Come and join us and be part of a mission to save lives and end economic abuse forever!

We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with strong experience in high-value fundraising and/or commercial income generation.
What we’re looking for in the Head of Income
- Proven success in income generation from high-net-worth individuals and/or corporate partners
- Strategic mindset with the ability to lead and grow multi-stream income
- Experience of working in a small, agile organisation and line-managing high-performing teams
- Experience of working at Senior Leadership Team level, or readiness to step into the role
- A confident communicator with strong relationship-building skills
- A commitment to SEA’s feminist ethos, values and mission
What we offer the Head of Income
- 25 days annual leave + 5 wellbeing days + bank holidays
- Home-based and flexible working options
- Reflective practice and wellbeing support
- 5% employer pension contribution
- Enhanced family leave, carers leave, sick pay

ABOUT UPREACH
Do you think that your socio-economic background should determine your career prospects?
upReach’s vision is of a society in which everybody has an equal opportunity to realise their full career potential.

We help undergraduates from disadvantaged backgrounds achieve their career potential by providing an intensive programme of support that addresses socio-economic barriers to graduate employment.
