What you will be doing

Fundraising Manager

£45,000 FTE | £27,000 actual salary
22.5 hours per week | Part-time | Hybrid – Ilford, Essex

Ready to take the lead and make your mark?

The Dream Factory creates life-changing dreams for children and young adults aged 3–25 who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, severe disabilities and serious illnesses.

Every dream we grant creates something incredibly precious: an experience to look forward to, a chance for families to spend special time together and memories that can last a lifetime.

We are now looking for an experienced and relationship-focused Fundraising Manager to help us grow our income, strengthen our supporter relationships and enable us to grant even more dreams.

This is more than an opportunity to manage an existing fundraising programme. You'll have the chance to help shape the future of fundraising at The Dream Factory.

Working just 22.5 hours across three days a week, this could be an ideal opportunity for an experienced fundraiser looking for greater flexibility alongside the chance to take real ownership of a fundraising function.

Could this be your next step?

You may already be a Fundraising Manager, or you could be an experienced Senior Fundraiser, Corporate Fundraiser, Community Fundraiser or Partnerships Fundraiser who's ready to take the next step and lead a fundraising function.

You don't need to be an expert in every area of fundraising.

We're looking for someone who knows how to build strong relationships, spot opportunities, turn ideas into income and inspire others to support a cause.

You'll be someone who enjoys thinking strategically but is equally happy rolling up your sleeves and making things happen.

What you'll be doing

Working closely with our small and committed team and Board of Trustees, you will take the lead on developing our fundraising and building sustainable income for the charity.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• shape and deliver our fundraising plans and priorities
• develop new corporate partnerships and build relationships with local and national businesses
• grow our community fundraising and individual giving
• develop fundraising campaigns, events and new income opportunities
• nurture existing supporters and develop long-term relationships
• identify opportunities to increase and diversify income
• manage and support colleagues involved in fundraising activity
• develop the systems and processes needed to support effective fundraising
• monitor fundraising performance and provide updates to the Board
• bring your own ideas, experience and creativity to the role.

This is a hands-on position. We are looking for someone who is excited by the opportunity to both lead fundraising and get involved in delivering it.

You won't be doing it alone

We know that asking one person to “lead all fundraising” can sound like a big ask – particularly in a part-time role.

That's why it's important to us that candidates understand that you will be joining an established charity with a committed staff team, supportive Board, existing supporters and fundraising relationships.

You'll also have external support for our trusts and foundations fundraising, allowing you to focus your time on developing other areas of income and building relationships that can help The Dream Factory grow.

You'll have the freedom to bring new ideas, test different approaches and help us decide where our greatest fundraising opportunities lie.

Who we're looking for

We're much more interested in what you can do than where you've worked.

You'll probably have experience of generating income through one or more areas of fundraising, rather than necessarily having worked across every income stream.

We'd particularly love to hear from you if you:

• have experience of successfully generating fundraising income
• are confident building relationships with supporters, businesses and partners
• can identify and develop new fundraising opportunities
• are comfortable taking ownership and working independently
• can balance planning with hands-on delivery
• communicate confidently and can inspire people to support a cause
• are organised and able to manage competing priorities
• enjoy working as part of a small team where everyone contributes
• share our determination to create extraordinary experiences for children, young adults and their families.

Experience of corporate, community or individual giving would be particularly valuable, but we don't expect you to arrive with experience of everything.

If you have strong fundraising experience, great relationship-building skills and the ambition to step up and lead, we'd encourage you to apply.

Why join The Dream Factory?

Because in a small charity, you can see the difference you make.

You'll have genuine ownership of fundraising and the opportunity to shape how it develops.

You'll work directly with a passionate team and Board, build relationships with supporters and partners and see the direct connection between the income you help generate and the dreams we're able to make come true.

This role offers:

• £45,000 FTE salary (c£27,000 actual)
• 22.5 hours per week across three days
• hybrid working
• genuine autonomy and the opportunity to shape fundraising strategy
• the chance to develop your experience as a fundraising leader
• an opportunity to make a visible and lasting difference within a small charity.

For someone who has been waiting for the opportunity to take the lead, introduce their own ideas and build something, this could be that opportunity.

About The Dream Factory

The Dream Factory grants dreams to children and young adults aged 3–25 with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, severe disabilities and serious illnesses.

Our dreams are about much more than one special day. They give children and young people something positive to focus on, create opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach and give families precious experiences and memories together.

We are a small charity with big ambitions and our ability to reach more families depends on growing sustainable fundraising income.

That's where you come in.

Interested?

If you're an experienced fundraiser looking for a flexible role where you can have genuine influence or you're ready to take the next step in your fundraising career – we'd love to hear from you.

Please don't be put off if you don't meet every single point in the job description. If you believe you have the fundraising experience, relationship-building skills and enthusiasm to make a difference at The Dream Factory, we'd encourage you to apply.

DESIRABLE

• Good at building long-lasting relationships with key stakeholders
• Knowledge of non-profit governance and structure
• Introductory Certificate in Fundraising
• Certified Fund-Raising Executive (CFRE)
• Specialized training from the Chartered Institute of Fundraising

This is an exciting opportunity for a senior fundraising professional who combines strategic thinking with excellent relationship-building skills and a passion for making a tangible difference.

The Fundraising Manager will lead on the development and growth of several key income streams, including:

• Major Donors
• Corporate Partnerships and Giving
• Regular Giving
• Gifts in Wills (Legacies)

Working in close partnership with SUDEP Action's other Fundraising Manager (who oversees Community fundraising, Trusts and Grants and other aspects of our in-memory giving), the postholder will also share responsibility for the development, delivery and performance of wider fundraising activity across the charity.

A significant aspect of this role will involve re-engaging existing high-value supporters while identifying and cultivating new prospects. The ideal candidate will be confident networking, opening doors, building meaningful relationships and inspiring people to support a cause that may be unfamiliar to them.

The postholder will work collaboratively with colleagues across the organisation, including fundraising colleagues, the CEO, and wider management team, drawing upon their expertise to develop effective fundraising plans, test assumptions and ensure the charity is represented professionally, authentically and consistently.

Given the nature of SUDEP Action's work, the role also requires sensitivity, empathy and the ability to engage thoughtfully with people affected by epilepsy and bereavement.

Who we are
We are OUTpatients, the UK’s LGBTIQ+ cancer charity. Proudly led by and for our community, we are here to shake up the system, advocate for equity, and stand up for every LGBTIQ+ person affected by cancer. Our passion to support others is born out of personal experience; we understand what it’s like to not see yourself reflected in the services you use, and feel like you are left in the margins at a time when you most need personalised support. That is why we host peer support, educate healthcare professionals and help to shape national policy so that nobody has to go through cancer alone.

The position

The Head of Fundraising & Business Development is one of three new senior leadership roles we're creating alongside our CEO, the first time OUTpatients has built a leadership team of this kind. It's a rare chance to build an income generation function from scratch, not inherit and manage one that already exists.

You'll be the driving force behind how we fund our growth: designing and delivering a multi-channel income strategy spanning trusts and grants, corporate partnerships, individual giving and commercialised education products, and personally securing the gifts and partnerships that sustain our peer support, healthcare education and advocacy work. This is a hands-on, deeply personal role. You'll write the bids, pitch the sponsors and build the relationships yourself, not oversee others doing it.

Working closely with our incoming Chief Operating Officer and Chief Medical Officer, and reporting directly to our CEO, your work will directly shape how many more LGBTIQ+ people affected by cancer we're able to reach.
