Fundraising & Marketing Manager

Fundraising & Marketing Manager

Do you want to be part of the team leading a charity that has a 135-year history of combating the challenges arising from deprivation and social exclusion in East London?

Our mission at St. Hilda’s East is to equip our service users with the resilience to navigate modern life. We welcome everyone into our spaces and work together to deliver engaging activities, promote social contact and ultimately enrich lives. 

Located in Tower Hamlets, we welcome people of all ages to our large, friendly community centre in Shoreditch where we offer a wide range of activities promoting wellbeing and social connections. Our services include sensory play for Under-5’s, youth programmes, wellbeing activities for those experiencing mental health issues, bilingual advice, and activities to reduce social isolation and enhance physical and mental wellbeing for older people. We also run a day centre in Shadwell, where we care for elders from the Bangladeshi and other communities. 

This is a particularly exciting time to join St. Hilda’s East as we commemorate our 135th anniversary. We have a unique relationship with our founders, the Guild (alumnae) of Cheltenham Ladies’ College, we are located on the fringes of the City,  and we generate income from hiring out space in our community centre. These opportunities make the Fundraising & Marketing Manager position varied and interesting, with plenty of possibility to grow and develop in the role. 

The Fundraising & Marketing Manager will take the lead in developing and implementing our fundraising and marketing strategies, splitting your time about 60/40 between the two functions. As Fundraising & Marketing Manager you will be responsible for securing funding from a wide range of sources, stewarding relationships with our supporters, and managing communication with external stakeholders. 

It is not essential to have experience in the non-profit sector; we would love to hear from you if you have experience in sales and marketing in a commercial environment and are looking to bring your talents to the charity sector. 

This job is for you, if you:

• possess excellent writing skills and a passion for communicating our charitable mission, possibly moving into the charitable sector for the first time 
• have the ability to develop positive relationships with a diverse range of people including prospective corporate sponsors, high net worth individuals, partners, colleagues, and service users 
• have a proactive and creative approach to solving problems and researching and developing new sources of income. 

Benefits include flexible working arrangements including the option to split your time between our office and home, 25 days annual leave, and access to an Employee Assistance Programme.

Closing date for applications: 15th December 2024 

Our Recruitment Policy: St Hilda's is committed to racial justice and wider inclusion and diversity. We are working towards a goal where our team fully reflects the diversity and difference in lived experiences of our local community.
