Fundraising Manager

£45,000 FTE | £27,000 actual salary
22.5 hours per week | Part-time | Hybrid – Ilford, Essex

Ready to take the lead and make your mark?

The Dream Factory creates life-changing dreams for children and young adults aged 3–25 who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, severe disabilities and serious illnesses.

Every dream we grant creates something incredibly precious: an experience to look forward to, a chance for families to spend special time together and memories that can last a lifetime.

We are now looking for an experienced and relationship-focused Fundraising Manager to help us grow our income, strengthen our supporter relationships and enable us to grant even more dreams.

This is more than an opportunity to manage an existing fundraising programme. You'll have the chance to help shape the future of fundraising at The Dream Factory.

Working just 22.5 hours across three days a week, this could be an ideal opportunity for an experienced fundraiser looking for greater flexibility alongside the chance to take real ownership of a fundraising function.

Could this be your next step?

You may already be a Fundraising Manager, or you could be an experienced Senior Fundraiser, Corporate Fundraiser, Community Fundraiser or Partnerships Fundraiser who's ready to take the next step and lead a fundraising function.

You don't need to be an expert in every area of fundraising.

We're looking for someone who knows how to build strong relationships, spot opportunities, turn ideas into income and inspire others to support a cause.

You'll be someone who enjoys thinking strategically but is equally happy rolling up your sleeves and making things happen.

What you'll be doing

Working closely with our small and committed team and Board of Trustees, you will take the lead on developing our fundraising and building sustainable income for the charity.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• shape and deliver our fundraising plans and priorities
• develop new corporate partnerships and build relationships with local and national businesses
• grow our community fundraising and individual giving
• develop fundraising campaigns, events and new income opportunities
• nurture existing supporters and develop long-term relationships
• identify opportunities to increase and diversify income
• manage and support colleagues involved in fundraising activity
• develop the systems and processes needed to support effective fundraising
• monitor fundraising performance and provide updates to the Board
• bring your own ideas, experience and creativity to the role.

This is a hands-on position. We are looking for someone who is excited by the opportunity to both lead fundraising and get involved in delivering it.

You won't be doing it alone

We know that asking one person to “lead all fundraising” can sound like a big ask – particularly in a part-time role.

That's why it's important to us that candidates understand that you will be joining an established charity with a committed staff team, supportive Board, existing supporters and fundraising relationships.

You'll also have external support for our trusts and foundations fundraising, allowing you to focus your time on developing other areas of income and building relationships that can help The Dream Factory grow.

You'll have the freedom to bring new ideas, test different approaches and help us decide where our greatest fundraising opportunities lie.

Who we're looking for

We're much more interested in what you can do than where you've worked.

You'll probably have experience of generating income through one or more areas of fundraising, rather than necessarily having worked across every income stream.

We'd particularly love to hear from you if you:

• have experience of successfully generating fundraising income
• are confident building relationships with supporters, businesses and partners
• can identify and develop new fundraising opportunities
• are comfortable taking ownership and working independently
• can balance planning with hands-on delivery
• communicate confidently and can inspire people to support a cause
• are organised and able to manage competing priorities
• enjoy working as part of a small team where everyone contributes
• share our determination to create extraordinary experiences for children, young adults and their families.

Experience of corporate, community or individual giving would be particularly valuable, but we don't expect you to arrive with experience of everything.

If you have strong fundraising experience, great relationship-building skills and the ambition to step up and lead, we'd encourage you to apply.

Why join The Dream Factory?

Because in a small charity, you can see the difference you make.

You'll have genuine ownership of fundraising and the opportunity to shape how it develops.

You'll work directly with a passionate team and Board, build relationships with supporters and partners and see the direct connection between the income you help generate and the dreams we're able to make come true.

This role offers:

• £45,000 FTE salary (c£27,000 actual)
• 22.5 hours per week across three days
• hybrid working
• genuine autonomy and the opportunity to shape fundraising strategy
• the chance to develop your experience as a fundraising leader
• an opportunity to make a visible and lasting difference within a small charity.

For someone who has been waiting for the opportunity to take the lead, introduce their own ideas and build something, this could be that opportunity.

About The Dream Factory

The Dream Factory grants dreams to children and young adults aged 3–25 with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, severe disabilities and serious illnesses.

Our dreams are about much more than one special day. They give children and young people something positive to focus on, create opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach and give families precious experiences and memories together.

We are a small charity with big ambitions and our ability to reach more families depends on growing sustainable fundraising income.

That's where you come in.

Interested?

If you're an experienced fundraiser looking for a flexible role where you can have genuine influence or you're ready to take the next step in your fundraising career – we'd love to hear from you.

Please don't be put off if you don't meet every single point in the job description. If you believe you have the fundraising experience, relationship-building skills and enthusiasm to make a difference at The Dream Factory, we'd encourage you to apply.

You will bring excellent communication and relationship-management skills, with the ability to work confidently with academics, clinicians, funders, people with lived experience, senior organisational leaders and colleagues across different professional backgrounds. You will be organised, proactive and able to exercise sound judgement in a complex and fast-moving programme environment.

About the team

 You’ll join our ambitious Philanthropy team, working with high-net-worth individuals, charitable foundations and other influential supporters to secure transformational investment in the research, innovation, capital and patient experience projects at the heart of GOSH Charity’s work.

The team secures a significant number of £1m+ gifts and is at the forefront of delivering some of the Charity’s most ambitious fundraising priorities. 

This is a particularly exciting time to join us. Alongside completing the £300m Build It. Beat It. appeal to help deliver the world-leading Children’s Cancer Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital, we are shaping the next chapter of philanthropy fundraising.

Our new strategy is centred around two pillars – Best Chance and Best Childhood – which will form the foundation of an exciting new fundraising appeal. Our Philanthropy team will play a central role in bringing this ambition to life and securing the transformational support that helps give every seriously ill child the best chance, and the best childhood, possible.

The creation of these two Principal Philanthropy Lead roles represents an important investment in the team’s future: increasing our leadership capacity, strengthening day-to-day leadership and creating clearer development and succession pathways as our programme grows.
