Overview of ThinkForward

ThinkForward runs two breakthrough coaching programmes which intervene early to ensure young people at risk of becoming unemployed make a successful transition from education to work. Long-term coaching support over a number of years helps young people to take control of their own lives and believe in themselves.

The ThinkForward programme works with young people who face multiple challenges that might be holding them back from achieving their potential so that they can prepare for and gain work. The MoveForward programme works with young people with mild to moderate learning disabilities who have the potential to work but who may find it hard to prepare for and access opportunities.

At the heart of both programmes are coaches who provide young people with personalised one-to-one coaching and access to targeted activities which provide insights into the world of work and develop the skills needed for it.

The ThinkForward programme has a strong track record of delivering sustained impact, 83% our most recent graduates were in education or employment when they left the programme.

Having started as just a small pilot in London in 2011, the organisation and programmes have since expanded to Nottingham, Kent and the West Midlands. Our new five-year strategy aims to grow our work sustainably. To do this we are focused on evaluating what works and seeking strategic partners who can help us achieve our expansion aims.

ThinkForward’s fundraising track record

The original ThinkForward programme was funded by a social impact bond (SIB) which provided 50% of the funds needed for the programme to operate. The rest of our funding came from a few strategic and significant corporate and grant making trust grants. When the SIB ended in 2015, we developed a more diverse mix of philanthropic partners through funders including The Big Lottery Communities Fund, the GLA Young Londoners Fund, BBC Children in Need, Credit Suisse, Epic Foundation and Paul Hamlyn and at present our philanthropic income is close to £2m. In 2019 we created another SIB as part of the Government’s Life Chance’s Fund to grow our MoveForward programme and are now looking for further ways to grow our statutory income as part of our new five-year strategy.

We have many repeat funders and a strong community of loyal supporters who we keep in touch with our work through regular engagement opportunities.

Whilst our funding heritage is strong, we are an incredibly ambitious team and know there is more for us to do to build strategic partnerships which not only provide valuable funds but also open doors and create fairer employment opportunities for the young people on our programmes.

The development team benefits from the networks and advice of an active development committee, a sub-committee of ThinkForward’s board of trustees, as well as a network of business partners and contacts across the regions where we work.

Overview of role

The development manager will play a key role in a small development team, working alongside the director of development and communications, another manager leading on corporates, their foundations and major donors and a development officer. The purpose of the role is to play an active part in generating new business as well as account management, through the creation of a strong pipeline of opportunity and high-quality relationship development of future and existing partners.

It is a great opportunity for a proactive individual who wants to apply and develop a range of skills in a dynamic and ambitious team. There will be plenty of exciting project management opportunities which will include developing bids with the delivery team, the chance to influence strategy and lots of room to grow.

The development manager will have an impressive track record in building new partnerships and securing high-level funding from grant making trusts, foundations and statutory sources. They will embrace challenge and be excited by the prospect of being able to work in a small and entrepreneurial organisation, with the chance to shape ThinkForward’s future fundraising and profile.

The role:

As the Fundraising Manager, you will be the prime driver of income generation for AbScent.

Working with the Executive Director and trustees, you will develop an income generation strategy that will include online trading as well as charitable fundraising techniques.

Joining our current team of three, there is no staff responsibility yet, but we’re sure your efforts will create the need and funding to grow the team. This role is hands-on and immediate and your chance to build something amazing.

The role is home-based - AbScent doesn’t have an office yet - but you will be expected to attend regular meetings in Hampshire. This is a full-time role, but if part-time works for you, let's talk about it.

We have an expectation that you will:

• Create and deliver a fundraising strategy in line with AbScent’s objectives

• Manage trading; supporting marketing and development plans 

• Identify, cultivate and steward relationships with individual and corporate donors

• Specify, implement and manage fundraising tools, including a supporter database

• Monitor and regularly report on activity and results

• Lend practical support to colleagues across all areas
