Senior Fundraising Manager (Head of Fundraising)

• Based in Milton Keynes with flexibility to work from home
• Fixed term 18-month contract, 1 March 2021-31 Aug 2022, with possibility of longer-term employment

These are exciting times to join the Winter Night Shelter Milton Keynes. We are looking to move from having a sole fundraiser to develop a new fundraising team as we grow our operations and expand our charitable objectives to meet growing need.

We are looking for a motivated individual to lead our fundraising team to manage the fundraising for the charity’s regular annual income (c.£300k pa) and lead a capital fundraising campaign into its next phase (c.£1.1m over the contract term) to enable the establishment of a new day centre for people who are vulnerably housed.

This role brings with it the opportunity to have a direct and lasting impact on the long-term landscape of provision for the homeless and vulnerable in Milton Keynes. The income generated under this leadership role will enable us as a charity to continue to help rough sleepers at their point of crisis, but will also enable us to support people to maintain their tenancies and provide help to those who may be on a pathway to homelessness, thus having a direct impact on homelessness prevention.

We have been operating to support homeless people in crisis for the last 10 years and were formally established as a charity in 2012. We currently have 12 members of staff, 10 of whom are part-time .

We provide overnight accommodation and meals to homeless and vulnerable people who would otherwise be rough sleeping in Milton Keynes during the coldest months of the year (November–March). We work in partnership with churches and community centres across the city who provide their facilities as an overnight venue and operate with a body of around 800 volunteers each season to provide beds, meals and overnight supervision. We also provide year-round welfare support from our centre, Unity Park Station, enabling our guests to access drug and alcohol support services, to obtain housing advice, move on to longer-term accommodation and to find work.

This winter, due to Covid-19, we are unable to operate overnight accommodation in the usual way but are supporting the government’s ‘Everyone In’ policy and focusing on the provision of welfare support and food provision.

The Trustees of the charity recognise a growing need for support for people who are newly or vulnerably housed, with people struggling to maintain personal stability and tenancies in the longer term. The economic impacts of the pandemic are increasing need and making need more acute for the foreseeable future. To this end we are undertaking a capital fundraising campaign to establish a new day centre to provide services to people who are newly housed or at risk of homelessness (further details available on request to our Communications Assistant, contact details under 'How to apply'). The campaign following its initial stages represents c.£1.1m over the course of the contract.

The role of the Senior Fundraising Manager will involve:

• Setting fundraising strategy, targets and plans to achieve the charity’s objectives from a wide range of income streams.
• Managing the fundraising team including line managing the Fundraising Manager who will in turn have line management responsibility for a Fundraising Assistant (both part-time).
• Delivering the charity’s required operational income (c.£300k per financial year).
• Leading the c.£1.1m capital fundraising campaign for the new day centre.
• Contracting external services where required to supplement the skills or capacity of the team.
• Reporting to and carrying out the wishes of the Board of Trustees.

We are looking for someone with leadership qualities, with the ability to delegate and motivate others. They will need to be self-motivated and have good initiative, with an aptitude for organisation, strategic planning and managing budgets.

The right candidate will be a good communicator, confident in interactions with all people, with proven experience of raising 6-figure sums from a range of income streams. We are particularly interested in candidates with a track record of successful bid-writing to grant-making bodies, trusts and foundations.

The position will be based from home, attending meetings or events (usually in the Milton Keynes area) as needed.

The role brings with it the potential for longer-term employment and changes to contracted hours if successful.

A full job description outlining the accountabilities and preferred skills and experience required is available below.

To apply please send a CV with a covering letter/email outlining why you feel you have the necessary skills for this role to our Communications Assistant, Karen Cobbett, details available under 'How to apply'. The deadline for applications is 10 am on Monday 15th Feb.

Please be prepared to provide at least two appropriate references if asked to do so.

Shortlisted candidates will need to be available for online interviews on Tuesday 23rd February or the afternoon of Thursday 25th February (first stage) and Friday 26th February (second stage).

The WNSMK is an equal opportunities employer and welcomes applications from all people from any background. A DBS check will be required for the successful candidate.

Do you have significant experience of community engagement, including locally responsive delivery and evaluation, coupled with a proven track record in managing people in a large-scale organisation, ideally in the third sector? Then join Shelter as Head of Community Services and you could soon be responsible for the strategic and operational oversight of our Community Engagement programme.

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change — with individuals, in communities, across society – and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Our Community Hub model is a mechanism to deliver progressive impact, working within, and with, the community to help people to keep, find and improve their home. We currently have 12 Community Hubs in England and each one unlocks the potential to transform local housing and homelessness issues by aligning the expertise of Shelter with local partners. Our ambition is to build on our community engagement work in partnership with local organisations, groups and activists to drive change at local level, but striving to ensure that it’s people who have lived experience who are at the centre.

About the role
A key member of our Leadership Team, you’ll have strategic responsibility and oversight for Shelter’s Community services. We’ll rely on you to lead and inspire a team of managers to deliver high quality, integrated community responses to local housing and homelessness issues. Delivering a change programme with your managers to ensure Hubs inspire and enable people to support us in delivering change for individuals and communities will be important too. Indeed, influencing systemic change and driving improved practice will be at the heart of the role, as will developing internal and external networks and partnerships that support the delivery of an ambitious strategy. Undertaking and leading on key projects, providing strategic leadership and promoting and representing our services at all levels – all are facets of this challenging role.

About you
You’ll need a proven relevant track record, possibly gained in a range of sectors where you operated at a senior level with external audiences and engaged with, and influenced, a variety of stakeholders. You’ll also need demonstrable experience in financial planning and budget and contract management. Someone who thrives on working collaboratively with others for the good of the business, you’re adept at building a network of good relationships and have an innate ability to quickly develop a thorough understanding of an organisation and the wider sector. Last but not least, you’re a good listener and positive influencer who communicates clearly verbally and in writing and, where appropriate, is able to persuade others to change their views, intentions or actions.

Benefits 
We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.

As one of four Heads of Service reporting to (and on occasion deputising for), the Director of People, this role is responsible for a range of people operations and processes within the Trussell Trust. You’ll line-manage four People Partners (of whom one is currently leading a project on benefits and pay), two HR Coordinators and one administrator.

People Partners support our corporate functions, including Public Engagement; Policy & Research; and Strategy & Corporate Services. Specific projects for which you’ll be accountable will include (but aren’t limited to) our review of reward and benefits; the development and integration of new and improved HR services (including recruitment); contributing to key projects which support our workforce, including EDI and wellbeing. Your principal focus will be the projects, operations and programmes that you’re leading, but you will also need to keep abreast of our overall strategy and developments in the operating environment. Consistently high performance by your teams will be hugely valuable to the whole organisation, and you’ll be seen as a key leader across the Trust.

Strong candidates will be able to forge and nurture positive relations with stakeholders, and will be credible and inspirational to colleagues. Well-informed on relevant legislation and emerging best practice, you’ll have the organisational management experience to lead a significant department and complex projects. An excellent eye for detail, and the ability to engage teams to deliver high performance, are also essential. We don’t want specialism to get in the way of effectiveness across the board, so while your repertoire should include high competence and knowledge of recruitment, project planning and management, we will look to be reassured that you can lead strongly across the range of standard HR tasks in a small/medium sized organisation.

We are seeking an experienced, driven, highly motivated and strategically minded individual to become our Operations Manager. We are looking for someone who can work easily in a senior management role to ensure the smooth running and ongoing development of the organisation.

Last year, despite the enormous challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, we helped over 3,000 people to better understand and manage their mental health problems. With your help, we can make an even greater impact in the years ahead. Join us to help ensure our charity is ready to meet the growing needs of our communities.

We need an Operations Manager who can manage and develop a multidisciplinary team across a variety of workstreams and complex funding arrangements. This role requires significant experience and knowledge in the management of all facets of charity activity, and a proven ability to liaise with people at all levels. You will need to be confident in building and maintaining relationships with external stakeholders both regionally and nationally, and be commercially minded to achieve efficiency and cost effectiveness. You will have an understanding of data interpretation and how to use this to measure the impact of our work.

As a member of the senior management team, you will need to work effectively with the Board of Trustees and the CEO to develop strategies, policies and processes for the organisation. You will deputise for the CEO in their absence and provide capacity at a strategic level to ensure that Devon Mind is a leading light in the mental health sector.

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity with a nationwide network of adoption and homing centres, volunteer-run branches and charity shops. During 2019 we helped around 191,000 cats and kittens, an average of 520 per day.

Like all organisations, at Cats Protection we have had to change the way we operate to ensure that we continue to be there for cats throughout the COVID pandemic whilst keeping our people safe.

We are now looking to recruit three senior operations managers on a fixed term basis, to help consolidate this new way of working whilst we assess our longer term needs and future strategy. These senior roles will bring greater resilience and agility to our team, whilst also creating the capacity for continuous improvement and innovation in our operations.

These field operations roles will be home based and take on day to day responsibility for the safe and effective operation and governance of our network of 35 centres and nearly 200 volunteer led branches across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Wherever you are located, you will lead a team of managers remotely based across all corners of the United Kingdom, ensuring they effectively manage their teams enabling us to have the greatest positive impact for cats.

With a focus on collaboration, underpinned by excellent interpersonal skills, developed within large (ideally national scale) organisations, you will have a track record of effectively leading large complex teams of both employees and volunteers remotely. You will be comfortable and confident in leading innovation in a rapidly changing environment, based on your sound understanding of the current challenges of the UK animal welfare sector.

In addition to your day to day management responsibilities there will be the opportunity to lead a cross directorate specialism with a more strategic focus. Specialisms will be allocated post recruitment and include, a focus on our operational approach in the devolved nations of the UK, cat welfare, and operational change and innovation.

The post of CEO/Operations Manager will be central to the growth and development of Integration Support Servicesand will play a leading role in the promotion of positive policies and practices on issues relating to Migrants, Refugees and other BME groups.

Integration Support Services (ISS) is a small charity based in Harlow, West Essex which consists of a small team of paid staff and volunteers. The charity provides various services for the local community of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and BME groups living in Essex and Hertfordshire. The examples of the services provided by ISS are English lessons for adults, social events, talking groups, immigration advice, women’s group, children’s Saturday club, hate crime report centre, etc.

The CEO/Operations Manager will have executive responsibility for the strategic development and management of the organization, the preparation and implementation of the ISS strategic plan as developed, and for the growth and expansion of the organisation, under the supervision of and with the support of the Board of Trustees.

Reporting to the Chair and the Board of Trustees/Directors, the CEO/Operations Officer will have overall responsibility for service delivery, advocacy, policy development and research programmes.

The Covid 19 pandemic caused the charity to move all its services online. Previously we had a predominantly face-to-face service delivery model. We are financially stable with good funder relationships.

Integration Support Services has a track record of good service delivery since it was founded by a group of migrant volunteers in 2007. This is due in no small part to the dedication and hard work of our staff and volunteers.

ISS board of trustees keenly anticipate the challenge of 2021 and beyond: we are looking for a Chief Executive who can share this challenge by planning strategically, delivering change, providing leadership and piloting us confidently through rapidly changing times. The board are confident that with the right leadership ISS will be able to overcome all difficulties and turbulent times in our way.
