Fundraising Manager Jobs in Oxford, Oxfordshire

The Role
 The Board of Oxford Head Injury Services (OHIS formerly Headway Oxfordshire), is seeking to appoint a CEO based at the Activity and Rehabilitation Centre (ARC) in Kennington Oxfordshire, to implement our 3 year strategic plan, as we continue our next phase of growth and development to expand services, develop different partnerships, and extend the range of funding streams.

This is an exciting opportunity for a Chief Executive or an aspiring senior manager from the public, commercial or not-for-profit sector to lead the charity, and ensure we achieve our challenging goal to double the number of those we support over the next 2 to 3 years. This is an externally facing role requiring strong influencing, networking and development skills.  Success will depend on our ability to fundraise and raise awareness of what we do, develop our range of innovative services, engage with other charities, set up more corporate partnerships, work with major donors and build credibility by offering education about acquired brain injury.

Our Purpose
We were established 35 years ago to support those who had suffered a brain injury and their carers. This includes head injury from traumatic incidents such as road accidents, violence, and sports, or from neurological problems including encephalitis, haemorrhage, tumours, and stroke. There are in the region of 3500 to 4000 incidences of acquired brain injury that require hospitalisation every year in Oxfordshire alone. There are many more cases that are categorised as "minor head injuries", (such as concussion), whereby individuals experience significant effects but are not admitted for treatment. Lives and relationships can be significantly affected by acquired brain injury (ABI) and the types of support services that OHIS provides, are essential to maximise recovery, adjustment, independence and enjoyment of life,

Support we Offer
The first point of contact is usually through our ABI Navigators working within a hospital setting to identify individuals and families who require support at the earliest stages of their condition. We help individuals and carers to navigate the complex journey of recovery and make referrals to our own or other community-based services as required.

Our activity and rehabilitation centre, the ARC, includes a well- equipped gym, with exercise professionals on hand to support individuals to regain their physical strength. Those spending a day at the centre may choose from a schedule of fun, practical and stimulating activities such as yoga, tai chi, quizzes, board games, art, crafts, music, singing, creative writing and storytelling as well as special interest talks. With all of these opportunities, we seek to promote social interaction, peer support, independence, and general wellbeing.

Further, our Head Injury Buddies offer 1-1 support in the home and/or community, helping individuals to tackle everyday challenges associated with living with brain injury, promoting resilience and signposting to specialist services.

Skills and Experience we Need.

· Some experience within the charity sector, or of working closely with the NHS, local government or not for profit organisations

· A warm personality, good humour, and ability to develop new and exisiting relationships, and collaborate with a range of organisations, service commissioners, corporate partners, sponsors, funders, and users of our services.

· Ideally a sound understanding of the care or health sector.

· Financial management experience including budget setting and variance reporting.

· Understanding of fundraising streams, grant applications or income generation.

· Experience of negotiating contracts or presenting a case, engaging new clients and partnerships,

· A collaborative, supportive leadership style and ability to think creatively.

About Dogs for Good

Inspired by the way her own dogs instinctively wanted to help, our founder, Frances Hay set up the charity in 1986. France’s vision was to help disabled people by training assistance dogs to make daily life easier. In 2015 we changed our name from Dogs for the Disabled to Dogs for Good to reflect the wider community that we support.

Our groundbreaking work has shown us how dogs and the bond we share with them can lead to happier, healthier lives. Our work is bringing the best out of a person and dog relationship and we achieve this in many ways- some of these are: · matching people with our highly skilled assistance dogs

· helping families make the most of the relationship with their own dog

· providing community-based support for groups of people who can benefit from a connection with our dogs

· working with research partners to advance our work and advocate for the wellbeing and inclusion of people and dogs who support them
 

About Our Workplace

Dogs for Good is dedicated to advancing the boundless possibilities of what a connection between people and dogs can enable – in making everyday life fuller, healthier and happier for everyone involved.

· being part of a pilot project team; objectively testing what works and what doesn’t, providing feedback and evidence on the best structures, tools and processes we want to keep and repeat

· Getting stuck in and hands on – and equally enjoys looking at ‘the big picture’ and helping shape future organisational plans

Community Engagement Officer (Service Delivery Hub pilot)

This fixed term role is all about supporting the design, plan and test of our Service Delivery Hub pilot project, working closely with the Head of Hub Development and the wider Dogs for Good team. Building on experience from our other project work, this role will:

· Community Engagement: Be a key contact for our local Dogs for Good community, including those we support, our volunteers, and potential beneficiaries. Nurture and grow our community and help manage enquiries, provide guidance, and track interest to anticipate future needs

· Volunteer Management: Actively recruit, support, and manage volunteers, leveraging best practices we've piloted

· Fundraising: Seek and prepare responses to local funding opportunities and collaborate with central teams to support existing projects and develop new community fundraising initiatives

· Service Integration: Work with the Dogs for Good team to integrate our services within the Hub for maximum impact, ensuring we have the necessary processes, tools, and materials

· Evaluation and Reporting: Engage in evaluation and reporting to assess the pilot's impact, providing objective feedback and ideas for improvement. Ensure data collection aligns with our Data Protection policy and partner agreements

· Service Support: Assist our service delivery team, for example by finding and coordinating suitable venues for safe and effective service delivery

· Safeguarding: Monitor and take appropriate steps to safeguard clients, including vulnerable children and adults, in line with our Safeguarding Policy
