OVERVIEW
If you are someone happy to take initiative, act as a service provider to our insiders, lend your hand to anything/everything with regard to building the organisation and are drawn to the idea of helping bring to life an ambitious new social enterprise, then we hope you will consider applying.
We believe that corporate ‘Insiders’ have been under invested in, under-utilised and often under-estimated in conversations about how we support a just transition.
You will be the only staff member but have a lot of brilliant people around you to provide support and we hope that with your support and leadership we will grow to a team of 3-4 over the coming 18 months.
We are looking for a self-starter who will flourish as a facilitator of insider groups, as a recruiter of Insiders, as an advocate and sector-builder for the insider community and as someone who can put the building blocks in place for an organisation that is set to grow and flourish.
To begin with, you will be hosted at non-profit Impatience Ltd who are providing hosting support to Impatience Insiders.
PERSON SPECIFICATION
We are looking for someone with at least six years of professional experience who is:
-
Confident in supporting bold movement building and encouraging people towards action;
-
Able to work delicately in high trust environments;
-
Able to work collaboratively with partners;
-
Energised to search and recruit for Insiders from a ‘cold’ start (e.g. building new relationships on Linkedin, etc.); and
-
Able to help build the ecosystem which we are a part of.
We are definitely looking for an all-rounder and do not have a particular experience set in mind. We expect to get applications from people from a range of backgrounds including those who have worked in large professional services firms, civil society building, community organising, programme management, financial services, social entrepreneurship, consulting or public affairs.
We will be looking for people who have had to build things from scratch and are used to working with diverse stakeholder groups and holding a strong sense of purpose.
The essentials:
-
You care deeply about the social and environmental challenges the world is facing and can see how industry can play a critical role in impacting these issues;
-
You are a confident project manager - you must have a knack of keeping things organised and on track, being able to write clearly and distil information;
-
You are a keen researcher who likes learning about new topics and presenting information back in written documents and briefings;
-
You are committed to facilitating and organising in ways that support diversity, equity and inclusion;
-
You have some facilitation experience and are comfortable building trust with individuals as well as holding space for confidential and sensitive conversations in groups. You have experience of supporting people to work through challenges and differing opinions to get to points of agreement and action;
-
You are happy researching and approaching potential partners, Insiders, etc. without warm introductions and building a new community around this work;
-
You are able to work independently with only light-touch support, self-start and manage competing priorities and multiple groups of stakeholders.
Helpful but not essential experience/skills:
-
A background and experience of working within food systems; this could be through having worked hands-on on farms, in the public sector on agriculture policy, on corporate sustainability strategies, or through a master’s degree;
-
A background in project management, public affairs, and relationship management;
-
A background in movement building, community organising, facilitation and/or advocacy;
-
Experience in fundraising and partnership building;
-
Experience in sales, recruitment, hospitality and/or training;
-
Experience of working in and pushing for change in large organisations.
You will have a few key aspects to your work:
-
Own and organise the Insiders group. This will include seeking new members to expand our Insider group, while retaining current members by ensuring meetings and work are relevant, interesting and beneficial for members;
-
Work with partners to turn insider insights into campaigns to influence change within the sector;
-
Help plan and deliver the UK’s first ‘Insider Summit’ where we bring together people doing insider work across a range of industries and forms;
-
Seed and support new insider groups;
-
Help develop the methodology for insider group development;
-
Build relationships with potential funders and pitch for further core or project-related funding;
-
Project-manage external agencies that are conducting delivery work for each project, from conception through to delivery and dissemination with civil society organisations, government, media and/or investors.
For the right person, this will be an amazing experience that allows them to learn as they lead work and accelerate into a space where their knowledge and insight is directly impacting progress towards transforming the UK food system and other industries.
We’re flexible about location (within the UK), hours and type of experience, our priority is to find the right person to lead this work who is ready to hit the ground running and has both the track record and skill set to make a success of this. We are committed to having a team that is made up of diverse skills, experiences and abilities and so if you are not 100% sure that you meet all the requirements but believe you could excel in this role, we encourage you to apply and use the application cover letter to tell us about your experience and what you hope to bring to this role.
The Impatience Ltd leadership team can be seen at: impatienceltd. org/our-team.
This project has Jake Hayman as the lead board sponsor as well as active involvement in oversight and management from Farhana Yamin and Aditi Shah.
The organisation is very much at a start-up stage with our only major funding coming to support this key role and one fellow team member over the next 12 months which is why this is an initial 12-month contract.
We hope the track record of the leadership team in building multiple successful thriving organisations will give candidates some confidence that this is an organisation that can grow and thrive and provide amazing opportunities to stretch themselves, provide career development and build their skills.

Post: Fundraising Coordinator
Based: The Little Hearts Matter office based in Birmingham

Responsible to: Fundraising Manager
Salary: £22,000 to £24,000 per annum pro rata
Hours: 35 hours per week
Annual Leave: 25 days plus Bank holidays per annum
This year, and every year, as many as 600 families in the UK will learn that their child has only half a working heart. These children have one of the most complex of all heart conditions, and there is no cure. Families in this situation need care and support to understand the information, make important treatment decisions, and meet the everyday challenges of living with half a heart.
That is why Little Hearts Matter exists. We wrap a blanket of understanding and care around families at every stage of their half a heart journey. We are always here when they need us.
Without donations, Little Hearts Matter would not be able to offer our services, free of charge, to support individuals and families across the UK. We do not receive any government funding for our work. Our fundraising team is essential to raising these vital funds—over £500,000 annually. Your role as Fundraising Coordinator is crucial in helping us achieve this goal.
In this role, you will support the fundraising team in carrying out administrative tasks that are key to the success of our fundraising efforts. This includes managing our donor database, processing donations, supporting community and corporate fundraising activities, and contributing to campaigns and events. You will work closely with our Fundraising Manager and the rest of the team to ensure the smooth running of day-to-day operations, making it easier for us to continue offering vital support to families.
In Your First Three Months:
- You will gain a deep understanding of Little Hearts Matter’s work and the needs of our supporters.
- You will assist in building relationships with key donors, supporters, and fundraising partners.
- You will help develop the systems and processes necessary to keep the fundraising efforts organised and efficient.
By the End of Your First Year:
- You will have played a key role in supporting and administering fundraising activities, including donor stewardship, community engagement, and corporate partnerships.
- You will have helped ensure that we have an up-to-date, efficient database to track donations, manage relationships, and analyse fundraising results.
- You will have contributed to the growth of our community fundraising, appeals portfolio, and partnerships, providing ongoing support to increase donations.
- You will have worked collaboratively with the team to improve the visibility and impact of Little Hearts Matter, ensuring that we can continue our essential work well into the future.
As a small charity, we rely on every member of our team to support and strengthen our fundraising efforts. Your work will directly contribute to the care and support we provide to families facing incredibly challenging circumstances. With your help, Little Hearts Matter will be able to continue supporting families affected by complex heart conditions and ensure that no family faces this journey alone.
About Little Hearts Matter
Little Hearts Matter (LHM) is a national charity with over 7000 members. We are the only charity in the UK that offers support and information to, and represents the needs of, children and families following a diagnosis of single ventricle heart disease (half a working heart). These congenital cardiac conditions can never be cured, even following repeated surgery, so the children must learn to live within the restrictions that their disability and fears for their future create.
Little Hearts Matter is there from the time parents learn of their child’s condition, through risk-filled treatment into a challenged-filled life at home. LHM is there to support the children, and their families, through their hopes and aspirations and the gradual realisation that they will never have the same life as their peers. Our aims are to:
Alleviate isolation by offering support, friendship and understanding from the time a diagnosis is made, through treatment decisions, hospital care and into life at home, eventually introducing parents and patients to other families who have similar experiences and shared concerns helping them to build a network of support.
Reduce fear by offering patients, parents, siblings, and the extended family a greater opportunity to understand the diagnosis and treatment paths available.
Reduce confusion and a lack of understanding by producing and supplying for free, user focused information that supports and aids understanding from the time of diagnosis, through treatments and into life at home.
Raise a greater awareness within Medical, Educational, Social and Governmental circles of the needs of children, and their families, as they travel through every stage of their lives.
Role Purpose:
This important role is vital to the continued growth of Little Hearts Matter’s fundraising activities and the sustainability of our services.
As Fundraising Coordinator, you will play a key part in supporting the fundraising team to secure and manage donations, ensuring the smooth running of campaigns, appeals, and donor communications. Working closely with the Fundraising Manager and other team members, you will help ensure the charity meets its annual fundraising target of over £400,000, generated through a diverse mix of member fundraising, community campaigns, and appeals.
You will be involved in administrative tasks that support the broader fundraising strategy, including donor stewardship, event coordination, and maintaining accurate records within the donor database. Your efforts will directly contribute to raising vital funds for Little Hearts Matter and helping us continue to provide free, vital services for families affected by complex heart conditions.
Key Responsibilities:
- Carry out the fundraising team’s essential administrative tasks, including maintaining accurate records in the donor database
- Maintain and update the donor database, ensuring records are accurate and up-to-date.
- Process donations and prepare receipts and acknowledgements in a timely and personalised manner.
- Provide administrative support for fundraising events and campaigns, including booking venues and organising materials.

- Ensure fundraisers and donors are taken on a tailored supporter journey, building loyalty and long-term relationships.
- Assist with the planning and delivery of fundraising appeals by coordinating mailouts, event logistics, and donor communications.
- Contribute fun and engaging fundraising ideas tailored to the charity’s membership, their local community, and LHM’s general supporters, taking into account the limited resources of a small charity.
- Liaise with Office Manager to reconcile donations and monitor budgets.
- Ensure compliance with GDPR, Gift Aid, and fundraising regulations.
- Support the preparation of reports for donors, trustees, and internal meetings.
