Closing date: Friday 19th November 2021

We are on a mission to give children and young people from disadvantaged communities the literacy skills to succeed in life. You could join us and help support the sustainability of our work.

What you’ll be doing

We are recruiting a fundraising officer to play an important role in our trusts and statutory team. Government, councils, businesses and other funders are increasingly recognising our solutions to the literacy challenges faced by disadvantaged communities. Our work is key to improving attainment and social mobility, particularly through our place-based Literacy Hubs.

You will be part of a supportive team of four, generating income and managing relationships with trusts, foundations and statutory funders, including some of the leading funders in the UK. You will have the opportunity to build on your existing experience and write compelling applications, develop relationships with funders and show them how the work of the National Literacy Trust can transform lives through literacy.

You will be responsible for establishing new funding sources through prospect research, identifying and responding to leads and working closely with colleagues across the organisation to secure funding. You will research, write and present funding bids, proposals and documentation and ensure that all necessary due diligence is carried out.

What we’re looking for

You will be an excellent writer and communicator, with strong attention to detail, who is happy to collaborate across the organisation and with a wide range of people to increase support for the organisation. Ideally, you will have experience of working in a fundraising team, carrying out prospect research, generating income from trusts and foundations and working with or in the education sector. You will also need experience of building relationships and using a customer relationship database. 

Why our work is so vital

Poor literacy and resulting inequality is not inevitable. The National Literacy Trust improves the reading, writing, speaking and listening skills of those who need it most, giving them the best possible chance of success.

We make society fairer. Poor literacy creates social and economic inequality. The one in six adults in the UK with poor literacy earn less, are less likely to vote and more likely to experience health inequalities.

We enable social mobility. A child without literacy skills can’t succeed at school, and as an adult they will be locked out of the job market. The pattern is intergenerational and starts at birth.

Our work is targeted at communities with the highest levels of disadvantage and the lowest levels of literacy. We support thousands of schools and early years settings, bringing in wonderful partners like the Premier League and the nation’s best publishers who bring literacy alive. We campaign to make literacy a priority for our nation’s leaders. Our research and analysis make us the leading authority on literacy and drive our interventions.

What we offer you

As well as a competitive salary, we offer benefits including a generous leave allowance totalling 39 days (including bank holidays and office closure between Christmas and New Year), pension contributions of 8% of annual salary, a cycle to work scheme, employee assistance programme and other health and wellbeing benefits.

We support flexible working and promote a workplace where you can be yourself and contribute to our success, whoever you are.

Application details

Our people are our most important asset and we value and respect diversity in all its forms (seen and unseen). We particularly welcome applications from those from Black and Asian backgrounds, as well as candidates with disabilities and from the communities in which we work. We would like to increase representation of these groups among our staff as we know greater diversity will lead to an even greater impact for our work.

LawWorks is the operating name of the Solicitors Pro Bono Group. We are a charity working to connect volunteer lawyers with people in need of legal advice, who are not eligible for legal aid and cannot afford to pay. We also facilitate free legal advice for smaller not-for-profit organisations supporting a wide range of beneficiaries.

Head of Fundraising (full or part-time)

£42,000 (full-time) 

35 or 28 hours (5 days or 4 days, pro rata salary part-time)

LawWorks is looking to recruit to this role to further grow and sustain income from trusts and foundations, and to enable us to diversify our fundraising approach, including legacy giving and securing corporate support and sponsorship.

With support from the Law Society, we encourage, facilitate and celebrate pro bono across the solicitor profession and at law schools in England and Wales. We work primarily with solicitors (firms and in-house teams), and also with law schools and law students, and other legal and non-legal volunteers and organisations. LawWorks has around 150 member organisations including some of the largest City firms and international firms with an office in London, national, regional and local firms, in-house teams, law schools and charities.

This is a great opportunity for an experienced fundraiser. It is an ideal position for an individual seeking a role which captures the key elements of fundraising. The Head of Fundraising will work closely with the Chief Executive and a fundraising consultant, and will be a member of the LawWorks Management Team.

An early priority for the Head of Fundraising will be to work with the senior management team to identify additional fundraising capacity and support needs, building on activity and achievements to date.

The post holder will have clear fundraising priorities, but we are also looking for someone willing to lend-a-hand to support key events and able to work well as part of a relatively small organisational staff team.

Flexible working arrangements will be available (including days during the week working from home) and while some very occasional evening work may be required, time off in lieu will be given. The option to be home-based, if outside reasonable commuting distance to London, will also be available.

We are a busy and (for our size) complex charity, with a friendly team, a positive ethos and a commitment to doing all we can to ensure that LawWorks is a strong and efficient organisation and a great place to work.

The deadline for applications is 6.00pm on 19th November. Please visit our website for more information and how to apply.

LawWorks is an equal opportunities employer committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We welcome applications irrespective of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability or age.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of our friendly, experienced Grants Partnerships team and would be perfect for someone looking to gain more experience in international development fundraising from trusts and foundations with a focus on child protection and the SDGs. We are looking for availability to start towards the end of 2021 and will be offering this role on a 12 month basis. One of our team members recently said this about working in our Grants team:

Fundraising Manager Responsibilities:

Working with our team of 7 grants fundraisers you will play a vital role in securing and growing our grant making income. You will develop new and existing relationships with grants makers, put forward compelling proposals, produce reports and updates, monitor income for your own portfolio and ensure grant making activity is accurately captured in our database.

Fundraising Manager Requirements:

You will need knowledge of international development and the grants fundraising environment and have strong communication skills and an eye for detail. You will be naturally collaborative and able to manage a variable workload with tight deadlines.

About Hope and Homes for Children:

Orphanages don’t protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them.

Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of sexual and physical abuse, as well as extreme neglect.

Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.

You will be joining a brave, can-do organisation and an ambitious, collaborative and multiskilled team. You’ll be encouraged to think and act big and you’ll be mandated and supported to do what’s needed to achieve our mission. You’ll work with dedicated, passionate champions who are ready to take bold steps to inspire change - advocating for our cause, engaging individuals, communities and organisations across the globe in the foundational importance of family love for children. As the world reels from the impact of Covid, there is increased risk of families experiencing the poverty, lack of support and desperation that drives children into orphanages. There is vital work to be done in ensuring this does not happen. If you believe every child belongs in a family, join us as we consign orphanages to history.
