Message from the CEO
Dear candidate,
Thank you very much for your interest in the role. We are at an exciting inflection point as an organisation. Currently, we are a £6m T/O organisation with ~75 staff educating ~650 students and apprentices across our two campuses alongside a variety of short course activity. In recent years we have focused on putting the systems, processes and improved physical and digital infrastructure in place to allow us to scale our business model, and therefore our impact, rapidly.
Core to these solid foundations has been a significant improvement in our financial health in the past year following the successful completion of our capital projects and the residual impact of the covid-era falling away. With no debt, growing reserves and strengthened philanthropy relationships, we can be confident in investing in the right strategies for further growth.
To ensure we are pursuing the right strategies, we are embarking on the formulation of our new strategy for the next 5 years in Spring 2025. We will be bringing together the college's internal and external stakeholders, alongside pro bono support from Bain&Co., to set bold new goals for the next decade and a detailed roadmap for how we will meet them, specifically how we will dramatically increase the number of learners we educate and empower to become the next generation of diverse digital talent.
The Director of Finance and Operations is a pivotal role in the realisation of our renewed and heightened ambitions. Growth is only sustainable and successful when built on solid foundations and scalable infrastructure. Your role will be to ensure this is in place and continues to grow to meet our current and future needs . You will articulate the College’s financial and infrastructure development strategies in conjunction with our expert Governors and your senior leadership peers. You will then be responsible for the effective implementation of these strategies and the management of a high-performing team to execute on them in line with the College's 5 values: Collaboration, Creativity, Curiosity, Resilience and Rigour.
I hope this sounds like an exciting challenge. If it does, please read on and I very much look forward to reading your application.

Contract type: Fixed term - initially 2 years with a view to renew
Working hours: Full-time
Travel: Regular travel in Europe and the US, and trips to visit programmes in our Country Offices.
Candidate level: Senior executive
Background
Around the world, public resources are being raised and spent unfairly and ineffectively, leaving millions of people without access to the quality public goods and services they need to thrive. Governments often make public resource decisions without much consultation or information from the public. Meanwhile, those with power and privilege very effectively influence government decisions in their favour.
Our goal is to make governments raise and spend public money more so that everyone has the resources and opportunities they need to thrive and get ahead. To achieve this, The International Budget Partnership (IBP) partners with budget analysts, community organizers, and advocates in 120 countries to advance public budget systems that work for people. Together, we generate data, advocate for reform, and build the skills and knowledge of people so that everyone can have a voice in public money decisions that impact their lives. For more than 25 years we have built a global network of partners that promote the public’s right to have a say in public finance. More recently we have scaled up our impacts to help communities drive change in how governments both raise and spend public resources and to inform decisions to ensure those resource translate into quality services—from healthcare to clean water.
Purpose of Role
IBP seeks a Director of Fundraising to drive our organization's resource development and financial sustainability. Working at the highest levels of the organization, this leader will develop and implement comprehensive fundraising strategies to secure multi-year, multi-million-dollar commitments from major international donors. The ideal candidate brings demonstrated success in diversifying revenue streams and building strategic partnerships, along with the ability to both envision ambitious fundraising goals and execute detailed plans to achieve them.
As a key member of the senior team, the Director will provide strategic leadership while managing hands-on fundraising activities, mentor a dedicated fundraising team, and coordinate closely with the Executive Director, Executive Team, Country Directors, Initiative Managers and Advisory Council. They will strengthen IBP's internal fundraising capacity while cultivating external relationships that advance our mission.
Success in this role requires exceptional relationship-building abilities, strategic thinking, and a proven track record of securing large-scale funding from a diverse range of channels including institutions, foundations and High Net Worth Individuals. This is an opportunity to shape the financial future of a global organization working to advance budget transparency, participation, and accountability in public finance and governance.
This is an exciting moment for IBP as it has just released its new strategy. This bold systems change approach requires reimagining the organization´s fundraising strategies and capacities and developing new and diversified revenue streams in a new funding environment where unrestricted funding has declined.
Primary Responsibilities
Fundraising Strategy Development and Execution (50%)
Donor and Stakeholder Engagement (25%)
Direct and Indirect Team Management (25%)
Profile
We seek individuals who not only possess the necessary skills and competencies for this role but also embody the values that define our organization’s culture and mission.
The ideal candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to transparency, accountability, and ethical leadership, ensuring integrity in all aspects of fundraising and donor relations. They will champion justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion, fostering an environment that respects different perspectives and amplifies voices from historically underrepresented communities.
We value individuals who exhibit collaboration and adaptability, working effectively across teams and with diverse stakeholders. An entrepreneurial and strategic thinker with a deep sense of independence and initiative, they will drive innovation while aligning fundraising efforts with IBP’s broader mission.
Above all, the candidate will be passionate about democracy, human rights, and social impact, bringing both expertise and a values-driven approach to advancing IBP’s goals.

Fifty years ago, Home-Start began with a simple yet powerful idea: parents supporting each other can transform lives. Today, we are a national movement of volunteers, staff, and partners, standing alongside families to ensure every child has the best possible start in life.
The last few years have placed increasing pressure on families. The cost-of-living crisis is forcing parents to make impossible trade-offs. The erosion of public services, the NHS and social care can leave little support around the earliest moment of a child’s life. The need for our support has never been greater.
With a network of 177 independently governed local Home-Starts across the UK and a central supporting team at Home-Start UK, we are united in our mission to provide compassionate, non-judgemental support to families facing challenges such as isolation, poor mental health and financial pressures. Last year, the network supported 75,500 children in 58,850 families across the UK and British armed forces in Cyprus, with the help of our dedicated staff and nearly 8,000 volunteers.
While we are proud of the impact we make, the need for early years support remains vast, and we currently reach only a fraction of the families we aim to help. Our network is aligned by an ambitious federation-wide strategy to expand our reach and drive meaningful change. With this shared commitment, we aim to double the number of families we support and leverage innovative approaches to scale our impact, reaching 200,000 families a year.
About the role:
As the central organisation in the Home-Start federation, Home-Start UK exists to aid the Home-Start network, providing leadership, voice and quality assurance support to ensure the network has the capacity and resilience to sustainably stand alongside families and communities in times of challenge.
With our current Chief Executive moving on after a successful tenure, we are looking for an exceptional leader to take Home-Start UK into its next chapter. As Chief Executive, you will work collaboratively with our federated network, partners, and funders to enhance our profile, strengthen our voice, expand our reach and deepen our impact. You will help secure bold and sustainable growth and influence policy to ensure early years support remains a national priority.
This is a unique opportunity to lead a dynamic, values-driven organisation at a critical time for UK families. We seek a visionary, highly collaborative leader passionate about social change— someone who excels at uniting people around a shared vision. You will be an inspiring advocate, strategic thinker, and skilled influencer and partnership builder, adept at navigating complexity and championing our movement. A personal commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusive relationships and work cultures is essential.
Diversity and Inclusion at Home-Start UK and in this recruitment:
Home-Start UK are committed to increasing the diversity of our leadership and creating an inclusive recruitment process that attracts a broad pool of talent, including candidates with lived experience relevant to Home-Start’s mission. We appreciate this is an important role with a significant mandate, so are keen to consider how a mix of skills and intersectional insights can contribute to our mission - we are open to exploring new models of leadership structure to achieve this aim, including exploring Co-CEO models. So, if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet every single aspect of the person specification, please still apply – we would love to explore the role further with you! For further details on EEDI in our organisation and in this recruitment, please see the full Appointment Brief.
