Closing date: 19 February 2020
First interview: Week commencing 24 February 2020
Second interview: Week commencing 2 March 2020

Location: Dual located between Lingfield, Surrey and Young Epilepsy’s London office (Victoria).

Contract: Permanent

Salary: Up to £80,000, depending on skills and experience.

Young Epilepsy, the charity that works to create a society in which young people living with epilepsy can thrive and fulfil their potential, is seeking a Director of Fundraising and Communications to lead, develop and deliver their fundraising, communications and marketing strategies and to grow national reach and profile.

Epilepsy affects almost six in every 1000 children and young people, and is one of the most common serious long-term conditions in childhood. Young Epilepsy is the leading charity helping affected young people and is at the forefront of advocating for them for positive changes in attitudes across society and towards greater understanding of the condition.

The organisation is looking for a dynamic, driven leader to oversee delivery of the charity’s existing fundraising plans and generate new funding opportunities through networking and developing partnerships. Using partnerships and philanthropy to secure transformational gifts will be a key part of the role to triple current levels of income over the next 3-5 years. The role will also require developing a PR and social media strategy as well as an integrated communications plan, and identifying a new range of income streams, with a particular emphasis on using digital technology.

Young Epilepsy are looking for demonstrable experience of working at a senior strategic and operational level in fundraising, marketing and communications, as well as a significant track record in securing major funding partnership including companies and philanthropy/major donors. You must have a good understanding of fundraising strategies and models to increase income with a broad experience of implementing them. You will also possess excellent communication, digital and relationship-building skills and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment. Finally, you will be a self-starter that can bring a positive, proactive, entrepreneurial and commercial approach to the role.

For an informal conversation prior to applying to this role, please contact Suzie Spooner on +44 (0) 7960 932 315. Or Anton Packheiser +44 (0) 7749 858597

This role will take over a fledgling corporate partnerships programme and prospect list, securing partnerships for super interesting and emotive projects, including accessible sport, 121 child assessments, family work, group sensory projects and family respite trips.

The partnerships fit a broad variety of CSR aims and can be developed into a range of partnership types, so there is a lot of scope to be both creative, and to speak to a range of different industries. So far they have a modest portfolio of grants, employee fundraising and volunteering partnerships which will require light-touch account management (and some potential growth in a couple), although the main focus initially will certainly be new business. There is no line management at present, but there is growth planned so this role would end up being a team leader position as the income grows.

The hiring manager is more than happy to have chats or coffees with interested candidates as a first stage if that is preferable.

A really interesting role which is able to both build on a successful existing programme (regional corporate), and develop a brand new section of the team from scratch (national corporate). The regional work will follow the model this charity has on the philanthropy side which works with fundraisers in their nation-wide regional hubs, to coach and develop them in maximising their local relationships. The central team will be to provide more experience and advice in order to support the regional teams to deliver top-notch account management and new business.

At the same time, the CPM will be developing a national partnerships programme. They have had prior success (including a £multi-million partnership), a big household name and fundable products, so there is plenty of scope for this to take off. A consultant has already reviewed and so the initial research work into types of partnership and strategy is sketched out, ready for someone to come and start building the pipeline.

It offers a unique mix to make a national programme your own and develop almost from scratch (but with an excellent track record behind you), as well as being able to develop an existing portfolio at the same time. A great role for professional development.

The Roundhouse is a hub of inspiration where artists and emerging talent create extraordinary work and where young people can grow creatively as individuals. We believe in the power of creativity to change lives. By giving young people the chance to engage with the arts through our music, media and performance projects, we inspire them to reach further, dream bigger, and achieve more.

The Development Team raises £3.6m a year (of which the corporate team contribute £650,000 p.a.) for our artistic and young people’s programme. In addition, we are in the final stages of an exciting capital campaign to create a new Campus building; a pivotal moment for the Roundhouse.

We’re looking people who can deliver a high level of account management and bring corporate partnerships sales experience. You’ll be confident working in a fast-paced, target-driven team and comply with Roundhouse’s commitment to Equality, Diversity and Health & Safety in services delivery and the treatment of others.

It’s important that you’re an excellent communicator and relationship builder who can think creatively with the ability to generate ideas and package-up opportunities. You’ll have demonstrable knowledge of Tessitura (or similar), PowerPoint, Excel and MS Word and be a confident, diplomatic and assured person with a strong determination to achieve fundraising objectives. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious person who is committed to putting young people at the heart of everything; to help Roundhouse continue to be a hub of inspiration where artists, emerging talent and young people can grow creatively.

Refuge is committed to a world where domestic and other gender violence is not tolerated and where women and children can live in safety. We aim to empower women and children to rebuild their lives, free from violence and fear.

As Senior Community Fundraising Executive, you will be responsible for developing professional fundraising relationships with our supporters and groups across the community of UK. This includes supporting and retaining existing supporters and being proactive in developing new opportunities, including community corporates, schools, universities and community influencers.

You will also work to implement our three year strategy for supporting regional fundraising across the UK in line with the organisation’s strategy. You will maintain and grow a database of fundraisers, developing strong relationships through their ‘supporter journey’ and identify research and implement new ways to approach potential supporters. The successful applicant will ensure income targets are met within expenditure budget and report progress and performance regularly to their line manager.

The role will require travel across the UK and some evening and weekend work

We are looking for a driven and enthusiastic community fundraiser to play key role in delivering our exciting new three year strategy. You will be an excellent relationship builder with highly developed communication skills who has significant community fundraising experience.

You will be driven and self-motivated, comfortable making decisions within agreed delegation levels. You will be able to work as part of the wider fundraising team and have the ability to work under pressure. This is an exciting opportunity for the right individual, being part of a new strategy and with personal development built in.

All candidates must demonstrate a commitment to the feminist values of empowerment and equality, which underpin all of our work.
