Major Donor Executive Jobs

Prisoners Abroad is a unique human rights and welfare charity providing advice and support to people affected by overseas imprisonment. We help British people during their incarceration, when they return to the UK and need resettlement services, and we also support their family throughout the trauma. It doesn’t matter to us the reasons people find themselves in need of our services – and we never judge. Our range of services make sure they survive, mentally and physically, so that they can face the future with hope. 

We are looking for an experienced fundraising and communications manager to join our successful fundraising team and support the sustainable growth of our individual income streams (IG, major donor and legacy), manage our events programme and lead on our external communications work to fund our life-saving services. Line managing two fundraisers, you will bring your experience across these areas gained within a charity fundraising and communications team to support income generation.

We are a friendly team of 7 who work collaboratively across income streams and are extremely supportive of each other in an environment where no two days are the same. 

Here’s what our team say about working at Prisoners Abroad: 
“The fundraising team at Prisoners Abroad is a brilliant place to work. Everyone is here for the same reason – because we care deeply about the cause and want to ensure the organisation has enough money to keep delivering its life-saving services. Raising money from trusts and foundations is challenging, stimulating and rewarding.”

“Being a fundraiser for Prisoners Abroad and campaigning for such a unique and moving cause is really rewarding. The work is varied and interesting, and it is lovely to be a part of both the fundraising team and the wider organisation, as we get along and work well together.”

“Fundraising at Prisoners Abroad is an incredibly rewarding job, and it’s an absolute pleasure to work in such a caring, supportive and welcoming team.” 

We offer enhanced staff benefits including 30 days’ annual leave a year (pro rata) in addition to bank holidays and a 6.5% employer contributory pension (minimum employee contribution of 1.5%). We deliver our services from our purpose-built office that is located a 3-minute walk from Finsbury Park Station (zone 2) which is 10 minutes from Oxford Circus and serviced by the Thameslink, Victoria & Piccadilly lines. 

Are you an experienced fundraiser looking to use your passion and expertise to support impactful arts activities involving people with experience of homelessness? Experience of implementing successful major giving and corporate income programmes? Want to be part of a dynamic, ambitious, joyful organisation? Then this could be the role for you!

The Choir with No Name (CWNN) has been building supportive choir communities with homeless and marginalised people since 2008. We were founded on the premise that singing makes you feel good; it distracts you from all the nonsense in life and helps you build confidence, skills and genuine, long-lasting friendships.

“I’m so happy to have found CWNN. It’s made such a difference to me. I’ve broken a 25-year cycle with drugs and honestly, I don’t think I could have done it without the choir. I’m not existing anymore, I’m living, and that’s huge.”
