This is a broad, outward-facing role, combining leadership, oversight and hands-on delivery. Alongside helping shape how the team operates, you will lead and grow major donor fundraising, building relationships with high-value supporters, owning a portfolio, and playing a central role in securing significant gifts.
About the Organisation
The charity was founded by Dr Shelley Gilbert MBE, and works to offer a way through the anxiety, fear and isolation so often caused by grief. Bereavement is devastating at any age, but for a child it is life changing.
An open-access charity, funded by the generosity of supporters, they are here to help ease the pain and confusion caused by the death of a parent or sibling. Services include one-to-one counselling, music therapy, grief relief kits and much more.
What matters?
The vision of a world where no child grieves alone. The mission? To give every child, young person and their families access to the best possible support following the death of someone close.
Leading with empathy and kindness, putting people first.
