Job Description

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice helps babies, children and young people who are seriously unwell, and their families, make the most of every day. The charity aspires to become a centre of clinical excellence for children with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

We’ve been on a major upward trajectory in recent years, with more children being supported, more major hospitals being partnered with and more supporters donating. We’ve transformed from being an enthusiastic start-up delivering care in the community, to a serious player delivering major impact both in the community and at our state-of-the-art hospice building, The Ark, opened in 2019.

Philanthropy, which covers both Major Donor and Corporate fundraising streams, is pivotal to Noah’s Ark – typically accounting for around 50% of the charity’s overall income. This is an area of real expertise for Noah’s Ark so the successful candidate will gain invaluable in-house training and support, working as part of a high performing and super supportive team, ready for its next exciting growth phase.

The new Philanthropy Fundraiser will work closely with the Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager and the Head of Philanthropy and Partnerships, with guidance from the Director of Fundraising & Communications, to manage and develop the Major Donor, Mid-Value and Corporate pipelines, along with instrumental work on high-value campaigns and events. This includes our annual matched-funding campaign and The Winter Ball - which last year raised £2.1m and £415,000 respectively. The post-holder will be key in taking the Philanthropy programme to the next level, securing new Corporate Partnerships and increasing multi-year gifts.
