About The Murray Parish Trust
Children with a serious illness are three times more likely to struggle with their mental health. Their childhoods are overshadowed by coming to terms with diagnosis, hospital stays, treatment, feeling different from friends or managing how their illness affects daily life. Many of them struggle with severe anxiety and depression, experiencing isolation and trauma during their journey. These children are at much higher risk of long-term mental health difficulties that are more complex and difficult to treat, on top of living with often complex medical needs.
Actors Jim Murray and Sarah Parish’s first daughter, Ella-Jayne, was born with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome in 2009 and spent half her short life in paediatric intensive care, Southampton Children’s Hospital. Ella-Jayne died, at home, just eight months old. After they recovered from the immediate horror, Jim and Sarah felt an overwhelming drive to help other children and families and founded The Murray Parish Trust in 2014. They were awarded MBE’s in the King’s New Years Honours 2025 for services to seriously ill children and their families.
Our charity delivers projects that support the mental health of seriously ill children and their families. We improve access to specialist, imaginative and empowering support, at the earliest possible moment, to prevent long-term mental health difficulties. We do this by delivering a vast range of projects in children’s hospitals, hospices and other health or community settings across the UK. These include drama, dance, art, nature and music therapy; bereavement and mortuary suites, distraction equipment that reduces anxiety, sanctuary and quiet rooms; sibling support; counselling and therapy rooms; and psychological support for children/family members.
The role - Head of Public Fundraising and Operations
This is an exciting new chapter for The Murray Parish Trust. Our new Head of Public Fundraising and Operations will work closely with the Board of Trustees and our Head of Philanthropy and Projects to scale our impact and expand reach nationwide. They will play a pivotal role in leading operations and shaping the charity’s future, as well as leading on growing income from community, corporate, individual fundraising, which have been identified as strategic fundraising priorities.
We anticipate time will be split roughly equally between leading public fundraising and operational management. There is some freelance support with marketing, corporate and community fundraising, and volunteer coordination, plus trustee support with events; there is scope to expand the team as income grows. This role will support their work as well as personally deliver public fundraising activity, taking sole responsibility for individual giving and legacies.
This is a job of variety, innovation and opportunity. We are looking for an experienced fundraiser, perhaps an aspiring charity CEO, who is looking to develop skills and knowledge in charity management and strategy. This is a job for someone who is ambitious, collaborative, proactive and who has a genuine passion for championing the mental health of seriously ill children and their families.
Key responsibilities
Fundraising: Work alongside with the Head of Philanthropy and Projects to implement the fundraising strategy, including:
- Delivery of the specific fundraising activity delegated to this role to grow income year on year (individuals, community, corporate, legacies, events), supported by the work of freelancers.
- Strategic oversight of all public fundraising including monitoring, evaluating and reporting to the Board.
- Ensure excellence in donor stewardship that helps retain, grow and diversify support from existing donors.
- Maintain a proactive focus on donor acquisition, across the UK, prioritising areas where we have projects.
- Effectively utilise the CRM to proactively and accurately capture donor information and consents.
- Strong focus on return on investment to ensure efficiency in working nationwide, carefully prioritising activity.
Charity management and operations
- Help to shape organisational strategy, using data insight to drive decision making.
- Data management lead; incl. CRM management, data protection, embedding a culture of data collection.
- Lead on setting and managing annual income and expenditure budgets.
- Ensure compliance with the latest regulatory requirements and sector best practice.
- Coordinate and manage policy, procedure, risk management and wider charity administration.
- Provide support for financial management; incl. outsourced book keeping/monthly management accounts; working with accountants to ensure timely production of the Annual Report and Financial Statements
- Work closely with Board members with specific lead responsibility, incl. with the Treasurer in the production of cashflow and other financial reports.
- Supported by the volunteer coordinator (freelance), manage and develop a network of volunteers and ambassadors (e.g. talks, photo calls, events, collection tins, admin, research).
- Act as Secretary to the Board; including statutory filing, coordinating quarterly meetings and taking minutes, compiling/circulating Board papers, diarising other meetings and communication as needed.
- Represent the charity externally with diverse stakeholders.
- Responsible for the effective management and leadership of the public fundraising and operations team.
Within your cover letter, please provide detail about how you meet the person specification within the Job Description, providing evidence and examples wherever possible. This will be used by The Murray Parish Trust to score your application objectively against shortlisting criteria. It would also be helpful to include why this job opportunity and/or our charity particularly appeals to you. Thank you.

Reporting to our Board of Trustees and Chief Growth Officer – MMI, you will provide inspirational strategic and operational leadership to Mary’s Meals UK (MMUK), to drive and lead ongoing growth and innovation, as we strive to grow our movement and raise awareness and funds, on a national scale. With an entrepreneurial approach to growth, you will be bold and brave, seeking new opportunities and partnerships to foster growth, whilst nurturing our existing, deeply committed supporters.
As Executive Director, you will demonstrate strong leadership and bring proven experience of engaging and leading a leadership team through periods of growth and change, fostering a culture of collaboration and innovation. Strategy development, implementation and execution will be key to success, and you will demonstrate service, simplicity and stewardship to support agile growth across a variety of sectors and regions.
MMUK is the largest and longest established National Affiliate in the Mary’s Meals network, currently raising c.£20M to support global school feeding programmes, reaching children living some of the world’s poorest countries. The promise of a meal attracts these hungry children into the classroom, giving them the energy to learn and hope for a better future.
Key responsibilities:
· Collaborate with the MMUK Board of Trustees and MMI to lead the design and execution of an ambitious growth strategy, to ensure the organisation can achieve its mission and stays true to our values.
· In collaboration with our Director of Supporter Engagement & Income, develop and deliver an ambitious fundraising strategy for MMUK, focused on growing our supporter base, developing new partnerships and nurturing existing partnerships with various networks and other grassroots communities.
· Work with our Director of Communications to develop and implement an ambitious media and communications strategy to drive growth.
· Manage, monitor and report on the progress against organisational goals and objectives, in collaboration with our Director of Finance & Operations.
· Serve as the primary liaison to our Board of Trustees: manage, inspire and cultivate the board relationships.
Mission-driven, with extensive experience of leading a high performing non-profit or profit-making entity, on a similar scale. You will have experience across a broad range of strategic and operational functions and will combine your proven ability to drive growth, develop and nurture productive relationships and inspire our movement. Strategic in outlook, you will role model our dearly held values, inspiring and engaging everyone involved in our movement and representing MMUK to key supporters, donors and stakeholders.
You will also need:
· Significant experience of providing inspirational leadership to a senior management team and a wider organisation, with the ability to develop and live organisational culture.
· Strong experience of developing and executing strategies to drive revenue generation or fundraising.
· Experience of representing an organisation to key supporters, donors and stakeholders.
· Deep commitment to Mary’s Meals’ vision and mission and reaching the next child waiting.
· Familiarity with Churches and Christian networks would be advantageous but certainly not essential, as would the ability to represent MMUK in faith-based networks with confidence and credibility.
