This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our friendly, experienced Grants Partnerships team and would be perfect for someone looking to gain more experience in international development fundraising from trusts and foundations with a focus on child protection and the SDGs. We are looking for availability to start towards the end of 2021 and will be offering this role on a 12 month basis. One of our team members recently said this about working in our Grants team:

“Working in the Grants Team at Hope and Homes for Children is a fantastic experience, and one which offers great opportunities for developing your skills, knowledge, and career within Fundraising and International Development. The team are highly skilled, welcoming, and collaborative, and this combined with strong and experienced leadership, ensures you’re always supported to perform at your best.

You will develop new and existing relationships with grants makers, put forward compelling proposals, produce reports and updates, monitor income for your own portfolio and ensure grant making activity is accurately captured in our database.

Fundraising Manager Requirements:

You will need knowledge of international development and the grants fundraising environment and have strong communication skills and an eye for detail. You will be naturally collaborative and able to manage a variable workload with tight deadlines.

About Hope and Homes for Children:

Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.

Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of sexual and physical abuse, as well as extreme neglect.

Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.

You will be joining a brave, can-do organisation and an ambitious, collaborative and multiskilled team. You’ll be encouraged to think and act big and you’ll be mandated and supported to do what’s needed to achieve our mission. You’ll work with dedicated, passionate champions who are ready to take bold steps to inspire change - advocating for our cause, engaging individuals, communities and organisations across the globe in the foundational importance of family love for children. As the world reels from the impact of Covid, there is increased risk of families experiencing the poverty, lack of support and desperation that drives children into orphanages. There is vital work to be done in ensuring this does not happen. If you believe every child belongs in a family, join us as we consign orphanages to history.

Location: London or Salisbury, with a high degree of flexibility and home working options.

Contract Type: Interim – maternity cover (12 months)

Ref: 103 798

We are recruiting a Fundraising Manager to identify and secure new funding from charitable trusts and foundations, and help ensure the sustainability of our work.

What you’ll be doing

You will be responsible for building and managing a range of multi-year, five and six-figure grants, working with some of the UK’s leading charitable organisations. You will research and target those whose criteria match our aims and activities, coordinate your pipeline with other members of the trusts and statutory team and ensure our work is sustainable and impactful.

Based in our development department, you will also work closely with programme managers and other members of staff across the organisation, including the senior management team.

What we’re looking for

You will be passionate about our work and support our values and ethos. You will be skilled at building new relationships with charitable trusts, foundations and other institutional funders to secure both single and multi-year grants, and have experience of managing and increasing grant giving among a portfolio of existing funders. You will be used to working to demanding income targets and able to manage multiple projects, identify conflicting demands and establish priorities to meet objectives.

Why our work is so vital

Poor literacy and resulting inequality is not inevitable. The National Literacy Trust improves the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of those who need it most, giving them the best possible chance of success.

We make society fairer. Poor literacy creates social and economic inequality. The one in six adults in the UK with poor literacy earn less, are less likely to vote and more likely to experience health inequalities.

We enable social mobility. A child without literacy skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they will be locked out of the job market. The pattern is intergenerational and starts at birth.

Our work is targeted at communities with the highest levels of disadvantage and the lowest levels of literacy. We support thousands of schools and early years settings, bringing in wonderful partners like the Premier League and the nation’s best publishers who bring literacy alive.

Homebased in the North West

SSAFA’s regional fundraising team, operating across the UK, supporting 90 Branches, are proud to announce this role as part of their strategic growth and ambitious development plans.

About the role

This is a brand new fundraising opportunity that covers a wide range of counties in the North West region (Lancashire, Merseyside, Cheshire, Manchester and Cumbria). Supported by the Regional Fundraising Manager, this role is fundamental in developing, supporting and championing new and existing fundraising initiatives to increase income generation in this area whilst raising SSAFA’s profile. This initiative includes (but is not limited to) trusts and foundations, companies, membership organisations, sports, education and government bodies, high-net worth donors, community-based partnerships, and grassroots fundraising through events and activities.

SSAFA is entering into an exciting period of strategic development within regional fundraising. This may open up a range of opportunities for career development within the team and the organisation. You will be the first of several Regional Fundraising Officers being recruited throughout the UK.

There will be an occasional need to travel across the UK and to work evenings and weekends at key events.

About the team

You will join a small, well-established and dedicated team who cover the whole of the UK, working with 90 Branches and Service committees. With regular team meetings and a variety of communication mediums you will be given ongoing support, training and mentoring throughout. We are a remote team and well connected to all colleagues. This supports and drives our determination and success.

About you

We are looking for an exceptional candidate, who thrives on challenge. A determined, highly motivated individual, with a track record of securing significant funds through a variety of income streams. A natural communicator with proven success in working with and developing volunteers to support this growth. A confident networker, able to represent the charity to external stakeholders, build relationships and reputation, communicate effectively across the region whilst working from home.

About SSAFA

SSAFA, the Armed Forces charity, has been providing practical, emotional, and financial support to our Forces and their families since 1885. Last year our teams of volunteers and employees helped more than 79,000 people in need, from Second World War veterans to those who have served in more recent conflicts or are still currently serving, and their families.

SSAFA understands that behind every uniform is a person. We are here for that person – any time they need us, in any way they need us, for as long as they need us.

Diversity and Inclusion at SSAFA

SSAFA exists to support a diverse range of beneficiaries within the armed forces community, and we believe diversity within our teams is key to ensuring we can deliver our services effectively. We thrive on differences and believe it is critical to our success as a worldwide charity. SSAFA is proud to be an equal opportunity workplace that seeks to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people from a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We therefore encourage applications from all genders, races, religions, ages and sexual orientations, as well as parents, veterans, people living with disabilities, and any other groups that could bring diverse perspectives to our business.

SSAFA is committed to using the Disclosure & Barring Service to ensure we, as an employer, safeguard those we serve.

No agencies please. Any unsolicited submissions from agencies will be accepted as a direct application from the candidate and no fees will be payable.

Are you a superb strategist, passionate about sustainable food in Bucks?

Buckinghamshire Food Partnership CIO (BFP) is a newly-established charity. We believe that all people in Buckinghamshire should have access to healthy, affordable, sustainably produced and culturally appropriate food. The food system is both complex and interconnected, so we convene, support and facilitate local groups to test collaborative initiatives and forge new ways of working. We bring together communities, businesses, charities and local authorities to realise a more sustainable and just local food system across the county.

This is an exciting time to join BFP. Having recently gained charitable status, we now need someone to help us translate our charitable objectives into a bold and actionable strategic plan. You will work collaboratively with our trustees, steering group, and other stakeholders to address some of today’s most pressing social, economic and environmental issues related to food. Using the Sustainable Food Places model, you will identify and build relationships with local partners across Buckinghamshire who share our vision for a better food system.

Thank you to the Rothschild Foundation for providing the initial three-year funding for this role.
