We're the UK's specialist blood cancer charity and our vision is clear: we’re here to beat blood cancer. We fund world-class research; provide information and support to patients and their loved ones; and raise awareness of blood cancer.

Since 1960 we have invested more than £500 million in blood cancer research in the UK. Where we’ve invested, survival rates and quality of life have improved. We’ve been working to beat blood cancer for over 50 years, and we won’t stop until we do. Be a part of our story and help us change the world.

Would you like to support Blood Cancer UK to identify, research and secure high value corporate partnerships that will help beat blood cancer? Then this role is for you.  

Now is an exciting time to join the corporate partnerships team at Blood Cancer UK. We have spent the last two years building and cultivating our pipeline and have seen exciting wins as a result of this work, raising over £5million from the insurance sector.

We have seen record breaking corporate partnerships income in the last two years and we want that growth to continue – but we know there are more opportunities than we can capitalise on with our team the size that it is. The fundraising team has ambitious targets over the next 3 – 5 years, and we won’t reach them if we’re leaving potential partnerships behind.

We’re looking for an ambitious and tenacious new business fundraiser to help us bring new partnerships to the charity, and ultimately raise more money to deliver the change we want to see for people with blood cancer.

You will be an effective fundraiser; someone who can build strong relationships, communicate effectively, and is naturally entrepreneurial. If that’s you, we’d love to hear from you.

Majority of our roles can be performed hybrid which means you will be required to attend the office once a quarter for team meetings and regular travel for donor meetings will be required, currently a lot of our donor meetings are in London. 

Our culture and benefits package are award winning, and our staff survey tells us that we’re a great place to work.

We are committed to actively promoting equality, diversity, and inclusivity. In line with our strategy we welcome approaches from individuals from underrepresented groups, including minority communities, and applicants with a disability, to better reflect the community we serve and help broaden our perspectives.

Blood Cancer UK has embarked on an exciting and ambitious new strategy which strives to deliver the best possible treatments and care for people affected by blood cancer. A key driver of the strategy is the growth we will deliver in our regional fundraising programme. 

We have a proud history of volunteer and supporter-led fundraising, and our well-established Regional Relationship Team plays a key role in achieving income growth to support our mission of beating blood cancer in a generation 

We are looking for an experienced manager who understands and is passionate about community and volunteer-led fundraising, who keeps the supporter at the heart of what they do and is focused on delivering results. Working alongside dedicated colleagues, this is the perfect role for someone looking to put their experience of leading a community fundraising programme to use and help us grow our regional audience.  You will be an integral part of our Public Fundraising leadership team as we seek to develop operational plans to deliver transformational growth across our income. You will also enjoy the active support and buy-in of senior colleagues, the Executive Team and others from across the organisation who are all committed to achieving our fundraising goals. 

There will be two interview stages for this role with the first stage virtual interviews taking place on Thursday 24th/Friday 25th October. 

Second Stage Interviews will take place in-person on either Tuesday 29th and or Wednesday 30th October.
