Using Anonymous Recruitment
This organisation is using Anonymous Recruitment to reduce bias in the first stages of the hiring process. Our system keeps your personal information hidden until the recruiter contacts you.
We are the Churchill Fellowship: a charity which supports individual UK citizens to follow their passion for change, through learning from the world and bringing that knowledge back to the UK. If you are excited by the chance to support our wonderful Fellows to apply their research to help improve life in the UK, this could be the perfect role for you.
The Head of Development will play a crucial role in our Development team and the wider organisation. You will need to be comfortable working in an adaptable and responsive manner and have a passion for enabling change across a wide variety of areas.

To be successful in this role you will need to be happy working collaboratively as well as autonomously at other times: it will be crucial to work closely with various different stakeholders inside and outside the organisation to ensure that the development function is serving the needs of all teams, but it will also be important to ensure you are comfortable making key decisions and delivering on your vision for the development and fundraising function.
About our charity: Join us to support people-led change across the UK
We run the Churchill Fellowships, a unique programme that supports UK citizens to find new solutions worldwide for today’s most pressing challenges.
Every year we fund over 100 new Fellows to discover the latest ideas and best practice in any practical issue they care passionately about, anywhere in the world. The topics they explore cover every aspect of society and are often informed by their own lived experience. They meet leading practitioners, encounter cutting-edge projects and gather their findings in a published report. Then we help them to turn their ideas into action and inspire change in their communities and professions across the UK.
Fellows tell us that their Fellowship is life-changing, for themselves and for those who benefit from their global learning. These are dedicated and practical individuals with a strong vision of the change they want to see, the knowledge to progress it and the drive to make it happen. As a result, their impact is felt throughout the UK, and many go on to be leaders in their fields.
Our unique approach has created a community of thousands of highly effective changemakers working on the frontlines of today’s key issues. At the heart of all this is a simple but enduring concept: we are empowering individuals to learn from the world and transform lives across the UK.
