About Us

ADHD UK is a newly founded small, high-growth, mental health charity with big ambitions.  We’re looking for someone to help us evolve and change the futures for people with ADHD. We work under our 5 pillars:-

• Information: We use the internet to enable us to deliver nationwide reaching millions of people at a fraction of the historical cost.  We’ve put a lot of effort into our web site and in 2022 we want to develop it further into the most comprehensive resource on ADHD in the UK.  So we’re constantly researching services for ADHD and creating new pages of helpful information as well as reaching people with Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
• Support: We’re starting 2022 with 8x the number of national online support events that we had a year ago.  We also use Facebook and WhatsApp to provide 24x7 national support groups, our Facebook groups also grew around 8x last year.  Knowing that you are not alone is an enormous comfort to our customers so we will be expanding this further in 2022.
• Research: With a strong customer base we are able to carry out our own research – current programmes include waiting times for ADHD assessments and lived experience of support services for ADHD at work plus benefits for students and unemployed.  In 2022 we plan to start funding third party research including researching the effects of late diagnosis on ADHD people’s lives.
• Advocacy: We work with employers to help them develop neurodiversity-friendly workplaces, both through our Employer Pack and through training and presentations to organisations.  In 2022 we plan to extend the Employer Pack and offer further support and training services for employers and employees, some of which are revenue generators. 
• Awareness: Use of our website grew tenfold last year and we also work with the press, e.g. we recently launched a press panel of people with lived experience of ADHD, resulting in coverage on SKY News in January 2022.  PR is an area we will be growing this year. We are also planning campaigns to drive changes from the top of government for pupils and students.

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for an innovative, passionate and determined person to take on the position of Head of Fundraising at The Snowdrop Project.  We are a rapidly growing charity helping to lead the way in supporting survivors of human trafficking.  We have a diverse income stream that is mainly comprised of trusts and grants, regular and one off donations, events fundraising and training income.  In the last 5 years, we have doubled our income every 2 years and purchased a large building, all without growing the fundraising team.  However, we are now excited to see the team expand and seeking a highly experienced fundraiser with leadership experience who would relish the challenge to build on our previous success and generate new and creative opportunities.

We are particularly interested in someone who has experience attracting corporate support and developing a legacy income stream.  You will become part of a vibrant team who are in the job to bring real and lasting change to both our direct beneficiaries and the national and international field.  Your role within the senior leadership team will involve strategy development, effective team management and ensuring we maintain and continue our trajectory of growing stable finances providing security of service for our current clients and allowing us to reach more survivors and increase our influence.

You will need to have a proven track record of: working with and understanding multiple fundraising streams; successful income generation; strong leadership and organisational skills; excellent IT and communication; demonstrating that you are approachable and trustworthy; enjoying working both independently and collaboratively; and prioritising rapidly changing lists of tasks.

We offer a supportive and fun team environment, CPD training opportunities, individual support with health and wellbeing and a 4% contribution to the pension autoenrollment.

Background
