead the Community Engagement team to successfully deliver across a diverse fundraising portfolio, including corporate partnerships, major donors and individual giving, trusts and foundations, legacies and community.

We’re looking for someone with a significant fundraising track record in their own right. It’s a small but mighty fundraising team, so you’ll still get a kick from hands-on fundraising and engagement with supporters.

You’ll balance ambition and drive with the creativity and curiosity to try new things, and at the same time, honour the success and history of the hospice’s fundraising to date. 

To apply, we’ll definitely need to see:

· A proven track record of meeting or exceeding fundraising targets.

· Knowledge across a range of fundraising income streams, ideally with personal high-value experience (corporate or individuals).

· Strategic thinking, with the ability to lead from the front.

· A keen eye for numbers when it comes to budgeting and forecasting.

· Tact and diplomacy when it comes to influencing – an all-round brilliant communicator.

· Emotional intelligence in both internal and external relationships.

Charity People are honoured to be working with the fantastic First Days charity, on their search for their first ever Director of Fundraising to spearhead a new era of fundraising and take the charity into an exciting new era.

First Days was started in 2013 in response to needs in the local community in Berkshire. Quite simply: there were people with stuff they didn't need and people who desperately needed it. The charity grew very quickly and now, nearly eight years later, they have helped over 10,000 children, and distributed over 250 tonnes of donated goods.

Their aim for the charity is very clear: they want to close our doors because no one needs their service anymore. However, with 4.5 million children living in poverty in the UK they actually need to do the opposite - they need to boldly transform our service in order to launch a project that has the capacity and capability to help children across the UK.

This is their first ever Director of Fundraising role, and the postholder has an incredibly exciting brief: to take fundraising to the next level, shape and deliver a new strategy as they see fit, and build a solid income foundation for years to come, transforming how fundraising is delivered for the charity.

About the role

The role will be a key member of the Senior Leadership Team, and be integral to this new fundraising phase, with responsibility for building and delivering a new comprehensive strategy to achieve continued growth and impact. Initial focus will be on corporate partnerships, major donors, and grant applications, and ensure that marketing messages are aligned and across the organisation to maximise reach and fundraising potential.

About you:

They are looking for an individual with boundless ambition, a strategic mindset, and motivated by the potential to make their own stamp on how fundraising is done at First Days. Your fundraising experience across multiple income streams, combined with inspiring leadership qualities, networking prowess, strategic viewpoint and experience with high-level stakeholders will set you apart and ensure income targets are achieved across the team.

You will be able to demonstrate:
- Strategic planning and forecasting
- Experience of multiple income streams
- Delivering business growth
- Exceptional partnership and relationship qualities
- Managing budgets and KPI's
