Are you passionate about improving the lives of less advantaged young adults?

If you’re proactive, self-motivated and have an entrepreneurial spirit, along with exceptional relationship building skills and a track record of success, this is a wonderful opportunity to truly make your mark and change lives, by joining The Photography Foundation as our first Fundraising Manager. 

We are looking for a very special person to enable our charity to grow and change the lives of young adults who have dreams of using their creative talents to build a career.

The Photography Foundation was founded in 2019 with the mission to create pathways to professional photography for less advantaged and under-represented young adults in London, empowering them to launch a career in the creative industries.

For many young adults, a lack of financial resources, opportunities or industry connections mean that a career in photography is out of reach. We believe that talent and motivation should be more important than who you know or where you come from, and it's our mission to make this a reality.

Focusing on the cultivation, development and stewardship of major donors, corporates and trusts, you will raise the funds needed for us to expand our programmes and support more young adults. We envisage that when the environment allows you will also bring high profile events into our strategy.

Using your strong creative writing abilities and excellent communication skills you will connect emotionally with potential donors, creating and delivering presentations, proposals, case studies and applications.

You will have proven experience of developing long term income generating relationships with senior level corporate contacts, high net worth individuals, trustees of foundations, and high profile volunteers. Your understanding of the importance of stewardship as the key to developing these relationships will be integral to your success and ours.

We are an informal, very friendly, passionate and sociable team based in the heart of Shoreditch with wonderful office and studio facilities. You will have the flexibility to determine your full working pattern and location, although one day a week will need to be office-based.

The Photography Foundation  is supported and funded by its sister organisation a social enterprise Storytellers London:

Our work is based on person-to-person contact and spending time with people is our greatest gift. Motivated by their faith, our 10,000 volunteer members in England and Wales are committed to meaningful and long-term befriending in their local communities. They visit people in their homes, hospital, prison and care homes on a regular basis and offer sincere friendship and practical support such as food, furniture or financial help where needed and they organise trips and events for older and isolated people.

We’re looking for an outstanding Communications and Marketing Manager to lead and develop the communications and marketing function of a national disability charity.

In April, we embarked on our Transforming Lives strategy so we’re looking for an exceptional candidate who can play an important role in developing the communications strand. It’s an exciting time to join us as we look to expand our digital presence and resources to support more people affected by spinal cord injury.

What does the role involve?

The job is incredibly varied, and you will utilise a diverse skillset working on different projects across the organisation.

On a day-to-day basis, you will line manage the communications assistant and support them to deliver our e-newsletter programme and maintain our social media presence. You’ll also lead on the development of our website, act as a brand guardian for the organisation, increase Back Up’s profile, and deliver key publications and reports. The role will combine elements of both operational and strategic work, so it would suit a person who’s happy to work on a news story one day, while writing a board report the next.

It is a hugely rewarding opportunity to bring the fantastic impact of Back Up’s work to life – helping us raise more funds and support more people affected by spinal cord injury.

Is Back Up a good place to work?

Back Up has a great culture and is in the Third Sector Magazine’s top ten Best Charities to Work For in 2020. There are no silos – something reinforced by the charity’s size, a one-team ethos and socialising together. Back Up runs anonymous staff morale surveys and we consistently score well above the sector average on every question. Colleagues are professional, approachable, supportive and warm. You will work in a successful team at a leading charity with an international reputation in its field, working very close to the cause. Fun is one of our core values and it comes through in our work. There are sometimes friendly dogs in the office and a cake or two to enjoy!
