About Reprieve
Reprieve is a human rights NGO founded in 1999 which uses strategic interventions (using the law, policy work and public advocacy) to end the use of the death penalty globally, and to end extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”.
Reprieve works with the most disenfranchised people in society, as it is in their cases that human rights are most swiftly jettisoned and the rule of law is cast aside. We seek to promote and protect the rights of those facing the death penalty around the world, and those who are the victims of extreme human rights abuses carried out in the name of “counterterrorism” or “national security”, with a focus on arbitrary detention, torture, and extrajudicial executions.

Alzheimer’s Research UK – Director of Individual Giving and Legacies
Location: Cambridge, hybrid working (2 days a week in the office)
Salary: circa. £90,000 per annum
Contract: Permanent, full time hours
Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK), the UK’s leading dementia research charity, is seeking a mass fundraising specialist to head up its Individual Giving and Legacies Directorate.
ARUK has a vision of a world free from the fear, harm and heartbreak of dementia. The charity is working to revolutionise the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia and exists for a cure. With a network of centres of research excellence across the UK, alongside investing in the wider research community, ARUK has supported thousands of scientists working on breakthroughs in dementia research based across the UK and the world.
For the first time, new treatments are on the horizon that can slow the course of Alzheimer’s disease – the leading cause of dementia – and there have encouraging signs that blood tests could revolutionise its diagnosis. While these are promising steps forward, there is still a long way to transform the lives of people affected by all forms of dementia. That’s why the charity launched a new 10 year strategy in 2023 and a powerful new brand, to catalyse this progress and change lives.
This role will be the strategic lead for a directorate of approximately 40 people with a diverse portfolio covering direct marketing, legacy and in memoriam, data and CRM, and supporter care functions – teams that are responsible for generating around 50% of the charity’s fundraised income.
The Director will be responsible for developing and driving ARUK’s engagement and income growth ambitions, working alongside the Deputy Chief Executive & Executive Director of Fundraising and Marketing and fellow directors, with a focus on continuous improvement and learning. They will also work across the charity to maximise opportunities to engage new supporters, inspiring long-term relationships and ensuring that supporters are at the heart of everything ARUK does.
ARUK are looking for a fundraiser with extensive mass fundraising experience across direct marketing and legacies, and a track record in driving significant income growth by developing and executing acquisition and retention strategies. Candidates will also have a demonstrable aptitude and passion for data and CRM development, alongside experience of leading excellence in supporter care. Candidates are sought with exemplary leadership skills and the ability to build relationships and inspire confidence and respect at all levels. A strong team player, the successful candidate will also have excellent interpersonal and negotiating skills, as well as being able to think strategically and creatively in a busy, dynamic environment. Finally, they will be passionate about the difference ARUK can make for everyone affected by dementia.
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organisation voted third in the ‘50 best companies to work for’ in the charity sector, 48th in the 100 Best Large Companies to Work for in the UK, and also awarded the HR Management award by The Charity Times for wellbeing initiatives implemented throughout the pandemic in 2021. You will also be working for an organisation that continues to invest in and build on the significant income growth it has seen in the last five years to fund its pioneering dementia research programme.
Please download our Candidate Pack for further information [PDF], which includes details on how to apply.
Closing date: 9am BST, Monday 19th August
Please note as part of ARUK’s Agile ways of working, you will be required to work approximately two days a week from the office, which is subject to the requirements of the role and the business needs. Flexibility on where you work can be split between working from home and our office.
