Help revitalise the philanthropy stream at this well recognised charity by leading on major donor giving.
It’s a hugely exciting time to be joining the Philanthropy team of this health/medical charity, as they look to expand the team with the support and guidance of a relatively new CEO and Director of Finance and an engaged and dynamic SMT and Trustee board.
This is a new role, helping to drive a renewed energy in philanthropic giving by leading on day to day fundraising from individuals who give between £5,000 and £1m, leaving the Head of Philanthropy and Special Events able to step away from BAU to focus on strategic direction.
Already this calendar year, the team has raised £400,000. With a large event just completed, the charity is looking for someone to engage and develop relationships that are in their infancy following this event, as well as manage a portfolio that is strong but needs to be re-engaged.
You will be joining a team of three – Head of Philanthropy, Team Assistant and Events Officer. While there is currently no line management for this role, within six months you could be expected to recruit and manage a junior member of staff as well as help mentor a prospect researcher, so there is huge room for professional growth.
