Lockdown has brought a number of serious issues to the fore for society's most vulnerable; victims of domestic abuse and violence are at much greater risk at home with their abusers. In this brand-new fundraising role, you'll have the opportunity to make a significant impact on the lives of women and children experiencing domestic abuse from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds across Greater Manchester.

Initially a 12 month contract due to the current funding model, but the hope is very much that this post will open up opportunities for sustainable funding in order to extend and potentially become permanent.

This small, but mighty charity is committed to creating a safe space, providing culturally sensitive support, language assistance, and a voice and identity to BAME women facing violence in their lives. This is a new post, created to help the organisation diversify income streams and increase relationship-led fundraising from major donors, corporates and individuals.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dynamic self-starter with exceptional interpersonal skills to bring new ideas, try new things and build new relationships. As this is the charity's first and sole Fundraiser, it is crucial that you can think strategically and deliver operationally. You'll work creatively and with autonomy to develop new initiatives, working closely with the senior leadership team to develop a sustainable fundraising strategy for the future.

To apply, we'd love to see the following skills, experience and attitudes on your CV:
* Impressive track-record of raising money from either individuals or corporates, regularly at four and, ideally, five figure level
* Strategic mind-set with the practical skills and desire to be a hands-on fundraiser
* Positive attitude and team player who brings out the best in those around them
* Understanding of how to lay solid foundations for a sustainable fundraising future
* Ability to influence internal stakeholders, developing and nurturing a culture of fundraising

Flexible, life and family friendly organisation.

Location: Leeds (or home-based)

Hours: Part-time (3 days)

Contract length: 9 month maternity cover

Salary: £28,000 per annum

Children’s Heart Surgery Fund (CHSF) provides vital funding and resources to support the Leeds Congenital Heart Unit in providing life-saving medical equipment, parent accommodation for families and essential ward resources. At CHSF they recognise that caring for people with congenital heart disease involves so much more than just treating the heart itself, which is why they care for the heart, mind, family and future. If you are looking to develop your career within an organisation with a mission such as this, then this could be the opportunity for you!

We are recruiting a Corporate Partnerships Manager to join the team at an exciting time in the charity’s corporate fundraising journey. In this role you will be tasked with the exciting challenge of developing and managing a pipeline of successful and mutually beneficial corporate partnerships.

Working across specific campaigns you will be required to identify new corporate leads communicating with key contacts in order to encourage and motivate them to engage with CHSF in a meaningful and beneficial way. You will also be required to nurture the relationships with existing partners, providing them with regular charity updates and encouraging their ongoing support. You will be well supported in the position but will also have the scope and flexibility to demonstrate your own flair and passion when engaging with supporters.

To be considered for this role you will ideally come to us with experience working in a fundraising setting and a good understanding of the important elements of managing corporate relationships. We are also happy consider applications from individuals from a more corporate sales or business development background who are looking to apply their skills in a charitable setting. Integral to success in this role will be your ability to follow a specific sales / business development process and you will ideally have experience adopting a systematic approach to generating and managing leads. Perhaps most importantly you should be determined, reliable and organised with a methodical and flexible approach to work and be committed to the values and cause of this wonderful organisation.

This role is a part-time position covering a maternity period of 9 months. Due to the impact of Covid-19 the role is currently based from home but, when open, the offices are based in Leeds. For the right candidate we would be happy to consider someone based entirely from home.

The recruitment for this role is ongoing, and the position will close when a sufficient number of suitable applications have been received. If you wish to express an interest in this role, please apply directly or contact Charlie or Leanne at Charity Horizons for more information.

We welcome and encourage applications from all suitable candidates irrespective of age, disability, hidden disability, race or national origin, religion or belief, gender, gender expression, political view, sexual orientation, medical condition and pregnancy.

Medical Research Foundation

Senior Fundraising Officer, full-time, London with some remote working

£30,000-£34,000 plus generous benefits 

Many of the diseases and conditions that affect human health have been cured or overcome as a result of medical research. But there will always be more to do. Although significant resources are being spent around the world developing exciting new treatments and therapies, there are areas of medical need that receive little or no support – and people’s lives that see no improvement. That’s where we step in.

The Medical Research Foundation is an independent charitable foundation. Formed by the Medical Research Council (MRC), we fund and support the most promising health research wherever we discover great opportunities that are not being pursued. We use our donations responsibly and ensure we make the greatest impact where it is most needed.

We are looking for a Senior Fundraising Officer to join our rapidly expanding team in our central London offices.

Reporting to the Head of Development, you will play a crucial role in building relationships and raising income through various fundraising streams including individuals, corporates and challenge events.

We need the very best people to help deliver our vision of advancing medical research, improving human health and changing people’s lives. Our team is proud to work for the Medical Research Foundation. We are ambitious for the Medical Research Foundation and for ourselves. We are approachable – providing advice to everyone and explaining our work. We are dedicated and committed to achieving the most for our donors and our researchers.  And we are involved – constantly looking for new ways to engage and improve. We are inspired by our work and we will be looking for this in you too.

What you can bring to the role

You will have sound experience of working in a fundraising position in a charity. You will also have experience of successfully securing income from voluntary sources including individuals and companies.

You will be able to support the delivery and growth of our fundraising programme with the aim of developing and maintaining long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with these supporters to meet and exceed annual income targets. You have excellent customers service skills and are able to communicate clearly to a variety of audiences.

Our offer:

• A salary of £30,000-£34,000, dependent on experience.
• Annual pay award, performance award scheme and other rewards.
• Generous pension contribution, with no qualifying period.
• 30 days annual leave each year, plus public holidays.
• 36 hour working week, usually worked over 5 days.
• Flexi-time system and core working hours of 10am to 4pm.
• Employee assistance programme.
• Other health-related benefits.
• An opportunity to make a difference to human health.
• Fantastic colleagues.

To apply, please:
