Khulisa (meaning ‘to nurture’ in Zulu) is an award-winning national charity with South African roots. Since 2007, Khulisa have developed a reputation as experts in supporting young people at risk of exclusion through therapeutic, safe exploration of behaviour which is deemed as ‘disruptive’ or ‘challenging’, and in many cases is symptomatic of the impact of trauma, abuse and neglect.

We have worked in prisons since 2007 and in schools and pupil referral units (PRUs) since 2011, delivering SEL (social and emotional learning) programmes. It is now widely accepted that children’s social skills are more accurate predictors of their health, wealth and criminal history in later life than IQ or social background. Khulisa’s team of therapists and programme managers work with young people to provide a range of interventions, designed to build social and emotional skills. Over time we have also realised the importance of young people being in an environment which responds effectively to their emotional needs. As a result, we now take a whole-school approach, delivering our interventions in tandem with professionals, providing  training and resources for teachers and parents/carers.

Khulisa is a charity funded predominantly by grants from Trusts and Foundations and sales. With a team of 18 staff and 11 freelance facilitators, we support over 1,000 young people and train over 3,000 professionals each year. Our key partners include schools, and local authorities. We are members of London Youth, Clinks, the SCYJ and other community groups which promote the wellbeing of vulnerable young people. 

Why Now?

Khulisa is responding to rapidly increasing demand for services, caused in part by the impact of Covid-19 and subsequent lockdowns which left many vulnerable children isolating in harmful or disrupted environments. We’ve worked tirelessly to meet this heightened demand and our team is growing quickly. This year we’re looking at 50% growth, with an aim to provide 350 young people with intensive support, and thousands more through light touch interventions and systemic change.

In order to make this happen, and to continue expanding our delivery across both London, the North West and Midlands, we are looking for an exceptionally talented fundraiser to support our income generation, and growth. You’ll be joining us at an exciting time as we launch a series of innovative new services across new schools, and drive new strategies to on-board values-aligned funders. As a result you’ll have the opportunity to develop your skills in different areas of fundraising make as well as make a sustainable difference to young people as part of a team delivering long-term direct and systemic change.

We invest and nurture our team, providing regular opportunities for connection, learning and development. With rapid growth underway, there is also plenty of opportunity to also develop your career and skill set. 

We can’t wait to meet you!

The Hospice Charity Partnership, formed from Birmingham St Mary’s and John Taylor Hospices, is looking for a Fundraising Insights Manager to join the Income Generation Team.

Are you an experienced Data Manager? Do you have experience of gathering and analysing data in the third sector and sharing your insight with colleagues?

If so then we have a fantastic opportunity for you to join the fundraising team as a Fundraising Insights Manager.

Working to support The Hospice Charity Partnership in achieving its vision to reach more people across our communities and growing voluntary income.

This role is responsible for the management of the Donorflex CRM system, which incorporates all data for fundraising and engagement purposes and records all voluntary gifts and Gift Aid.

Working across the department, you will take ownership for the delivery of high-quality data processing, ensuring systems capture the right data about supporters so the charity can plan insight-led activities to raise the voluntary income needed for The Hospice Charity Partnership (HCP) to achieve its goals.

Reporting directly to the Head of Fundraising Partnerships & Supporter Experience one of your main objectives will be to collect & analyse data to understand who our supporters are and how we can enhance and maximise income and engagement utilising this information.

The ideal candidate will have substantial experience of managing and working with fundraising databases, good analytical skills, attention to detail and problem solving, as well as the ability to interpret information and quickly assimilate data and spot inconsistencies/patterns. Significant experience of working in a fundraising setting directly supporting donors and having a comprehensive understanding of the supporter journey and related processes would be an advantage, as well as a thorough understanding of data protection and confidentiality in the context of fundraising and finance.

If you have the skills and expertise and want to make a difference to people living with a life-limiting illness, this could be the role for you.

We do not have a sponsor’s licence and are unable to support Visa applications.

We value each person as an individual - whether they are colleagues, patients, family members, carers or supporters, every person matters. We embrace diversity of culture, background and environment knowing it enriches our workplace and our relationships with our local communities. We are committed to building a culture of inclusion and belonging. We would love to hear from you; about what makes you uniquely you, and how this opportunity will support you to succeed.

Candidates can be put off applying for a job when they have caring responsibilities and may not think they can achieve the flexibility they need. We are keen to hear from you, and whilst we can’t accommodate every flexible working request, we’ll try to find a practical solution.

We are seeking an ambitious and energetic fundraising manager to lead the stewardship and growth of QSA’s supporter income – building on a base of highly loyal individual supporters and Quaker meetings around the UK – and to support the head of fundraising and communications in growing other areas of fundraising, especially from trusts and foundations. 

In the last two years we have introduced fundraising challenge events and are developing plans for supporter engagement events and potentially a patron scheme. The fundraising manager will need to drive forward these initiatives as well as bringing their own ideas for acquiring new supporters and developing major donors.

The fundraising manager will also play an important role in maintaining and growing QSA’s portfolio of grants, and will ideally bring experience of securing £50k-plus funding agreements from trusts/foundations or the public or corporate sectors.
