About The Murray Parish Trust

Children with a serious illness are three times more likely to struggle with their mental health. Their childhoods are overshadowed by coming to terms with diagnosis, hospital stays, treatment, feeling different from friends or managing how their illness affects daily life. Many of them struggle with severe anxiety and depression, experiencing isolation and trauma during their journey. These children are at much higher risk of long-term mental health difficulties that are more complex and difficult to treat, on top of living with often complex medical needs.

Actors Jim Murray and Sarah Parish’s first daughter, Ella-Jayne, was born with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome in 2009 and spent half her short life in paediatric intensive care, Southampton Children’s Hospital. Ella-Jayne died, at home, just eight months old. After they recovered from the immediate horror, Jim and Sarah felt an overwhelming drive to help other children and families and founded The Murray Parish Trust in 2014. They were awarded MBE’s in the King’s New Years Honours 2025 for services to seriously ill children and their families.

Our charity delivers projects that support the mental health of seriously ill children and their families. We improve access to specialist, imaginative and empowering support, at the earliest possible moment, to prevent long-term mental health difficulties. We do this by delivering a vast range of projects in children’s hospitals, hospices and other health or community settings across the UK. These include drama, dance, art, nature and music therapy; bereavement and mortuary suites, distraction equipment that reduces anxiety, sanctuary and quiet rooms; sibling support; counselling and therapy rooms; and psychological support for children/family members.

The role - Head of Public Fundraising and Operations

This is an exciting new chapter for The Murray Parish Trust. Our new Head of Public Fundraising and Operations will work closely with the Board of Trustees and our Head of Philanthropy and Projects to scale our impact and expand reach nationwide. They will play a pivotal role in leading operations and shaping the charity’s future, as well as leading on growing income from community, corporate, individual fundraising, which have been identified as strategic fundraising priorities.

We anticipate time will be split roughly equally between leading public fundraising and operational management. There is some freelance support with marketing, corporate and community fundraising, and volunteer coordination, plus trustee support with events; there is scope to expand the team as income grows. This role will support their work as well as personally deliver public fundraising activity, taking sole responsibility for individual giving and legacies.

This is a job of variety, innovation and opportunity. We are looking for an experienced fundraiser, perhaps an aspiring charity CEO, who is looking to develop skills and knowledge in charity management and strategy.

About Trussell 

Trussell provides emergency food and support to people in need. They exist so that everyone can be free from hunger. Last year, their community of food banks distributed 3.1 million emergency food parcels - the most ever in a single year.

We need urgent action on hunger in the UK. People are being pushed to the brink because they don't have enough money to live on. This can't go on.

About the role

You'll support the delivery of an ambitious programme to mobilise food banks in the Trussell network to campaign for change. By supporting the development and delivery of campaign content and resources for the food bank network, you'll get the chance to lead on some key elements and an opportunity to create real impact.

A central part of the role is ensuring that people with lived experience own and are at the heart of their campaigning. As the main point of contact for food banks engaged in Trussell policy campaigns, you'll make sure that content and actions are accessible to the whole network.

How will you do this?

• Develop high-level campaign content that's accessible and packs a punch.
• Liaise with food banks on campaign activity to help make things happen.
• Support development of robust participation structures, focused on lived experience.
• Identify patterns and trends, and ensure feedback reaches the right place for change to happen.

About you

First and foremost, you're an experienced campaigns specialist with a background in designing and developing resources, activities, and content for campaigners and social change makers.

Here's more skills, experience and behaviours that will enable you to succeed in this role:

• You've worked with people with lived experience, providing structures to get their meaningful input.
• You manage projects and deadlines using well-honed time and priority management skills.
• You seek and balance a range of views and stakeholders, influencing where required.
• You confidently communicate to a range of audiences from a diverse range of backgrounds (including people with lived experience of poverty).
• You role model inclusive behaviour, always using a values-led approach.

If you agree that 2025 is the year to do something about food poverty, please get in touch with a copy of your profile or CV to Amelia Lee at Charity People.

Deadline: 9am on Wednesday 14th February

Interview dates will be confirmed soon.
