We are looking for a determined, skilled, proactive trusts fundraiser to join our small team in this newly created role to help stop children dying suddenly and without explanation.

Tragically, 1-2 seemingly healthy children die in the UK every fortnight, often going to sleep and never waking up. This incidence is unchanging. SUDC UK was founded in 2017 to raise awareness of Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), encourage and fund scientific research and offer support and advice to affected families.  We believe SUDC research should receive more attention and scientific investment and are inspired by efforts to impact SIDS (cot death), where there has been an 80% reduction in infant deaths in the past 30 years. We can do so much more for SUDC children and their families.  

Why apply to SUDC UK? The post holder will be joining our ambitious, passionate, young charity, which consistently punches above its weight. SUDC remains relatively unknown to UK funders, but we are desperate to change this. Despite the current challenging trust fundraising environment, we are hopeful there are philanthropists and grant makers who will be inspired by our impact to date and the enormous potential to save young lives.

This is a unique opportunity to lead Tearfund’s Partnerships team at a time of bold ambition and global impact. With a vision to grow high-value income significantly in the years ahead, Tearfund is seeking an inspiring, strategic, and spiritually grounded leader to step into this pivotal role.

Tearfund is a Christian charity that partners with local churches and organisations in over 50 countries to tackle poverty and injustice. Their mission is clear: to see people freed from poverty, living transformed lives, and fulfilling their God-given potential. With over 50 years of experience, Tearfund responds to disasters, empowers communities, and challenges unjust systems – all through the local church.

As Director of Partnerships, you will lead a team of over 20 passionate fundraisers located across the UK and internationally. You’ll oversee relationships with high-value individuals, trusts, and foundations – both in the UK and globally – with an ambitious aim to drive unrestricted and restricted income to new heights. This is a role where your leadership will directly impact lives around the world.

We’re looking for a senior leader with proven success in high-value donor engagement, someone who thrives on building cross-cultural partnerships and managing complex, high-stakes fundraising strategies. You’ll bring deep expertise in strategic planning, a strong Christian faith, and a heart for relational fundraising that is as meaningful as it is measurable.

You’ll be responsible for guiding strategy, nurturing key external relationships, and fostering a team culture of excellence, growth, and spiritual depth. This is more than just a fundraising leadership role – it’s a ministry that calls for courage, compassion, and conviction.

For more information, please contact Adam Stacey, Managing Director, Charisma Charity Recruitment.
