We want to hear your authentic voice arising out of your experience, and we will be looking for answers that use examples and experiences that are specific to you.

Emmaus UK is recruiting a High Value Giving Lead to develop and implement ambitious strategies to grow the vital Major Donor, Corporate, and Trusts & Foundation income streams.

Location: Remote with occasional travel across UK

Applications close at 9 a.m. Monday 4th November 

Who we are.

Emmaus is a homelessness charity with a difference. We don’t just provide a bed for the night; we offer a home, meaningful work, and a sense of belonging.

Founded in 1991, Emmaus now has 30 communities across the UK, with three more in development. We currently support over 850 people who have experienced homelessness, offering them a home for as long as they need it, along with work and training in our social enterprises. Our goal is to provide a home to 1,100 people by 2025.

About the role.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for leading the Major Donor, Corporate, and Trusts & Foundations fundraising function. You’ll manage a team of three, with two direct line reports: the Corporate Partnerships Manager and the Trust & Foundation Manager.

This role will focus primarily on supporting new business development in these areas and establishing a major donor programme.

Corporate and T&F fundraising are well established at Emmaus UK and performing well, but there is capacity for them to grow significantly with strategic support and guidance from this role.

Major Donor fundraising is a key area as there is not currently an established programme, but there is great potential amongst supporters of other giving streams to make significant personal donations.

This role’s focus will generally be on winning new business and nurturing your team so they can carry these relationships forward as they develop their skills under your leadership. You’ll help your team create compelling proposals for innovative projects while looking at the big picture and utilising resources to meet organisational goals.

This is a role where you can have a huge impact.

Who we are looking for.

We are seeking a well-rounded and seasoned high value giving fundraiser. You will primarily be a major donor expert with experience in at least one, but ideally both, of corporate and trusts & foundations giving.

You’ll be an excellent relationship manager and have a deep understanding of donor motivation, which will enable you to adapt your approach and win new business in your key income areas.

Suitable candidates will also be excellent managers who can inspire and coach line reports to be better fundraisers. Lastly, you will be deeply motivated by the cause of homelessness and Emmaus UK’s inspiring work.

Applications for this role close at 9 a.m. Monday 4th November.
