With this in mind, we welcome and encourage job applications from people of all backgrounds. We particularly welcome applications from candidates from black and ethnic minority backgrounds. We are committed to continue building an environment that embraces diversity and includes all.
Context
We are building a church-based movement against poverty, delivering the right messages at the right times to inspire action and support. Our goal is to strengthen the CAP supporter and church movement to "Face it, Fight it, End it - Together."
We inspire our supporters to give, act, and pray, demonstrating hope to those burdened by debt and poverty. We highlight how God uses CAP to mobilise people and churches, transforming lives, churches, communities and society itself.
We are driven to raise the necessary funds and partnerships needed to achieve CAP's vision of transformed lives, thriving churches, and an end to UK poverty. We collaborate with other fundraising and communications teams to provide a fantastic and rewarding supporter experience.
Purpose
The Head of Philanthropy, reporting to the Director of Fundraising, is responsible for leading and growing CAP's major donor income, cultivating and stewarding high-value relationships, and building and mentoring a high-performing Philanthropy Team.

Our philanthropic fundraising is moving into a new era in Christians Against Poverty.

We have recently been developing our CRM (salesforce), upskilling staff and developing our case for support in order to have a robust foundation on which to build our philanthropy strategy.

A unique chance to make a real difference in the lives of children
Are you, like us, passionate about transforming the lives of children? We need your help to bring sustainable change to the most deprived children in the world, living in Darfur, Sudan, who are facing the threat of starvation and violence as the ongoing conflict in Sudan continues to threaten lives.
We need an Administrator to join our small, but dynamic team. You will have fun and learn many new skills as we work together. You will generally work from home, but as you will need to visit our office in Dorking, Surrey, once or twice a week, you will need to live within a reasonable distance. This is a key position with the responsibility of running the office, working with volunteers, supporting our Founder/Chairman, CEO and Deputy CEO, and ensuring our donors are kept up to date with all we are doing to help children so far away. You will get to know our supporters across the world many of whom have been helping Kids for Kids since we were founded in 2001.
About Kids for Kids
Kids for Kids is the only charity founded specifically to help children in one of the most challenging regions of the world, Darfur, Sudan. For the past 24 years we have been transforming the lives of whole communities through a unique package of integrated projects, working closely with the villagers themselves. Since 2001 we have adopted 110 villages transforming the lives of over half a million people. Despite ongoing violence we are still the only organisation delivering aid to remote communities thanks to volunteers in Darfur.
What we are looking for
This is a key position as it will be your responsibility to ensure the smooth-running of the charity, enabling us to support even more children and their families. You will be the righthand person for our Founder/Chairman, CEO, and Deputy CEO. You will be in touch with supporters across the world. You will assist with drafting documents and correspondence with our supporters. You will be responsible for data entry and help us to migrate to a CRM system in the coming months. Event planning and coordinating with the rest of the team will be part of your brief, as will organising talks across the country to help raise awareness of our unique sustainable projects. You will be experienced with spreadsheets and with mailings, including the use of Reports from our current Access database. 2
Your efficiency in keeping accurate records and communicating effectively with our supporters will contribute directly to the extent in which we can help in Darfur. The administrative team is small, so your position is hugely important. You must have a keen eye for detail and love administrative tasks. Accuracy is essential. Because we all work from our own homes it is important that you are a good communicator, sharing our team spirit and ethos.
This is an immensely rewarding position, requiring someone who has a can-do attitude, is hardworking, efficient, has excellent attention to detail, can work in a fast-paced environment and is good at managing your own time. You will interact with our donors and Patrons as part of the public face of Kids for Kids, but most of all you will be as determined as we are to make a lasting difference to children’s lives.
