Philanthropy Manager (Yorkshire or East Midlands)

£24,000 to £33,301 per annum, plus £500 home working allowance

1 Full time, 35 hours per week

Home based in either Yorkshire (with easy access to Leeds/Bradford) or East Midlands (with easy access to Nottingham), requiring the ability to travel throughout the region. 

The NSPCC is keen to build its major donor fundraising in the above regions and so a rare opportunity has arisen to join a successful team of high value donor fundraisers, responsible for raising the millions of pounds needed to continue the NSPCC’s fight for every childhood.

The Philanthropy team is part of the NSPCC’s Major Donors department. We focus upon high level, individual donors and are responsible for securing major gifts ranging from four to seven figures. Our success is founded upon building high quality and enduring relationships between the NSPCC and those with the capacity to make transformational gifts.

The Philanthropy team has an annual income target of c£3.3m within the Major Donors department’s target of c£9m; and we aim to significantly increase this over the coming years.

An ideal position for an energetic deal-maker, you will be responsible for stewarding some of the NSPCC’s most significant existing supporters but a key focus will be on generating new prospects, building lasting relationships and making asks for substantial financial gifts. This post involves close collaboration with a broad range of internal NSPCC colleagues and external stakeholders.

You will…

• have great people skills and the personal stature to be able to operate effectively within our audience stream. 
• be an excellent relationships manager, highly proactive, self-motivated and organised. 
• have the personal resilience necessary to work in a new business environment.
• be comfortable with targets and able to deal with competing priorities.
• enjoy working collaboratively with other colleagues, teams and departments. 
• have first class written skills, able to tell our story in a compelling way
• have the ability and willingness to travel independently throughout the region.

Above all, you will relish the task of getting out, identifying new prospects and making the ask.

Experience of working with high value donors (particularly individuals) or clients, and proven success in generating new business and achieving financial targets are highly desirable.

This type of role rarely becomes available outside London, so this is a great opportunity for the right candidate, for whom we will consider flexible working arrangements.

We're proud to be heading up the search party for one of the UK's leading children's charities who are looking for a Philanthropy Manager covering the North West patch. This is an established patch within a successful, growing philanthropy team and a brilliant opportunity to gain national charity experience working to support some of the region's most vulnerable children.

Home-based with tons of flexibility, it's a grown-up culture open to suggested working patterns with a charity that understands the importance of life and family-friendly working. Condensed hours, a 9-day fortnight and 4 days per week are all possible.

You'll be working with high net worth individuals to secure major gifts across a wide ranging portfolio including some established 7-figure relationships. Working closely with existing major donors and colleagues across corporate and community fundraising teams, there is plenty of opportunity to open up this network and make new connections, as well as using your creative business development head to find untrodden paths.

Ideally, we're looking for a major gifts expert, although this role could work equally well with a talented corporate fundraiser or a candidate from the commercial sector with experience of high-net worth individuals. You're used to operating at six-figure level with senior stakeholders and have the gravitas to steward key donors strategically.

Whatever your background, you're highly motivated and target driven with exceptional stewardship and relationship management skills who is comfortable in making significant asks. This isn't the job for a maverick: you'll need to be a collaborative team player who understands that a sharing and supportive culture yields better results and that, sometimes, a colleague will be better placed to manage a relationship than you.

If this is you, please send a copy of your CV to Charity People's North West consultant, Amelia Lee, for lots more detail.

Closing date: 9am on 1st November

We match charity needs with skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

A large national children's charity are looking for a brilliant new Philanthropy Manager to help build up excellent relationships with donors across the North West and Cumbria. It is important that the existing very strong North-West portfolio is retained and the promising potential for further growth is captured. The organisation views major giving as a potential growth area and is therefore keen to attract a talented and ambitious fundraiser to take their income generation in the region to the next level.

This role is fantastic for excellent relationship fundraisers. This candidate will be contributing to the Fundraising division's purpose of maximising income from supporters and, crucially, potential supporters by carrying out effective fundraising activity. It is balance of looking after existing donors, as well as fanning out and seeking new potential leads too.

Although covering all of the North West (Cheshire, Merseyside, Great Manchester, Lancashire and Cumbria), the post will ideally be located with easy access to Manchester and Liverpool where the organisation's service provision, individual wealth and existing high value activity are all strongest.
