About Toynbee Hall

Based in the East End of London since 1884, Toynbee Hall is a charity working alongside people facing poverty, injustice, and inequality to build a fairer East London. We provide vital advice and support, working in partnership to tackle unfairness and ensure everyone has an equal chance to thrive.

We have recently launched a new strategic plan which reinforces that our purpose is to build a fairer future with an end to poverty, injustice and inequality.

We work towards this by:

• Addressing poverty and injustice through advice and support and influencing systemic change.
• Shifting power to people and communities affected by injustice and inequality.
• Collaborating to end poverty and build fairer systems and institutions. What we want to see in the world starts with our community and our organisation.

This means:

• Working together to build a thriving local community where people have the resources they need, feel their voices are heard and are optimistic about the future.
• Being a good employer, where people are treated fairly, feel engaged and empowered, and work together to achieve our shared vision.
• Acknowledging the role Toynbee Hall has historically played in civic society while recognising that our role now is to shift power, to be an effective partner, and to amplify voices that are less likely to be heard.

What we learn from our work in east London we use to inform and influence wider policy – working to influence change in structures, systems and policies.

We are looking for a passionate, skilled individual to join our diverse and talented team as Policy and Communications Manager.

We are a unique organisation that supports and champions London’s charities and community groups to contribute to a united, thriving and resilient London.

London Plus is a trusted partner of organisations across all London’s 32 boroughs, as well as key London-level organisations including the Greater London Authority and London Councils. We are looking to the future and planning to grow our strategic impact and effectiveness on behalf of the sector.

We are now looking to fill this brand new role, which will build on the solid foundations in place within the organisation to help us tell the story of London’s charity sector, effect positive change and connect with stakeholders to build our influence.

Be the first. Lead the way. Shape a brand-new major donor programme that will help ensure everyone gets the end-of-life care they deserve.

We’re hiring a Philanthropy Manager—and this isn’t just another fundraising role. You’ll be the first person in post, joining at a pivotal moment as we launch a dedicated strategy for high-value giving.

• Job title: Philanthropy Manager
• Salary: £46,785 per annum
• Location: London (WC1X), hybrid working—1–2 days a week in the office
• Working pattern: Full time, 35 hours per week
• Contract: Permanent
• Application deadline: 10am, Monday 2 June 2025

Why this Philanthropy Manager role is different:

• You’ll shape and deliver our first major donor strategy—with time, budget and realistic targets set over four years
• You’ll be supported by experienced high-value fundraisers and a brilliant Chair of Trustees who is active in peer-to-peer engagement
• You’ll help steward new and existing supporters identified through wealth screening, and craft compelling donor journeys
• You’ll also lead on our celebrity ambassador relationships—bringing a creative, strategic edge to the role

This is a chance to build something lasting. You'll design engagement plans, create powerful cases for support, and lead on securing significant gifts—helping us to support both direct services and national hospice sector advocacy.

What you’ll find here:

• A close-knit Philanthropy Team of three (soon to be four) with a collaborative, values-led approach
• A supportive, flexible workplace that centres staff wellbeing and trusts you to work in a way that suits you
• Opportunities for development and growth—through autonomy, mentoring, and working alongside senior leaders
• The chance to connect major donors with work that truly matters: supporting children and adults to live well until the end

What we’re looking for in our Philanthropy Manager:

• Experience in major donor fundraising, including securing significant gifts and stewarding high-value supporters
• Strong written and verbal communication skills—you’ll know how to engage, persuade and inspire
• Confidence managing a donor pipeline and CRM, and an eye for detail when it comes to strategy and reporting
• A genuine passion for our mission, and an approach that reflects our values: inclusive, compassionate, collaborative, knowledgeable and innovative

Want to be part of a cause that touches every life, and help ensure compassionate care is there for everyone who needs it?

Apply by 10am on Monday 2 June 2025.

Interviews will take place in person in London on 9 and 10 June.

Over the past decade Pembroke House’s activities in Walworth have grown considerably, with annual turnover rising from £200k to £1 million. Further growth is expected as a result of a new strategy anchored around five 10-year commitments to the neighbourhood, consolidation of our activities across two community buildings and continuing to build wide-ranging partnerships in Walworth.

We are looking for an experienced and skilled financial professional who can steward us through this crucial period of development.  You will be someone who combines a passion for our mission, a keen eye for detail and a flair for interpreting financial information and supporting non-specialists to make sound financial decisions. 

Days will be varied spanning everything from helping budget holders report to funders; preparing accurate financial reports and management accounts; to creating the budgets and frameworks for long-term financial planning. The rest of the core finance team comprises a Bookkeeper and a pro bono Payroll Officer based in Pembroke College, Cambridge. Other members of the team manage petty cash, look after the room hire business (including invoicing and credit control) and administer pensions. 

The trustee’s Finance and Risk Subcommittee formed two years ago and a new trustee position of Treasurer is currently being recruited. The Finance Manager will service and attend the subcommittee’s quarterly meetings and be the main contact point with the Treasurer between meetings.

As a new role there will be plenty of opportunity to mould finance operations across the organisation. Finance systems are currently in place, and have satisfied the auditor over the past few years, but there remains scope for improvement, including through automation and upskilling of the wider team.

About Pembroke House

Pembroke House is a centre for social action and residential community in Walworth, south-east London. 

We were founded in 1885, by students from Pembroke College, Cambridge, as one of the first settlement houses. Shocked by growing poverty and inequality, the pioneers of the settlement movement sought a new approach: taking up residence to live, work and solve problems alongside local communities. We continue to share a building with St Christopher’s church, which has its routes in the same student settlement.

For over 130 years, we’ve been working to bridge traditional divides and unite people – whatever their background or walk of life – in building a better Walworth.
