About The Access Project:

In the UK today, students from the most advantaged backgrounds are six times more likely to make it to a top university compared to their least advantaged peers. To change this, The Access Project supports students from disadvantaged backgrounds to access top universities, through a unique combination of tuition and in-school mentoring. We work with them to make good applications, get the grades and transition to university.

Our approach works: our students are more than twice as likely to place at top universities compared to similar peers.

Through the COVID crisis, we have remained student-focussed and continued our support by rapidly moving all provision online. In summer 2020, we were selected as a Tuition Partner for the highly competitive National Tutoring Programme, in recognition of the quality of our work. This partnership has enabled us to expand and we now serve 1,700 students in London, the East and West Midlands and Bradford. As the country emerges from COVID, tackling educational disadvantage is an urgent social challenge - a challenge we aim to meet by expanding our footprint and reaching more students than ever before.

Why we need you:

We want to provide an outstanding donor experience, bringing donors close to our mission and maintaining long-term relationships.

This is a new role primarily focused on supporting the delivery of our developing major donor programme through events, stewardship support and research. You will support the Partnerships Director, CEO and trustees in developing and maintaining these valuable relationships. You will also work with the wider Partnerships and Communications team to develop creative stewardship and engagement opportunities for a wide variety of supporters.

This is a varied role which could be suited to someone with experience of events management and wanting to forge a broader career in fundraising. This is a great opportunity to develop your fundraising skills in an environment open to learning and innovation.

We’re looking for someone with exceptional organisational skills, event management experience, an eye for detail and who enjoys research and writing. Just as important is creativity and an ability to understand people’s motivations for giving. You will be excited by our mission and the opportunity to bring our supporters closer to their positive impact on the lives of young people.

Events and engagement opportunities:

• Plan and manage donor cultivation and stewardship events, including dinners, receptions, partnership launches and donor project visits.
• Work with the wider Partnerships and Communications team to create and manage a calendar of events (face to face and online) to appeal to individual supporters as well as business, universities, and trust & foundation partners.
• Ensure that appropriate donors, prospects and influencers are invited to cultivation and stewardship events and attend these events where appropriate.
• Working with the Communications team to produce materials needed for events

Research:

• Carry out research into existing and potential major donors to The Access Project, in line with privacy regulations and charity policy.
• Working with our individual giving function, identify existing supporters who are prospects for major gifts and a mid-level giving.
• Ensure the upkeep of a database and filing system on all existing and prospective major donors.

Donor stewardship and development:

• Develop creative and inspiring stewardship ideas to bring major givers closer to our work.
• Develop a stewardship plan for supporters able to give in the region of £1,000-£10,000 per year and develop these relationships. Take responsibility for the fulfilment of this mid-value programme, including thanking, stewardship and potential gift up-lift.
• Develop one-to-one and one-to-few communications to optimise supporter experiences that maximise engagement.

General:

• Ensure that data security is maintained and that legal and regulatory requirements are fully complied with (such as Data Protection, ICO, Fundraising Regulator and, Institute of Fundraising Regulations).
• Keep informed of trends and developments in the UK fundraising marketplace and look to other charities for inspiration.

Person Specification:

What do our Youth Intervention team do?

Redthread empowers young people to thrive as they navigate the challenging transition to adulthood by integrating trauma-informed youth work into the health sector. Whether a young person has been the victim of a stabbing, is seeking support for anxiety, has suffered a sexual assault, or wants to find a new home beyond the reach of a gang, we support them to overcome the challenges they face through our dynamic youth work programmes.

Every year thousands of young people find themselves in hospital A&E departments as the victim of serious youth violence. Redthread’s Youth Violence Intervention Programme embeds youth workers in hospitals to intervene with these young people. The teams meet the young patients as soon as they can: in the A&E waiting room, on the ward, or even in the resuscitation bay. We believe that this moment of intense crisis, when the young person is nursing a serious injury in the daunting environment of a busy hospital, often alone, can be a catalyst for pursuing positive change – a ‘teachable moment’.

Our teams build rapport with the young people, mentor and advise them, and support them to make long-term positive plans to break away from cycles of violence and offending. Problems include exclusion from education, employment or training, a lack of stability in housing, mental health concerns, unstable relationships and reprimands due to criminal activity. Redthread capitalise on our partnerships to ensure long-term work and change is possible for each young person. The teams make well-judged referrals on their behalf and accompany them to initial meetings to ensure transition is smooth. This work disrupts the cycle that can too easily lead to devastated communities and an exhausted healthcare and justice system.
