The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) seeks an exceptional candidate for the role of Philanthropy & Partnerships Manager. They will lead all DEC Philanthropy and Partnerships activity, encompassing corporate partnerships, major donors and trusts both in and out of appeal, to help ensure that maximum income is received for the world’s worst humanitarian crises. The majority of day to day work and focus is in the corporate partnerships space and, after a recent review, the DEC will be rolling out a new partnerships framework in the coming months. As such, it is a very exciting time for this new manager to be joining the organisation to steward and build on our existing £multi-million partnerships portfolio while also helping to take DEC appeals to new heights. In future years, we will be undertaking a similar review exploring and expanding our high value philanthropy offer and programme. The successful candidate will be the key member of staff leading this review. This is unique, exciting and demanding role operating at the heart of national humanitarian fundraising efforts in the UK.
About the DEC
The Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is a unique and dynamic membership organisation which comprises 14 of the UK’s leading humanitarian agencies: ActionAid, Action Against Hunger, Age International, British Red Cross, CAFOD, CARE International, Christian Aid, Concern Worldwide (UK), Islamic Relief Worldwide, Oxfam, Plan International UK, Save the Children, Tearfund and World Vision.
Since it was founded in 1963, the DEC has run over 70 fundraising appeals and raised more than £1.4bn to help save lives and protect livelihoods in disaster-affected communities around the world.
The DEC launches appeals when there is a humanitarian emergency of such magnitude to warrant a national UK response. DEC fundraising appeals benefit from unique corporate partnerships through our Rapid Response Network and the combined expertise of our member agencies, resulting in wide reaching appeals across high profile TV, radio and an increasing number of digital channels.
The majority of DEC funds are raised over an intensive two-week period following a disaster. Appeal funds are specifically for overseas humanitarian work and are normally spent over a two or three-year response period. An important part of the DEC’s remit is in learning, accountability and sharing information.
The DEC Secretariat is funded by contributions from its member agencies and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the DEC. There are currently 23 staff members and a small number of dedicated volunteers, working together to promote the values of dynamism, openness, collaboration, empowerment and innovation.

Beloved international charity is seeking a talented fundraiser to drive partnership growth, funding life changing appeals worldwide.
We are looking for the right person to join an established and thriving team, taking responsibility for their amazing work with corporates and some high value donors. The also role includes line management of an officer.
This charity generates millions of pounds to fund large appeals. There is a huge buzz across the charity, lots of press and media, and an abundance of interest from donors and corporates to get involved.
During times when no appeal is needed, the charity focuses on developing its strategy, building long term relationships and focusing on proactive outreach to potential partners.
This is an incredibly varied role, with hugely tangible results from their work as the charity saves the lives of communities caught in the world’s worst disasters.
The main focus is on corporate fundraising and generating income for the charity’s worldwide appeals (about 70% of the role).
There is a fantastic portfolio of corporate relationships that help to raise money at times of need. One such partnership raised over £1.5m for the last appeal. They did this by temporarily rebranding their app and website, offering their customers the opportunity to donate at the point of sale, among other activities.
The fantastic relationships the team have built with companies means they are very successful with employee engagement, as the appeals create an ‘act now’ environment for people to get involved.
The corporate activity of the role is very well rounded, with equal importance put on developing existing partnerships and on identifying and forging new partnerships.
The secondary focus is on high value donors (encompassing major donor, trust and foundation activity).
The organisation has been evaluating and researching fundraising activity with an 18-month audit, finishing in the new year. They have identified a strong potential to engage with high value donors to continue the overall development of appeal income. You will be involved in the final stages of implementing a plan for this, starting next spring.
What are they looking for?
The Head of Fundraising is very keen to hear from candidates with a few years’ experience who are looking to step up into a bigger role, or from great philanthropy/partnerships managers looking for a new challenge.
They are looking for someone with a real passion for the cause, a talented and proactive relationship builder, a good communicator, and someone who is looking to develop into a senior/director-level partnership fundraiser.
The current person in post is a testament to the development of the role, as they are now moving on to a director-level position at a new charity.
They are offering £45,000, flexible working hours, and time off in lieu when helping out during the appeals.
Closing date for the role is Monday 6 January.

Able Child Africa works with partner organisations in Africa to protect, educate and empower children with disabilities so they are able to fulfil their potential.
We are a small, dynamic charity, entrepreneurial in style and collaborative in process. We are values led, passionate about our partner approach and driven by the beneficiaries of our work. We are in a great position, demonstrating consistent growth over the last 5 years and have just completed a full re-brand of the organisation. We are ready to use this new look and strong messaging to grow our supporter base and increase our income.
We are looking for a passionate, dynamic and motivated individual to come and join us to lead our philanthropy and partnerships fundraising activities; cultivating corporate and major donor giving, building new partnerships and devising new creative strategies for engagement.
We understand the need for time to see a return on the investment in this position. That is why we have a fundraising plan in place for 2020/21, with a series of events planned that will allow us to deliver our fundraising targets and allow time to plan for the future.
You will come in to deliver our planned income activities for the first year, overseeing our existing fundraising events and partnerships. This will allow time to develop networks and opportunities before you go on to help build and deliver Able Child Africa’s long term fundraising strategy and transform our income portfolio.
You will bring your skills in relationship management from whatever experience you have acquired and use it to build a sustainable income stream for a values driven organisation. You might have 3-5 years’ experience of securing unrestricted income from high net worth individuals or corporate partners. Equally, you might have transferable skills and experience from other roles in other sectors. Or you may also be ready to step up from your current role and keen to show us you are ready for the challenge.
Working closely with our small team (one direct line management report), you will have the opportunity to be involved in the running of a small organisation, reporting directly to the CEO and inputting into the Resources Sub-Committee of our Board. This is a great opportunity to take on leadership responsibilities, contributing to the strategic direction of an organisation.
This is a great place to work. We work hard for what we believe in, but create an enjoyable, flexible and accessible working environment to ensure you enjoy what you do and have a good work-life balance, caring about your mental health. So if this sounds like something you are interested in, then come and join us on our journey.
Salary: £37,000 to £40,000
Pension: Matching contribution to your private pension up to 5% of gross salary
Leave: 25 days annual leave per year (plus 3 days off between Christmas and New Year)
We are advertising the role as full-time but if you are looking for something more flexible then get in touch as we are open to other arrangements.
To apply send your CV and a Cover Letter (two sides of A4) that covers the key competencies, explains your suitability for the role and why you want to work for us by midnight 12 January, 2020.

We look forward to hearing from you!
