What would it mean to lead fundraising for a charity tackling some of the most entrenched health inequalities in the North West, and to know your work could directly change that story?

North West Cancer Research is a proudly regional charity that punches far above its weight. They tackle the cancers that hit our communities hardest, funding world-class research and delivering award-winning education and public health campaigns.

Cancer rates are up to 25% higher in parts of the North West than elsewhere in the UK. We're looking for a talented, strategic and values-driven Head of Fundraising to help grow and diversify income, to help shift the dial on these unequal outcomes.

What's on offer?

Salary: £55-65k, ideally appointing low-mid range
Location: Hybrid between home, Liverpool and around the region (currently 1-day per week in the office)
Benefits: 25 days holiday (+Christmas closure), 5% employer pension contribution, private medical insurance, flexible life and family-friendly culture
Reports to: Director of Brand and Income

About the role

As Head of Fundraising, you'll lead and develop a high-performing team (currently x7), covering regional fundraising, philanthropy, corporate partnerships, individual giving, legacies and events. You'll be the architect of a bold, future-facing fundraising strategy - one that diversifies income, nurtures loyal supporters and sparks new opportunities across the region.

In short: this is your chance to join a brilliant and ambitious senior leadership team at a time of expansion with massive potential for both individual and collective growth.

About the job - here are just a few of the highlights:

• Set the vision: designing and delivering an innovative cross-organisational fundraising strategy.
• Lead with heart: coaching, supporting and developing your team to achieve meaningful, sustainable success.
• Innovate: spotting new income streams, testing new approaches and keeping ahead of sector trends.
• Build brilliant relationships: with supporters, donors, partners, academics, peers and Trustees.
• Champion best practice: compliance, data, supporter journeys and ethical fundraising will be your bread and butter.
• Be part of the bigger picture: as a member of the Senior Management Team, you'll help shape organisational direction and impact.

About you - you'll thrive here if you:

• Are an experienced fundraising leader who's delivered significant income growth across multiple streams (ideally leading seven-figure income).
• Love people - developing teams, nurturing donors and collaborating across the charity.
• Can bring fresh ideas, curiosity and creativity.
• Are confident with budgets, forecasting, data and KPIs, and can bring insight to decision-making.
• Care deeply about the inequalities faced across the North West, and want your work to change real lives.

If you're already imagining what you could do with this role, then we'd love to hear from you!

More about why you'll love working here

• A genuinely supportive team culture and a clear case for support.
• Opportunity for personal and professional growth.
• Stable and sustainable financial position, with the ability and desire to invest in fundraising.
• Flexible, hybrid working and encouragement to focus on your wellbeing.
