Summary
We’re recruiting for a new Head of Fundraising and Communications to build on the growth we’ve experienced in recent years, and move us to the next level. This is a wide role and you won’t be expected to be an expert at everything, so we are looking for someone with the knowledge, confidence and strategic approach to play to their strengths, while drawing in other expertise and capacity where needed. This is an exciting and inspiring opportunity for the right person, both in terms of the role itself, but also the key part you’ll play in helping to enable women who have survived trafficking and other forms of violence to recover and rebuild their lives.

Job Location:  Hybrid (at least two days a week in London office)

Salary:              £41,500 - £52,800 pro rata (depending on experience)

Working hours:Full-time

Contract:          Permanent 

Reporting to:  Co-Director

Two reasons why you should join Ella’s

You will work closely with other members of the Senior Leadership Team to raise crucial funding, public support and awareness to underpin our organisational strategy, and with colleagues across the organisation to gather and communicate stories and information in a powerful and accessible way. 

This is a ‘doing’ role as well as a senior one. It’s also a wide role and you won’t be expected to be an expert at everything, so we are looking for someone with the knowledge, confidence and strategic approach to play to your strengths and those of your team, while drawing in other expertise and capacity where needed. 

This is an exciting and inspiring opportunity for the right person, both in terms of the role itself, but also the key part you’ll play in helping to enable survivors to recover and rebuild their lives.
