They will lead all DEC Philanthropy and Partnerships activity, encompassing corporate partnerships, major donors and trusts both in and out of appeal, to help ensure that maximum income is received for the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The majority of day to day work and focus is in the corporate partnerships space and, after a recent review, the DEC will be rolling out a new partnerships framework in the coming months. As such, it is a very exciting time for this new manager to be joining the organisation to steward and build on our existing £multi-million partnerships portfolio while also helping to take DEC appeals to new heights. In future years, we will be undertaking a similar review exploring and expanding our high value philanthropy offer and programme. The successful candidate will be the key member of staff leading this review. This is unique, exciting and demanding role operating at the heart of national humanitarian fundraising efforts in the UK.

About the DEC

The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a unique and dynamic membership organisation which comprises 14 of the UK’s leading humanitarian agencies: ActionAid, Action Against Hunger, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, CARE International, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide (UK), Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam, Plan International UK, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision. 

Since it was founded in 1963, the DEC has run over 70 fundraising appeals and raised more than £1.4bn to help save lives and protect livelihoods in disaster-affected communities around the world.

The DEC launches appeals when there is a humanitarian emergency of such magnitude to warrant a national UK response.  DEC fundraising appeals benefit from unique corporate partnerships through our Rapid Response Network and the combined expertise of our member agencies, resulting in wide reaching appeals across high profile TV, radio and an increasing number of digital channels.

The majority of DEC funds are raised over an intensive two-week period following a disaster.  Appeal funds are specifically for overseas humanitarian work and are normally spent over a two or three-year response period.  An important part of the DEC’s remit is in learning, accountability and sharing information.

The DEC Secretariat is funded by contributions from its member agencies and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the DEC.  There are currently 23 staff members and a small number of dedicated volunteers, working together to promote the values of dynamism, openness, collaboration, empowerment and innovation.

Help build a philanthropic programme, covering major donors, trusts and special events.

This Foundation comprises of four schools, which comprises pre-preparatory, preparatory and senior schools, as well an on-site international school. The Foundation educates boys and girls from 3-18, seeking to equip them for life, both now and in the future. As a foundation, they seek to instil a love of learning which will last a lifetime, while balancing this with a readiness to embrace change.

Since the beginning of 2019, the development team has undergone significant change, with the appointment of a dynamic, driven director who is determined to breathe new life into a substantial development portfolio which has been largely dormant. A new chief executive starts in January so this role is an excellent opportunity for the right candidate to make a significant impact on strategy and growth, working closely with the senior leadership team.

While the Foundation has successfully raised over £700k in the last financial year, the main focus of this role will be to go ‘back to basics’ and help to build a successful philanthropic programme from the ground up, reengaging and engaging key external stakeholders as well as teaching internal stakeholders the benefit of a strong development programme.

In the recent past, the Foundation has received a one-off gift of £1m, and it is relationships like this that need to be reignited to support a number of capital campaigns and bursaries. Bursaries are one of the key elements of the development programme, as the Foundation looks to increase the number of bursaries offered to children whose families cannot afford the fees, allowing them access to an excellent education and opportunities that otherwise would be unavailable to them.

Job specification

• Lay the strategic foundations of the development programme and grow income from major donors (anyone who can give £10k+), trusts (this income stream is less established) and alumni to ensure successful capital and bursary projects.
• Drive the strategic engagement of funders, maximising historic support, organisational intelligence and key stakeholders.
• Work with both Foundation staff as well as individual school staff to build a ‘best practice’ approach to fundraising, demonstrating the importance of a methodical, professional approach.
• Work with third party agencies to help develop fundraising materials, demonstrating the breadth of Mill Hill’s work and legacy.

Person specification

• An ambitious fundraiser, keen to gain unrivalled experience reinvigorating a lapsed programme of development and grow income in a small, well-organised and established charity.
• A candidate who has experience of growing giving circles, management of alumni and engagement events, creating a strong donor journey.
• An externally focused relationship builder, motivated by generating new income by engaging new funders and developing excellent proposals, focusing on strategy and quality rather than quantity, with an initial focus on historic supporters, progressing to a more new business development focus once established within the Foundation.
• An experienced professional who thrives on autonomy but is also looking for a supportive, positive culture with plenty of opportunities for career growth as well as excellent staff benefits.

In the first instance please send me an up-to-date CV.

Closing date for applications is 16:00 on Friday 10 January.
