We are looking for our first Director of Fundraising - someone who will have the opportunity to build and develop a team to help deliver our fundraising strategy.
About Us
St John International is a global organisation – a family of charities whose ambition is to lead in first aid and medical responses to communities’ health needs. With 44 St John establishments across the world, we like to think of ourselves as the ‘scaffolding’ which supports our organisations. We do this by sharing best practice, offering practical and financial support and strategic direction to implement a gold standard of community and emergency care for the sick and the poor everywhere we work. Our focus is First Aid, Ambulance Services, Eye Care, and our Mother and Baby Programme.
Our impact is real, immediate, and lasting as we build stronger communities through our work. Our aim is continuously to improve the quality and scale of training and care we provide around the world, so that we can say with confidence that we represent the gold standard in everything we do. However, we want to do more. We are therefore launching a major fundraising initiative to support our work. We are grateful to an ambitious donor who has invested in a principal gift to create a new fundraising programme to create sustainable, reliable growth.
What you will be doing
The Director of Fundraising will be a key member of our executive team reporting directly to the Secretary General. As our first Director of Fundraising, you will have the opportunity to build and develop your own team to help you deliver the fundraising strategy.
In taking forward the strategy, you will identify and articulate areas for support, research relevant funding potential and secure income through the development and execution of both the short and long-term fundraising strategy across the funding spectrum. You will have the confidence and experience to help us to deliver a longer-term strategic approach to continued fundraising, based on organisational and business objectives.
With our donor’s generous gift, we aim to build a thriving, major gifts programme which builds capacity and delivers a significant return on our donor’s investment. It is our aim to raise £15million over the next 4 years.
You will be responsible for building a fundraising team and leading fundraising in all areas, from major gifts relationships, completing complex bids to grant-making Trusts and Foundations and managing and utilising the skills of the Trustees and wider St John network.
You will build and maintain a network of supporters. This will require both organisational and bid-writing skills, as well as the ability to represent us, our work and all that we stand for in negotiations with partners, sponsors and major donors around the world.
1. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF THE JOB
The Director of Fundraising will lead the continued development, co-ordination and delivery of our new fundraising strategy, to build and maintain philanthropic income.

3. Act as an advocate and ambassador for the charity, building and prospecting new relationships with supporters, stakeholders and donors.
4. Work with colleagues to articulate and promote the charity’s unique message.
5. Mobilise potential supporters and advocates within our St John Family.
2. PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
a) Work with the St John International team and trustees to deliver the innovative and varied fundraising strategy.
b) Create and manage fundraising: major donors, trusts and foundations, corporates, and legacies across the organisation.
c) Monitor, collect and manage information on relevant sources of funding, including public and charitable funds, commissioning and procurement, and emerging opportunities for income generation.
d) Develop, implement and oversee quality control, evaluation and reporting procedures to ensure a high standard of bid submission, monitoring and reporting at all times.
e) Build relationships with major donors and maintain good stewardship of donors and funders. We expect our contributor base to include international donors, and not just those who may be UK-based.
f) Research and write high quality grant applications and proposals for support.
g) Develop, pitch and manage sponsorship proposals and presentations.
h) Work with colleagues to embed opportunities for fundraising and fundraising events through other areas of the charity’s work.
i) Attend networking events, prepare groundwork and establish connections to engage potential donors and develop opportunities.
j) Prepare reports and give presentations on fundraising progress to the trustee board.
k) Identify opportunities to collaborate with global partners to secure additional efficiencies, benefits or increased resources, including the potential for joint fundraising approaches.
