Main Role & Responsibilities

The Director of Income Generation will lead the charity’s fundraising and income generation strategy with a particular focus on securing, managing, and growing funding linked to gambling, gaming and wider digital harm prevention, including funding overseen or commissioned via the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID).

This is a senior leadership role which sits on Ygam’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT) with responsibility for developing a diversified, sustainable income portfolio that enables the charity to deliver high-quality, UK-wide evidence-informed prevention activity aligned with national public health priorities.

The successful candidate will lead and empower a high-performing fundraising team, foster innovation, and build strong relationships with donors, funders, partners, and stakeholders across the UK. You will provide strategic direction and inspirational leadership across all income-generating activities, ensuring long-term financial resilience while upholding the charity’s values, reputation, and commitment to excellent supporter experience.

Working closely with the Chief Executive, Trustee Board, and Senior Leadership Team, you will shape organisational strategy, influence decision-making, and act as an external ambassador for the charity.

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for a strategic, values-driven fundraising leader with a strong track record of delivering income growth across multiple fundraising and business development streams.

You will bring credibility in working with or alongside public bodies such as OHID, or similar national commissioners and/or major funders, and demonstrate a clear grasp of the accountability, evaluation, and assurance requirements associated with levy-funded or statutory funding.

You will be an inspiring people manager, a confident communicator, and a credible senior leader who enjoys building relationships and making things happen at pace

The successful candidate will possess both strategic insight and hands-on experience, be networked across the charitable funding sector, combining commercial thinking with a deep understanding of the UK charity and fundraising landscape.

You will be a confident senior leader who combines strategic vision with operational rigour, has excellent stakeholder management skills. A commitment to evidence, impact, evaluation and collaboration will be central to your approach.

Above all, you will be motivated by our cause and committed to ethical, inclusive, and supporter-centred fundraising and wider income generation.

Bring your CRM, customer journey and membership experience into an environment where you can build processes and journeys from the ground up, delivering measurable results within impactful environments that drive real social impact.

We are looking for a hands-on operator to build the engine behind how a group of membership-based incubations grow, engage and thrive. This role is employed by Purposeful Ventures and will work across two of our incubated organisations – The Baby Bank Alliance and Open Education AI (OEAI), where you will design and build their CRM, marketing, onboarding and membership engagement infrastructure.

This is a standalone role where you will be the person researching, selecting, configuring and running the systems, giving you the opportunity to really get stuck in with shaping growth infrastructure.

If you have built CRM or growth infrastructure in a commercial setting and are looking to apply that skillset to organisations achieving real social impact, this is an opportunity to own the entire membership and engagement process end-to-end – and to see the difference that it makes.

This role is about combining sharp systems thinking with practical implementation — designing the strategy and then rolling up your sleeves to make it work. You will also have:

• Real ownership — You will design and run the entire system.
• Visible impact — Your work directly influences growth and sustainability.
• Intellectual challenge — Multiple organisations, evolving needs, real complexity.
• Purpose-driven work — Apply your skills to organisations that exist for public benefit.
• Room to grow — As the organisations scale, the role could evolve with them

The Baby Bank Alliance

The Baby Bank Alliance is a membership organisation which supports and advocates for UK baby banks, to ensure babies and children have the essentials they need to thrive. We are run by and for baby banks themselves, and founded by Save the Children, Purposeful Ventures, Baby Bank Network Bristol, and Little Village.

Open Education AI

Open Education AI is a sector-led data transformation initiative that provides the education sector with an off-the-shelf route to usable data and AI Insight capability. We are a membership organisation and we work with the sector to enable all school groups to take control of and leverage their data to inform strategic action.

Responsibilities and duties

CRM selection, setup and ownership

• Research, evaluate and procure a CRM system which is best suited to membership organisations
• Lead on the implementation and configuration of the procured CRM system
• Design all the data structures, tagging, pipelines and reporting within the CRM system and ensure that these are best designed to serve the incubations
• Ensure that all data practices are robust and GDPR compliant
• Maintain and continuously improve the CRM system, and act as the internal CRM owner

Membership onboarding and member value (OEAI)

• Map and redesign the full member journey from awareness → sign-up → onboarding → engagement → renewal
• Create clear and straightforward processes that improve member experience
• Lead membership engagement activities, including the utilisation of our community on Circle
• Create campaigns that encourage members to use the features that matter the most and which will give them maximum value
• Play a significant role in shaping the roadmap based on real customer insights
• Be the overall membership engagement owner

Community growth and communications (OEAI)

• Source and implement appropriate tools to underpin and enhance this infrastructure, for example, Zoom, sales demo tools, email platforms and automation software
• Ensure system integration across CRM, website, events, communications and finance to enable a seamless experience
• Improve on the capturing, tracking and reporting of sales leads
• Ensure the operational backbone is strong enough to support growth

Membership operations

• Run and maintain the membership database, ensuring high data quality
• Improve internal processes for tracking and reporting membership engagement
• Develop clear dashboards and insights for our leadership and board
• Design practical systems for member support and communication

The job description is subject to change and the postholder may be required to undertake tasks not specifically referred to above. Such duties, however, will fall within the scope of the job description.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for someone with experience in CRM systems, marketing operations, revenue and growth, commercial operations or startup operations, with experience in building systems and processes from scratch. This role would suit someone seeking a role – or continuing their career – in a not-for-profit environment where you will apply your skills to enhance purpose-driven organisations, take full ownership of systems and processes and build something meaningful from the ground up.

You will have had previous exposure to selecting, implementing and driving use and functionality of a CRM system (such as Hubspot or Salesforce) and building customer journeys and lifecycle automation. You understand the importance of healthy data and reporting and can work independently to build and maintain impactful systems and processes.

We are also looking for someone who is hands-on, methodical and process-driven, with the ability to see the entire customer journey from commercial and user perspectives. You will be motivated by working at pace and to ultimately build a strong foundation for Purposeful’s incubations.

Who we are:

Hope is here. The Global Returns Project (GRP) is a UK charity unlocking new philanthropy to deliver urgent solutions for our planet.

We are a fast-moving nonprofit that makes donations to high-impact nature and climate charities simple – and we don’t take any fees. We’ve already mobilised over £3 million for top environmental solutions and are working to unlock at least £30 million annually by the end of the decade.

We are growing quickly: Last year's annual fundraising was 275% higher than the previous year.

The problem: Charities protecting our planet can turn the tide on climate change and nature loss. They have the skills, strategies and networks to deliver fast and global impact. But less than 2% of philanthropy goes to climate mitigation.

Our solution: In the UK alone, around £2 trillion sits with “HNW+” individuals – those holding between £100k and £30 million. Yet traditional philanthropy largely overlooks them. We’re unlocking this funding by offering trusted, pro bono advice and a simple, portfolio approach to giving. Our expertise in UK wealth advice offers a unique path to scalability and systems-change.

What we are looking for:

Job Title: Senior Philanthropy Officer

We’re looking for a confident, capable fundraiser to play a key role in major-gift fundraising – helping to secure transformational support from high-net-worth individuals.

You’ll manage your own portfolio of prospects and donors, contributing across the full fundraising cycle: prospecting, cultivation, making direct asks, closing and stewardship. Alongside this, you’ll support the development of relationships with wealth advisers to generate referral leads, while also prospecting independently for major gifts.

The ideal candidate will be excited to build networks of wealth managers, private-client teams and other advisers to HNWIs, and to convert adviser introductions into committed support. You’ll complement this with proactive outreach to identify and engage new major donors beyond existing referral channels.

To succeed, you’ll develop strong fluency across three distinct fundraising pitches: a business case for advisers; an impact case to persuade donors to support our portfolio charities; and a systems-change case to win backing for GRP’s operating costs (salaries, office costs, etc) to keep the charity running fee-free.

You’ll be comfortable making direct asks for funding, ideally with experience of securing significant gifts or multi-year commitments. You’ll be hands-on in day-to-day fundraising activity and able to manage multiple relationships and priorities effectively.

You’ll thrive in a small, fast-moving team—taking initiative, being collaborative, and contributing to shared goals. Crucially, you’ll care deeply about climate and nature.

Experience required:

Strong experience in frontline fundraising (as a guide, likely 3-6 years).

Please see the full job description attached for information on skills required and main duties and responsibilities.

Location: Centrally located, light and airy office on Regent Street, London. Estimated two days per week in the office. 

Benefits: 20 days’ annual leave (pro-rata), plus statutory bank holidays (pro-rata). Occasional 1–2 days’ additional paid leave over Christmas period. Flexible working.

Reports to: CEO

Preferred start date: Monday 29th June 2026. Applications reviewed on rolling basis.

Information Security Manager

£55,000 per annum

37 hours per week

Farnham, Surrey, with opportunity for hybrid working.  Cross site working required.
 

About us

Phyllis Tuckwell are based in Farnham, Camberley and Guildford, and provide bespoke, compassionate palliative and end of life care for people living with an advanced or terminal illness, across West Surrey and North-East Hampshire.

Phyllis Tuckwell is a very special place to work.  Our staff make a real difference to the lives of our patients and their loved ones, providing outstanding care at a time that really matters.  Our support teams are pivotal in helping deliver our vital services, ensuring ‘every day is precious’ for our patients. 

We are shortly opening our new hospice building, creating a modern environment designed around patients, families, and staff. Alongside this, we are investing in our digital capability to better support care, improve efficiency, and strengthen how we work as an organisation.

We are seeking an Information Security Manager to shape how our information security is built into a new environment from the outset, rather than retrofitted later.  Whilst good progress has already been made in our cyber security and information governance provision across the organisation, this exciting, new role will take the next step in managing and developing a more structured, consistent, and visible approach, seeking to embed good practice and build confidence.   

This is not a purely technical or policy focused role.  It will be responsible for ensuring our systems and information are safe, resilient, and used responsibly, helping our teams make secure choices in their day-to-day work, and educating staff to understand what this means in practice. The role will play an integral role in ensuring everything we do, and deliver, is secure by default and will ensure a practical, solutions focused approach to risk, helping teams move forward with confidence, building a positive security culture across the organisation.  

This is a key role at an important point for the organisation.  It will make a tangible impact across the work of Phyllis Tuckwell, both clinically and operationally.

The role will operate under the strategic direction of the Director of IT, Estates and Digital Transformation, while acting as the organisation’s recognised subject matter expert in cyber security and information security. They will be the trusted authority in this area, supporting teams across the organisation and providing credible assurance to senior leaders.

Key Responsibilities of the Information Security Manager will include:

• Leading our approach to cyber security, risk management, and incident response
• Developing and improving our information security management system, aligned to standards such as Cyber Essentials Plus and NHS DSPT
• Identifying and managing risks across systems, processes, and suppliers
• Supporting teams to understand and apply good security practice in real-world situations
• Leading response to any cyber or data-related incidents, ensuring an appropriate and prompt response with a learning mindset
• Working with senior colleagues, including the SIRO and Caldicott Guardian, to provide assurance and oversight
• Building awareness and confidence across the organisation through training and engagement
• Ensuring security is built into new systems, projects, and supplier relationships from the outset

• Develop and deliver engaging information security training and awareness campaigns
• Promote a positive, non-blame culture where people feel confident to report incidents or concerns
• Provide practical advice that helps teams make secure choices in day-to-day work
• Act as a visible and approachable subject matter expert across the organisation

About the candidate

Candidates should possess a balanced skillset across technical cyber security and governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) combined with the ability to translate this into clear, organisation-wide governance and assurance.  They will be comfortable with detail, whilst also providing proportionate, practical oversight at an organisational level.  They should demonstrate:

• Strong technical grounding in cyber security including networks, endpoints, identity, vulnerabilities, and incident response
• Experience in applying that knowledge to real world risk management, not just theoretical controls
• Good understanding of governance, assurance, and security frameworks such as Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, and NHS DSPT
• Ability to move comfortably between technical detail and clear, plain-English communication for non-technical audiences
• Experience in providing assurance to senior stakeholders such as risk reporting, audit, or governance forums
• An enabling, solutions-focused approach with the ability to balance risk, with the need to get things done
• Strong focus on behaviour and culture, not just controls and policy
• Able to challenge constructively while helping teams find workable solutions
• Comfortable influencing across teams and building trusted relationships

Relevant qualifications or certifications such as CISSP, CISM, or Security+ are helpful.

Whilst a hospice background is not required, applicants should understand the importance of working in a people-focused, regulated environment.
