An exceptional opportunity to help take a remarkable charity to its next stage
The Barrie Wells Trust is a children’s charity dedicated to creating extraordinary experiences and unforgettable memories for seriously ill and disabled children and their families.
The Trust has achieved an outstanding record of impact throughout the UK since its launch in 2008, with its work made possible through the vision and personal commitment of its Executive Chairman, Barrie Wells MBE. Historically, Barrie has managed and personally funded 100% of the Trust’s operational activities.
The Trust’s largest and most successful initiative is Box4Kids. Dedicated to bringing joy and happiness to children living with serious illness and disability, Box4Kids provides access to VIP experiences at major sporting and entertainment venues. Since 2010, the Trust has given over 29,000 guests VIP experiences through its Box4Kids initiative.
We are now seeking an exceptional Director of Operations & Fundraising to play a key role to take the Trust to its next phase. The successful candidate will work closely with Barrie, to build on the Trust’s considerable success whilst creating new opportunities to increase its reach and impact.
This is a senior, hands-on role for an experienced charity professional who combines proven fundraising ability with exceptional relationship-building and operational management skills.
A unique events model
The Trust’s events depend on bringing together three important groups of people:
Companies and high net worth individuals who are willing to donate hospitality boxes and other valuable experiences.
Hospitals, hospices and other charities who identify and nominate seriously ill and disabled children and their families who would benefit from the Trust’s support.
Volunteer hosts who generously give their time to attend events, ensuring that each family receives a warm, personal and memorable experience.
In-house event management team with responsibility for organising the events.
The Director will be responsible for overseeing these relationships and ensuring that the whole process works seamlessly, whilst also building a successful fundraising function.

You will have experience of leading and developing people, managing projects and budgets, and balancing multiple priorities while maintaining excellent attention to detail.
Ultimately, this is a great role for someone who enjoys leading from the front, building relationships and developing innovative fundraising activities that make a real difference to families with seriously ill children.

Are you an experienced fundraiser who enjoys building relationships and wants the opportunity to shape a role around your skills and experience?
We’re looking for a Corporate Partnerships Fundraiser to join Enham Trust and help grow our corporate fundraising. You will manage and develop our existing partnerships while also building new relationships and identifying opportunities to bring new supporters on board.
This is a role where you will have the opportunity to take ownership, bring your own ideas and help shape how our corporate fundraising develops.
What you will be doing
You’ll build and maintain relationships with our corporate partners, while also identifying new organisations and opportunities to grow our income. You’ll work closely with businesses to develop fundraising, sponsorship, volunteering and other ways they can support Enham Trust.
You’ll also:
- Manage and develop existing corporate partnerships, while building relationships with new supporters.
- Identify and secure new fundraising and partnership opportunities.
- Develop corporate fundraising programmes and activities that encourage businesses to support Enham Trust.
- Develop effective processes and workflows to support corporate fundraising and supporter engagement.
- Meet with corporate partners, volunteers and other stakeholders
- Coordinate corporate volunteering opportunities and support positive experiences for our partners.
- Work closely with the wider fundraising team and contribute to wider fundraising activity where needed.
There is plenty of scope for the role to develop, so we’re looking for someone who is confident working independently, takes ownership and happy to bring new ideas to the table.
About you
You’ll already have fundraising experience and understand how to build strong relationships with supporters and develop those relationships into fundraising opportunities. Corporate or partnership fundraising experience is important, as you’ll be managing existing relationships while also looking for new opportunities.
You will be responsible for growing income to support Enham Trust’s fundraising targets.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Confident, organised and able to manage their own workload.
- Comfortable building relationships with businesses and other stakeholders.
- A strong communicator, both face to face and in writing.
- Confident presenting, networking and representing a charity externally.
- Able to spot opportunities and take them forward independently.
- Passionate about fundraising and motivated by making a difference.
Experience of working within the disability sector would be useful but isn’t essential. Fundraising training and support will be available, so we’re looking for someone who has the right fundraising experience and wants to develop their career with us.
You will need to be based within or near Hampshire, as we’re looking for someone who can work from our Enham Trust office around 2 to 3 days a week. You’ll also need to be comfortable travelling to meet corporate partners and attend external meetings, so you’ll need a full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle for work purposes.
