We’re looking for someone to join our team to help us generate income from smaller trusts and foundations. 

For families facing tough times, a holiday is a much-needed break from the day to day, as well as giving space and time to breathe, and think differently.  Families report feeling happier, creating memories and feeling more confident to face the future. With an estimated 2.2m families in the UK unable to access a break, the need is strong. More funding will help us reach more people – obviously – and this is where you come in.

 This role is important in helping us share the short- and long-term impact of our work with a network of established funder relationships. We currently secure around £150k per year from these relationships through a series of small gifts. We’re keen to build on this by ensuring we continue to communicate, engage and apply for funds from these existing relationships, while also looking to develop relationships, and build a pipeline and timeline for new applications.

You’ll help us prepare for more ambitious multi-year funding bits, but with the support of a contracted freelancer who has expertise in this area.

This is a full-time role. We work on a hybrid basis – for Family Holiday Charity this means around 2 days of collaborative working in our London office (near Borough – more later in the pack) mixed with home working. 

You’ll have a lot of autonomy and ownership to shape and create this role in line with our strategic ambitions – and in line with yours.

If you’re looking for a fresh challenge, where you can build on an established base rather than having to start from scratch, this could be the role for you!

36% of children from disadvantaged backgrounds leave primary school in England each year unable to read to the expected standard. Innovations for Learning (IFL) is a charity focused on using technology to close this literacy gap through a unique online reading support programme called TutorMate. 

About Innovations for Learning

Innovations for Learning (IfL) is a small but growing charity, which is working to ensure that every child in the UK acquires the literacy skills they need for their to thrive and fulfil their potential. Many children fall behind with reading simply because they lack the opportunity to practise. TutorMate addresses this problem by using a bespoke internet platform to pair volunteer tutors from corporate organisations with struggling pupils. TutorMate has been proven to improve the literacy outcomes, confidence and reading enjoyment of young children from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our model is to partner with local and national businesses which recruit their own employees as volunteer readers and provide funding for the programme. TutorMate pairs struggling children (5- to 7-year-olds) with adult volunteers who use a bespoke internet platform and a voice connection to link – from their workplace or home – to a dedicated classroom laptop for 30 minutes a week, during the school day, over an entire academic year.  Up to ten children in each Year 1 or Year 2 class participate, giving the programme a reach and scale that no school is able to achieve with parent or community volunteers.

We have set ourselves an ambitious target of supporting 4,000 children by 2024. By securing 25% of our income from trusts and foundations,  this role will be pivotal in ensuring we meet this target.
