We are a charity and lead public body for Scotland’s historic environment. We want the historic environment to make a real difference to people’s lives: to our health, to our economy, to our culture and to our environment both now and in the future. We care for more than 300 properties of national importance and are the largest operator of visitor attractions in Scotland.  We look after internationally significant archives and artefacts, carry out research and provide advice, support, regulation and funding to protect, conserve and manage Scotland’s heritage.

Homebased with travel required

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join SSAFA in this strategically important and influential role.

We are looking for a highly experienced fundraising professional to lead the development of our community-based fundraising and income generation plans for SSAFA’s UK and overseas network of branches and service committees, which provide a range of personal support services for serving men and women, veterans and their families both at home and abroad.

About the role

The Head of Network & Community Fundraising is responsible for developing and implementing SSAFA's strategy for regional and community-based fundraising across our network of UK-wide and overseas branches and service committees. 

You will work closely with the other Fundraising Heads and Volunteer Operations teams to develop and implement a bold and ambitious strategy intended to transform the scale and breadth of our grassroots and community-focused fundraising activities. 

This strategy will involve supporting our network volunteers to hold their own fundraising events alongside a growing team of regionally based fundraising officers winning and stewarding new partnerships with trusts and foundations, companies, membership organisations, events and individual supporters.  Hence, a key part of your role will be to engage with the Branch and Service Committee Chairs, their officers and members and to build support for increasing fundraised income.

Reporting directly to the Director of Fundraising, the post holder is responsible for leading a team of regional fundraising managers – each with a specific geographical responsibility – as well as contributing to the leadership and management of the fundraising directorate and wider organisation as a member of the Senior Leadership Team.

This role will require a high degree of travel across the UK, and particularly within the designated ‘home’ area, together with occasional but regular trips to the central office in London.

About you

You will most likely have broad and senior-level experience in the charity sector, as we are seeking a candidate who brings an expert knowledge of most traditional charity income streams and fundraising models.  You will be able to demonstrate success in achieving ambitious growth in a team dynamic and be able to draw on that experience both in terms of developing fundraising strategies to achieve income targets, as well as the skill and judgement to adapt and implement those plans in the field.

You will have a highly developed level of emotional intelligence and the ability to deftly manage the expectations and priorities of multiple stakeholder groups.  You are someone who can comfortably engage with people from all backgrounds and walks of life, whilst demonstrating exemplary adherence to the core values of the charity. 

Due to the career backgrounds of many of our volunteers and our beneficiaries, lived experience of military life though not essential would be an advantage.

SSAFA is an employer that values the diversity of its workforce and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.

About Us

The National Lottery Community Fund is the largest community funder in the UK - we’re proud to award money raised by players of The National Lottery to communities across the UK. Last year alone we gave out over half a billion pounds (£508.5 million) of National Lottery funding to over 11,000 community projects across the UK, enabling even more people and communities to bring their ideas and ambitions to life. We support a wide range of health, educational, environmental, and charitable projects with grants ranging from as little as £500 to multi-million-pound programmes. 86% of our new grants were for less than £10k.

At the heart of everything we do is the belief that when people are in the lead, communities thrive. National Lottery funding is open to everyone and we’re privileged to be able to work with the smallest of grassroots groups right up to large UK-wide charities. We have changed how we work across the Fund to help us serve people and communities more effectively, working flexibly and on their terms; working closer to communities.

Our England Portfolio

The National Lottery Community Fund manages 5 distinct funding portfolios: the UK portfolio, supporting work that spans the 4 countries, the Wales portfolio, The Scotland portfolio, The NI portfolio and the England portfolio.

Across its 5 portfolios, the National Lottery Community Fund commits over £500m every year. The England portfolio is by some measure the largest of the 5 portfolios with an annual commitment budget of over £400m.

The grant portfolio in England includes a small grant programme, for grants up to £10,000, a medium to large grant portfolio, for grants upwards of £10,000, and a portfolio of large, thematic investments.

As part of our transformation to working more closely to the communities we support, we have created 6 regional teams across England, working across 6 regions: London, South East & Eastern, Midlands, North East & Cumbria, North-West, South-West and Yorkshire & Humber. Team members are dispersed, based in their local communities. The regional teams are mainly responsible for awarding and managing our grants over £10,000, but, crucially, are also responsible for developing the local understanding and local connections that will enable us to ensure that our funding makes the most difference to local people and communities. 

Relationships are at the core of the way the regional teams work; relationships with applicants, grant holders, other funders, local decision-makers and other stakeholders and, of course, the local communities that we are aiming to support.

Our local ways of working need to respond to the local context but remain sufficiently consistent across our organisation – we are all part of the National Lottery Community Fund and our core goals and principles need to transpire in whatever we do, wherever we do it.

We are committed to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. Our funding is for all communities whatever their starting point and we understand that some will need extra support. In adopting an equity approach to our funding, we recognise groups are situated differently due to structural inequalities and we need to develop our funding in a way that understands and addresses the specific circumstances and root causes of disadvantage.

About the Role

This is an exciting opportunity to lead our Yorkshire & Humber team as the Head of Region, to maximise the impact of our funding and lead the strategic direction and management of our regional portfolio. You will be accountable for all aspects of strategic and operational management within the dedicated region, including local prioritisation, grant budget management, operational excellence, and key stakeholder management. You will be the key representative of the National Lottery Community Fund in your region.

Our Yorkshire & Humber region spans rich and diverse communities and geography, with a population of over 5 million, living across coastal shores, seven cities and 21 Local Authorities, with a complexity of deprivation. You will oversee awards of approximately £26m per annum within the region alongside being responsible for a portfolio of approximately £40m grants in management. You will lead a team of 20 remotely-based mobile team members in the region.

You will be a key member of the England Leadership Team, maintaining strong relationships with other Regional Heads as well as with colleagues in the Central Funding and Support Teams.

We’re looking for someone who is passionate about making a difference through our funding, with a deep understanding of the communities we serve. You will have experience of building and leading teams and driving a culture of inclusion with an ability to coach, inspire, and empower people. Your ability to build and maintain excellent relationships with a diverse range of senior level internal and external stakeholders will be second to none, you will have experience in creating connections and facilitating divers stakeholder networks and you will be a confident communicator, comfortable in all environments. You will demonstrate an ability to work in an agile way, ensuring we are flexible and continue to improve in line with feedback and insights from customers and frontline staff.
