This is a unique opportunity to drive innovation, inspire generosity, and help secure the future of our work for generations to come. 

At Age UK Oxfordshire, legacy gifts are one of our most powerful sources of voluntary income—made possible by the generosity and foresight of our supporters. As we launch an ambitious new strategy to double our voluntary income by 2030, we’re investing in the future of legacy fundraising like never before.

We’re looking for a passionate and strategic Legacy Marketing Officer to lead the next phase of our legacy programme. This role is about more than marketing—it’s about embedding a culture where every member of staff understands and champions the importance of legacy giving. You’ll help us build meaningful long term relationships with supporters and local solicitors, while also strengthening the systems and processes that underpin long-term success.

This is a unique opportunity to drive innovation, inspire generosity, and help secure the future of our work for generations to come. We are seeking a goal orientated marketing specialist who is passionate about inspiring transformative change in Oxfordshire for older people and unpaid carers for years to come.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for identifying funding opportunities, crafting compelling grant applications, and securing the resources we need to expand our impact. You’ll work closely with teams across the organisation to shape fundable projects and ensure our proposals reflect both our strategic priorities and the needs of the communities we serve.

At Age UK Oxfordshire, grants from charitable trusts and foundations are a vital source of income—enabling us to deliver life-changing services for older people and unpaid carers across the county. As we implement an ambitious new strategy to double our voluntary income by 2030, we’re investing in the growth of our trust fundraising to help bring that vision to life.

We’re looking for a skilled and proactive Trusts and Foundations Manager to lead this work. In this role, you’ll be responsible for identifying funding opportunities, crafting compelling grant applications, and securing the resources we need to expand our impact.

At Children’s University Trust, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive through learning beyond the classroom. We’re a small, passionate team with bold ambitions to expand our impact – and we’re looking for an equally ambitious Business Development and Community Partnership Manager to lead the way.

This is more than just a development role. It's about building sustainable growth strategies, forging powerful partnerships, and shaping a future where opportunity is no longer defined by postcode or circumstance.

As our Business Development and Community Partnership Manager, you will take the lead in shaping and implementing visionary, data-driven growth strategies across three vital areas:

• Place-based memberships with schools, universities, councils’ departments, and third sector organisations.
• Individual “at home” subscriptions for children in areas without direct Children’s University provision or those who do not engage with traditional education.
• Strategic business partnerships with corporates and SMEs, securing vital funding and in-kind support.

You’ll be a key figure in our next phase of growth — identifying new opportunities, building meaningful relationships, and helping us scale our reach across the UK.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive new business activity and revenue growth across all three strategic areas.
• Build a strong, inclusive pipeline of potential members, partners, and funders.
• Manage and nurture relationships from first contact through to long-term collaboration.
• Use data and insight to shape decision-making and report progress to the board.
• Be a passionate ambassador for Children’s University at events, conferences, and online.

We’re Looking for Someone Who:

• Has a proven track record in income generation, partnerships or sales – all sector’s welcome!
• Is passionate about improving the lives of children and young people.
• Is a strategic thinker with the energy of a new business developer.
• Has the confidence to influence senior stakeholders and the empathy to build trust.
• Brings a creative, collaborative, and resilient mindset.
• Thrives in a fast-paced, flexible, remote-first environment.

Why Join Us?

• A unique chance to shape a growing national charity’s development strategy.
• A collaborative, driven team that values innovation and purpose.
• Flexible working, with one day a week in Manchester.
• An opportunity to truly change lives through education and opportunity.

If you’re excited by the chance to lead sustainable growth with purpose, and you want your work to matter, we want to hear from you.

Apply today and be part of a team creating a brighter future for children across the UK.
