Closing date: 8.00am 22nd July 2025

Are you ready to join us?

A powerful campaigning organisation, Brain Tumour Research is the leading voice of the brain tumour community in the UK. Unique and much needed, we are the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. Our work focuses on campaigning to increase the national investment in research into brain tumours to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence, across the UK.

​

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.  All of us at Brain Tumour Research are passionate about finding a cure for this devastating disease.  

​

Job Purpose:

This is a new role to transform our current “Supporter Care” team into one that leads our Individual Giving programme. At present the team is focused on thanking donors for gifts to our charity and supporters for undertaking challenges and events as well as organising our lab tours and tiles programme. The introduction of a major automation project in the charity will reduce this team’s workload whilst at the same time decreasing the amount of time taken to thank donors and supporters. Once that project is fully implemented we want this team to expand its remit to include a wider programme of proactively supporting our donors and supporters throughout their journey with the charity and thus to increase the amount raised through these channels.

​

This job will be a challenging one with a changing focus. The initial focus is very much process-driven – bedding in the automation and getting all of our processes humming so that everyone is thanked within one working week of their donation, but once that’s done the focus needs to move to both wider care of our supporters and growth of the income channel.

​

Reports to:

Director of Finance and Operations

(at some point in the future – possibly in about 12 months time the role and team may move to the Income Generation department)

· Outstanding organisation skills.

· An excellent standard of written English and a good all-round communicator.

· Experience of working with a Fundraising Database/CRM as well as Microsoft Office, especially Word and Excel.

· Experience in manipulating and seeking insight from large data sets.

· Flexible in your approach to work, embracing change and development.

​

Desirable:

· Experience in running a individual giving programme.

· Experience of working with members of the public, especially those who may be going through current or recent traumatic experiences.

Main duties:

· To be the owner of all thanking processes so that every supporter and donor receives an appropriate thank you withing one working week of their donation or the end of their fundraising activity.

· To embed the new processes from our automation solution, recommending changes that are required and adapting other processes to ensure the most efficient overall system for all team members involved in thanking.

· To support and develop your direct reports so that they are working efficiently and effectively and have a rewarding role at the charity. To conduct regular 1-1s with them as well as quarterly reviews and annual appraisals.

· Ensure accurate recording of all processes and outputs from the team – primarily on our CRM database.

· To ensure that our Lab Tour and Tiles process is run effectively and efficiently. This process is managed by a member of the team, but remains the responsibility of the team manager.

· To develop our understanding of the data relating to our individual giving and to recommend

· To develop additional ways of valuing our supporters and donors through their journey with us (cards, phone calls etc).

· To develop additional ways of generating income from our individual donors (appeals etc).

· Deputise for colleagues as necessary to ensure that your team’s activities continue during periods of leave/absence.

· To comply with Brain Tumour Research’s internal policies, comply with relevant charity and other legislation and to undertake any other reasonable duties as required.
