ALDER HEY CHILDRENS CHARITY

About us

Alder Hey Children’s Charity raises vital funds to help make Alder Hey Children’s Hospital a truly world-class, patient-friendly hospital for the 330,000 patients and families we care for every year.

The charity helps to fund a range of activities and projects that are designed to enhance and improve the lives of our amazing young patients. This includes the funding of specialist medical equipment to ensure our brilliant surgeons and clinical staff have the most up to date and cutting edge technology available and funding hi-tech distraction equipment designed and proven to reduce pain and anxiety in our patients. We also fund a range of programmes and special projects such as our ward musicians, our on-site magician and the play specialists we have on every ward.

In Spring 2020 we launched our £3m Children’s Mental Health Appeal. Our 7 in 10 Appeal highlights that 70% of young people with a mental health condition are currently missing out on vital mental health interventions at a sufficiently early age. The Appeal is aiming to raise vital funds to enhance inpatient and community mental health services at Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, enabling more children to access the treatment they need at the time they need it, an already vitally needed service which is seeing increasing demand due to the impact of Covid-19.  We have also recently launched our new Surgical Neonatal Appeal to raise £2.5m towards a brand new, state of the art Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the hospital.

We are recruiting for a Trusts and Foundations fundraising manager

15 hours a week: £8798 to be worked across 2 or 3 days FTE: £21,996

Home working considered

Beaumond House Hospice Care provides personalised care for you and your family, when every moment matters and aims to deliver outstanding hospice care, enabling our local communities to live well and die well.

We are seeking to appoint an experienced individual to the position of Trusts & Foundations Manager. The hospice is a registered charity that is committed to providing supportive palliative care to patients with life limiting or terminal illnesses and their families living in Newark & district, since 1987.

Beaumond House operates over an approximate radius of 15 miles from Newark. Each year we provide care for over 500 patients and support to their families, caring for around 150 patients at any one time.

The post will generate increasing levels of essential revenue and capital income for the hospice as we look to grow the offering to the local communities we serve.

You will be an energetic and creative individual, bringing Trust Fundraising knowledge to the team. You will be responsible for securing income from active and dormant audiences, focusing on donors and growing income from Trusts and Foundations.

Summary

The fundraising function was set up in 2019, establishing three areas of fundraising activity: patrons membership programme, legacies, and grant-giving.  We are now formalising these into an essential in-house function.  A Philanthropy and Membership Manager has been appointed who will look after individual giving, and we are now seeking a specialist Trusts and Foundations Manager.  This is a new post and a key position within St Edmundsbury Cathedral because a large proportion of our fundraising income will be restricted.  It is therefore designed for someone who is already experienced and successful in this area of fundraising activity.  We are seeking someone with the ability to work alongside busy colleagues to develop the best possible fundraising propositions for grant-givers and to introduce a robust approach to planning and a longer scoping of projects, so that applications are made in an orderly and strategic fashion.  You will have great writing and creative skills and be comfortable dealing with senior staff and trustees of the trusts and foundations.  In return, we offer flexibility on when you work your two days a week, and where, as well as a good remuneration package and friendly working environment.

Key Responsibilities of the post

• Develop trust funding income in support of the Cathedral Master Plan.
• Develop with colleagues a long-term trusts and foundations pipeline which identifies the key projects and programmes, which trusts will be applied to, and when.
• Research, identify and maximise opportunities for support from grant-givers.
• Write applications and reports to trusts, foundations, and statutory bodies.
• Be responsible for the stewardship of existing relationships and work with colleagues to fulfil grant monitoring and reporting requirements.
• Work with the Finance Team to ensure accurate reporting and reconciliation.
• Ensure that the work with trusts and foundations is compliant with all legal and regulatory requirements.
• Work with the Philanthropy and Membership Manager to consult with other cathedral fundraisers to select the best donor software system, receive training in how to use it and then take responsibility for migrating all grant-givers information onto this system and maintaining it thereafter.
• Build strong working relationships with grant givers, clergy, staff, volunteers, patrons and donors.

Person Specification

Important to have

• At least 3 years’ experience working in a trust fundraising role in the charitable sector
• Demonstrable success in making applications and presentations to grant-givers
• Strong IT literacy
• Initiative, creative, hard-working and resilient
• Empathy with the ethos of the Cathedral and the wider community
• Experience of using a fundraising database

Nice to have

• Fundraising qualification
• Experience of working within a faith-based organisation

You’ll be line-managing a talented Trusts Officer, and will also support other colleagues within the team who support trusts fundraising as part of their roles. You’ll need to have a collaborative and inspirational management style, able to coach and empower newer fundraisers to achieve their objectives and develop their skills. And you will enjoy being part of an ambitious and dynamic team; willing to support and contribute to the whole team’s income generation activities as needed.

Redthread has a strong grants portfolio but there is still plenty of room for development – it’s a real chance to make your mark. There are opportunities to engage large funders and solicit transformational gifts for Redthread’s work. In the last financial year, Charitable Trusts and Foundations were Redthread’s largest source of voluntary income so your work will make a demonstrable difference to young people’s lives. In a recent survey, 100% of Redthread’s London team said they feel their job makes a difference to young people’s lives every day, with 87% feeling like they help make the city safer for young people.

If you enjoy communicating service impact, working closely with frontline staff and with senior stakeholders, can identify strategic funding opportunities and are passionate about young people, we would like to hear from you. During the pandemic our teams have been working from home, but are now beginning to spend some days at home and some in the office in Victoria. We expect to be establishing a more permanent hybrid working pattern in the future, where the expectation will be that this role will spend at least some time per week in the office, or out meeting teams or funders.

In return, the successful candidate will receive a competitive salary, a supportive and flexible working environment, excellent staff training and development package and access to a range of employee benefits including; access to enhanced employee assistance programme services, employer pension scheme contribution, enhanced annual leave and family leave entitlements and more.

About Us

 

Young Epilepsy is the children and young people’s epilepsy charity. Our purpose is to create a society in which children and young people with epilepsy are enabled to thrive and fulfil their potential, in which their voices are respected, and their ambitions realised.

We work with children and young people across the UK, in four key areas of work in Education, Health, Research, Information and Support to young people with epilepsy. We are led by the young people we serve and our values are:

• Young people are at the centre of everything we do

The ideal candidate will demonstrate excellent communication skills written and verbal, logical thinking and excellent presentation skills.  Working transparently as a key player in a growing team, it is important that you are target driven, able to self-motivate, and contribute positively to influence the wider culture we work in. Clear demonstrable understanding of how Trusts and Foundations operate and award grants, and experience of charity fundraising is also highly beneficial.
