You are able to identify and implement innovative fundraising strategies. You manage donor information carefully and cultivate warm strategic relationships through personalised communication and impactful events. Your infectious enthusiasm and desire to learn and grow in a dynamic environment make you a perfect fit.

The Role:

Queer Britain is the UK’s first and only LGBTQ+ museum, and it’s for all. Our warm and collegiate team opened the museum in our beautiful space in Kings Cross two years ago. Since then, we are proud to have won the Museum Association's Best Small Museum of the Year award and welcomed around 100,000 guests through the doors. We are preparing for our next exciting growth phase. As Development Manager, you will be key to growing from these early successes.

You will nurture relationships with existing patrons and sponsors, ensuring effective stewardship and strategic communications and you will help identify new ones, bringing your brilliant networking skills, charm and credibility to sell our vision and mission. 

You will coordinate across the charity to ensure fundraising activities support the museum’s goals, crafting compelling proposals and organising donor engagement and stewardship events.

Are you an accomplished Fundraiser, looking for a flexible, part-time hybrid role? Would you be exited to fundraise without a high-pressured environment?

We are a small, fast-growing local charity supporting families with disabled children, based in Berkshire. We have great contacts locally and a high profile in our community.

The role is circa 16 hours a week, with a salary range of £38K - £42K (FTE) pro rata and dependent on experience. 30 days annual leave (pro rata), flexible working hours and pension.

ORGANISATIONAL INFORMATION

We are a multi award-winning charity supporting disabled children and their families in Wokingham, Berkshire.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

This is an exciting opportunity to join our small and friendly team and take on responsibility for raising much-needed funds to enable our service to continue to thrive.

ABOUT US

Action Village India (AVI) is a small UK based organisation that since 1989, has been supporting Indian partner organisations who work alongside villagers in some of the most remote parts of rural India so they can improve their lives, livelihoods and resilience. We work towards an India which is just, fair and inclusive, where all people regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnicity, caste, religion can benefit from the country’s economic development and lift themselves out of poverty.

At the heart of our work, are our partnerships; many of which have spanned decades.  Our partner organisations are led by Indians and whether these are large or small organisations, or social movements, all work directly at the grassroots level across rural India – from Bihar and Jharkhand in the North, in Odisha and down to Tamil Nadu in the South. The communities they work with, are some of the poorest in India. They are experts in their fields and work hand in hand with local people to design and inform projects to best serve their local communities and secure rights and social justice for women, men and children.

We accompany our partners for the long term, solidarity with our partners and their communities is at the core of how we work. This means we have developed relationships over the years, based on mutual respect, reciprocity and transparency. We are not governed by donor funding cycles and agendas but are led by our partners and the needs they identify and are committed to shared learning and collaboration. We keep our UK costs to a minimum with core staff and rely on an active and engaged set of Trustees, volunteers and supporters.  Both staff and Trustees of Action Village India have relationships with staff from our partner organisations, created through ongoing dialogue, partner and community visits and participation in learning forums.
