An exciting moment to join us

YMCA England & Wales is entering one of the most exciting chapters in its fundraising history, launching our ambition to create 10,000 new homes for young people. Working alongside local YMCAs, we will support the development of new accommodation across the federation, helping young people move towards independence.

This role sits at the heart of that ambition.

You will lead the fundraising behind two critical components of the 10,000 Homes programme:
• Securing income from the public to build and sustain a central Centre of Expertise (mobilisation team), supporting local YMCAs to develop and deliver housing projects.
• Raising capital from individual supporters, mid-level donors and major donors to grow a replenishing national fund that provides upfront investment to unlock housing developments across the federation.

At the centre of this is the 10,000 Homes Fund: a bold, housing-focused proposition that offers the public a clear and tangible way to support young people into safe, stable accommodation. You will be responsible for growing this proposition, ensuring it resonates strongly with supporters and inspires giving at all levels.

You will lead an integrated public fundraising approach, bringing together individual giving, mid-level and major donors into one compelling, housing-led narrative. A key part of the role will be translating a complex, federated model into a simple, emotional and compelling case for support that connects with people’s motivations to give.

We’ve established strong early foundations and are now ready to scale. This role offers the opportunity to take a high-potential public fundraising proposition to the next level -expanding its reach, deepening supporter engagement, and unlocking significant new income.

We are looking for someone who is creative, data-driven and passionate about engaging the public to drive meaningful change for young people. We’re looking for someone comfortable working in a federated environment, with the ability to simplify complex ideas into compelling messages for the public.

The role

As Assistant Head of Fundraising (Public Fundraising), you will lead and inspire a team of talented fundraisers, deputising for the Head of Fundraising and taking ownership of our most ambitious programmes:

The 10,000 Homes Fund driving forward our flagship proposition across individual giving, cash appeals and mid-level audiences.

Major Donors shaping the strategy for high-net-worth relationships, new giving circles and development boards.

RoomSponsor, YMCA’s flagship regular giving product, now in its third year of an ambitious growth strategy. You will oversee a unique partnership model across 45 local YMCAs, support the income distribution process, and see first-hand the impact of your work through a programme that directly supports young people with safe accommodation.

Legacies working with the Senior Fundraising Manager and Head of Fundraising to define and grow what is set to become a landmark legacy programme.

This is a hands-on leadership role: you will set direction, manage budgets, develop your team, while also being prepared to step into delivery when it matters most. You will balance strategic oversight with practical execution, ensuring programmes are both ambitious and deliverable.

About you

You are an experienced public fundraising professional with a strong track record in individual giving or direct marketing, alongside a well-developed understanding of major donor fundraising. You know how to bring different disciplines together behind a single proposition and deliver results.

You are an effective and confident leader, able to build, motivate and develop high-performing teams. You create clarity, set high standards, and support others to do their best work, stepping in when needed and leading from the front.

You are at your best when driving a clear proposition forward. You are excited by the opportunity to take a compelling idea and translate it into something that engages the public, inspires generosity and delivers sustainable income.

You are energised by a challenge, comfortable with complexity and working in a federated environment, where success depends on strong relationships and shared ownership. You are skilled at working with partners, whether agencies, internal stakeholders or local YMCAs, and know how to align people around a common goal.

You combine strategic thinking with operational delivery. You are data-driven, using insight and performance to shape your decisions, and confident working with (and occasionally building) financial models to plan, test and scale activity. You bring both creativity and discipline, generating new ideas while ensuring they are grounded, deliverable and effective.

Above all, you are a strong communicator and influencer. You can simplify complex ideas into clear, compelling messages, build confidence with colleagues and stakeholders, and position fundraising as a critical enabler of impact.

Help us tell the story of a college that changes lives

WM College is an educational charity with a long-standing mission to support adult learners and the wider Camden community. We're looking for a creative, organised and people-focused Marketing & Events Coordinator to help tell our story — through engaging events, exhibitions and content that show what our learners achieve.

What you'll be doing

This is a genuinely varied role at the heart of college life. One week you might be coordinating a private view in our gallery; the next, capturing learner stories at our awards evening or helping welcome hundreds of visitors at an open day.

In this varied role, you'll:

• Help plan and deliver open days, exhibitions, private views, learner awards, craft fairs and other college events
• Create and schedule content for our website and social channels, capturing learner stories, photos and video along the way
• Liaise with learners, staff and local partners to celebrate what we do
• Keep the practical side running smoothly - event logistics, marketing administration and supplier coordination

Who we're looking for

You might be a marketing assistant, events coordinator or arts administrator - or you might come from somewhere else entirely. 

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Has experience in marketing and/or events - in any sector, though education, charity, arts or community experience is a bonus
• Enjoys working collaboratively and thrives in a purpose-driven environment 
• Can juggle priorities, stay organised, and communicate with warmth and clarity
• Is motivated by a mission to help others access education and lifelong learning
• Wants to join a new, growing team and help shape the college's future - no two days are the same

How and where you'll work:

• Part-time: 0.6 FTE (equivalent to three days a week)
• The salary is £16,949 - £18,245 per annum (pro-rata of £28,248 - £30,408 FTE)
• Hybrid working: our marketing team is in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and we'd ideally like you in for one or two of those days; the rest is flexible between home and office
• Occasional evening and weekend work to support events, planned well in advance - including two Saturday open days a year
• This post is subject to an enhanced DBS check, which we arrange

Why join us

By joining WM College, you'll be part of something special - helping us continue to offer inclusive, supportive education for those who need it most.

Interviews are scheduled for w/c 6th July (likely 7–8 July).

Help us achieve our vision that fewer people die by suicide.

About Depaul UK

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 Depaul UK was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, Depaul UK provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.

As our name suggests, the work of Depaul UK has been inspired by St. Vincent de Paul – a man who devoted his life to helping vast numbers of people throughout the 17th century. St. Vincent de Paul’s belief in the intrinsic worth of all people and his commitment to taking bold action remain central to our values today. Depaul UK now forms part of a family of Depaul charities around the world. We each focus on the specific challenges in our own countries, but we’re united by our shared values and mission to end homelessness.
