Income and Engagement Specialist

Are you a senior engagement specialist or fundraising leader who can see the big picture and also knows how to make things work brilliantly day to day? Do you believe that great systems and smart data only matter if they help you build more meaningful relationships with real people?

At Mencap, we’re at a genuinely exciting point in our journey. Our new strategy, Mencap 2030, sets out a bold ambition for the future, and engaging and growing our supporter base is central to making it happen. We’ve made significant investment in our engagement capability, including a state-of-the-art CRM, alongside face-to-face fundraising and digital innovation.

We’re now looking for an experienced leader to step into a senior interim role, providing stability, leadership and momentum across our engagement activity during a period of transition.

This role will lead all of our mass fundraising and engagement activity, including Individual Giving, Legacies, Community & Events Fundraising, and Supporter Care. It is a senior, influential role shaping how supporters experience Mencap, how we grow income sustainably, and how we build long-term relationships rooted in trust and shared values.

As part of the interim remit, the role will also provide operational oversight and support to our High Value Relationships team, working closely with the interim Executive Director of Fundraising and other colleagues to ensure continuity, strong performance management and clear oversight of income and KPIs during this period.

You’ll bring strategic vision and clarity, alongside strong operational judgement. You’ll know how to turn insight into action, how to use data intelligently (without losing the human touch), and how to lead teams through change with confidence and care. You’ll be comfortable holding performance, using financial and KPI information to support delivery and decision-making.

Just as importantly, you’ll recognise that our supporters aren’t just numbers or segments – they’re individuals who care deeply about our work and want to feel connected to the difference they’re helping to make.

You’ll lead the place where Mencap’s fundraising brand, proposition, and voice really come to life, designing experiences, appeals, campaigns and supporter journeys that reflect the voices and lived experiences of people with a learning disability and show the world why our work matters.

This is a full‑time role (37.5 hours per week), offered on a 9‑month fixed‑term contract, with flexibility on location.

If you’re excited by the opportunity to step into a senior interim leadership role, make the most of significant investment, and guide large, complex fundraising and engagement functions through an important period of transition, we’d love to hear from you! 

Apply now with an updated CV, applications close on 25th February, with interviews taking place shortly afterwards.

• During staff absence support the recording and reconciliation of donations if necessary.

Fundraising and supporter partnerships team

• Represent LCM at external events and conferences each year where the SPO will be expected to communicate LCM’s vision with a passion for and understanding of the gospel message, as well as share their personal journey of faith in Jesus Christ.
• Provide support and take part in meetings, activities and events in the Fundraising and Supporter Partnerships Team.

Occupational requirement:

London City Mission (LCM) is an organisation committed to preaching the Christian gospel to the people of London.

The Supporter Partnerships Officer plays a key part in managing Partnerships with individual supporters for the London City Mission. It is essential that he/she must personally own, communicate and implement the aims and objectives of the Mission as he/she will be the first point of contact with supporters, including written, telephone and face to face. LCM deeply values its relationships with supporters, some of whom have been giving to and praying for the work for decades.

Many of our supporters know our staff by name because of personal conversations they have had around their personal faith and how we have responded to requests for prayer. We seek to build relationships with individuals over time and connections are often made as we share stories of personal Christian faith and how this motivates us to be a part of gospel work.

On this basis, we consider there is a prima facie case that the person appointed in this role be an evangelical Christian.
