Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
About you
You’re entrepreneurial, independent, and driven. You treat your work like it’s your own business - spotting opportunities, testing ideas, and chasing results.
If you’re a traditional charity fundraiser, this probably isn’t for you. But if you’re excited by risk, growth, and pace - keep reading.
Over the past three years, we’ve bought and scaled swim events, turned others down, failed fast, and doubled our unrestricted income. We want someone who’s up for that kind of journey over the next three years too.
You’re as comfortable pitching to a corporate partner as you are writing fundraising copy, tweaking button text, or building a forecast. You can move between detail and vision, instinct and data, phone calls and spreadsheets.
You know how to deepen supporter journeys, grow fundraising per head, and develop new income streams. Bonus points if you like outdoor swimming.
About us
We’re a Founder-led charity working to solve learn-to-swim for disabled children - and we aim to do that in the next ten years.
We’ve grown our impact 5x in the past three years and now raise over £1m in unrestricted income annually through our swim events. Our events attract 5,000 swimmers and 3,000 fundraisers, and we own and operate some of the UK’s most iconic outdoor swims - including the Dart10k and Bantham Swoosh - alongside a growing series of 24-hour relays in lakes and lidos.
We’re small, ambitious, and fast-moving. Strategy and delivery happen side by side. We work on multiple projects, test constantly, and keep things flexible and responsive. You’ll need to thrive in that environment to enjoy the role.
The role
We’re all driven, and you’ll need to be too - this is a fast-paced, ambitious environment with lots of learning and change.
We’re looking for a strategic, creative Head of Fundraising to lead our next phase of growth.
Your first focus will be stewarding our 3,000 fundraisers - overseeing segmented email journeys, managing a £40k prizing fund, and improving supporter care through deeper, more personal touchpoints. That might mean calls, events, or just finding ways to help people feel more connected to their impact.
Beyond that, you'll help us develop and test new income streams - from matched giving and regular giving, to sponsorships, repeat fundraising, and post-event conversion. You'll also play a key role in evolving our Challenge Events portfolio across in-person, virtual, and blended formats.
This role requires someone with a strong track record in fundraising growth, a test-and-learn mindset, and the ambition to build something big.

- Develop and implement donor retention strategies to increase long-term support and regular giving.
Trusts and Foundations

- Deepen strong relationships with grant-making bodies and ensure compliance with grant requirements.
Corporate Partnerships
- Manage and develop corporate partnerships and event sponsorships.
- Develop tailored proposals and pitches to attract corporate support.
Team Leadership
- Lead, inspire, and manage a small fundraising team, fostering a culture of high performance and collaboration.
- Provide mentorship and professional development opportunities for team members for both fundraising and marketing.
Monitoring and Reporting
- Track and report on fundraising performance against targets.
- Provide regular updates to the Senior Leadership Team.
Qualifications and Experience
- Proven experience in a senior fundraising role.
- Proven experience working on fundraising events and event fundraising.
- Demonstrable success in developing and implementing successful fundraising strategies.
- Strong track record of securing major gifts, grant funding and/or corporate partnerships.
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to engage and inspire a wide range of stakeholders.
- Experience in digital fundraising and leveraging social media platforms.
- Strong leadership and team management skills.
- Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
Optional / Ideal Responsibilities
Marketing & Comms

Digital Fundraising
- Leverage digital platforms, advertising and social media to enhance fundraising.
- Implement innovative online fundraising campaigns and initiatives.

Ref 7139
Save the Children UK is seeking a strategic and partnership-oriented leader to join us as the Humanitarian Mobilisation and Partnerships Senior Lead within our Humanitarian Leadership Academy (HLA). This new role is central to how we connect people, organisations and expertise across the humanitarian sector—overseeing our global consultancy roster, strengthening equitable partnerships, and ensuring that local and national actors can access the leadership and learning support they need before, during, and after crises.
Working across teams, regions and functions, you will lead efforts to embed collective leadership, locally led action, and sustainable delivery models into the HLA's work. You'll play a key role in shaping how humanitarian expertise is mobilised—through networks, surge mechanisms and partnerships—and how that work aligns with shifting donor priorities and long-term capacity needs. As we deliver on our 2025–2027 strategy, this is a unique opportunity to influence real change in how humanitarian leadership is developed, supported and resourced across the sector.
About Us
Save the Children UK believes every child deserves a future. In the UK and around the world, we work every day to give children a healthy start in life, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. When crisis strikes, and children are most vulnerable, we are always among the first to respond and the last to leave. We ensure children's unique needs are met and their voices are heard. We deliver lasting results for millions of children, including those hardest to reach.
About the Team:
The Humanitarian Leadership Academy's (HLA's) mission is to inspire a movement for locally led humanitarian action. Our purpose is to work with local actors and organisations to provide tailored resilience and crisis response support that addresses their specific needs, focusing on nurturing and empowering local leaders, driving collective action through our networks, thought leadership & research and amplifying local expertise, creating opportunities for change and collaboration.
About the role
The Humanitarian Mobilisation and Partnerships Senior Lead plays a key role in strengthening collaboration, mobilising expertise, and driving systemic change in line with the HLA Strategy 2025-2027. This role ensures that the HLA's initiatives are rooted in equitable partnerships, locally led action, and collective leadership efforts rather than isolated interventions.
The role will provide strategic oversight, coordination, and innovation to ensure that the HLA's work in leadership, learning and partnerships is aligned with global and regional humanitarian priorities. It will also focus on expanding access to leadership and learning opportunities, ensuring local actors and organisations are at the centre of crisis preparedness, response, and recovery.
With increasing funding pressures and shifting donor priorities, the way humanitarian expertise is mobilised needs to evolve. This role will help shape how leadership, learning and partnerships connect, ensuring that humanitarian action is driven by those closest to the crisis and that resources are used effectively to strengthen long-term capacity.
In this role, you will:
• Provide strategic oversight for the HLA's consultancy roster, ensuring it remains a dynamic and responsive mechanism for supporting humanitarian leadership and crisis response.
• Strengthen engagement with local, regional, and international partners, ensuring that collaboration extends beyond funding relationships and actively contributes to collective leadership efforts.
• Ensure that expertise is effectively mobilised, working with networks, rosters and partner organisations to improve accessibility to humanitarian learning and leadership opportunities.
• Support the development of equitable partnerships, ensuring that the HLA's approach to working with local actors reinforces their agency and decision-making power, rather than perpetuating extractive models of engagement.
• Contribute to funding sustainability, identifying opportunities to strengthen cost-recovery models, diversify revenue streams, and align the HLA's work with emerging donor priorities.
• Advocate for a shift in how leadership expertise is mobilised in humanitarian settings, working with partners and sector leaders to influence policy, funding models, and capacity development approaches.
About you
We are looking for someone with the following experience, competencies and skills
• Direct experience of contributing to the mobilisation of humanitarian expertise, such as managing or delivering through rosters, surge mechanisms, or regional leadership networks, ideally in ways that connected people to timely leadership, learning, or crisis response support.
• A strong track record of developing and maintaining partnerships with national and local actors, where collaboration is structured, accountable, and grounded in shared goals, not just relationship management but delivering through partnerships in practice.
• Ability to think strategically and systemically, including identifying where partnerships, mobilisation efforts, or resourcing models can shift leadership closer to crisis-affected contexts.
• Demonstrated experience aligning partnership or mobilisation work with organisational strategies and funding opportunities, including contributing to proposals, working within donor frameworks, and supporting sustainable delivery models.
• Confidence working across diverse geographies and cultures, with experience building respectful relationships that centre the knowledge, agency and priorities of local actors.
• Experience working across multiple teams or departments, contributing to cross-functional delivery and helping build joined-up ways of working across strategy, programmes, operations, and business development functions.
• Good working knowledge of leadership and capacity strengthening in humanitarian settings, with specific insight into what's needed to support locally led leadership in crisis contexts.
• A visible commitment to equity and inclusion, including examples of how you have advocated for underrepresented groups.
• Strong communication and influencing skills, including experience preparing external materials (e.g. for partners, donors, or networks), contributing to strategic conversations, and sharing learning.
• Experience of contributing to financial management, including helping shape project budgets, aligning delivery to cost recovery models, and ensuring work is delivered responsibly within resource constraints.
Please note: To avoid disappointment, you are advised to submit your application as soon as possible as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if a high volume of applications are received. This is to ensure that we can manage application levels whilst maintaining a positive candidate experience. Unfortunately once a vacancy has closed, we are unable to consider further applications.
Ways of Working:
The majority of our roles can be performed remotely in the UK, but there are likely to be times when you will be required to come to your contracted office (up to 2-4 days per month or 6-8 days per quarter). This will be agreed with your Line Manager and team and is intended to be time spent on collaborating with colleagues and relationship building.
Please note: travel costs to your contracted office will be at your own expense.
Flexible Working - We are happy to discuss flexible working options at interview.
Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion:
Save the Children UK believes in a world that is fair, inclusive and equitable where all children have the opportunity to change their world. We apply this to our workforce and we are committed to developing and supporting a diverse, equitable, and inclusive organisation where all employees have a sense of belonging and feel that they can be "Free to Be Me". We are not looking for just one type of person - we want to recruit people who can add fresh perspectives, innovative ideas or challenge that disrupts the risk of group think.
We are especially interested in people whose childhood experiences - of life on a low income, of migration, of being in a racialised community, of the care system, of being LGBT+ or in an LGBT+ family or living with (or with someone with) a disability - help us to see things we might otherwise miss. Whatever your story is we want to hear it because we know that different voices, ideas, perspectives and knowledge, working together will enable us to better the lives of children around the world. This is the reason why we are all here.
