Supporter care jobs

About the Shrine

For centuries, the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham in Norfolk has welcomed pilgrims, visitors and communities seeking reflection, connection and renewal.

It remains one of the UK’s most significant centres of pilgrimage. Each year, we receive around 10,000 residential pilgrims and over 100,000 visitors. Our work also includes education programmes, school visits and resources to support the teaching of Christianity in schools and parishes. We are committed to being a place of welcome for all, with particular care for those who come seeking hope, support and a sense of belonging.

Fundraising at the Shrine

The Shrine is supported by donations, membership, legacies and grants, and receives no statutory funding. 
We are now establishing a more structured and professional approach to fundraising and this role will play an important part in supporting the delivery of that activity and helping to build a sustainable income base for the future.

Why this role now?

As the Shrine develops a more proactive approach to fundraising, we are looking for someone who can help ensure that activity is well-organised, consistent and effective.
This is an opportunity to join at an early stage and help build the systems, processes and supporter relationships that will underpin long-term growth.

At Dandelion Time, we support children facing significant emotional challenges, often, but not always, rooted in adverse childhood experiences such as domestic violence, abuse, or neglect. Our systemic, trauma‑informed approach focuses on the whole family, helping them build healthier relationships, create positive change, and move towards brighter futures.

Nature is at the heart of everything we do. Through hands‑on activities in the natural world, children and families connect with the earth, plants, animals and with each other.

About the Role 

You will play a key role in delivering our therapeutic programme. Reporting to the Therapeutic Programme Manager and supporting the Family Caseworker, you will help plan, prepare and facilitate meaningful therapeutic sessions for children and their families. This may include leading group sessions supported by Teaching Assistants or collaborating with teaching staff involved in each child’s care.

Why Join Us?

You’ll be part of a welcoming, energetic and committed team making a real difference in the lives of vulnerable children. The work is deeply rewarding, offering the opportunity to help families rebuild relationships and create new beginnings.

What can you bring to Dandelion Time?

To thrive in this role, you will have experience supporting disadvantaged children or those with SEND.  It would be helpful, but not essential, to have an understanding of the challenges faced by parents and carers managing their own wellbeing. Experience as a Youth Leader, Scout Leader, Forest School Leader, or in a similar child‑centred, outdoor or community role, will be a real asset.

You’ll have a genuine passion for hands‑on, creative activities, whether that’s crafting, working with the land, or caring for animals. An interest in our land‑to‑table ethos, including the preparation and cooking of healthy, nutritious food, will help you feel right at home.

Above all, you’ll bring a warm, joyful presence to the families you support, helping to create a safe, nurturing environment where children can grow, explore and flourish.

Temporary contract

This is a temporary position for 10 months, ideally commencing in early September and continuing until the end of the school year (July 2027). However, our priority is to appoint the right candidate, and we would be willing to offer some flexibility on the start date to accommodate this.

Are you an expert in stewardship and donor care, and have experience in managing Individual Giving income streams?

Designed by families, for families, The Ark was opened in September 2019 by the Mayor of London. The grounds offer wheelchair accessible outdoor experiences, including a Woodland Walk through a 7-acre nature reserve, a hydrotherapy pool and overnight suites for families to be close to their loved ones. At The Ark we are able to provide Specialist Care and Nursing for babies, children and young people, supporting their full clinical, emotional, social and practical needs. We have created a space where children who are seriously unwell are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.

Rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, the charity has had a sustained period of growth over the last two years and we are looking for high quality employees to come and be a part of that success.

Our expert staff and trained volunteers provide clinical, emotional and practical support for families across North and Central London and Herts Valley. We carefully adapt our support for every child and offer it wherever it is required - whether in their home, their community or at our state-of-the-art children’s hospice building, The Ark, in Barnet.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Supporter Engagement Manager position is a pivotal role in the Public Fundraising team, comprising seven specialist Fundraisers. The post-holder is responsible for driving growth in our Individual Giving programme through a mix of acquisition and retention campaigns.

Key internal relationships include the Head of Supporter Engagement and the Fundraising Management team.

ABOUT YOU

You will be a dedicated, organised and experienced Individual Giving specialist, with proven expertise in Supporter stewardship.

The Public Fundraising team is part of the wider Income Generation and Communications team based in our hospice, at The Ark. We are a close-knit, highly supportive, high-performing team of 19. There is continuous collaboration. We help each other whenever we can. This set-up inspires you.
