This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a new, one-year pilot focused on addressing the factors which prevent effective early intervention in the borough and lead to high numbers of disabled people reaching crisis and destitution.

You will work directly with individuals referred by local agencies, taking time to understand their situation, identify root causes, and build personalised plans that connect them to the right support. This role involves ‘handholding’ – a flexible and responsive approach that adapts to each person’s needs to help them move towards long-term stability and independence.

You’ll be part of a small, committed project team aiming to strengthen early intervention in the borough. Your role will include working closely with referring partners, signposting to services, and contributing to data and research to help us understand what works and why.

• Build strong links with referral partners and support the wider project team.
• Follow safeguarding procedures and contribute to a safe, effective service.

What You’ll Bring:

• A good understanding of the issues and the systems affecting those at risk of poverty. We do not expect advice-level experience, and this is not an adviser role.
• Experience of working on a 121 basis with disadvantaged, vulnerable or excluded people and have knowledge of local/national advice.
• Experience of working with a variety of stakeholders, preferably within the voluntary sector, including having worked within a team of staff and volunteers.

EMpower is a global philanthropic foundation that partners with organisations across 15 emerging market countries who are focused on solutions that integrate the voices and experiences of marginalised young people, especially girls, aged between 10–24 years. We provide grants and capacity building support to local organisations working to strengthen education and livelihoods of young people across Africa, Asia, Latin America and Turkey.

EMpower’s fundraising proposition is proven and highly differentiated – we invest in local partner organisations for 10 years; a long-term approach that dramatically improved outcomes whilst also demonstrating short term progress. Significantly, we have the unique advantage that our fundraising, administration and management costs are covered by our Board of Directors, which means that every penny donated goes to where it is needed most.

This proposition and our recent investment into fundraising means that our income has nearly doubled in the last 5 years. We have attracted new large-scale corporate donors on top of maintaining our traditional areas of relationship-based fundraising success, including HNWI from the finance sector. Yet we know we are still only scratching the surface of what’s possible. 

This new position is a response to the increasing focus on events as a key part of our fundraising and stewardship strategy. Our flagship Annual Dinner is our main fundraiser; last year we smashed our targets and raised over £2m. With this added post in our team we are confident that we can not only replicate but increase that growth. This role will take responsibility for all UK events, and resulting relationships with a small portfolio of major donors.   

When thinking about the profile of individuals who would be well suited to this role and who will help bring our events and donor stewardship in the UK to the next level, it is likely you will have consolidated events experience, a talent for building relationships and a proven track record in securing some funds, ideally through relationship-driven fundraising activity.

This is a pivotal role within our fundraising team, with shared responsibility for generating the engagement and income that drives EMpower’s strategy and vision—a future in which young people living at the margins have the opportunities, skills, and confidence to transform their lives and communities

Director of Development

Latymer Foundation at Hammersmith

Location: West London

Salary: No less than £95,000, plus flexibility where needed to ensure that the School is able to attract leading professionals to this important role.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious Development professional to join the Latymer Foundation in this important Senior Management role. With the full backing of the Head, Governors and the Latymer community, and using the momentum of recent campaign success and anniversary celebrations, the new Director of Development will be ideally placed to draw up a roadmap for the fundraising and alumni engagement strategy for the next decade.

The Latymer Foundation runs Latymer Upper School and Latymer Prep in Hammersmith, alongside delivering a wide range of partnership initiatives with some 250 local schools, charities and other not-for-profit organisations.

Latymer Upper School is a school like no other. A vibrant co-educational day school which achieves extremely high standards, Latymer aims to develop young people with the necessary dispositions and skills to be a lifelong learner, a global citizen and successful in adult life. Through the fundraising, alumni and community engagement activities driven by the Latymer Foundation Office, the Upper School is able to provide significant financial support for talented students to access a world-class education, thus being a true engine for social mobility. 

The Latymer Foundation’s Inspiring Minds campaign launched in 2017 with the aim of funding bursaries for as many as one in four Upper School pupils. The campaign successfully raised £50 million, enabling Latymer Upper to more than double its bursary provision and its endowment. The Foundation’s 400th anniversary in 2024 gave rise to a further opportunity to engage the Latymer community, paving the path for significant future philanthropy.

Reporting to the Head of Latymer Upper, and leading a team of 12, the new Director of Development will be a first-class relationship builder and manager, motivated by the School’s ethos for excellence and inclusivity. As an outstanding leader with a proven track record of developing and implementing philanthropic income generation strategies, confidence in your own ability to operate at this strategic level will be underpinned by your demonstrable experience of negotiating and securing high-level relationships for the organisations you’ve represented. 

Key to your success in this role is your inspirational, inclusive and collaborative leadership approach, your experience of motivating high-performing teams, and your innovative and flexible approach to achieving outstanding results. Your credibility, pragmatism and ability to show good judgement, will inspire those around you and enable you to take the team and Foundation’s activity to the next level.  If you believe you have the skills, aptitude and commitment to lead the Latymer Foundation’s team with drive and ambition, and are committed to the School’s values and aims, we would love to hear from you.

A further Equality and Diversity Committee has recently been formed from our student population. We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. Acknowledging a lack of ethnic diversity within our staff community, we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates for this role. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process.

Do you have experience in generating and sustaining charitable giving from individuals and nurturing a Friends scheme in the Arts education sector? Are you passionate about choral singing and its power to change the lives of children and young people and can you successfully advocate on our behalf to potential major donors?

The primary focus for the new role is to generate sustainable charitable giving from individuals, maintaining and growing our Friends memberships and developing significant income from major donors. We will also welcome input on stewardship of trusts and foundations if this is also your area of expertise.

We are a leading choral singing organisation and run residential summer courses for children and young people. Our artistic director, Ralph Allwood, founded the organisation 45 years ago, since when over 10,000 young people have benefited from our life-changing courses.

We want to secure the future of the organisation and increase the number of students we can support by significantly growing our individual  giving.

We are looking for an experienced fundraiser to work up to 2 days per week on a freelance basis to help us move up a gear or two in terms of our fundraising, specifically to develop private giving from our extensive alumni network and the many successful individuals who feel music education at a young age made them the person they are today.
