Fundraising Manager Jobs

Salary: £75,240 - £79,302 per annum

Location: Remote, with travel to office location a few times a year

Contract: Permanent, 35 hours per week (full time)

 

About the role:

Action again Medical Accidents (AvMA) is seeking a Director of Fundraising, Marketing and Communications to drive the diversification of their income streams, enhance their public profile, and develop robust marketing and communications strategies to support their mission of preventing medical accidents and supporting affected individuals.

This is a brand new role and an opportunity to shape and develop not just the role itself, but the team and the full suite of strategic objectives and activities to help support AvMA’s mission, vison and values.

You will play a pivotal role in helping AvMA to design plans to deliver additional income through a combination of fundraising, marketing and communications efforts that together widen their reach, empower more people and deliver their strategic aims.

And whilst this role may be new, as a charity they are not. AvMA is well-respected and have a strong brand and presence in the patient safety arena. So, whilst in the role you’ll be building something new, you will be doing so on solid foundations with a strong reputation for authenticity and impact on behalf of those they support and work with. 

About you:

With a demonstrable track record in developing multi faceted fundraising strategies and experience in marketing and communications, you’ll bring the skills needed to successfully deliver and establish a range of fundraising activities. As this is a new role, some areas of work may have not been established yet and so you’ll use your creative and solution focused mindset to generate the ideas and bring them to life, leading and motivating others as you go. 

As a strong storyteller you’ll use your skills to help AvMA raise its profile, create a better clarity of voice and widen its reach - connecting with new communities and audiences in order to increase the potential of AvMA’s impact and make a difference to more people lives.

You’ll be comfortable working autonomously and acting as the lead subject matter expert for all things fundraising, marketing and communications, taking a blank canvas, spotting opportunity, and delivering success for AvMA and its beneficiaries. You will also have overall responsibility for a budget to help you to develop what is needed, such as people, resources or infrastructure - so budget management experience is essential too.

Experience in a smaller charity and team is beneficial as you’ll need to be comfortable with both the strategic development side and inputting into wider planning, as well as being a leader who is willing to role up your sleeves and ‘do’. 

Ideally you’ll have held a role with a similar scope of responsibilities around fundraising, marketing and communications, as well as people management, however you don’t need to have held a director level role before. This is likely to be your next step and provides a very tantalising opportunity to develop, design and deliver a new function and really make it your own!

What we can offer you:

 

Salary: Circa £75,240 - £79,302 per annum, negotiable dependant on experience.

Location: Remote role. Although staff predominantly work from home, we place huge value on working as a team and supporting each other.There is an expectation that AvMA staff will get together in person at least three times a year at the office, currently in Croydon; the Staff Days are well structured, collegiate and help the organisation to maintain the emphasis on playing as a team.

Hours of work: You will be contracted hours are 35 hours per week (full time) 

Pension: AvMA also offer a stakeholder pension where the charity will provide a 5% contribution based on qualifying earnings if the employee pays in at least 3%.

Holiday: 25 days a year (full time), plus bank holidays. An additional day’s leave is acquired for each year of service up to five days. In addition, the office closes over the Christmas break for 3 days, for which annual leave does not have to be taken.

About AvMA 

Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) is the independent UK wide charity for patient safety and justice, established over 40 years.AvMA is widely credited with both having put “patient safety” on the map and having brought about huge advances in access to justice for those patients who have been affected by lapses in patient safety (“medical accidents”).

AvMA’s vision for what they want to see is a simple one: People who suffer avoidable medical harm get the support and the outcomes they need. This vision is underpinned by four objectives. Between them, we believe, they will transform trust in the NHS and healthcare generally, and significantly cut the cost – financial and human – which is incurred annually in settling legal claims as well as dealing with the human costs associated with traumatic medical injuries and death
