You will work directly with partners, keep projects on track and in scope, and help partners understand and act on what their data is telling them.

In just five years, we have grown from an annual income of £70,000 to a forecast £1.2 million by August 2027. We have expanded our reach across the East Midlands, built strong partnerships with schools, businesses and communities, and supported tens of thousands of children and families experiencing poverty.
Our growth has been driven by innovation, ambition and a relentless focus on meeting the needs of children and young people. Through close collaboration with our school partners, we deliver practical support where it is needed most, helping children to thrive regardless of their circumstances.
While our impact within schools continues to grow, we know there is still enormous potential ahead.

This is a rare opportunity to help create the next £1 million of income growth.
About the Role
As Director of Fundraising and Communications, you will:
- Lead the creation, development and delivery of a bold and ambitious fundraising and communications strategy.
- Diversify income across corporate partnerships, major donors, trusts and foundations, community fundraising, individual giving and philanthropy.
- Develop compelling propositions that inspire investment in our mission.
- Increase awareness, visibility and understanding of LCH Charity across the East Midlands.
- Strengthen and protect the charity's brand and reputation.
- Build strategic relationships with senior business leaders, philanthropists, partners and stakeholders.

- Use insight, data and market intelligence to drive decision-making and growth.
- Act as a passionate ambassador and advocate for children, young people and families.
- Use systems to increase engagement across all supporters.
- Contribute to organisational leadership and strategic development as a member of the Executive Leadership Team.
Who We Are Looking For
We are seeking an ambitious, strategic and inspirational leader with a proven ability to deliver significant growth.
You will be someone who combines vision with action, enjoys building relationships, and thrives in environments where there is genuine opportunity to innovate and make a lasting impact.
You will bring:
- A successful track record of securing substantial fundraising growth.
- Experience working across a range of income streams, including corporate partnerships, trusts and foundations, philanthropy and individual giving.
- Strong commercial awareness and an entrepreneurial mindset.
- Exceptional communication, influencing and relationship-building skills.
- Experience of developing successful communications, marketing or brand strategies.
- Strong leadership experience and the ability to motivate and develop teams.
- The confidence to identify new opportunities and convert them into sustainable income.
- A genuine passion for improving outcomes for children, young people and families.

Yet we believe we are only at the beginning of our journey.
We are looking for a leader who shares our ambition, who sees opportunity rather than limitation, and who wants to play a defining role in shaping the future of a growing and impactful organisation.
What Success Will Look Like
In this role, you will:
- Build income streams capable of matching the success of our flagship School Colour Dash programme.
- Secure transformational corporate, philanthropic and strategic partnerships.
- Significantly increase awareness and recognition of LCH Charity.

About GMWSA
Greater Manchester Women’s Support Alliance brings together nine Member and Associate women’s centres serving all ten Greater Manchester boroughs. Together, the Alliance helps women involved in the criminal justice system, at risk of offending or experiencing multiple disadvantage to access coordinated, trauma-responsive support in their communities.
GMWSA is both a strategic alliance and a contract-holding organisation. It coordinates major commissioned work across Greater Manchester, supports delivery through local women’s centres and represents a pan-Greater Manchester view in partnerships concerned with women, justice, health and gender-based violence. Its work includes community-based probation services, support at HMP Styal and health-focused initiatives delivered with NHS and voluntary-sector partners.
About the role
This maternity-cover appointment comes at an important point in GMWSA’s development. The substantive Chief Executive has built strong relationships and a significant portfolio of work. During her absence, the Alliance needs a confident interim leader who can maintain momentum, give staff and partners clarity, and ensure that major commitments continue to be delivered well.
Alongside business continuity, there is meaningful development work to lead. GMWSA is resetting its strategic purpose, strengthening the way its Board and membership work together, and preparing for the possible retender of service contracts.
The successful candidate will keep delivery on track while helping the Board and members make practical progress on these priorities.
You will lead a small core team and work across a wider network of project staff, secondees, women’s centres, commissioners and strategic partners. This is a hands-on role requiring sound judgement, strong relationships and the confidence to move between operational detail and system-level influence.
Key responsibilities
· Provide visible, values-led executive leadership throughout the maternity-cover period.
· Maintain oversight of contracts, services, safeguarding, performance, finance and organisational risk.
· Lead readiness for a potential contract retender, coordinating members, evidence, relationships and bid planning.
· Work with trustees to strengthen governance, clarify accountability and support Chair and Treasurer recruitment and induction.
· Bring members together around a clearer strategic purpose and a sustainable future for the Alliance.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for an experienced Chief Executive, Interim Chief Executive or senior leader who can establish credibility quickly and combine calm stewardship with constructive change.
You will be comfortable leading a small organisation that operates through partnerships, commissioned services and influence rather than a large directly delivered service base.
The successful candidate will bring:
· Senior leadership experience in a charity, public-service or other mission-led setting.
· A strong understanding of commissioned services, contract performance and the disciplines required of a prime provider or accountable body.
· Strong external relationship and influencing skills, including the ability to hold constructive boundaries with commissioners.
Why join GMWSA?
This is an opportunity to make a tangible difference in a focused period: protecting high-value services for women, supporting a committed team and membership, and helping an established Alliance take its next steps with greater clarity and confidence.
The role offers genuine scope to influence that work while maintaining the relationships and operational grip on which women and partners rely.
How to apply
Full information about the role and the application process will be available on the Peridot Partners microsite. Applications will close on a date to be confirmed.
For a confidential discussion, please contact Bill Yuksel at Peridot Partners.
This post is restricted to women as an occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010. Appointment will be subject to appropriate pre-employment checks, including a DBS check.
Following the successful set up of THINK Recruitment, we are looking for a Senior Recruitment Consultant to lead THINK Recruitment to provide capacity and focus in the right areas to generate future growth.
This is a role with a real opportunity to take ownership and make a visible contribution to THINK’s growth. You’ll have responsibility for developing client relationships, winning and delivering recruitment and interim assignments, building our candidate networks and representing THINK externally. There’s also scope to shape how we develop our presence in the fundraising recruitment market through thought leadership, events and partnerships.
For someone who is ambitious and enjoys the commercial side of recruitment, there’s plenty of room to grow. You’ll work closely with the wider THINK team and have the opportunity to build strong relationships with senior clients, develop your market knowledge and take ownership of areas of the business.
It is essential the successful candidate has experience delivering recruitment campaigns, ideally within the third sector. Experience in fundraising or supporting fundraising recruitment would also be helpful. THINK Recruitment places high value on ethical and accessible recruitment practise, so a commitment to running inclusive recruitment campaigns is also key.
To apply, please download the Candidate Pack and send your CV to THINK to express interest. A member of our team will be in touch with the next steps of the process.
