Corporate Fundraiser
Salary: £28,437 to £31,390 per annum.
Hours: 37 hours per week with some evenings and weekends hours required. Happy to look at 4 days.
Location: Blackpool with a mixture of being on site, out and about meeting potential partners/networking. There will also be the opportunity to work from home.
Benefits: Stand out holiday allowance of 38 days including bank holidays as well as a host of other great benefits including free onsite parking, subsidised onsite canteen, time off in lieu, access to training and development opportunities, investment in your wellbeing, and eligibility for NHS Blue Light Care.

Are you brilliant at establishing and developing long term relationships, and want to use your skills to support a charity which helps people across the Fylde coast live their lives to the full and live well to the very end? If you would like to join an organisation with a superb culture where you are encouraged as a fundraiser to test, learn and innovate, this could be the opportunity you have been looking for.

Trinity and Brian House Hospice believe in focusing on the positives within palliative care, providing patients with relief from the symptoms, pain, and stress of a serious illness to improve quality of life for them and their loved ones. They do this through recognising that each person has individual needs and caters to these needs through offering their services in the hospice, the hospital, at home, or residential care home. They are looking for a Community & Corporate Fundraiser to support them to continue to achieve their mission of Enabling Compassionate Care on the Journey to End of Life.

This is an exciting time to join Trinity Hospice as they prepare for a series of high-profile fundraising and awareness initiatives ahead of their subsequent anniversary years.

About the Role

The Corporate Fundraiser will work closely with the Corporate and Community Fundraising Manager to secure new relationships across the Fylde Coat, developing a pipeline of sustainable income. You will identify and secure new opportunities, including corporate partnerships, sponsorships, CRM initiatives, Charity of the Year programs, and gift in-kind donations. Corporate is a very well-established income stream within the fundraising team, but there is still lots of opportunity to grow by building on the brilliant 40 year reputation of donor care and fundraising products.

Working collaboratively with the fundraising team, you will help prepare and deliver corporate sponsorship proposals for all Trinity Hospice events, products and campaigns. You will also plan and facilitate corporate engagement events with the aim of increasing brand awareness amongst local businesses and convert corporate supporters. You'll maintain a donor-centric approach to fundraising, ensuring that current supporters feel appreciated and building long-term holistic relationships.

About You

This role would suit someone who is a natural relationship builder with a talent for finding creative ways to connect with corporate supporters while attracting new businesses opportunities. You'll have worked in a fundraising or business development environment before and will have a track record of meeting financial targets and balancing a demanding workload with competing deadlines.

We'd love to see applications from people with a growth mindset, who are looking to increase their understanding of fundraising and build on the skills they already have. You'll be an excellent communicator who can work collaboratively in a creative and innovative way. You'll be organised with excellent attention to detail, and most importantly, you'll be passionate about providing everyone across Blackpool and the Fylde coast access to high-quality and consistent end-of-life care.

This role requires a full driving licence with access to a car as you will be spending time out and about across the region as well as being on site at the hospice.

If you are interested in this role, please get in touch with a copy of your CV to Ellen Drummond at Charity People in the first instance, who will be happy to provide lots more information including how to apply.

Deadline for applications: 9am Thursday 12th December
Interviews: on site in Blackpool, 18th and 19th December

Emmaus Greenwich is a unique charity that offers a home, work and individual support to people who have experienced homelessness and social exclusion. We don’t just give people a bed for the night; we offer a home, work opportunities and a sense of belonging.

Empathy, attentive listening, and strong verbal communication skills are also key requirements. 

The successful candidate will understand that many people with experience of homelessness can also be trying to navigate other complex needs. The purpose of the Project worker is to provide a person-centred support to a caseload of Companions in particular to those who are experiencing difficulty in maintaining their tenancy due to their experiences and relationship with substances, including alcohol.

Proficiency with IT and the ability to maintain up do date records in our database are necessary. 

If you have the relevant personal qualities, experience, skills, enthusiasm and a positive “can do” attitude and would relish the chance to work in this dynamic, progressive, and successful charity, we would like to hear from you. You will be joining a friendly and enthusiastic team who are passionate about what they do and a social enterprise that has an exciting future.

Could you use your fundraising skills to help drive forward world class cancer research, right here in Wales for Welsh people?

In this brand-new Fundraising Manager role, you'll build relationships with businesses and communities to encourage people to fundraise with a meaningful goal of saving and extending people's lives from the heart-breaking impact of cancer.

Salary: £40k FTE, £32k for 4 days
Contract: Permanent, ideally 4 days per week but will consider full-time
Location: Homebased, working across the North Wales patch with contract based from retail stores in either Bangor, Llandudno or Wrexham
Benefits: 20 days holiday (+ bank), generous pension contribution (double employee contribution up to 13%)

About the charity

Every 30 minutes, someone in Wales is diagnosed with cancer. It is predicted that one in two of us will have cancer in our lifetime and by 2030, over 230,000 people in Wales will be living with it.

As cancer outcomes in Wales tend to be poorer than other UK devolved nations and European countries with similar healthcare systems, it is critical that more research is done and quickly. The good news is that incredible work is being done in Wales to ensure earlier diagnosis and more effective treatment.

Cancer Research Wales has been driving forward world class cancer research for almost 60 years, funding more than £30m in research, awareness, and partnerships. But we need and can do so much more.

About the role

You'll be the face of the charity in North Wales, building relationships with community supporters and businesses through corporate partnerships. As this is a new role in the team, we're realistic about what's possible and you'll be supported to build a sustainable pipeline of long-term support across the region.

It's a varied role with huge amounts of potential, working closely alongside fundraising, research and retail colleagues. Opportunities will be available with a wide range of individuals and organisations, including community fundraising volunteers and committees, Welsh business, schools, universities, clubs and associations. With a growing community of donors and supporters taking part in events across Wales, you'll be given the freedom to grow the pipeline in your own way, using your own initiative and innovative ideas.

About you

We'd ideally love to see you bringing some previous fundraising experience and ideas with you, to help get things off the ground. We would be open to conversations with candidates from other sectors, who believe they have what it takes to make the transition and can demonstrate at least an understanding of fundraising principles and practice.

Here's what we'd love to see shining brightly on your CV:

• You work successfully to targets and have a proven income generation track-record.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills that allow you to inspire and influence different audiences.
• Evidence of relationship and rapport building skills.
• Confidence in pitching and presenting to a diverse range of people.
• Self-motivated and solutions focused, with a positive mindset.
• You're a team player who brings out the best in others.

The ability to speak Welsh is highly desirable, but not essential. If you don't speak Welsh and would be open to learning, the charity would be very happy to support you.

This is a truly unique opportunity, working as part of a growing team. Tons of potential and chance to be involved at an exciting time, implementing a new strategy, and working for a supportive Head of Fundraising.

Are you a talented philanthropy fundraiser with innovative ideas about how major donors can love their local hospice?

Salary: £38-44k
Location: Hybrid, between Stockport/Salford and home
Contract: Permanent, either full-time or reduced hours considered
Benefits: 27 days + bank, rising to 29 days after 5 years and 33 days after 10 years, opportunity to buy extra holidays, 7% employer pension contribution
Culture: 'One team', supportive and collaborative

St Ann's Hospice is growing! Currently in the process of building a brand-new hospice in Heald Green, we're looking for someone with just the right blend of stewardship and new business skills.

What's extra special?

This new role will build on the strengths of an existing and established Major Gifts fundraising programme to provide a significant contribution to the new build target, with plenty of sponsorship and naming opportunities still available.

We're looking for someone who can continue to nurture existing donors, with the exceptional stewardship they are accustomed to. But also spark the imagination of potential new donors, engaging them at an exciting chapter in the hospice's history, and start the journey to becoming loyal St Ann's supporters.

About the role

The role will begin with a focus on capital, but always one eye on future-proofing and long-term sustainability. This is a permanent role and very much viewed as part of the hospice's long-term fundraising strategy. You'll play a vital role in transitioning back from capital campaign to revenue, supporting the organisation to build a robust and sustainable philanthropy pipeline.

It's a lovely mix of stewarding existing relationships and building brand-new ones. You're comfortable and confident researching and developing new contacts, harnessing the power of existing networks. We'd also love to see you bring a positive 'new business' mindset and fresh approach to unlocking new potential.

About you

You're likely to be a seasoned philanthropy professional, ideally with a track record securing gifts at £50k+. You relish the chance to make asks at five and six figures and you'll love working closely with a well-connected and active Development Board.

There's also potential for an experienced fundraiser with transferable skills who can confidently and proactively deliver a new business development pipeline. Or perhaps a sales or business development expert looking to make a transition into the charity sector.

Whatever your background, you'll need to be able to demonstrate an understanding of philanthropy and what makes major donors tick, alongside the appetite and aptitude to new relationships from scratch.

To apply, we'd love to see you showcasing these skills, experiences and personal qualities:

Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion. We match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

Charity People are thrilled to announce we are working with The Funding Network to find a Partnerships Manager - a truly wonderful charity that builds connections that change the world. This unique role is central to a new era unfolding at The Funding Network, and will prioritise managing existing donors and building a thriving new network to increase impact for the organisations they support.

Their work is incredibly unique in the sector. The Funding Network are pioneering a model of engaged and collaborative philanthropy that bridges the divide between the most privileged members of society and the most marginalised. They facilitate real change for small charities, allowing them to grow, build their own new network of funders, develop their own infrastructure, increase support and ultimately increase their social impact.

The main facilitation is crowd funding events at which small charities pitch for funds and other forms of support. Events are hosted on a pro bono basis, and have been described as part TED Talk, part Dragons Den and part live auction. On any given evening, an audience might have the opportunity to support children impacted by parental imprisonment, families affected by knife crime, and asylum seekers facing homelessness. Audiences leave feeling inspired and uplifted by the people they've met, the work they have learned about and the difference they've made.

Partnerships Manager

• Permanent, 37.5 hours per week
• £40,000 - £45,000 - full time or part-time pro-rata salary
• Flexible and hybrid working policy with 2 days per week in central London office

Members find and select the charities The Funding Network support, and contribute approximately 80% of the funds raised at events, and make a vital contribution to core costs through an annual fee. This role will be central in shaping the future of donor partnerships by ensuring outstanding account management for their current network and expanding their base of individual and corporate members achieving greater impact.

About You

This role will appeal to fundraisers who thrive on building new connections, meeting new donors, and being close to the cause. There is incredible scope to see first hand the impact of The Funding Networks approach, helping small charities secure funding to kick-start their own exciting new journey of greater reach and allowing them to reach new heights.

The role will suit someone:

• With a record of fundraising from Corporate/philanthropy/major donor income streams and can demonstrate the skills to engage and inspire new prospects
• Who thrives in a small organisation, close to the cause and impact, and values the opportunity to collaborate and broaden their own experiences
• Can demonstrate great understanding of account management and new business processes
• Who is ready to shape their own strategy and make a lasting impact on the future trajectory of a charity
• Is an excellent communicator at all levels, and who loves talking with passion to inspire others

This is a standout role. I would love to share more with anyone interested in hearing exactly what is in store. Please drop me a message to request a job pack, set up a Teams call, and find out how you can apply.

Closing date for applications: Friday 6^th December
