You will be responsible for managing all aspects of fundraising income generation, and leading and supporting a small fundraising team. You will be able to build and nurture relationships with funders, donors and other stakeholders, and have excellent communication skills.

We understand that many people, especially people who identify as women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds or from other underrepresented groups, only apply for jobs when they believe they match all the criteria. If you don’t meet all the criteria in the person specification and want to play a key role in helping to tackle UK child poverty, please consider applying.
