Respect is seeking a Fundraising Manager to develop and deliver a fundraising strategy in-line with Respect’s five-year strategy, Stopping the Harm. This is a new role, which will be positioned within the Influence team, with some administrative support from the Operations team.
We are delighted to have been able to create this post to help Respect to secure the funding it needs to deliver on our strategy. As all fundraisers will be aware, the current landscape for attracting core and unrestricted funding has been challenging.
Respect has been through a period of growth and we have, as part of that process, identified that we need to diversify our funding streams. Alongside traditional trusts and foundations, we want to speak to corporate organisations and others with an interest in ending domestic abuse through addressing its perpetration. You will therefore be playing a critical role, working with the support of the Executive Leadership Team and a wider Practice Development Team that are also working to secure funds to help us to deliver an exciting programme comprising our Centre for Excellence and Influence for Systemic Change, the two pillars of our strategy.
With a new government expected this summer, we are at a pivotal point in our influencing work. To this end, our new Fundraising Manager will work towards introducing innovative approaches to diversifying income streams through effective framing and storytelling to illustrate the importance of addressing domestic abuse at its root cause, the perpetrator.
I hope that you will be interested in joining us at an exciting time to help deliver on our mission to deliver our strategy and create a world where everyone is free from domestic abuse

Fixed term contract to 28th February 2025
Full-time / Part-time / Job share available
We have been awarded a significant grant from the Defra Trees Call to Action Fund for #Defra Heart of England: growing momentum, capacity, skills and trees. In partnership with Stratford-on-Avon, Warwick, and Wychavon District Councils, the Heart of England Forest is leading this three year project to engage with landowners and local communities to increase tree cover across the landscape. Working together to identify suitable areas for trees to be planted, facilitate tree planting, and support woodland maintenance, new woodlands will be created that benefit the environment, boost biodiversity, and provide havens for communities to enjoy.
We are looking for two candidates with widespread experience of project delivery and good team working skills. The successful candidates will work closely with project partners to engage with local communities and larger scale landowners to identify suitable areas for tree planting. Working with them to understand their needs, you will provide information on different types of planting and support them through the regulatory and funding process.
You will be passionate about landscape-scale conservation and the benefits this brings to both people and wildlife and have a demonstrable track record in successful team working.
The post will be based in the Heart of England Forest head office in Dorsington, but due to the nature of the project hybrid working will form part of the role. Each project delivery post has been assigned a particular geographic area – Warwick, Stratford-on-Avon or Wychavon district – and will be expected to travel extensively across their project area. However, both posts will contribute to delivery across the wider project area as applicable, working on a collaborative manner with the existing project team.
Our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
The Heart of England Forest is committed to encouraging equity, diversity and inclusion amongst our current and future workforce. We are a Disability Confident Employer and part of The Race Report, driving diversity in the environment sector. We want our workforce to be truly representative of all sections of society and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
