• Maintain key relationships with mosque and school partners to preserve goodwill and support transitional planning. 

Team Leadership 

• Line manage the Fundraising & Events Manager, providing coaching, strategic direction, and performance support. 
• Ensure the team structure remains fit for purpose as event formats, income goals, and capacity evolve. 
• Delegate operational oversight of individual events and activities while maintaining accountability for departmental outcomes.

We're the UK's specialist blood cancer charity and our vision is clear: we’re here to beat blood cancer. We fund world-class research; provide information and support to patients and their loved ones; and raise awareness of blood cancer.

This role is responsible for leading the Mass Participation team to achieve ambitious fundraising and supporter acquisition targets, through a portfolio of third-party events (such as London Marathon and Great North Run), expanding the growth of our flagship Walk of Light campaign and delivering new mass participation products.  

As our Mass Participation Lead, you will be an accomplished fundraiser with a proven track record of delivering and growing large-scale third-party and Blood Cancer UK owned mass participation events. You will be ambitious in achieving income and supporter acquisition targets, but also a risk-taker who will design innovative products.

Whilst there is no fixed number of days per week required to attend the office, the successful candidate will be required to travel to meet internal and external stakeholders, attend monthly and quarterly team days in the London office and travel nationally to away days and fundraising events.

We are committed to actively promoting equality, diversity, and inclusivity. In line with our strategy we welcome approaches from individuals from underrepresented groups, including minority communities, and applicants with a disability, to better reflect the community we serve and help broaden our perspectives.
