About Refugee Action

Refugee Action exists to help refugees and people seeking asylum who’ve survived some of the world’s worst regimes. After fleeing unimaginable horrors, they find themselves in a continued crisis in the UK, often homeless, living in poverty and unable to work. We provide these highly vulnerable, traumatised people with the support they need to live again with dignity. Then we help them build safe, happy and productive lives in the UK. Our vision is that refugees and people seeking asylum will be welcome in the UK. They will get justice, live free of poverty and be able to successfully rebuild their lives.

Our vision for a welcoming UK has never been more important. Last year almost 80 million people were displaced, the biggest refugee crisis since WWII. Add to this the most hostile Government we have ever faced, now’s the time to stand up for the rights of refugees.

It is a crucial time to be part of Refugee Action as we come to the end of our current strategy (2019-22) and embark on our next strategic period. We will do this through securing systemic change through our campaigns to change government policies, our direct services, and our work to strengthen and connect other service delivery organisations. You can read more about what we do here.

We will also continue with our commitment in our strategy to do far more to learn from and shift power to refugees and people seeking asylum. We are also striving to be an actively anti-racist organisation. Both commitments are a top priority for our new CEO as set out in his first public statement on Twitter here.

About the role

Never has there been a more important time to stand up for refugees in Britain and the current grant funding environment reflects this. Refugee Action has developed a range of strong, high value partnerships with funders like Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Comic Relief, as well as several significant National Lottery projects. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and enthusiastic Business Development Manager to join our grants team. Working with the team across the wider fundraising department, and colleagues across services and campaigns to identify and develop opportunities for future strategic partnerships, this role will play a pivotal role in diversifying and strengthening our grants partnership portfolio and income.

It is a fantastic time to join this growing team if you want to play a leading role in transforming a business development programme. With the whole charity developing a new three-year strategy over the coming year, there will be really exciting opportunities to take both existing and new funding partners on a journey and create fulfilling and valuable partnerships for both Refugee Action and grant makers. The Fundraising department has also established an Expert by Experience Fundraising Advisory Group, to consult people with lived experience and develop and shape partnership plans together. Providing high quality account management, research and strategic planning, the successful candidate will play an invaluable part in growing the Business Development programme at a vital time for Refugee Action.

To succeed in this role you will have:

• Demonstrable experience in relationship development and account management, with the skills and ability to cultivate prospective and existing funders to maximise funding opportunities.
• Strong communications skills, with experience of developing compelling funding proposals, reports and presentations for a variety of audiences.
• Proven track record in securing and managing significant grants (six or seven figures) from trust, lottery, and statutory donors.
• Experience of bringing together a range of internal stakeholders and operational teams to lead on cross-team projects and bid developments.
• Excellent numeracy skills and proven ability to develop budgets, monitor management accounts and understand funder finance reports.

Those with lived experience as a refugee are encouraged to apply.

Head of Fundraising

Could you lead the development and delivery of our fundraising strategy, have a lasting impact on the issues surrounding gambling-related harm and play a leading role in preventing the unnecessary loss of young lives?

Location: Flexible with the offer of a budget to pay for a hot desk in a convenient location or to work from a current office location in London or Manchester.

Appointment of a Head of Fundraising

Gambling with Lives (GwL) has had a remarkable impact on the discourse surrounding the risks of gambling since it was established in 2018. Prior to GwL’s contribution there was little to no mainstream recognition of the link between gambling and suicide. The charity’s founders have become central to the case for gambling reform and were instrumental in campaigning for the review of gambling legislation in the UK which was announced at the end of 2020.

The campaign and the charity’s broader development are now at a critical and exciting juncture, which makes the role of Head of Fundraising a fantastic opportunity.

The purpose of this newly created role is to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy for the long-term sustainability of the charity which will allow it to grow its impact through the campaign for change and through the development of its programmes across areas including family support, research, education and treatment. 

The financial position of the charity is strong, having received a significant donation in lieu of a regulatory settlement (fine) levied against a gambling operator in 2020, however the ambitions of the charity are such that new and sustainable income is required. The challenge for the successful candidate will be to find and develop sources of income that are free from the influence of the gambling industry. One of GwL’s values is independence from the gambling industry which it will resolutely defend and promote in others.

The work of developing the strategy will involve scanning the funding landscape to find sources of income that fit the charity’s values, goals and ambitions. The charity’s leadership believe these will likely lie within corporate giving as well as trusts and foundations with interests in the charity’s programmes (mental health, family support, research, education and treatment).

We are looking for someone with a significant track record of raising funds from multiple income streams, including government and public bodies, high net worth individuals, corporates and trusts, foundations or other funding bodies as well as experience of growing and developing an organisation’s fundraising and income generation capability.  The role holder will work as part of a senior management team and will become an important advocate in their own right. They will take a leadership role in steering the charity’s strategy and development.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a start-up environment, and to create a role with the backing of a charity that has substantial resources for its stage of development.  We are looking for a Head of Fundraising who shares our passion and determination for the work we are doing. If you want to play a leading part in shaping the future of GwL, then we would be delighted to hear from you.

Please download the candidate information pack for further information before you apply. Application is by CV and a covering letter which should indicate why you are interested in applying for the role and how you meet the role requirements.  The role is permanent and ideally full time, however flexible and part-time working will be considered for the right candidate.

We want you to have every opportunity to demonstrate your skills, ability and potential; please contact us if you require any assistance or adjustment so that we can help with making the application process work for you.

The closing date for applications is Friday 6th August but applications will be considered as they come in so please do apply at your earliest convenience.  Interviews will take place through August.

We would look favourably upon candidates who are experts by experience of either gambling related harm or suicide.  GwL is fully committed to equality of opportunity and diversity to ensure that we reflect the full breadth of the people we aim to support. We warmly welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates
