Job description

We’re on a mission to inspire and equip every Christian in the UK to live as whole-life disciples of Jesus in every part of their lives. It’s a big mission – and we need a strong financial foundation to achieve it.

Established by John Stott in 1982, LICC is working to help embed whole-life discipleship in the culture of the UK church. We’re a small but vibrant team, and by God’s grace our work has major national impact. We’ve grown significantly in the last decade and plan to accelerate that growth over the next five years. 

Now, we’re looking for an experienced and inspiring fundraising leader with the commitment, skills, and ambition to help us exceed our income goals.

The Director of Fundraising will lead our donor relationship strategy to support LICC’s growing impact. From reaching new donors and encouraging fresh donor relationships, to deepening existing connections and maturing our supporter community, the role will drive a major, sustained growth in income.

As well as being an experienced strategist, the successful applicant will be a skilled hands-on practitioner. They will be able to write and present compelling fundraising communications to a range of audiences, including major donors, churches, trusts, and individuals. They will take the lead on growing our fundraising team, putting systems and processes in place to ensure our income goals are met.

That’s where you come in. You’re an enthusiast for the whole-life cause, a self-motivated leader with excellent people management and interpersonal skills, and capable of representing LICC at all levels. You have a proactive, innovative, and collaborative approach – and the commitment and energy to deliver significant and sustainable financial results.

We are seeking a capable and proactive Fundraiser, with relevant charity experience, who would like to take on more responsibility with their next career step. Supporting the Senior Fundraising Manager and the Business & Engagement Director you will help achieve an overall income target of £2m pa.

Your first-hand experience of charity fundraising will enable you to take direct responsibility for a number of accounts with your own fundraising goals. You will work within an organisation which consistently exceeds its targets and delivers significantly positive outcomes for young people.

This is an opportunity to influence and assist in MyBnk’s fundraising strategy and to generate the revenue to promote MyBnk Vision 2024, taking MyBnk fully national.

You will have a passion for the benefits of financial education. You will gain an appreciation of what it takes to ensure it works, consistently and at scale.

Inclusivity

MyBnk is dedicated to building an inclusive culture and working environment that promotes a sense of safety and belonging for our staff to feel supported to achieve their potential.

We know there is further to go and so we have established an Anti-Racism Committee, which works with the wider MyBnk team to ensure that we are listening, learning and constantly evolving to root out and tackle racism in all its forms.

MyBnk will not discriminate either directly or indirectly on the grounds of race, nationality, ethnic origin, gender, marital status, pregnancy, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, ethnicity, neurodiversity, cultural or religious beliefs. Reasonable adjustments to the recruitment process will be made to ensure that no applicant is disadvantaged because of their disability.

If you have experience in either digital marketing, virtual events or in-person events and want to help build a portfolio of international digital fundraising initiatives in a fantastic team we want to hear from you. If you also want to spread your wings and learn other types of fundraising then you might just be the person we're looking for.

This role will help lead The May 50K in several countries from Europe and the Americas, plus hopefully extending into the MENA and Australasia regions. In its second year the campaign has raised over £1m, and there is huge excitement about its potential. You will also be responsible for helping to design a wholly new digital event in partnership with MSIF members around the world.

As if that wasn't enough you'll also have the opportunity to develop your experience in foundation and corporate fundraising.
