You will also lead the development of our other income streams including trusts and foundations, events, earned income, and pro bono partnerships.
As a valued member of the senior management team, you will work closely with the board, Chief Executive and senior leadership colleagues to shape and deliver our strategy and business plan and develop our charity and our people.
