An exceptional opportunity to help take a remarkable charity to its next stage

The Barrie Wells Trust is a children’s charity dedicated to creating extraordinary experiences and unforgettable memories for seriously ill and disabled children and their families.

The Trust has achieved an outstanding record of impact throughout the UK since its launch in 2008, with its work made possible through the vision and personal commitment of its Executive Chairman, Barrie Wells MBE. Historically, Barrie has managed and personally funded 100% of the Trust’s operational activities.

The Trust’s largest and most successful initiative is Box4Kids. Dedicated to bringing joy and happiness to children living with serious illness and disability, Box4Kids provides access to VIP experiences at major sporting and entertainment venues. Since 2010, the Trust has given over 29,000 guests VIP experiences through its Box4Kids initiative.

We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Fundraising to play a key role to take the Trust to its next phase. The successful candidate will work closely with Barrie, to build on the Trust’s considerable success whilst creating new opportunities to increase its reach and impact.

This is a senior, hands-on role for an experienced charity professional who combines proven fundraising ability with exceptional relationship-building and operational management skills.

A unique events model

The Trust’s events depend on bringing together three important groups of people:

Companies and high net worth individuals who are willing to donate hospitality boxes and other valuable experiences.

Hospitals, hospices and other charities who identify and nominate seriously ill and disabled children and their families who would benefit from the Trust’s support.

Volunteer hosts who generously give their time to attend events, ensuring that each family receives a warm, personal and memorable experience.

In-house event management team with responsibility for organising the events.

The Director will be responsible for overseeing these relationships and ensuring that the whole process works seamlessly, whilst also building a successful fundraising function.

Key Responsibilities

Fundraising & partnerships

· Create and implement a fundraising strategy capable of establishing sustainable income for the Trust.

· Identify, approach and develop relationships with potential corporate supporters and high net worth individuals.

· Secure financial donations as well as donations of hospitality boxes, experiences and other support.

· Build long-term relationships with donors and supporters and ensure they feel valued and engaged with the Trust’s work.

· Ensure all fundraising activities comply with relevant legislation and the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Fundraising Practice.

Event management & communications

· Lead the planning and delivery of the Trust’s programme of events, ensuring every event is professionally organised and delivers an exceptional experience for the children and their families.

· Oversee the development of strong relationships with hospitals, hospices and other appropriate organisations to encourage nominations of children and families.

· Oversee the recruitment and coordination of a strong network of reliable and enthusiastic hosts who give their time to attend events.

· Oversee the development of communications that engage different audiences including box and financial donors, beneficiaries, hospitals and hosts.

· Ensure the Trust’s information systems, website and social media are relevant and kept up to date.

Leadership & Operations

· Work closely with Barrie Wells to turn the Trust’s vision and objectives into practical action.

· Line manage key members of the team and develop staff, creating a culture of creativity, accountability and continuous improvement.

· Manage budgets, expenditure and resources effectively.

· Ensure the Trust operates to appropriate standards of governance and best practice.

You will have:

· A successful career within the charity sector, with demonstrable fundraising achievement.

· Experience of creating and significantly growing fundraising income.

· Exceptional relationship-building and influencing skills.

· Experience of recruiting, managing and motivating staff and/or volunteers.

· Excellent organisational and project management skills.

· Strong written and verbal communication skills.

· Sound commercial judgement and an entrepreneurial approach.

· The personality and emotional intelligence to represent the Trust with warmth, enthusiasm and professionalism.

You will be someone who enjoys bringing people together to achieve something special. You will understand that a donated box, a hospital nomination or a volunteer giving up their time is not simply an operational transaction – it is one of the essential ingredients in creating an extraordinary experience for a child and their family.

Why join the Barrie Wells Trust?

You will be joining a highly successful charity with an exceptional story and working directly with its founder and Executive Chairman, Barrie Wells. You will have the opportunity to build the Trust’s fundraising capability virtually from the ground up, while helping to shape its future direction. For the right person, this is a role where your relationships, energy, fundraising ability and leadership can have a very tangible impact.

If you are an experienced charity professional who wants to make a lasting difference and play a major part in the future of the Barrie Wells Trust with the potential to take on significantly greater responsibility, we would love to hear from you.

Teens Unite is leading the way in youth cancer support.

We’re an energetic, ambitious and dynamic charity improving the lives of 13-24-year-olds living with, and beyond, cancer. We’re not here to cure cancer. We’re here to empower young people to rebuild their lives and thrive beyond a diagnosis.

This is an incredibly exciting time to join the team. We’re growing rapidly, working alongside major brands and global organisations – from YouTube to Warner Bros. - as well as influencers and celebrity ambassadors, from the Sidemen to Grace Andrews. We’re also growing our media presence across everything from podcasts and radio including Capital FM, all to raise awareness of our work and generate the vital support needed to reach more young people.

From leading influential campaigns and securing media opportunities, to demonstrating our impact to corporate partners and supporters and acting as a guardian of the Teens Unite brand, this role is about amplifying our voice at every level. You’ll help ensure our message and purpose are clear, our impact is seen and understood, and more people are inspired to support our work.

And we’re about to embark on our most ambitious chapter yet.

We’re building the first purpose-built retreat in England for young people overcoming cancer. This pioneering, first-of- its-kind development will transform the support available to young people for generations to come.

Who you are:

You’re creative and proactive, with a talent for compelling storytelling, and a special way with words - whether it’s pitching a media story, keeping supporters updated on the difference they’ve made, or creating a campaign that turns heads, stops scrolling and encourages people to click the donate button.

You’ll seek new opportunities, spot potential and think differently about how Teens Unite can continue to grow its voice, influence and reach.

You’ll be excited by the opportunity to help take Teens Unite to the next level, finding new and innovative ways to raise awareness, build our profile and ensure more people understand the difference our work makes to young people living with, and beyond, cancer.

At the same time, you’ll understand the importance of a strong and consistent brand. You’ll have the confidence to push boundaries and explore new ideas while ensuring everything we communicate remains true to the Teens Unite voice, personality, values and brand guidelines.

Driven by purpose, you’ll be excited by the opportunity to use your communications skills to drive real change - ensuring the voices of the young people we support are heard, inspiring more people to support our work, and positioning Teens Unite as a leading charity with influence and recognition far beyond the youth cancer sector.

The role:

This role is about taking our communications to the next level and ensuring the Teens Unite voice is heard louder than ever.

You’ll be our go-to creative for compelling copy and standout design across print, online and digital marketing. From our website and newsletters to campaigns and supporter communications, you’ll bring the Teens Unite voice, purpose and personality to life - creating meaningful, thought-provoking communications that capture attention and inspire action.

You’ll keep our supporters motivated, engaged and connected to the difference they make. From demonstrating impact to the major corporate partners we work alongside, to sharing the heartwarming stories our regular donors want to hear, you’ll ensure everyone who makes our support possible feels recognised, valued and connected to our mission.

You’ll secure press opportunities through building strong relationships with journalists and media outlets, and understanding what makes a captivating news story, raising awareness of Teens Unite and the issues facing young people living with, and beyond, cancer.

You’ll support the delivery of integrated marketing campaigns that support our strategic objectives, from Teenage and Young Adult Cancer Awareness Month to Mental Health Awareness Week - finding creative ways to reach new audiences, start conversations and drive action.

And as we embark on our most ambitious chapter yet, you’ll also play an important role in raising the profile of our capital appeal. You’ll help build momentum, generate exposure and increase supporter engagement as we bring England’s first purpose-built retreat for young people overcoming cancer, to life.

What we offer:

When joining Teens Unite, you can expect:

• Flexible and hybrid working arrangements
• 33 days annual leave pro rata (inclusive of Bank Holidays)
• Christmas office closure
• Optional company-contributed pension scheme
• Recently refurbished offices and free on-site parking
• To be part of an inclusive and dynamic work environment with a dedicated and growing team
• Support in your personal and professional development, including access to training
• The opportunity to collaborate with incredible brands and organisations from Tesco to YouTube
• The chance to make a real-life difference in the lives of young people

Essential experience and qualifications:

Essential:

• Experience contributing to or leading multi-channel campaigns
• Excellent copywriting and storytelling skills
• Evidence of delivering marketing activity with measurable results
• Strong organisational skills and ability to manage multiple priorities
• A collaborative and confident approach - comfortable contributing ideas and taking ownership of projects
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, forward-thinking organisation and adapt to changing priorities
• Must be able to commute to Broxbourne, Hertfordshire

Desirable:

• Experience developing media relationships and securing press coverage
• Experience within the charity or not-for-profit sector
• Knowledge of Canva or similar design platforms

At TACT, you'll manage our recovery-focused supported housing service, supporting adults affected by addiction and mental health difficulties. We provide safe accommodation alongside housing-related support, helping people sustain their tenancy, build independence and move forward in recovery.

You'll need resilience, authenticity and a sense of humour, with the ability to build genuine relationships while maintaining professional boundaries.

• Managing occupancy, voids, rent accounts, compliance and property standards

• Responding to safeguarding concerns, incidents and complex resident situations

• Working closely with Y Housing, local authorities, treatment providers and partner agencies

• Experience of supported housing, housing-related support, tenancy sustainment or supported accommodation services

• Experience supporting adults affected by addiction, mental health difficulties or other complex social needs

• Relevant Level 4 Housing qualification (or you’re willing and able to start this by October 2026)

• Strong understanding of safeguarding, risk management and professional boundaries

Ability to remain calm, resilient and professional when managing challenging situations

• Excellent communication, organisational and leadership skills

• Ability to build genuine, trusting relationships whilst maintaining accountability and boundaries

• Good IT skills and experience maintaining accurate records
