UK-based, hybrid working 

The Elders is seeking an experienced fundraiser to grow and diversify its income (traditionally dominated by large, long-term, unrestricted donations), at an exciting point in the organisation’s history. 

Founded by Nelson Mandela in 2007, The Elders brings together independent global leaders who use their experience, influence and moral authority to work for peace, justice, human rights and a sustainable planet. The Elders’ 20th anniversary in 2027 is an opportunity to help shape the organisation’s next phase of philanthropic support. 

This is a stand-alone, high-impact fundraising role for someone with the experience, ambition and global perspective to build trusted relationships with major donors and other philanthropic partners around the world. 

The role 

Reporting to the Director of Corporate Services and working closely with the Chief Executive and The Elders’ Advisory Council members, you will lead the development and implementation of The Elders’ fundraising strategy, with a particular focus on securing significant unrestricted funding alongside restricted support for specific projects. 

You will:

Manage donor budgets and reporting across multiple currencies. 

Contribute to the organisation’s long-term financial sustainability, including through exploring the possibility of setting up an endowment.

The 20th anniversary in 2027 will also provide exciting opportunities to develop new philanthropic relationships and secure funding for significant initiatives. 

About you 

You will have extensive experience securing major gifts of $500k+, together with a sophisticated understanding of global philanthropy, and the gravitas to represent The Elders with very senior audiences.

Experience of cross-border giving and international fundraising, with the confidence and interpersonal skills to build and maintain relationships across cultures and at a senior level. 

A track record of developing fundraising strategies and building long-term donor relationships. 

Strong financial literacy, including managing donor budgets across multiple currencies. 

A flexible, hands-on and collaborative approach, with a commitment to the mission of The Elders. 

Experience of working within diplomacy, advocacy or international affairs would be particularly valuable. 

The opportunity 

This is a rare opportunity to join a highly respected international organisation and make a direct contribution to its financial sustainability and continued ability to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. 

The role is based in the UK and you must have the right to work in the UK.

Fundraising Manager

£45,000 FTE | £27,000 actual salary
22.5 hours per week | Part-time | Hybrid – Ilford, Essex

Ready to take the lead and make your mark?

The Dream Factory creates life-changing dreams for children and young adults aged 3–25 who are living with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, severe disabilities and serious illnesses.

Every dream we grant creates something incredibly precious: an experience to look forward to, a chance for families to spend special time together and memories that can last a lifetime.

We are now looking for an experienced and relationship-focused Fundraising Manager to help us grow our income, strengthen our supporter relationships and enable us to grant even more dreams.

This is more than an opportunity to manage an existing fundraising programme. You'll have the chance to help shape the future of fundraising at The Dream Factory.

Working just 22.5 hours across three days a week, this could be an ideal opportunity for an experienced fundraiser looking for greater flexibility alongside the chance to take real ownership of a fundraising function.

Could this be your next step?

You may already be a Fundraising Manager, or you could be an experienced Senior Fundraiser, Corporate Fundraiser, Community Fundraiser or Partnerships Fundraiser who's ready to take the next step and lead a fundraising function.

You don't need to be an expert in every area of fundraising.

We're looking for someone who knows how to build strong relationships, spot opportunities, turn ideas into income and inspire others to support a cause.

You'll be someone who enjoys thinking strategically but is equally happy rolling up your sleeves and making things happen.

What you'll be doing

Working closely with our small and committed team and Board of Trustees, you will take the lead on developing our fundraising and building sustainable income for the charity.

You'll have the opportunity to:

• shape and deliver our fundraising plans and priorities
• develop new corporate partnerships and build relationships with local and national businesses
• grow our community fundraising and individual giving
• develop fundraising campaigns, events and new income opportunities
• nurture existing supporters and develop long-term relationships
• identify opportunities to increase and diversify income
• manage and support colleagues involved in fundraising activity
• develop the systems and processes needed to support effective fundraising
• monitor fundraising performance and provide updates to the Board
• bring your own ideas, experience and creativity to the role.

This is a hands-on position. We are looking for someone who is excited by the opportunity to both lead fundraising and get involved in delivering it.

You won't be doing it alone

We know that asking one person to “lead all fundraising” can sound like a big ask – particularly in a part-time role.

That's why it's important to us that candidates understand that you will be joining an established charity with a committed staff team, supportive Board, existing supporters and fundraising relationships.

You'll also have external support for our trusts and foundations fundraising, allowing you to focus your time on developing other areas of income and building relationships that can help The Dream Factory grow.

You'll have the freedom to bring new ideas, test different approaches and help us decide where our greatest fundraising opportunities lie.

Who we're looking for

We're much more interested in what you can do than where you've worked.

You'll probably have experience of generating income through one or more areas of fundraising, rather than necessarily having worked across every income stream.

We'd particularly love to hear from you if you:

• have experience of successfully generating fundraising income
• are confident building relationships with supporters, businesses and partners
• can identify and develop new fundraising opportunities
• are comfortable taking ownership and working independently
• can balance planning with hands-on delivery
• communicate confidently and can inspire people to support a cause
• are organised and able to manage competing priorities
• enjoy working as part of a small team where everyone contributes
• share our determination to create extraordinary experiences for children, young adults and their families.

Experience of corporate, community or individual giving would be particularly valuable, but we don't expect you to arrive with experience of everything.

If you have strong fundraising experience, great relationship-building skills and the ambition to step up and lead, we'd encourage you to apply.

Why join The Dream Factory?

Because in a small charity, you can see the difference you make.

You'll have genuine ownership of fundraising and the opportunity to shape how it develops.

You'll work directly with a passionate team and Board, build relationships with supporters and partners and see the direct connection between the income you help generate and the dreams we're able to make come true.

This role offers:

• £45,000 FTE salary (c£27,000 actual)
• 22.5 hours per week across three days
• hybrid working
• genuine autonomy and the opportunity to shape fundraising strategy
• the chance to develop your experience as a fundraising leader
• an opportunity to make a visible and lasting difference within a small charity.

For someone who has been waiting for the opportunity to take the lead, introduce their own ideas and build something, this could be that opportunity.

About The Dream Factory

The Dream Factory grants dreams to children and young adults aged 3–25 with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions, severe disabilities and serious illnesses.

Our dreams are about much more than one special day. They give children and young people something positive to focus on, create opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach and give families precious experiences and memories together.

We are a small charity with big ambitions and our ability to reach more families depends on growing sustainable fundraising income.

That's where you come in.

Interested?

If you're an experienced fundraiser looking for a flexible role where you can have genuine influence or you're ready to take the next step in your fundraising career – we'd love to hear from you.

Please don't be put off if you don't meet every single point in the job description. If you believe you have the fundraising experience, relationship-building skills and enthusiasm to make a difference at The Dream Factory, we'd encourage you to apply.

Could you jointly lead an organisation with bold ambition to end homelessness in Bristol - and put inclusion at the heart of how you lead?

This is a rare opportunity to share leadership, accountability and impact for Caring in Bristol - an ambitious, independent charity working towards a simple but powerful vision: 'No one is homeless in our city'.

We're looking for a Co-Director to take the lead on Finance, Fundraising and People functions.

Location: Hybrid, Bristol (60% onsite, open to negotiation where adjustments may be required)
Salary: £54,550-£61,245 FTE, depending on experience
Contract: Permanent, 0.8-1.0 FTE (30 or 37.5 hours)
You'll also receive 33 days' annual leave including bank holidays (pro rata if part time), flexible working, an enhanced 5% pension contribution, an individual learning and development budget, clinical supervision and group reflective practice.

Caring in Bristol believes everyone should be treated with dignity, respect and fairness. We're committed to building a diverse and inclusive organisation where people feel they belong and can thrive.

We're looking for a Co-Director who will champion equality, diversity and inclusion through organisational culture and practice - someone who values lived experience, listens to different perspectives and creates a safe, supportive environment where people can do their best work.

You'll join at an exciting point in Caring in Bristol's development, sharing leadership of an organisation that believes homelessness is not inevitable and is working across the city to prevent it, respond to housing emergencies and create lasting change.

About the role

This definitely isn't your everyday, run-of-the-mill Director or CEO role. You'll have a unique opportunity to co-create and collaborate on your own leadership model, alongside the existing Co-Director, with joint responsibility for strategy, performance and culture.

Taking a lead on finance, fundraising, people and HR, internal operations and governance, you'll make sure people, systems and resources are working effectively to deliver on mission and maximise impact.

Together, you'll make co-leadership work by building trust, challenging each other constructively, bringing complementary strengths and sharing accountability. Alongside the Board, team and people with lived experience, you'll build the confidence, capacity and resources Caring in Bristol needs to deliver its ambition and create lasting change.

We're looking for a different kind of leader

You might be an experienced charity leader, or have come up through finance, operations, organisational development, HR or income generation. You may have taken a less conventional route into leadership. We really don't expect you to tick every box.

We're looking for senior leadership experience, the ability to build a sustainable organisation with strong income and people foundations - plus a genuine passion for developing inclusive, high-performing teams. But just as importantly, we want to understand how you lead.

You'll be someone who:

• champions equality, diversity and inclusion and values lived experience
• embodies curiosity, collaboration, creativity and tenacity
• listens, communicates openly and brings people with them
• balances collaboration with clear, accountable decision-making
• builds trust and is committed to learning and continuous improvement

Knowledge of homelessness, housing or Bristol's voluntary sector would be useful, but it isn't essential. What matters most is your leadership style, values and desire to end homelessness.

Inclusion really matters

We know some groups are under-represented in our workforce, and we're committed to changing that. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of homelessness and those from backgrounds under-represented in the charity sector.

We're committed to making recruitment inclusive and accessible. We can offer flexible working and reasonable adjustments throughout the process, and if written applications don't allow you to show your strengths, we're happy to accept audio or video responses too.

Interested?

If you're excited by the chance to help create a Bristol where no one is homeless, we'd love to hear from you. And if you're thinking "I'm not sure I'm the typical candidate" - please don't let that stop you getting in touch.

To register your interest, a CV or draft profile is a great first step. You can send this to Amelia Lee at Charity People directly through the application channel on this website, or just get in touch to request the full job pack.

Closing date: 9am on Monday 14th September

Interview dates are currently being agreed, likely to happen early-mid October.

Are you an experienced Business Analyst with a passion for improving systems, shaping future solutions and delivering meaningful change?

Blue Cross is embarking on an exciting project to review and replace its Practice Management System (PMS), the technology that supports our veterinary hospitals and clinical services. We're looking for an experienced Business Analyst to help us understand our current processes, identify future requirements and support the selection of a new system that meets the needs of our organisation for years to come.

This is a unique opportunity to lead a significant discovery and procurement project, working across veterinary, clinical, operational and support functions to help shape the future of service delivery at Blue Cross.

We are recruiting one Business Analyst who can be based from either our Burford or London office. While you may see this opportunity advertised in multiple locations, this is a single 12-month fixed-term role supporting our Practice Management System replacement project.

More about the role

As the PMS Business Analyst, you will lead the discovery phase of our Practice Management System replacement project.

You'll work closely with stakeholders across the organisation to understand how our current systems and processes support service delivery, where opportunities exist for improvement and what capabilities we require from a future solution.

You'll develop a clear picture of business needs across multiple functions, evaluate available options in the marketplace and support the procurement and tender process to help identify the best solution for Blue Cross.

Your work will provide the foundations for one of the organisation's most significant technology investments and will directly influence how we support pets, owners and colleagues in the future.

What you will be doing

• Leading business analysis activities for the Practice Management System replacement project
• Engaging with veterinary, clinical, operational and support teams to understand current processes, challenges and requirements
• Mapping existing ("as is") processes and identifying opportunities for improvement
• Developing future-state process maps and requirements documentation
• Facilitating workshops, interviews and stakeholder engagement activities
• Gathering, analysing and prioritising business requirements
• Identifying functional, operational, reporting and data requirements for a future system
• Researching and evaluating solutions available within the market
• Supporting the development of tender documentation and procurement requirements
• Assisting with supplier evaluation and solution assessment activities
• Producing analysis, recommendations and supporting documentation to inform decision-making
• Working collaboratively with project stakeholders to ensure organisational needs are clearly understood and represented

About you:

You'll be an experienced Business Analyst who enjoys understanding how organisations work and helping them make informed decisions about technology and change.

You will have a strong track record of leading discovery and requirements gathering activities, with the ability to engage confidently with a wide range of stakeholders. You'll be comfortable analysing complex information, identifying opportunities for improvement and translating business needs into clear and structured requirements.

We're particularly interested in candidates who have worked on system selection, procurement or transformation projects and who can balance operational realities with long-term strategic needs.

Experience of working within veterinary, healthcare, clinical or other service-focused environments would be advantageous, although not essential.

Essential Qualifications, Skills, and Experience

• Understanding of operational or clinical service environments
• Proven experience in business analysis across systems, processes or organisational change
• Strong requirements elicitation skills, including workshops, interviews, observation and document analysis
• Experience of process modelling (‘as is’ and ‘to be’)
• Ability to translate business needs into structured requirements and specifications
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
• Experience supporting solution design, testing and validation activities
• Analytical thinking and problem‑solving capability
• Understanding of change impacts and supporting adoption
• Ability to demonstrate, understand and apply Blue Cross values
