Plan International UK is a global children’s charity striving for an equal world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.   
 
We bring people together to protect children’s rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes. And we won’t stop until we are all equal. 
 
This is an exciting moment to join our major donor programme. We have doubled major donor income in the last two years, and we have ambitious plans to do even more with our brilliant supporters.

As Major Donor Manager, you will lead the strategic direction of our major donor programme and the team behind it. This is a senior role responsible for managing and developing three philanthropy officers, holding oversight of the full portfolio, and leading our new business and prospecting effort.
 
Rather than holding a personal portfolio of live donors, which we will keep stable for our supporters during this period, you will own and drive the prospect pipeline through to the point of ask: shaping every approach, planning cultivation, and progressing new business, with high-value asks routed through the Philanthropy Lead and wider team to protect continuity for our partners. You will also drive the next phase of our giving circle, shape our events programme, and work closely with our Director of Fundraising, Trustees and senior volunteers to open doors and secure multi-year, six-figure support.
 
You will be an experienced major donor professional with the track record and judgement to lead a programme and team. Specifically, you will bring:

• Substantial experience of securing high-value gifts from high-net-worth individuals and building lasting relationships.
• A genuine appetite for developing people, with the skill to coach, motivate and grow an emerging team.
• The interpersonal skills to influence and collaborate with senior internal and external stakeholders, including Trustees and Leadership Forum.
• The instinct and pace to pick up an established programme quickly and drive the new business pipeline with confidence through a transition.
• A passion for our values, our feminist leadership principles and our vision for girls’ equality

 
For further detail of this role, please see the job profile. 
 
Please note, due to the short nature of this contract and a requirement for the successful candidate to be able to start as soon as possible, unfortunately we are unable to provide sponsorship for this role.
 
The deadline for applications is 23:59 on Monday 6 July 2026
 
First-round interviews will take place on Monday 13 July 2026
 
Second-round interviews will take place on Monday 20 July 2026
 
We are committed to the safeguarding and protection of children, young people and adults in our work. We, therefore, apply rigorous recruitment and selection processes to ensure that only those who are suitable are recruited to work for us. Accordingly, appointment to all our roles is subject to a range of vetting checks and for this role this will include a Basic Disclosure and Barring (DBS) check.

We are a small happy team with a big heart for the work and this is really important to us, as is our Christian motivation.  If you work for DFN you will join a committed team who pray for our work and believe everyone is created in God's image.  You will be the sole employee devoted to marketing and communications but will work closely with the CEO and colleagues. 

The role is broad and we appreciate that you may not have all the skills we are looking for but if the work motivates you, our culture appeals and you have some sound experience please apply.  We can supplement skills with training, outsourcing and volunteer support, as required.   The role is part-time - between 15 to 23 hours per week.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for two Experts by Experience Board Advisors to join the Helen Bamber Foundation Board of Trustees, who have lived experience of seeking asylum, being granted refugee status or another form of protection in the UK and lived experience of extreme human rights abuses.

The Board of Trustees is made up of individuals who have overall control and legal responsibility for the charity’s management and administration.
