If you enjoy building, testing and growing income in a collaborative and mission-driven environment, we would love to hear from you.
Why this role matters
This is more than a fundraising leadership role. It is about shaping the financial sustainability of Alopecia UK, embedding a confident and ambitious income culture, and ensuring our impact is communicated with clarity, integrity and inspiration.
The successful candidate will help ensure that more people can access support, that our voice grows stronger, and that our mission is sustained for the long term.

Alongside this, the Senior Fundraising Manager will assess and determine which early opportunities for growth should be prioritised.

This is a strategic and outward-facing leadership role focused on growing philanthropic income.
Working closely with the Chief Executive and your Co-Head of Development, you will help drive our fundraising strategy and develop a strong pipeline of new funding opportunities, with a particular focus on professional adviser engagement.
You will also play a key role in developing our approach to legacy giving, helping to build long-term relationships and position Kent Community Foundation as a trusted partner for planned giving.
Key responsibilities include:
- Identifying and developing new philanthropic opportunities across Kent and Medway
- Building relationships with professional advisers, including solicitors, accountants and wealth managers
- Developing and stewarding relationships with professional advisors involved in estate planning, to strengthen the pipeline of potential legacy pledgers and legacy income

- Growing and managing a pipeline of prospective donors and fundholders
- Representing Kent Community Foundation across networks, events and professional forums
- Developing proposals and conversations that lead to new charitable funds, legacy pledges, and long-term partnerships
- Contributing to the strategic leadership of the Foundation’s development work
We are looking for someone who enjoys connecting people with purpose and who is motivated by the opportunity to grow philanthropy locally.
You might currently work in philanthropy, partnership development, professional adviser engagement, or business development.
We would also welcome applications from candidates working in professional services, financial services or other relationship-led roles who are interested in applying their skills to growing local philanthropy. We are looking for someone who is:
- A confident relationship builder and natural networker
- Strategic and proactive in developing opportunities
- Comfortable engaging with senior stakeholders and philanthropists
- Motivated by supporting communities across Kent and Medway
Why Join Us?
- Be part of an organisation making a real difference across Kent and Medway
