This is a new post and you will have an important role in shaping the future of HYT.

Please see attached the full job description below.

Harris Hill is delighted to be supporting a beloved national children’s charity in their search for a Special Events Fundraiser to join a high-performing and collaborative fundraising team.

This is a rare opportunity to work on a small portfolio of high-impact, relationship-led events within one of the UK’s largest charities. Unlike many events roles, this position focuses far more on donor engagement and stewardship than high-volume logistics or delivery targets.

The role sits within the organisation’s high value fundraising team, helping to design and deliver events that deepen relationships with major supporters and provide meaningful insight into the charity’s work protecting children.

You will lead on a small portfolio of around 4–5 events each year, which may include policy-led engagement events, CEO dinners and intimate gala events designed to bring supporters closer to the charity’s mission.

These events are thoughtfully curated experiences rather than large-scale mass participation activities, making this a particularly appealing opportunity for someone who enjoys creating meaningful supporter moments and building relationships through events.

The role is led by an exceptional Head of team and a highly regarded line manager, within a supportive and collaborative fundraising culture.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing and delivering a portfolio of high-quality engagement and stewardship events for high value supporters
• Designing events that help donors better understand the charity’s impact and deepen long-term relationships
• Working closely with fundraising colleagues to ensure events support broader stewardship and engagement plans
• Managing budgets and external suppliers to ensure events are delivered effectively and creatively
• Building relationships with senior volunteers, supporters and internal stakeholders to maximise engagement
• Evaluating events and identifying opportunities to continuously enhance supporter experience

This role would suit someone who:

• Has experience delivering special events, engagement events or donor stewardship events
• Enjoys the relationship-building side of events fundraising, not just logistics
• Has strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Is creative and able to develop engaging event concepts and experiences
• Ideally has some exposure to high value or major donor audiences

This organisation offers excellent flexibility, including just one day per week in the office, as well as options such as compressed hours or a four-day week.

This role would be less suited to candidates coming purely from challenge events or mass participation events, and particularly appealing to someone who enjoys smaller, more strategic events that build long-term supporter relationships.

Closing date: 12th March
Interviews: 16th, 17th or 18th March (online, one stage)
