FUNDRAISING MANAGER

FULL-TIME

SALARY: £34,664 to £38,655 per annum (FTE for 37 hours a week)

Carers in Hertfordshire is a well-respected, independent, carer-led charity, established in 1995.  The charity works to ensure that all Hertfordshire’s unpaid carers are recognised, valued and supported in their caring role, have the opportunity for a life outside caring and can exercise a collective voice in the county. We support adult carers and young carers and provide information and advice. We also arrange a variety of ways for carers to work collaboratively with professional staff in a wide range of voluntary and statutory organisations, to link our services and help those organisations to develop a carer friendly focus.

The charity has experienced significant growth over recent years, with 110 staff and over 31,000 registered unpaid family carers. During this expansion, the charity’s commitment to driving quality improvements has led to an expansion in the nature and extent of services offered, as well as national acknowledgement through a GSK Impact Award.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Fundraising Manager to join us to further develop, drive and implement our Fundraising Strategy and Plan, which is seeking to achieve a year one income target of c.£105,000.

This post will work across a broad portfolio of fundraising. The post holder will be expected to manage a programme of work including organising and supporting community fundraising events, working with local donors such as for Charity of the Year partnerships, and coordinating and writing applications to grant-making trusts. The post holder will also be responsible for proactively recruiting and raising income with fundraising volunteers and charity partners.

We are looking for a self-motivated and tenacious individual, who has a demonstrable record of raising income and profile at a local level, who has a passion for building quality long term relationships with a variety of different types of donor, and someone who can effectively manage and support our valued fundraising volunteers.

A good standard of IT Skills is required, including use of databases, Microsoft office and the internet.  The role will require travel across Hertfordshire, so you will need the ability to travel independently, have access to a car and have a full valid driving license.

This is an exciting time to join us as we develop a new Fundraising Strategy in order to grow our fundraised income and develop new income streams.

For informal discussion about the role, please contact our office and speak to Tim Napper.

Closes: Monday 11th November, 09.00

Interviews: Thursday 21st or Tuesday 26th November 2019

Spread a Smile is a rapidly developing charity, with a mission to brighten the days of seriously ill children and teenagers in hospital.

Magicians, musicians, fairies, poets, singers, face painters, artists and therapy dogs make approximately 40 visits to London hospitals each month to provide a diversion from the boredom and monotony of those confined to hospital for prolonged periods. Spread a Smile reaches over 6,000 children a year.

Initially focussed on establishing a robust, well-organised and expertly delivered service in London and the South East, Spread a Smile wants to grow from six to 12 major hospitals and hospices in the next five years.

It is critical for the charity, as they grow, that they build upon the strong culture of connection, seen from founders and trustees, staff, donors and beneficiaries. Their work is utterly engaging, and exactly what you’d hope it to be, but for families the meaning of their work couldn’t be more profound. They raised £650k in 2017/18, from corporates, trusts and foundations, individuals and high-quality events.

Many of the team of 16 have been with the charity since the start, but their consistent and excellent trajectory of growth (across fundraising, capacity and operations) has led them to a point where they need a Director of Fundraising to manage and develop their income and related communications.

This new position will report to the Chief Executive, work closely with all parts of the charity, and ensure Spread a Smile is managing the income opportunities available, and that its capabilities are growing with demand.

The Director of Fundraising will:

• help deliver excellent fundraising outcomes directly, from a range of high value individual supporters and high value events
• lead and manage a team of three – a developed Head of Fundraising with a focus on corporates, a developed Trusts and Foundation Fundraiser, and a Fundraising Assistant
• strategically plan, and report on, the best route for income delivery and growth
• start with a rich and exciting corporate portfolio, a warm but underdeveloped major donor pipeline (including a 400 head gala), and some excellent trusts and foundation results
• maintain and develop great care of donors along the way

The position will best suit:

• an expert high value fundraiser, able to work brilliantly with people, with a broad portfolio and with limited resources
• an effective organiser and manager, able to coordinate multiple projects in a small team
• an ambitious and motivated leader, keen to make a mark in a very exciting charity

About us:

QuarterFive was launched in 2013 to provide exceptional, proactive recruitment consultancy to fundraisers and not-for-profit organisations. Seven years on, we’ve built a successful, close-knit team of twelve and a solid reputation for a high quality service that delivers excellent results. Our uniquely flexible and positive culture has been key to our success; we’ve strived to make this a great place to work, with collaboration, supportive leadership and highly motivating commission and benefits at the centre of our practice. Pointless KPIs, fixed hours, cold calls and tight-fisted bonuses aren’t our cup of tea.

We recruit fundraisers from Assistant to Director-level, for organisations ranging from startups to household name organisations including Action Against Hunger, Alzheimer’s Society, Marie Curie, Centrepoint, Concern Worldwide, Crisis, International Crisis Group, Mind, Plan UK, Shelter, Teach First, Terrence Higgins Trust, The Prince’s Trust and War Child. Our business comes from recommendations, an extensive client base, a Business Development team of three, and consultants intelligently developing relationships. 

Thanks to an excellent team, personalised training, exceptional data and systems, and making consistent placements, we doubled headcount in 2019 and are looking to grow again.

The role:

We’re looking for an experienced, high-performing consultant to join our well-established corporate fundraising team of two, recruiting to corporate fundraising roles up to director-level. This is one of our busiest and best-established areas of work, and you’ll work a mix of exclusive and quality contingent vacancies, spending up to 80% of your time filling these roles, 15% on BD, and 5% on training/development. 

We're flexible on what industry you've built your recruitment skills in, as long as you meet the criteria below. 

Essential skills & experience

• Consistent year-on-year billings 

• Exceptional, thoughtful use of data

• Planning and executing thorough, meticulous, proactive searches

• Highly articulate, showing attention to detail in both verbal and written form

• Skilled relationship builder, able to establish rapport with a wide range of stakeholders

• 25 days annual leave, plus Christmas Eve to New Year’s Day inclusive

• Q5 is registered with CycleScheme, allowing employees to purchase a bike in a tax-efficient way through a salary sacrifice scheme.

• Competitive pension (3% you, 4% us)

• Exceptional maternity and paternity benefits

Why us?

• Our business overwhelmingly comes from recommendations and networking

• We’ve recently appointed two new business developers to further drive our growth

• Less PSL work, more exclusive and retained jobs with quality briefs

• We actively build on individuals’ strengths rather than using KPIs to drive generic activities

• Supportive, collaborative culture – we collectively evolve best practice and learn together

• Our consultants actively contribute to the direction of the business

• We're growing fast, and this is a chance to join us at a time when our consultants play a key role in shaping the business

• We'll invest in expansion as soon as there is a clear case for doing so - we'd like to think we're an attractive prospect for highly ambitious people interested in growing with us

We take great pride and care in finding and developing new team members, and are happy to have informal phone or face-to-face conversations with suitable candidates. If you're a successful recruiter who's tired of suits, being forced to work poor quality jobs, 08:30-18:00 hours and the nonsense that comes with management by boardroom, this is a brilliant opportunity to do all the bits of your job you love and lose the stuff you don't.
