The Kirkwood Support Life is an ambitious and forward-thinking charitable organisation delivering much valued, high-quality care and support to the people of Kirklees. We are here for anyone affected by a life-limiting illness, every step of the way and have built a reputation for excellence and innovation in palliative and end-of-life care across West Yorkshire and nationally.
In the next 10 years, we want to double the number of people we care for by encouraging everyone who might benefit from our services to reach out early enough for us to make a positive impact on their quality of life. This means we must challenge the perception that our focus is on end-of-life. While it is true this is an important aspect of what we do, it is not all we do. We’re here for local people across the community whenever they need us.
The Opportunity:
This is a challenging yet exciting time to be joining The Kirkwood. We are seeking a dynamic and visionary Director of Income Generation and Marketing to lead and drive our efforts in securing the vital funds that enable us to provide our essential services.

Job Summary:
As the Director of Income Generation and Marketing, you will play a pivotal role in developing and implementing innovative strategies to support The Kirkwood's charitable activities. Your leadership will inspire our community, increase awareness, and enhance financial and voluntary support.
The role requires strategic, long-term thinking, and you must demonstrate a proven track record of developing and implementing successful long-term income generation strategies aligned with overall fundraising goals. You should be a confident and natural leader who can clearly communicate a compelling future direction for the income generation and marketing team. Additionally, you will be a critical thinker who utilises data and trends to make informed decisions, analyses results to identify areas for improvement, and embraces a continuous learning mindset that values both successes and failures.
Key Duties and Responsibilities:
Strategic:
- Develop and execute a comprehensive income generation strategy aligned with The Kirkwood's goals.
- Foster a culture of creativity to explore and implement unconventional income generation methods.
- Lead the strategy to build The Kirkwood Movement, enhancing awareness, care outreach, and inspiring support.

- Serve as the key advocate for donors, ensuring their interests are prioritised in all activities.
- Oversee internal and external communication strategies and represent The Kirkwood in media and public events.
- Maintain strong relationships with the Board of Trustees and lead interactions with the Income Generation & Marketing Committee.
- Support Executive Management Team members and contribute to committee activities as needed.
- Contribute to the development of the 5-year strategic plan and long-range financial forecast.
- Stay informed of best practices in the sector and integrate them into The Kirkwood.
