Location: Home based but with travel nationally as required and regular travel to Leeds base.
Salary: £70-80k per annum
Contract: Permanent, full time hours
Day One, the charity that helps people rebuild their lives after catastrophic injury, is seeking an inspiring leader to create a strong, sustainable plan for their fundraising and communications team and build on solid fundraising foundations to grow income.
Day One is a young, ambitious national charity dedicated to supporting people impacted by catastrophic injury. They currently deliver dedicated services in six regions and have a presence in seven NHS Major Trauma Centres. They also provide a national support service to people anywhere in the UK. Day One works extremely closely with NHS clinical services, delivering support at the bedside in the immediate aftermath of a major trauma, but also has a strong focus on the trauma networks and wider community where people are often alone and isolated trying to recover from their injuries.
Day One was registered as a charity in May 2021 and since that time has embarked on an incredible journey of development and expansion. With a growing, loyal and valued community of supporters and a powerful sphere of influence, the charity wants to do much more, aiming to have a presence across all NHS Major Trauma Centres and networks across the UK.
Key to that ambition will be a new Fundraising and Communications Director. This is a great role for an experienced senior fundraising leader to shape the charity’s future direction, building on an extremely successful start and a commitment from the Board and leadership team to invest in the right candidate who can deliver a compelling vision for fundraising and communications.
Reporting to the Chief Executive, the role will provide leadership and guidance on fundraising and communications as well as sitting on the Senior Leadership Team. The post-holder will be responsible for developing and delivering a fundraising strategy that has the right balance of ambition and realism for the next three to five years, and to grow income to £1million over the next four years, taking advantage of the unique fundraising opportunity that is available to the charity at this current time.
The ideal candidate will have a strong track record of securing significant gifts and partnerships, as well as substantial experience of senior fundraising leadership. You will be a strategic thinker with strong financial acumen and excellent communication skills. You will understand the impact and importance of storytelling in driving income and of how fundraising and communications can be managed effectively together to support income growth. An understanding of healthcare-related charities would be an advantage.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a dynamic, forward-looking charity in a hands-on role where the right candidate can build their team, invest strategically and help deliver a real difference to patients’ lives.
