Senior Development Manager
Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with the National Children's Bureau (NCB) to help appoint a new Senior Development Manager. For over 60 years NCB has worked to champion the rights of children and young people in the UK. They interrogate policy and uncover evidence to shape future legislation and develop more effective ways of supporting children and families.
The Senior Development Manager will play a leading role in securing funding from trust and foundations and other relevant sources in order to grow NCB’s programmes and initiatives. Working strategically, the post holder will focus on securing partnerships with a range of funders across the UK including National Lottery bodies and research opportunities.
The successful applicant will be a fundraising expert with considerable experience and track record of fundraising success. This is a leadership role which requires excellent relationship management and case-making skills, as well as a deep understanding of what underpins the operational approach to developing winning proposals and partnerships.
It is an exciting time to join NCB as they begin a new 5-year strategic cycle with their latest ‘NCB Family’ member, Research in Practice.
