Database Jobs

The role of Dose of Nature’s Development Manager is a permanent, high-level role which will continue to evolve as the work of Dose of Nature grows over the coming years. The post involves creating and implementing a fundraising strategy, supporting the Chief Executive with financial planning, and providing clear long-term direction to income generation.

The Development Manager will work directly with the Chief Executive to devise a long-term development strategy, identify and secure funding partners, and produce relevant and compelling funding proposals. Currently the main sources of funding are from trust and foundation grants and local council health care grants. Going forward the Development Manager will grow the funding stream from trusts and foundations and look to solidify the donations from locals. As the charity develops there will also be opportunities of securing funding from the corporate sector, helping to secure Dose of Nature’s future.

The role requires a focused and detail-oriented mindset, entrepreneurial flair, business development experience, excellent written communication and interpersonal skills, good time management and the ability to juggle several complicated tasks at once. It provides a fantastic opportunity for someone with a “can-do” attitude, someone who is passionate about supporting the aims of Dose of Nature and also who wants the freedom to make this role their own.

As with any small charity we hope to find someone who is multi-faceted in terms of their fundraising skill set, and within this, without being a communications specialist, we anticipate that the Development Manager will have experience of charity communications (although this is not the main focus of the role). Ideally the Development Manager will be able to help with creating a communications strategy, support communication tools such as newsletters and social media, and identify any opportunities that may help Dose of Nature grow.

Dose of Nature has an annual turnover of approximately £400,000, of which 75% is currently raised from trust and foundation grants along with donations from individuals. The Development Manager will be responsible for maintaining this income and also securing significant new funding during 2024-25. With a good network of local support, the Development Manager will have the advantage of having a database of supporters to work with and there is the potential to create an individual appeal or giving scheme. Currently the Chief Executive makes all funding applications to trusts and foundations and these relationships will be passed on to the Development Manager who will be expected to nurture these and secure grants from new sources.

Are you passionate about planning impactful events that inspire and engage?

We are looking for an experienced and dynamic Events Manager to lead the planning and delivery of a diverse portfolio of fundraising events. In this pivotal role, you will spearhead the meticulous planning, project management, and execution of events both in the UK and overseas, ensuring every detail is flawlessly implemented to deliver an exceptional supporter experience. As an Events Manager, you will be involved in building and nurturing strong relationships with event partners and sponsors, constantly seeking innovative opportunities to enhance and expand our event portfolio.

Come and be part of the leading Armed Forces charity, making a difference to the lives of those who have served to keep us safe and protect our way of life.

You will be responsible for the comprehensive management of our owned events, overseeing everything from course design and venue coordination, to health & safety logistics and commemorative ceremonies. With a keen eye for detail, you will produce and manage project plans, budgets, and reports, ensuring all events align with departmental strategies and exceed key performance indicators. Your ability to evaluate and recommend improvements will be crucial in optimising the return on investment and net contribution of our events. Additionally, you will lead and manage an Events Logistics Coordinator, guiding their professional development and performance.

We are committed to providing the best supporter experience. You will work collaboratively with the wider team to maximise supporter engagement and satisfaction at every touchpoint. Your leadership on event days will be vital in ensuring a seamless and memorable experience for our participants. By supporting marketing, acquisition, and stewardship initiatives, you will play a key role in achieving our fundraising goals and representing the charity at various events, including multi-day events as required.

Building and maintaining robust relationships with internal departments, event organisers, and external agencies is a cornerstone of this role. You will work closely with sponsors, corporate partners, and suppliers to deliver high-quality events, while also seeking new business opportunities. Your ability to navigate complex stakeholder relationships, including those with local government officials and dignitaries, will ensure the smooth delivery of events and ceremonies. Managing contracts, procurement processes, and supplier relationships will be integral to maintaining the highest standards of event execution.

Here at RBL, we aim to support our people and their wellbeing, with a package including generous paid holiday allowance and pension scheme contributions, and a range of optional benefits and discounts.

 

You will be contracted to our London Hub, Haig House.
