You will oversee the successful delivery and operation of the new Visitor Centre within the recently restored Soane Stable Yard, ensuring the visitor experience both onsite and digital is inspiring, inclusive, and impactful.

The Sociological Review Foundation is seeking its first Development Manager to join its team.

Chelsea Foundation is at the beginning of an exciting new chapter. They have recently launched a brand-new fundraising function and are now seeking a dynamic and driven Major Donor Manager to help shape it from the ground up.
The Chelsea Foundation harnesses the power of football to engage and inspire communities locally and globally. With a commitment to education, health, equality, and inclusion, they use the reach of the club to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Reporting into a highly respected and ambitious Head of Philanthropic Partnerships—who joined in September 2024—this is a rare opportunity to play a defining role in the early stages of building a major donor programme for one of football’s most recognised global brands.
Location: Stamford Bridge, London (Hybrid: 2 days in office)
Contract: Full-time | Permanent
Reports to: Head of Philanthropic Partnerships
Why This Role Stands Out
- High-Profile Platform: Football is a universal language. The Chelsea name opens doors and creates powerful engagement opportunities across a wide network.
- Community Impact: Despite the global brand, the Foundation maintains a hyper-local focus—ensuring donations create real, tangible change in the community.
- Early-Stage Momentum: This is a newly created role in a newly formed team. It’s an ideal opportunity for someone eager to build, shape, and lead from the front.
- Access to Influence: With time, there will be potential to engage with ultra-high-net-worth individuals—offering long-term growth and relationship-building opportunities.
The Ideal Candidate
This role would suit an energetic, self-starting fundraiser who thrives in a fast-paced, ambitious environment. They will bring strong relationship-building skills, a strategic mindset, and a genuine passion for connecting people to purpose. Importantly, they will be excited by the idea of helping to shape a programme from the ground up, and ready to make their mark within major donor fundraising.
Key Responsibilities
- Collaborate with the Head of Philanthropic Partnerships to develop and implement a long-term major donor strategy.
- Identify, research, and engage prospective major donors.
- Cultivate and manage high-value relationships, leading on face-to-face solicitations.
- Work closely with internal teams to understand funding needs and develop compelling cases for support.
- Ensure excellent donor stewardship, including regular reporting and impact updates.
- Maintain accurate records using CRM systems and support wider fundraising activities where needed.
What They’re Looking For
- Proven experience in securing significant philanthropic gifts.
- Strong track record in developing donor pipelines and writing compelling funding proposals.
- Confidence and credibility in managing high-level relationships.
- Skilled at working independently, with initiative and focus.
- Ability to prioritise and manage multiple workstreams effectively.
- Strong understanding of donor stewardship and fundraising best practice.
Application Process:
- Deadline: CVs ASAP
- Interviews:
- First interviews: May 7th and May 8th over Teams
- Second interviews: In person at Stamford Bridge week commencing the 12th May
- Final step: Call with the Foundation’s newly appointed CEO

About Link UP London
Link UP London’s purpose is to build stronger more resilient communities. We do this by connecting small Social Good Organisations or SGOs (i.e. charities, Community Interest Companies, community groups and social enterprises) with Skilled Volunteers, helping these organisations to address strategic and operational development issues and build capacity and resources to better tackle the multiple challenges facing their communities. Link UP connects these organisations to Skilled Volunteers from a range of professional backgrounds (HR, finance, comms, marketing, legal, data, IT and many more) who have faced many of these strategic and organisational challenges before and want to apply their skills and knowledge to support their community.
We connect skills to SGOs in 3 main ways including:
- Skilled Volunteering Projects: Short-term, structured volunteering engagements
- Social Impact Solutions: Our corporate programme provides structured skills-based employee volunteering opportunities in a range of formats
- Lunch & Learn Sessions: one-hour webinars allow professionals with limited time to share their expertise on topics of relevance to SGO capacity development
Our Skilled Volunteering programme has been a core service of Link UP since its founding in 2016 and is at the heart and soul of our work. We work in all 32 boroughs and the city of London to help organisations to better address poverty, inequality, and marginalisation. We have ambitious plans to continue to deepen our connections across boroughs, reach even more organisations and volunteers, to build stronger communities by harnessing professional skills for social good.
The new Head of Skilled Volunteering will be instrumental in helping us grow our successful existing Skilled Volunteering programme and take it to the next level reaching more SGOs and skilled volunteers building new partnerships, and deepening relationships and support provided across London.

Fundraising ASSISTANT
JOB DESCRIPTION AND PERSON SPECIFICATION
Every 6 minutes someone learns that they are losing their sight. Every five hours, a baby is born with sight problems. In these moments, two profound questions emerge:
• Can this be stopped?
• How do I (or my child) live this life?
The merger of Fight for Sight and Vision Foundation on 1st April 2023 has enabled us to address both questions. By combining our strengths and expertise we are now the only significant national funder with the efficiency, capability, and capacity to increase investment in medical research and social improvement. Together we can mitigate both the prevalence and impact of sight loss.
We have a clear ambition, led by our CEO, Keith Valentine, who has valuable lived experience of sight loss. We’ve secured well-respected and highly engaged ambassadors and patrons, from Sir John Major and Marsha De Cordova MP.
We are looking for a driven, committed, and creative individual to join our dynamic team as we devise and launch a new five-year strategy. You’ll be part of something impactful and a key support within the fundraising team.
The Fundraising Assistant will play a crucial role in the future growth of our charity and the impact that we can achieve through partnerships for people with sight loss. You will be a key part of a growing fundraising team providing support across the team.
