We are looking for a Head of Philanthropy who will lead our philanthropy strategy in Central England. This is an outstanding opportunity to join a successful Philanthropy team at The Prince's Trust, within the wider Philanthropy directorate, enabling us to grow our support for young people across the region.

You will be a confident and driven self-starter who works well with others, spots opportunities and enjoys a fast-paced environment. You will be working with philanthropic supporters in Central England who have a bespoke relationship with The Prince’s Trust. These supporters may be funding specific areas of our work, co-collaborating on programmes or involved in supporting strategic projects. An ability to connect with high level supporters and build trust, confidence and commitment is essential.

Most importantly, this person must believe in The Trust’s work, live our company values and fit within our team’s positive, supportive and collaborative culture. You will be based in Central England and be prepared to travel across the region.

At Derby City Mission we are entering an exciting phase in our development and are looking for someone with excellent skills to support the Chief Executive and his office. In this role you will play a pivotal part in helping to make a real difference to those who need us most by providing an effective fundraising service both for our existing activities and to help us move forward with our growth and development plans.

As the Fundraising Facilitator, you will co-ordinate all DCM fundraising projects, including applications to trusts and foundations, pitching for corporate partners and working with the rest of DCM on fundraising events.

You will focus on maximising donations to achieve our fundraising targets. You will also manage DCM fundraising database, and will work with the Fundraising Development Team to maintain both the traditional and digital fundraising.

We’re looking for someone who has experience in fundraising or has an aptitude to learn swiftly. You should be a team player. You should be confident, proactive, an excellent communicator and organiser, who will enjoy the chance to take on this varied and active role.

The National Holocaust Centre and Museum (NHCM) plays a unique role in the UK as a memorial, a museum, a place of testimony and learning. We are seeking to appoint an outstanding individual into the new post of Director of Fundraising. This position is an excellent opportunity for an experienced fundraiser to play a pivotal role in a unique institution and help position us for future growth.

Set in a beautiful rural location, yet only 90 minutes from Central London, we are also the only place of Holocaust remembrance & learning in the world founded by non-Jewish people. The remarkable Smith family designed and built the Centre in 1995, creating a uniquely peaceful and contemplative ‘safe space’ including beautiful memorial rose gardens. Rapidly, they attracted not only visitors and school groups but an amazing team of Holocaust survivors for whom we became a home from home. We blossomed into an Arts Council supported museum of global creative excellence. But the Smith family ethos endures, as does our beloved family of Holocaust survivors. Their stories will always remain at the heart of our learning programmes.

Our hugely exciting redevelopment project will reinforce and sustain our mission in the face of twin challenges. First, rising anti-Jewish racism and social media which distorts the history of the world’s greatest crime against humanity. Second, we are slowly losing the Holocaust survivors who were first-hand witnesses. To offset their inevitable passing, we have created cutting-edge interactive VR and app experiences. These will future-proof Holocaust education for our whole sector. And the world-class team of designers and architects we have hired for redevelopment will enhance and grow the ecosystem they all live in.

If you’re a highly organised self-starter with a successful track-record in philanthropy fundraising, confident and able to lead a team, ideally with a good knowledge of the Jewish philanthropic community, we would love to hear from you.
