Role Purpose:

This is a very exciting time for The Social Change Nest. We continue a trajectory of steep growth, onboarding and supporting hundreds of new groups every year. We are working closely with funders worldwide, helping them move large amounts of funding to unincorporated movements at the frontlines of social change. We are spending more time than ever raising awareness on how capital flows impact the ability of communities to create change, and how we can hack the system to enable more money to flow in an equitable way to unincorporated movements. We are looking for somebody who is excited about all this and ready to hit the ground running.

About the Social Change Nest

At the Social Change Nest (SCN), we’re radically transforming the funding landscape and strengthening civil society. We remove the financial and administrative barriers – like bank accounts and legal structures – that often prevent communities, grassroots groups and informal movements from accessing funding and focusing on their core mission. We also work closely with funders, enabling them to support social action with confidence and transparency.

We currently support over 700 groups across the UK and abroad addressing issues such as social injustice, climate, housing, wellbeing and animal rights. We are at the forefront of fiscal hosting in Europe and, since our inception in 2021, we have supported groups in securing over £50 million in funding, helping them take advantage of opportunities that may have otherwise been unavailable.

Underpinned by our values of collaboration, curiosity, courage, and creativity, we work closely and with care with our partners because we believe relationships are the glue that holds us all together.

We’re a growing business and operate at pace to keep up with the challenges that the sector faces. We have established a lot, but as we grow, we’re still working some things out. The ideal candidate will enjoy working within a fast-paced and evolving organisation and have a natural curiosity about how their role fits into the bigger picture. You’ll thrive on problem-solving and will feel comfortable handling multiple priorities at once, always seeking collaborative solutions. You’ll be adaptable and able to shift focus quickly when things change, ensuring strong communication across the team and with clients to keep everything aligned.

Key Responsibilities:

 Business Development

• Ability to adapt communication style, pitch and materials to a wide range of audiences, from grassroots community groups to large global foundations.
• Capable of anticipating and evaluating the potential risks and returns of projects and able to assess risk as part of the process.
• Experience in managing complex work strands and coordinating across different teams, demonstrating your leadership skills and strategic awareness.

At Severn Hospice, we provide specialist care and support to people living with incurable illness from across Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Mid Wales. We are looking for a motivated, empathetic and personable Legacy Fundraiser to help support our future care through legacy giving.

Legacies are a major income stream, and with your influential and intuitive approach you will play a pivotal role in managing, developing and maximising our legacy portfolio.

Just like our care, our relationships with supporters are individual and with your excellent interpersonal skills and sensitive manner, you will focus on building warm, meaningful relationships with supporters, creating positive experiences at every touchpoint and inspiring people to consider leaving a gift in their will. You will nurture existing legacy supporters, grow new audiences and contribute to engaging campaigns, events and community partnerships that promote legacy giving. Progress towards objectives will be regularly reviewed through key performance indicators (KPIs), ensuring that targets around supporter engagement, outreach activities, and campaign effectiveness are met and exceeded where possible and our future goals are achieved.

You will also develop links with local solicitors, funeral directors and other community partners to raise awareness of our care and the impact legacies can make. Part of your objectives will include expanding these professional networks and tracking partnership outcomes as a key indicator of success.

If you have excellent communication and organisational skills, the ability to balance sensitivity with ambition and a passion supporting a local cause we’d love you to get in touch. Working towards defined objectives and KPIs, you’ll play a fundamental role in supporting our future care and helping us to achieve long-term sustainability.

You’ll also help develop new income streams — from local businesses to female‑led enterprises — and work closely with colleagues to strengthen donor journeys and build a confident, ambitious fundraising culture.

What you’ll bring

You’re a natural communicator with a flair for storytelling and a sharp eye for opportunity. You’re organised, proactive and energised by a busy, varied workload. You enjoy thinking creatively, writing persuasively and turning insight into action. Above all, you’re motivated by the impact your work can have on women facing trauma, abuse and disadvantage.

Why join us?

You’ll be part of a small, passionate and supportive team with big ambitions. You’ll have room to innovate, freedom to shape your approach and the chance to grow your skills across individual giving, corporate partnerships and high‑value fundraising.
