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.

Robinson College is seeking to appoint a new full-time Director of Development.
Director of Development
Location: Cambridge, CB3 9AN
Salary: £70,000 - £80,000, depending on experience
Robinson is one of the newest colleges in the University of Cambridge. We were founded in 1977 though the generosity of Sir David Robinson, an entrepreneur and philanthropist. We now have around 400 undergraduates, 240 postgraduates, and 100 Fellows. The main College building is a modern masterpiece housing most of our undergraduate students, with others living in houses on the College estate. We also have modern accommodation for our postgraduate students. The whole site has a large tranquil garden at its centre, with a lake fed by a chalk stream. As a College, we proudly promote a culture of friendliness and mutual support, a truly inclusive approach to community life, and a passion for education and research in a stimulating academic environment.
The College has an active and successful Development Office which caters for a growing population of over 5,800 contactable alumni. The recent foundation of the College is reflected in the relative youth of our alumni base. This presents challenges and rewards in equal measure to an enthusiastic Development Director. Our community are enthusiastic and loyal, and some have demonstrated remarkable philanthropy even in their early careers. The College also has a growing group of declared legators.
As the College approaches our 50th anniversary, there is an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to lead and execute the associated fundraising campaign and a programme of activities, commissions and events to celebrate our milestone.
The Director of Development will be expected to assume full responsibility for all aspects of fundraising, stewardship and alumni relations, reporting to the Warden, Sir Richard Heaton, and with a dotted line report to the Finance Bursar. A modest amount of overseas travel is also required.
Candidates must have significant fundraising and donor stewardship experience and a track record of securing major philanthropic gifts. Experience of team management is also essential.
The closing date for applications is 9am on 15 July 2024
We encourage candidates to submit their application without delay as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we have received sufficient applications from suitably experienced candidates.
