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.
