Significant fundraising experience (5 years+) of securing gifts from high net-worth individuals making gifts privately, or through family trusts, donor advised funds and corporations.

Excellent knowledge about philanthropy sector developments, trends and key philanthropic organisations and networks in the UK and internationally.

A strong and proven track record of building new prospect pipelines and of managing a portfolio of donors, including demonstrable experience of securing six- and seven-figure gifts.

Strong project management skills to lead approaches backed up by an appropriate level of research and analysis.

Enthusiasm and willingness to trial, learn and adapt — whether building on existing major giving experience or trialling new ideas and approaches to reach new donors audiences, for example next generation or diaspora giving.

Effective and positive team-player with a strong preference for collaboration

Strong administrative, time-management, IT and numeracy skills.

We particularly encourage applications from candidates with lived experience of homelessness who we believe are an essential asset in our sector.

We are committed to being an inclusive employer and welcome the opportunity to consider flexible working arrangements.

About the Role

The Intensive Engagement Hub is an innovative new pilot service, run in partnership with Westminster City Council.

You will have the chance to be part of this exciting new approach to engage people experiencing rough sleeping who are furthest from help.  

As part of a small team, you will work intensively with people rough sleeping in Westminster whose physical and mental health, and engagement with services is creating a persistent barrier to their full assessment and plan to move into stable accommodation.

The pilot will provide;

• Full time wrap around case work for a cohort of approximately 20 people at a time, using the principles of a psychologically informed approach, to develop a plan with the person to support their move on into longer term accommodation, alongside building up a network of professionals around them to support wider stabilisation with health needs. The caseload will be distributed across the team 

• A schedule of temporary accommodation ‘hubs’ set up throughout the year and run from our Centre in Adelaide St. Each hub will offer communal style accommodation for each cohort and will run for up to 8 weeks (we plan to run 4 Hubs throughout the year). The offer of accommodation will be providing an incentive to engage, alongside a short term period of stability to focus on peoples physical & mental health, assessment and facilitation of access to other support services. 

As a result, we will be able to make a new offer to rough sleepers, for whom existing approaches have not been successful, giving them fresh opportunity to engage with the life changing services available that will stabilise them to be ready to move into settled accommodation.  

This is a pilot project, so this will be an opportunity to be part of testing a new approach, which if successful could dramatically improve systems and practices for the those with the most complex needs across the UK.

You will be flexible, adaptable and open to new ways of working, willing to try new approaches and being prepared to learn from mistakes. When the accommodation hubs are open the role will require flexibility and a rota system to ensure evening cover during the week and weekends (overnight cover not required). 

You will be joining the wider dynamic and creative team at The Connection who are grounded in building trust through relationships, providing harm minimisation to our clients whilst promoting a sense of belonging, and working with clients to support them on their journey towards a place to call home.
