The Sutton Trust is the UK’s leading social mobility charity. We believe every young person should have a fair chance in life, regardless of their family’s income, the school they go to or where they grow up. But today in Britain, the opportunity to succeed is heavily shaped by socio-economic background. Our mission is to change this. Our programmes empower young people to access life-changing opportunities, and our research influences national change to deliver a fairer future.
Each year, together with our university and employer partners, we support over 14,000 young people to reach their potential through our university, apprenticeship, and career access programmes. And our support does not stop there. We engage our thriving alumni community to help them to succeed in their professions and to act as advocates for social mobility.
Our rigorous and extensive research shines a light on barriers to opportunity from the early years to the workplace, and we strive to influence national policy change with evidence-based solutions to tackle educational and workplace inequality. Using insights from our programmes and research, we also test and scale new ideas in education and employment practice.
As an independent charity, our work is entirely reliant on the generous support of our community of donors. The need to support our work to tackle Britain’s low social mobility has never been greater.

Operation Smile is an international medical charity specialising in cleft surgery and care for babies, children and adults. Since 1982, the organisation has transformed lives through safe surgery and comprehensive cleft care, while strengthening local health systems through training, education and partnerships
Operating in more than 30 countries, Operation Smile raises around $100m globally each year. Operation Smile UK plays a vital role within this international network as a fundraising office, working closely with Operation Smile Inc. to fund programmes and support medical volunteers delivering care around the world.
The organisation is entering an exciting phase of development through its Operation 100 strategy, which focuses on strengthening surgical systems by supporting district hospitals closer to the communities they serve. This approach creates compelling opportunities for philanthropy, enabling donors to support highly tangible, life-changing interventions while helping build sustainable surgical capacity in low-resource settings.
Operation Smile UK has a strong individual giving programme and well-established relationships with corporate partners, trusts and institutional donors. Major donor fundraising, however, is still developing, presenting significant untapped potential and an exciting opportunity to help build a structured and sustainable philanthropy programme.
Operation Smile UK is now seeking a Philanthropy Manager to help grow major donor fundraising, building new philanthropic relationships and expanding support from HNWIs.
As Philanthropy Manager, you will:
- Develop and implement Operation Smile UK’s major donor strategy alongside the Director of Partnerships
- Identify and cultivate new major donor prospects through research, networking (internally and externally) and peer-to-peer introductions through supporters and board members
- Steward a small but warm portfolio of existing donors while focusing primarily on developing new prospects, delivering full lifecycle stewardship from cultivation through to long-term relationship management
- Develop compelling restricted funding propositions aligned with programmes, including geographically or thematically focused projects
- Lead cultivation activity including donor meetings, proposals, events and programme visits
- Represent Operation Smile UK confidently with major donors, prospects and senior stakeholders
- Contribute to the continued development of philanthropy fundraising within the wider Partnerships team
- Occasionally travel internationally to visit programmes and accompany donors, providing first-hand insight into Operation Smile’s impact
Essential skills and experience:
- Experience in major donor fundraising with a track record of securing five-figure+ gifts from HNWIs
- Experience managing the full lifecycle of major donor fundraising, from prospecting and cultivation through to solicitation and stewardship
- Strong prospect research and pipeline development skills, including identifying and developing new donor relationships from cold
- Experience and confidence in building rapport and trust with prospective major donors
- Experience engaging trustees, senior volunteers and colleagues in fundraising and leveraging networks for peer-to-peer introductions
- Confidence and credibility when representing an organisation to HNWIs and senior stakeholders
- Strong relationship-building and influencing skills, with the ability to champion major donor fundraising in a collaborative and thoughtful way across the organisation
- A proactive, self-starting approach and the ability to identify and develop opportunities within a growing fundraising programme
Desirable:
- Experience in international development or global health fundraising
- Experience helping to develop a major donor programme from a low base or early stage
We are open to receiving applications from early career major donor fundraisers for this role. The role offers an opportunity to work alongside an experienced Director of Partnerships who has previously built major donor programmes and is committed to supporting the successful candidate through coaching and mentoring.
Employee benefits include:
- 25 days annual leave, excluding bank holidays, with 1-day additional holiday each year to a maximum of 30 days annual leave
- 6.1% employer pension contribution
- Enhanced maternity package (min. 24 months service)

About the role
As Blagrave prepares to launch our new strategy in 2026, this role will help ensure that learning informs our decisions and strengthens our work.

- Digital literacy skills, including the ability to use simple tools for organising information, creating basic dashboards or summaries, and supporting light-touch knowledge management (e.g., shared drives, spreadsheets, survey tools).
- Experience communicating learning or insight externally (e.g., blogs, reflection pieces, sector discussions).
- Comfort organising information using simple knowledge-management tools (e.g., shared drive structures, basic templates, or light-touch digital tools).

About the role
Crisis has laid out a vision, that by 2035 we will see all forms of homelessness in decline. We will bring about this impact through our three organisational aims, by:

· Delivering services that end homelessness for people and places
· Building a community of people across Britain that are helping to end homelessness
To manage this bold ambition, we are planning in three-year cycles. Our current 2025-28 strategic plan outlines our key priorities – alongside national influencing, place-based system change, direct service delivery and greater audience engagement, we will become a landlord for the first time in our 60-year history.
Getting stuck into the detail, the Transformation Manager will aid delivery of our strategic programmes by enabling collaboration, providing exemplary programme management, and establishing adaptive ways of working that will shift organisational practice as we go deeper into delivering our strategy.
About you
You’re proactive and collaborative, skilled at designing and initiating ways of working that motivate colleagues to galvanise around programme goals.
A proven programme manager, you know when a programme is on track, how to effectively manage risk, and unlock successful delivery.
