Corporate Fundraiser

About Momentum Children’s Charity

We support families across London, Surrey and Sussex whose children are facing cancer or a life-challenging condition. We’re there whatever the outcome, for as long as needed, so that no family has to cope alone.

The charity was founded in 2004 by our now Chief Executive and has grown enormously over that time. We currently have partnerships with 9 hospitals who refer families to us for our support, which ranges from therapies and counselling, to respite holidays and special family experiences.

We’re on a mission to help many more families with seriously ill children to know that they are not alone, and we’ll need brilliant and talented people to share our ambition and make it happen.

Our values

We strive to create an amazing workplace for all, one where every single employee feels valued, heard, inspired and supported. As part of this, we have five core values which not only help to set the framework for the work we do supporting families, but also paves the way for how we work as a team.

We are personal

We know that every employee’s home life is different and that for everyone, a work/life balance is key, which is why we’ll work with you to find the hours and days that fit with you. We celebrate individualism, welcome ideas and will support every employee with any training they might need to grow and build confidence in their role.

We are impactful

Our whole team shares a passion to make a difference. We all work closely together, which means every employee can see firsthand the difference we make – week in, week out – making it an inspiring and rewarding place to be. What’s more, through collaborative working and a multi-disciplinary approach to mapping out our strategy and looking ahead, we can all play a part in helping drive the charity forward in the way that will be most impactful.

We are adaptable

We may be a relatively small charity, but we have big ambition and pride ourselves on being an adaptable workforce. Thanks to our small and responsive team, we can quickly learn from our successes and failures, making changes that are needed to evolve and ultimately help us reach new, ambitious goals. We’re not afraid to try new ideas, from any one on the team who might have one, and we’re committed to thinking outside of the box. So, whether you have a great idea for a new service or think there’s a better way to run team meetings, we are all ears.

We are trustworthy

Being approachable, open and honest is hugely important to us and allows us to build strong relationships with our families, supporters and volunteers, to help us build a strong and committed team together. We’re transparent about the work we do and how we spend our funds, and always do what we say we will, helping each other out along the way.

We are inclusive

We apply our policy of inclusivity, equality and diversity across all aspects of our work. We believe that a diverse mix of backgrounds and experiences helps to create a productive work environment by bringing a variety of perspectives and ideas to the table, and we’re dedicated to providing equality of opportunity in recruitment, promotion, training, pay and benefits.

We recognise that we’re a predominantly white workforce and are genuinely committed to encouraging applications from diverse communities in order to improve the service we provide to the children and families we support.

We’re not just searching for skills but also how a candidate could uphold our values and enhance our culture, therefore, even if you don’t think you meet the skills criteria listed in our job descriptions, we’d still like to hear from you.

The Cardinal Hume Centre seek a Philanthropy Manager to seize abundant fundraising opportunities with wealthy supporters and really make their mark at this inspirational organisation working to counter to homelessness, deprivation and rampant inequality in central London. 

Applications close at: 9 a.m. Monday 22nd July 2024. 

Location: London (Westminster, SW1) 

About the Cardinal Hume Centre 

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to live a full life, but we know that homelessness and poverty can wreck that potential. Too often homelessness at a young age is repeated and compounded in later years. 

Our renewed vision is to increase our focus on young people, children and their families — to value every individual, nurture their potential and help people thrive. 

For more than 35 years, the Cardinal Hume Centre has helped people facing poverty and the threat of homelessness in Westminster, enabling children and young people to turn their lives around. Responding to the needs of the community the Centre is adaptive and reactive, providing walk-in appointments with their assessment team who offer basic advice and refer to our other services which include: 

• Our Family Centre 

• Free legal immigration advice 

• Welfare benefits advice for those struggling to manage on a low income 

• Housing advice for people living in unsuitable or insecure accommodation or worried about losing their home 

• One-to-one employment support to help those unemployed find jobs they want to do and improve in-work prospects 

• One-to-one English language support to those who find their language struggles are holding them back from finding employment. 

All of the above is part of our strategy to help young people and families avoid homelessness, whilst supporting those who are already experiencing or have experienced homelessness. 

About the role 

We are looking to recruit a Philanthropy Manager to maximise income secured from major gifts and to work with the Director of Fundraising on the strategic development of philanthropic giving at the Centre. 

This is an exciting role in our fundraising team, where you will manage existing philanthropic donor relationships and work closely with the Director of Fundraising and Chief Executive. 

Working with the Director of Fundraising, you will also develop a philanthropic fundraising campaign to uplift income for the Centre’s 40th Anniversary through 2026. 

This is a fabulous role with so much opportunity in this small but mighty charity. You can expect to be given every chance to shine, with plenty of support from the Director of Fundraising. She is an experienced major donor fundraiser, having worked at a number of large organisations — the knowledge from which she is now applying to really grow philanthropy at CHC. 

Joining a supportive team, you’ll collaborate on a number of projects and campaigns. You will see firsthand the difference you make in the lives of the children and young people who use the Centre. 

The successful candidate will not only significantly deepen their understanding of major donor fundraising but will also get lots of exposure to other income streams, broadening their horizons. 

Who we are looking for 

We seek a candidate who is an experienced and adept relationship-builder from a partnership-focused background with a strong understanding of the metrics for success. 

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with ambition and a desire to learn, who has been working within a larger team but is ready to step out on their own and make their mark. 

You will have genuine empathy for the charity’s beneficiaries, and you will also have the self-confidence and self-awareness needed to speak to a range of audiences whilst being a true advocate for the Centre.
